    Satanchild goes under "Raian Officer" most times.

    Also, do either of the factions have any sizable space programme going in the backstory, KILLX?

    Jekotia's is littered with failure. They had one observational satellite up, but they crashed it into the outskirts of Bren when it was obvious they were going to lose the war. The remains of the crashsite is what we know as Monument Valley, the satellite entombed in years of settled rock at the heart of it. The foce of the impact of the 43m diameter, 500m satellite tore the country side apart.

    BE has a couple observational satellites, and their main failure being the aforementioned rail satellite, affectionately nicknamed Reaper by the few who truly understood its potentional.

    we need the Idej, a group of people who specialize in melee combat, as well as wielding weapons that use pure energy focused through crystals, with enough power to vaporize most conventional shells. The only way to kill them is through hitting them with tank shells or mortar shells, but as they can deflect these back at the attackers, they are almost useless.

    [/Sarcasm]

    First, lets make each team have different tech research times or just 2 different trees altogether. Give Jeks a powerful infantry and cannon tech group, and the BE a more powerful ML and tank tech group. or something.

    The women banned together and formed the third faction to destroy both BE and NF.

    Dude: Missiles require advanced guidance systems, stability systems, etc to work properly. Missiles are much more advanced than powder exploding behind a projectile in a tube.

    Along the lines of the story, the faction that has a failed missile launching into space history should have shitty missiles but awesome tank cannons. Reverse of that is awesome missile guidance systems that allow space launching on the BE side, which supports the missiles and tanks idea.

    The only reason BE has better cannons atm is because of the BE heavy having 2-3 cannon slots. That is mostly because the BE heavy is sexier looking that way.

    Read the fucking post and stop smoking yourself.

    Only reason the Jekotian space program sucks is Brenodi spies fucking with their software and hardware. One time, a backdoor was programmed in allowing the spy to make the satellite break orbit during deployment. The impact destroyed the launch facility.

    Ironic that, in-game, NF focuses on missiles while BE focuses on cannons. For that matter, NF's storyline research is Biology. For a missile-focused tank, biological missiles are just a sad, sad choice of weaponry.

    your post sounds like you are a developer asking for suggestions ... :eek:
    and im pretty sure u dont belong to the dev team :rolleyes:

    so why should any capable modeler/artist waste time on 3rd faction models, while this is afaik not planned?

    besides that, id apreciate a 3rd and maybe even a 4th faction, as long as they are NOT ALIENS (every fucking RTS game implemets them sooner or later, so this is NOT CREATIVE!)

    Third Faction Fantasies... Pr0n title?

    It should be like in evangenlion where you get to ride mechs instead of tanks and have N2 bombs instead of HIT. Also you are really all just hamsters in human forms you can eat corpses to gain health. Your refs will be potato farms... RADIOACTIVE POTATO with Uranium 234. It will be sort of like rations, you eat the potato and put the uranium core in your guns. Then it shots off an blob of alpha particles, leaving behind Th, then you get a shot of beta particles, giving you Pa. You get another beta particle shot leaving you with more uranium, but the decayed kind. Then you have to reload quick, or the uranium oxide will give you gulf war syndrome. Oh yeah, and your rifle has some sorta thingamajig in the stock that shortens uranium's halflife to like 1 second. Empires is in the future after all. The hamsters start with DU and ER researched because of the uranium ammunition. Alpha particle blast will damage tanks, while beta particles are more effective against infantry and will turn them into energy.

    Concept art avaliable upon request

    I would say, a third faction could easily be built out of either descendents of, or people dedicated to protecting, the Ancestral Empire and its technologies.

    Veeery easy...just give them a name :)

    The third faction would be a bunch of clones of OuNin.
