military faction?

[standizzle]

only a couple days old with glest... found this game DL'd it and fell in love. i used to MOD games such as MorrowWind, and Fate, if any of you have ever played them.

im no good with art.. or any of the art'sy related stuff. but. im very good with concepts, and might be able to mess around with some old sound software i have from production classes in college..

was wondering if anyone wanted to give it a go? or if anyone has one in the making?

i see all the roman, the aliens, science, persian..... etc. which is all great.

but i believe a military tech/faction has a lot of potential to be great, esp. if you take ineffect American army, Iraq army, german army.... jap army...can take aspects from ww1/2 to present day. etc... the possabilities are really endless, and would really be interesting at least to me O_o

cheers? thoughts? comments?

There's already a military faction. Find it here
No different races but we'll see what Omega says when he sees this topic.....

The problem with that idea is that there is so little differences between the different armies.  I mean, everybody has a tank, an infantry, etc.  See what I mean?

Yii!

I just saw it!

Heh, first lets clear the dust. Military Tech Tree is in developement, and the public beta goes truly public in FOUR days (for now, silnarm won a draw for advance use). The final version has a new main menu model, tons of scenarios (10 + planned), tons of maps (over 40 from the map pack), and plenty more!

Please note that there is no countries I'm afraid. Style of the models come from various ethnic backgrounds. All countries used in scenarios are FAKE. All biases are faked. No actual countries are mentioned (though a canadian flag appears every now and then, patriotism). I do not want to start a real life war (even just a flamewar) over countries. While war in video games is AWESOME, in reality, it is a harsh, cruel thing, pretty much not the ideal reality.

Regardless, I think you'll LOVE military. Keep an eye out for the beta in FOUR days. THe expected final should be not too long after GAE 0.2.13 comes out. If I finish everything except the source coding before the next GAE, I'll start on FPM as a side project.

while i appreciate your feedback. i did read omega's, even before i posted this. my concept is totally different. and was thought of before i even looked at / registered for the forums.

didn't wanna have a advertizement for him... BUT, i will be checking it out regardless, if anything for the crazy # of maps. ^_o but if anything, i hope i inspired you something lol iunno ::shrug::

my question still stands to anyone interested in teaming up for this.

modman. while you might consider that a flaw, you can do just like COD. do a couple of them. (2-4). and do them well. and imo its a success. puts a whole new twist on the game imo. could even put in a semi zombie mode where you have to maintain a enclosed camp while constant zombies(or other players/factions ? O_o) attack you. (as well as many countless maps of actual battles. closely resembling the best allowed in game) and any army at least looks different in uniform. can somewhat resemble them..., (a typical solider) of what that army looks like. russia with tanks. call in white red sun jap planes, have german army have the dogs that run around the map crazy fast and try to kill you. there are certain things about each army you can take and put it somehow into their tree/tech/look/actions/sound bytes/buildings/etc, even if is a small number... it can still be done well.

again. countless limitations for scenarios, with so many dif. type of soldiers/rank... it would really be indepth as much as you wanted it to be..

I like the concept of having each faction be slightly different, and I think that would be a good next step after Military is done.  That would be the basic standard faction, and then others would be built upon it with a few different units, different models/textures, the soldiers could have different guns, etc.
