Templar Assault Stories

[blackgauntlet]

Instead of Templar Escorts, these tourists sounds like they need a copy of the Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy instead.

No i dont mean animated speeches. I mean give the characters a face. Instead of just text during the mission when you hit certain points of the map. That way u can create more story, conflicts, twists in the plot cuz there are characters.

Also the radar thingy doesnt have to be an ability. I mean just bleeps showing where the aliens are. Those that i can see. Cuz the map looks the same everywhere and its easy to miss an alien. Once i was playing and suddenly wf when did this guy come up behind me.

Aye, understood... character portraits, you meant. Understood and +1. Though, at this stage (v0.1), it's probably still a little too raw and unnecessary. But at later stages, it will definitely be indispensable.

Unforgiveable! You have free rein of the map, since you can scroll around, with unlimited visibility and you can get scratched "suddenly"? I would have smote you if you had not given a good suggestion earlier. ;D

I was too busy arranging marines to take care of the tyrannid i mean xenos in front i didnt scroll around thinking i had my back safely against the wall lol.

I hope theres a mission editor of sorts.Wesnoth is a great game that became better when it allowed players to make missions with full storylines. When they published their mobike version they even inckuded some player maps as part of the batch of missions. So in that sense we can help out too. I know im eager having made my own pen and paper games with friends heh heh

Also since we are suggesting stuff itd be cool to adjust the stats of the alien and add variety. Or change image. Imagine dumbing down the xeno stats, put in some goth looking freak weilding a dagger and wala! Feeble chaos cultists to slaughter! Imagine implications for storyline drool

[baronic]

Also not just faces but names. Make an epic battle. That the fans make build community mission spin offs of. Maybe good ones can be adopted ad part of the official storyline.

Its stuff galaxies are made of

I know that a mini-map with radar dots is coming.
I know that I am testing a campaign which uses portraits for some of the characters (good and evil) that are involved.

That's all I got.

Ohhhh ** great news andrew!!!

I know that we have non-xeno enemies in my campaign. Pirates and corrupt Faction soldiers.

I know that we use an application called TileEd (www.mapeditor.org) for making the maps so someday we might have some levels built by members of the extended TB team (that's you folk.)

Really??? Yauuuh ^_^ good,good...i love ur dedication =)

[blackgauntlet]

You rock, TB. I'd pay for your next lap-dance if we ever visit a stripper club together. ;D

[Slide87]

[blackgauntlet]

@blackguard your first story suggestion just seems like playing a modified "Horus Heresy". I think that would be fun
