ideas for new mods. lay your ideas

[the warlord of the reich]

hi guys.

i introduce this topic for the business of ideas and opanians for new mods

lets all bring new ideas for new mods to be made. this will be helpful for modders (who like to mod around) or you can say your opanians and favourite units of the current mods.

i say there should  be a new mod based on WARHAMMER: BATTLEMARCH where theres the orcs & goblins army. and the ratmen and rat beasts armies. and the empire of the south. and drak elves and high elves, the barbarian savages of the north. and the dwarven army.

another idea. make an arabian mod! arab tribes men and clanwars. or chinese mod of their civil war in feudal times. there was an epic drama through the chinese clanwar.

i like british mod!

lay your opanians here. feel free to talk

Hmm...I think there was a mod based on Warhammer before...cept I think it was mostly retextured units.
An idea thread huh? Interesting...although there were many threads like this in the past...

I KNEW IT! IS DAMN KNEW IT! i should have got more sense to realize that theres must be somebody else who had the same idea of a topic. and also i checked for a sticky one! damn

Actually, probably not.  We typically have more ideas than we know what to do with, and just not enough time to finish them.

Looks like my old thread "What would be the ultimate mod?"
Generally speaking from my own experience, mod ideas are plenty, picking something that could be doable and fun though, is very hard. I think the purpose for this thread should be not to come up with mod ideas, but disguiss wich one that coudl potentially be fun; and leave the useless ideas back. Though, all probably have different opinions, sorry for not making it clear in this post, im like zzz..

Although I think everyone who can mod has a project going right now, I still like these threads. It's good to get ideas going and spread inspiration. You never know how many good ideas we could be missing out on.

I had an idea for a tech-tree. If I wasn't already working on Constellus I would make it.
It would be set in a post-apocalyptic earth. The planet is dead, and no food can be produced, so in there is massive starvation and chaos. After a few decades of all governments breaking down, All people are now cannibalistic. Everyone is scattered into different groups fighting to eat each other.

The way it works is if you kill one unit, you would get about 3 food resources. So you literally need to fight to become more powerful.
Also as more units become available, they start looking less like humans and more like gray-skinned, blood-thirsty cannibals.

That's pretty much all I thought out. I have a few more ideas if anyone's interested in making it though I guess. I was thinking about calling it "Hunger..." or something along the lines of that.

[the warlord of the reich]

i was thinking....

and i got a BRAND NEW IDEA!

what about a medieval mod? knights and pikemen, longbowmen etc

would be lots of fun. right? the regular glst is medieval VS magic anyways. but this is gonna be like vikings VS english or normans and scottish VS other fctions.

if you like the idea. it is probably good for glest to make a mod like this!

[the warlord of the reich]

[Zoythrus]

that means that either you've been playing GAE or the crappy Glest from the website. download MG for the Megapack.

[Gabbe]

lol...

i told you that a comic faction just wont work (and im not talking about dodging copyright laws); but a star wars mod would be cool (especially if it's based on the Galactic Civil War, aka Episodes 4-6)

Sorry, but that won't happen...for various reasons. I'm pretty sure we (community) discussed this already.
The closest thing would probably be SST:LD.

Or Glest In Space.

[asdfghjkl80]

yeah i know we already disscused them but i wanted to post it on the proper page for it.

i told you that a comic faction just wont work (and im not talking about dodging copyright laws);

also i have been trying to get the comic faction to work by not using copyrighted names or names that are 1 pearson.

and also i can't get sst or glest in space to run on any of my computers.

but a star wars mod would be cool (especially if it's based on the Galactic Civil War, aka Episodes 4-6)

i am still working on getting the map for star wars made and i think i am going to go with an old republic or galactic civil war.

[asdfghjkl80]

this is the sites that has the maps on them only marvle,marvle 2 star wars old republic,and empire

Why not make a tech tree with all the factions together?

Why not make a tech tree with all the factions together?

very true. and verry good idea. but that may not go well. like choosing the roman faction and japanese faction. would'nt that go wrong? feudal japan at mediaval VS ancient romans may not go well at all. really

[asdfghjkl80]

actuality that is a relay good idea and i already started on it a while ago i just haven't ever got it done.
one problem that there was thou is having units with the same name but i fixed it i will let people know when it is more near done.

I've just been putting all the factions into one tech tree. Right now I have 37 factions together. All I really had to do was add any new armor and attacks to the tech tree xml. On occasion I had to convert resources back into stone, gold, and wood.

i did not worry about converting resources i just used what it needed and made sure you could get more when necessary.

But then the new resources replace old resources and make all the other factions unable to gather resources. Like the factions from the man vs bunnies tech tree. It uses mushrooms instead of gold and rock instead of stone.
