Intra-species warfare?
« on: November 02, 2003, 11:46:32 pm »
Are there any plans to support more than 2 teams on any given map, and/or intra-species warfare (ie. humans vs humans, aliens vs aliens)?

Other than that - *unique* special abilities would be very cool... for example an alien that can go into defensive mode (which would take a while to go in and out of... kinda like siege tanks going into siege mode in Starcraft) ...where they'd have more "armour" plating up front, move more slowly and can take more damage without being hurt as much. Unique stuff like this for each class would really enhance strategic gameplay.

Cheers

oh... that and...

MAP MAKERS: please Please PLEASE put some routes in your maps that only small aliens can get through (ie. air-conditioning vents/whatever), this would *really* add to the gameplay- immagine being in a room as a human and seeing something move out the corner of your eye... you look up and see three little alien buggers springing from an air-conditioning vent near the roof... SHIT *bang bang* *splat* *bang* *crunch-rip* AAAAAAAAAAARGH

two dead aliens, one dead human. one little alien bugger left alive.

*drools*

Enough ranting from me for now :P

maybe you guys should add a feature to tremulous that stops PsychoBrat from posting any threads or posts on this forum.

I like that defensive idea Psychobrat :)

As it stands the aliens do have uniquie abilities, which include wall walking, wall jumping, and eh... other stuff, that we may not want to give away just yet ;)

As for the Alien only section,  the problem with that is when it comes near the end of the game, the humans are claiming victory, all the alien eggs have been destroyed... but one alien is still alive, and he's hiding in a place the humans cant get to :/
its not fun, I've seen it happen many times in Gl... eh.. other mods.

we may not have Alien-only-vents, but I for one am putting vents in, which should give the same effect (exept knowledable humans may be will be able to persue).
But you can get the same sort of feel you're hinting at with just the wall walking...
you're in a big dark room, you think you see some movement on the ceiling... you look up but dont see anything....
little do you know there is an alien up there running in and out of cover, watching your every movement...

Fun Fun Fun :D

This has come up some time before. It's obviously a good idea and clearly it is possible to do, but as it stands Tremulous makes way too many assumptions about the opposing team being something other than the player team to make it feasible to implement at this late stage.

This is the sort of decision that needs to be made at day one. Unfortunately I didn't make this decision so it won't be happening in Tremulous.

Cool 8)

Oh, and one more thing- BOTH teams DEFINATELY need a key that automatically shoves a large crowbar up who's arse! (maybe if you hold it down for three seconds it starts stabbing around maniacally? :lol:)
