What are our priorities for 2.0+ going to be?

Um.... why don't you make the armories designed like bunkers?

 

any then put them around the flags to make the golf more interesting?

 

I wouldn't mind bunker shaped armories to be honest, if only because people would place more armories.
On public servers you sometimes have no armory in the entire map, no engy that wants to put down an ammobox, and a commander that keeps telling "stop getting apc's you idiot, we have nuke heavies, they are much better".

 

I think we should be able to upgrade the armor on building and on the cmd vec armor and eng.

 

Wow, sounds like Krenzo still has his work cut out :p...

 

It's more like the 7th or 8th:D .

Plus, I re-posted it here with some extra ideas. I'm going to try the 'bug everyone until they consider it' tactic.

 

A small suggestion for you destroyer, make a map, put your bunker in it, and then show it.

 

Or model a bunker. ;D

But seriously, the only decent way to put in a bunker is make the armory more like one.

 

meh bunkers would end up being counter productive in this game.. no commander wants there team to be hiding inside a structure rather than advancing on the enemy. Also in my opinion it just gives the enemy a little box to aim at where the enemy will be

 

I would love to make a map and put the bunker in it, in fact I've put some in other map i've made. The only problem is that Hammer is crashing whenever I try to place a brush or entity in my maps...

I'll do that when I can get Hammer working properly again.

 

Indeed and also an enemy with cover and a healthbox and all the ammoz in the world.

wauw...... planes plus some of the more radical ideas sound like an insane amount of balancing.

Also no one ever answered me if it had been decided if the existing guns are going to be used as AA or if we are going to have new guns against aircrafts? new turret or something ?.

 

-engine ep1 in launch parameters.

A new turret, new tank, and new fire mode for the grenadier's weapon. (it's actually only one weapon )

 

Okay, I feel stupid now. I did a simple search and got the fix for Hammer, then come back here and you guys posted it too. I'll have a screenshot in a little while.

EDIT: Here's a very simple bunker I made for an old garrysmod gamemode map. The concept is basically the same, except it would be spiced up and Empireitized. This one is very plain and stale, I would never advocate something looking like this in Empires. I could work on it if you want to make it look nicer and more appropriate.

 

nice I hope its like a flak canon or something.

 

I'm pretty sure it's an AA missile.

 

cool I guess the new AA systems will be almost as cool to test as the planes. It shall be interesting to see if combat will become more complex with new specialised systems and resources split further.

Now res goes to boomtanks. With planes it ofcourse also goes to planes but also anti plane systems.

 

Oh man, Destroyer, you are my hero! HERO!!!!

And rex, who cares if it'll take a long while to balance? I have fun getting blown up while drag shoots the crap out of me in the name of science. SCIENCE.

 

:D :cry:

 

Well I had fun during all the RCs and ofcourse I expect this will take a very long time to do once the RCs begins again. I just remember it getting somewhat balanced like every 3rd RC and then getting thrown off balance by something new, but often very cool.

I remember a conversation with etho in the something like 25+ RCs where we were like...... will it ever end ?.

Ofcourse that is what the test team is for.... testing new stuff. Then going into the forum to bitch about changes that results in stuff like the imortal party vans, Heavy MGs taking out all tanks and what not:D . And ofcourse the sticky mines that captured the hearts of everyone there, but only got to live about 15min.

 

Yeah the sticky mines were awesome

good times
