Empires 1.07 and Blimps

I returned to find that there was not a .7 thread, Krenzo explained that it had died so I hope to re-birth said thread by telling all of you that blimps will be included in the .7 patch.

Thank you.

 

Blimps, or blimbs? There is, after all, a vast and mighty difference.






One has TWO B's.

 

Blimps, the flying airships

 

Will they have turrets? And can engies build flak guns that can be controlled?

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH no. NO NO NO no no no. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Quit trying to sabotoge my brain and steal my thoughts, damn it!

Not that flying whales wouldn't be cool. IF they were VTOL.

 

Well, thats a given. The Kraken of the Skies, on the other hand, will need a catapult to become airborne.

The only way to get on the blimp should be via a very tall tower. See zeppelins.

 

Now I'm just all confused :^(

 

Another 1.07 thread headed to the blackhole...

 

Don't worry, i'll keep this one alive!

But seriously, things for 1.07:

-More maps.
-MGs on jeeps.
-Extra controllable turrets on other vehicles.
-Extra wall types that can be built.
-Bunkers that can be built by the commander.
-Aircraft.
-Those NPC soldiers we've heard rumour about.
-Blimps.

EDIT:
-Ironsights.
-Deployable MG.
-Deployable mortar (stronger of course).
-Do something with the scout's rifle. Something, just to stop the complaining.

 

Id love to have NPC bots that I could command, five stars for sure.

turrets on vehics will prolly come after the planes

Bunkers will need me to model them, so, um, I have to finish these planes.

 

Could you accept some part-time help from the fans?

I saw some decent bunkers on the last forum I believe.....

 

Im all for help from the fans, we will take any models/art/sound etc that we approve of. (There were problems with those barracks I think)

 

Nerf the scout rifle!

 

I made an Imperial Bunker model that I have been posting about on this thread.
heres a pic.

if you want it, you can have it.

 

nerf teh rouge u hax0rz!

(Yep, right for the blackhole).

Honestly, what's on the chopping block anyways? 1.063 is a little unstable for me, but then again it's beta. All is playable. I know aircraft have at least another month. Probably two. But we know of ironsights and stuff. Anything from the Dev Team out there?

 

But will there be mecha-chocobos? :confused:

 

So Blimps for 1.7 or 1.07? It would be nice if the Devs could go through the pro con suggestion thread and grade it like a report card, so we know what to discuss. We can talk about Blimps* all day, but if we're not getting them till 1.7, we might as well talk about something current. I liked artemas' suggestions.


*for example, because Blimps are widely believed to be a part of Doobie's fantastic imagination.

 

Apparently blimps are in the next patch knight.

If you need any help with models just send me an email or PM me Don.

 

May I have an official list of things that are currently planned for 1.07? A pretty please with sugar on top.

 

yeah krenzo or someone please, i need my fix of official information.... now!!! arrrrgh
