Resource managment & verteran units

[old.Ronny_rules]

I thinks it's a good idea to add resourse managment (like resource mines and resource fields) and veteran units to the game. Resources can be used to buy (special) vehicles and turrets. Standard units can become veteran units after a number of kills. Verteran units should have special skills (speed, fire-power, special packs etc.)

This will add even more team-play to the game.

Is this a good idea? How to get this done?

I personally think things like this belong in mods. But nice idea anyway

Ummm

Uhh, are you out of your mind?
Oh yeah, I wanna spend 30 mins down a mine whacking at a wall so all my friends can have fun....

Let's try.......no.

Go play Age of Empires, Red Alert or Cossacks if you want Resource Management.

Uh, no, not really.

Never said that you had to dig, we can use robots to do this kind of stuff. We have to guide them and protect them against the enemy, but the resourses will give you some game advantages (demolition tanks etc.). You can destroy the enemy robots or steal their resources. That will give us some new interesting strategic elements.

I think it's worth trying.

Maybe you should try Q3 or UT: fragger's paradise.

Ooo

Well Ronny, I take into account what you said, and I still reckon it shouldn't be changed in the real game.

However, C&C Tribes 2 will probably be using that system, and you can go see them here.. http://www.planettribes.com/lennex/

Maybe you could have a go at creating a mod? Talk to some people, or go talk to the people at Lennex, see if they need help.

And, since yer a n00bie to the Tribes Community (2 posts), welcome! Come talk to us in #bwtl, on the quakenet servers.

Oh, P.S, I'm gonna ignore "Maybe you should try Q3 or UT: fragger's paradise." cuz I know you were angry.

Milkshake, thanx for the information. Great site. I'am really looking forward to this mod.

Interesting note from the C&C Tribes 2 site:

" Thursday May 3, 2001 10:04 PM
PC Gamer UK has contacted us on our mod, and would like to do a feature in their mag. Were working hard on our alpha copy to get some screen shots and more in depth information out to them. So if you, our fans, would like to submit some concept work that we could use to send to PCG UK, we will look over it and send it off with our design documents, alpha build and screen shots. "

Wow.

I don't really bother wheather the resource managment is in the real game or in a mod. I'd like to play it. A C&C look-a-like mod would be even better.
