I had this really amusing idea for a mod I think someone should make

Everything is medieval. Instead of turrets, you have fixed artillery (such as ballistas or catapults). Instead of guns, humans get knives and swords, the type and range depending on the weapon (e.g., blaster would be a small knife).

Humans get various types of medieval armor. Helmets are metal. larmour is chainmail. bsuit is full body metal armor.

Aliens have really big teeth and are a bit slow, and because it might be unfair otherwise, there is no such thing as stamina.

All of the buildables, weapons, and upgrades would have to be replaced. Most of the models would have to be replaced or adjusted. The sounds and default HUD would have to be replaced. A lot of work would have to go into balancing the aliens.

But I think it would be fun :-)

They already made that game.

It's called "Savage".

Undeference · « **Reply #2 on:** December 11, 2006, 05:39:23 am »

No, it's not what I want. lol
It takes place in the future, not the past.
The HUD isn't convincing enough.
The world looks too much like a fantasy world, not very real. By comparison, Q3 is ultra-realistic.
It can be played like an RTS, with a HUD just like in Starcraft or Warcraft.
You're fighting against the "beast horde". Need I say more?

Plus, I don't want projectile weapons. I want exclusively melee weapons :-)

YAY FOR KNIGHTS!
I think it'd be fun, but who would waste time trying to make that? It'd take too long... :-?

Alright, well than how about Darsana?

Dretches would be white rabbits with big pointy teeth, I assume.

techhead · « **Reply #6 on:** December 11, 2006, 09:03:29 pm »

I hope for those additions.
I am also hoping to try hunting wolves with a longbow.

The tyrants should either be a non-flying dragon, or the animated monster that chased the knights until the animator had a coronary.

Medieval? Bleh. Steampunk is what trem needs

Think "triple expansion" instead of "reactor", etc...

No idea what the aliens would look like, perhaps killer self-replicating steam powered part-biological robots. Dretches could be like this (real) steam centipede: http://www.crabfu.com/steamtoys/rc_steamipede/
and tyrants could be like something from this page: http://www.idwpublishing.com/titles/transformers/hos.shtml
Finally, got defense computer? http://ed-thelen.org/bab/bab-t-photo.jpg (a calculator that was compact for it's time, check some of the diagrams: http://ed-thelen.org/bab/bab_tech.html )

lol wtf omg dood wtf...
hah, that's sooooo hilirious. That'd be really weird... but also in another way, looks pretty cool. Will be fun to play

For medieval mod, the reactor could be the King's throne and armory could be the blacksmith's place and med could be a pub(?) or a healing place.

techhead · « **Reply #15 on:** December 13, 2006, 05:08:52 pm »

I think he meant more along the lines of Castle Anthrax.
Yes, its not a very good name for a castle, is it?

yeah, i've tried a variety of games, and FPS's are definitely my favorite. seeing a little character throw a ball of fire just doesn't appeal to me. seeing a rifle pound bullets into an alien from close up is much more satisfying.

Medival isn't so dumb, dear. Just read some my ideas:

Humans Team:

Weapons:
Lot of throwing stuff - axes, spears, knifes, shurikens (!) etc - lot of damage, small amount of ammo.
Shooting stuff: crossbow, bow.
Melee weapons: swords, and throwing stuff would be useful too.
Alternate weapon: miserycord.

Armors:
Light Armor: chainmail.
Helmet

: helmet.

Battlesuit

: full armor.

Buildings:
Reactor

: Christian altar.
Armory

: Blacksmith workshop.
Medistation

: small baptismal font.
Defence Computer

: book shelf.
MG Turret

: ballista, sth like that.
Tesla Coil

: no idea, some kind of ballista, or sth like that

Repeater

: small Christian altar.

Items:

Shield would be useful. While shielding no possiblity of attack.
Grenade

: some kind of medieval bomb, or sth like that.
Medkit: small vial with holy water.
Battery pack

: quiver.
Jetpack: Black ninja cape - disallows flying, allows wallwalk.

Aliens:

More spiderous. Less HP. Bit slowlier.
No barbs for advanced dragoon. No electrical shock for

advanced marauder.
Advanced dragoon and advanced marauder can flamethrow, like drakes.
And trapper allow more movement. No bigger changes.

You could incorporate magic into it for some effects.

The grenade would have to be the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

Matt Yee · « **Reply #24 on:** December 19, 2006, 02:39:03 pm »

I don't like magic, and i think that God's help is more pr0per.

Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch? Stop joking, it's damn hell serious problem! :x

Neo · « **Reply #25 on:** December 19, 2006, 03:22:55 pm »

I suppose in a fantasy game God might exist but that's beside the point.

People will play something that is fun rather than one that is trying to be overly accurate.

techhead · « **Reply #26 on:** December 19, 2006, 09:06:45 pm »

Make all the aliens into mythical creatures.

Dretch: Imp
Basilisk: Mythological Basilisk
Marauder: No ideas yet
Dragoon: Dragon, Adv. breathes fire
Tyrant: Troll/Giant

dragons own trolls or giants.
