I haven't got abilities for everything... But...

I'm think each type opf marine should have a grenade, not sure which, but I'll see if I can come up with some stuff.
The whole Generator upgrade thing isn't really required, but personally I think it's cool. Input?
I also figured that Medics shouldn't be trained at a Barracks, but if you don't like my way then we can just lump 'em together.
I'll come up with some Lab and Academy upgrades later.
Finally, I need you to tell me some more about the X302 (or we could just replace it with a Puddle-Jumper which I know all about).

I'll mock-up the abilities later tonight.

So, whaddayah think?

It's cool but if you want some more, just look at gatecraft old techtrees, there are far more abilities as we worked on it (coldfusion and me) for quiet a long time!

I did, the main problem is that GateCraft's human techtree makes use of alot of non-Tau'ri forces. From a storyline perspective I really don't see the Tok'ra actually being in Earth's normal ranks, even if they are allies.

Also, there are a hell-of-alot more units than Standard Wc3.

Edit - Is there gonna be a tiered town hall? Or are they just gonna remain the same throughout the game?

i believe it probably will be non-tiered... kind of like sc terran and protoss; however, there will be more buildings to biuild units from... this is my guess

I was very carefull not to add too many units and buildings so the project won't expand too much. Let's try to keep the scale realistic.

Hmm Every race should have their hero and I was thinking Commando could be Earth's Hero.

I don't want many heros on the mod because they only screw the balance and certainly not any neutral hostile units.... :god_help_us:


Here is some potential Goa'Uld units Did I forget any:

GOA'ULD

One of our galaxy's dominant species, the Goa'uld are serpent parasites
that forcibly take human hosts, and possess a thirst for power and worship.
They have enslaved countless worlds, using their inhabitants as hosts, soldiers,
miners, and personal slaves.


Units:

Jaffa slave
abilities: harvest minerals
build structures
repairs

Jaffa soldier

First Prime ("Hero unit like comando")

Super soldier

Goa'uld larva
abilities: can infest humans and become Goa'uld:P

System Lord

Tel'Tac Gargo ship

Death Glider

Al'Kesh Mid-range attack bomber

Ha'Tak class Mothership

More buildings means more work. And I don't want that we suffer the same fate like gatecraft....

#Assault Marine - Fires bazooka (stinger missiles). Effective against Vehichles, small air units like gliders)
:: Stinger missile upgrades 3 levels (Upgrades attack speed cooldown, range and effect)


#Commando - Has Sniper Rifle. Very effective against infantry.
::C4 - Destroys a building.
(Ok so He is a bit like commando in C&C and Red alert that is fine to me )

UAV
::Advanced Radar (passive) - Allows the UAV to see cloaked units.
::EM-Pulse - Temporarily disables all vehichles and ships in the area-of-effect (including the UAV).
::Paint targets like Ghost in SC

Missile Silo - Fires various types of missiles. (Cost much food so players can build basically only one of these)

::Shrapnel Warhead - Fires a missle that explodes with a massive shrapnel burst. Effective against infantry.

X-302 Is Fighter armed with missiles. It can operate both on ground and orbit. Like we have seen it can kick gliders asses rahter easy so I quess one X-302 is atleast 1.5Xglider. Finally it has hyperdrive engines! We wont't replace that baby

:: Hull upgrades 3 level
:: Missile upgrades 3 level
:: Hyper Drive engine upgrade

X-303

good news :D i started to unwrap... and it's working!!!! i'll post screens of the hummer soon... i got an away game today..so i can't work on it further... but i'm almost finished with the turret

My initital thoughts on Goa'uld:
1) Jaffa have little to no air defense, so I think Death Gliders should be cheap and available early-on.
2) We really need a new generator name. Naquadria is only used on Ha'tak or above class capital ships, not standard bases, but I can hardly hall it the Naquada Generator b/c that's the human one.
3) Hero must be decided on. Personally I don't like the idea of the Jaffa being a hero and the Goa'uld being a unit, but it's up to you.

Here's the Goa'uld units I came up with:

Citadel - Town Hall.
#Jaffa Slave - Builds and gathers resources.
#Larva - A Goa'uld symbiote with the ability to control enemies and allies.
::Infest - The Larva takes control of a unit, making it faster and stronger. This ability works on both allied and enemy units.

Naquadria Generator - Produces Energy & Food.

War Camp
#Jaffa Warrior - A staff wielding warrior. Attacks ground units.
::Jaffa Regeneration - Because of their symbiotes, Jaffa regenerate faster than other humans.
#Jaffa Grenadier - The Jaffa Grenadier wields a staff weapon identical to that of a Jaffa warrior, but is also equipped with several classes of grenades. Attacks ground units.
::Jaffa Regeneration - Because of their symbiotes, Jaffa regenerate faster than other humans.
::Shock Grenade - Stuns enemy units in the area-of-effect.
::Explosive Grenade - Damages enemy units in the area-of-effect.
::Tak'Unit'Agaminituron - Lays a special grenade on the ground which fires energy bolts at enemy units.
#Zae'Tarc - Reconditioned enemy soldiers, Zae'Tarcs serve the Goa'uld as lethal assassins. Their energy weapon can kill quickly but has high power requirements. Attacks ground units.
::Cloak - The Zae'Tarc become invisible.
::Self-Destruct - On the failure of her mission (or perhaps, on the terms of her mission), the Zae'Tarc activates the seld-destruct explosive on her weapon, causing an explosion with large damage.

#Unas - A powerful melee unit who rips infantry apart with its claws. Attacks ground units.
::Roar - The Unas bellows out a fearful roar, stunning enemies and reducing their attack damage.

Temple
#Jaffa Priestess - Jaffa trained in the worship of the Goa'uld.
::Warchant - The Jaffa Priestiess chants, increased allied attack damage.
#First Prime {I have yet to come up with abilities. Maybe the System Lord should be a hero, it doesn't make sense for a Jaffa to be stronger than his System Lord}
#System Lord {I have yet to come up with abilities}

Cloning Facility
#Kull - Abominations in the eyes of many System Lords, yet wanted by all, the Kull are the ultimate warriors, pieced together by ancient technology and placed in near-impervious armor. {Because of their power, I think we should limit them to a certain number of units}
::Ancient Armour - The Kull's armour makes it impervious to most types of fire.
::Ancient Weapons - The Kull's weapons kill unarmoured units upon hitting.

Starbase
#Death Glider - The Death Glider is the standard air unit. Attacks ground and air.
#Al'Kesh - The Goa'uld bomber. Attacks ground with bombs and air with energy weapons. Most effective against ground.
::Cluster Bombing - The Al'Kesh reseases a flood of explosives, damaging enemies and structures.
#Ha'Tak - The Ha'Tak is the Goa'uld capital ship, with massive amounts of weapons and shields. Attacks air.
::Orbital Bombardment - The Tel'Tac goes into orbit and reigns down fire on the targetted location.
::Shields - The Ha'Tak can activate its shielding, draining power but blocking attacks.
::Hyperdrive - The Ha'Tak transports itself to another location on the map.
#Tel'Tac - The Tel'Tac is a transport ship who can transport allied units.
::Hyperdrive - The Tel'Tac transports itself to another location on the map.

Staff Cannon - Defensive turret. Attacks ground and air units.

Naquadria is rare subtitude and Goa'Uld don't know of it existence.
Intead of Naquadria they use Naquadah which is same material as stargate....

Same power Naquadah generators are much larger than Naquadria so For example Gliders don't have hyperdrive engines


Oh heh speaking with Stargate here it is

Um, I know the difference, which is exactly why I'm asking. The Goa'uld do know of it's existence, as they were the ones who first mined it on Kelowna. Goa'uld retain the memories of all their ancestors, so they know about its mining, and therefore they'd know about it.

Plus, it's been said that goa'uld capital ships couldn't be powered on pure naquada alone, as things like hyperdrive simply don't work with that little juice.

Oh, and nice stargate. I was thinking, maybe the humans could have an Iris building that they could build over a stargate, killing any units that used it.

ok....i have begin to doubt if i'm correct in my way of unwrapping... since i'm dirrectly texturizing the unit in 3dmax... well here's some pic of what i've done:






enjoy ;)

It's Really nice

alright iigot kinda bored from skinning so i made a sig for u tykkimies :D





i had no idea what u want... so give me ideas ;)

As an old member of gatecraft, perhaps i can help with abilities ideas?
