Economic Empire Campaign

After posting about EES (Economic Empire Saga), silth PMed me asking if I wished to make a Campaign with the same concept. Essentially it features:

• Several Custom Resources
• A custom buildign system where you build on "plots"
• Constant troop spawning
• Varried missions
• etc

This thread was made so silth could post some of his ideas, publicly and get feedback before we start. When we start this will be the official release thread for screenshots, demos, and releases, etc.

looks promising. like the idea of many reasources but might be a little hard.are you going to do something like have the basics on the map like food, wood, gold, and stone.but than use a spical process to get it. Ex: you get stone and bring it to a spical building and it turns it into concret or something like that. or the Seq take a patch of "food" and turn it into fungus that then is harvestable.

just make a table that can be hidden and add all the different items for the harves. BTW will you have different units to collect gather?

We may gather that way. Im thinking of having building built on resource plots that automatically gather resources.

slith, Could you make a sketch of the first level- since your drawing skills are about 400x's mine? Than we could get some terrian down...

Im not sure how much I like this, but its decient for a alpha terrian job.

[edit] Look Below

Sorry, I dont want to make the map available from now until its done, for I have begun triggering. Ill post screenshots when im done the multiboard.

Tenative modifications to human resources:

• Wood (building & some vehicles & weapons)
• Metal [iron, stell, bronze depending upon age] (few buildings & some vehicles & weapons & vehicles)
• Stone (buildings & defence)
• Coal (vehicles & some units & few buildings)
• Cereals (units)
• Trintium

this looks interesting.

the sides that look the best to me are the
seq and vans.
but the ethens also look good.

personnaly i prefer the ressource list i have done, exept for cereals.
Here are my reasons:
- the stone is used by the seq and i don't want any similar ressource
- we need different ressource for the weapon of every age (bronze, then iron, then coal and finally tritium)
- and we need gold like to make some basic exchange ressource.

For the map great job (i never think of using the map i show you!)...
here are some suggestions to update the one you have made:
- make more fish in the sea
- make the trees smaller (for a map like this, the units must be small).
- the islands must be more like corail reef

Here is some concept for van's units:


Prehistoric:
- Blade Warrior: the mastery of the blade was always an art of respect in the van's society. But when the war against the ases(undeads) begun, it become necessary to use brutal force to defend himself.
- Sherikan thrower: like the blade, it was mainly a sport, but the war calls for another use this weapon.
- Recaller: using spell craft to remember some of the spells they learned in their previous life, those vans have become fast masters in their art, using magi to help their brethren or to fight their enemies.
Spell: light [reveal surround area], Spark [attack], Strength [give more HP]
Haste [add speed to unit]

Classic:
- Djo Warriors: the atrocity of the war is surely what brings those warriors to become nearly no more than war machines, ready to fight any enemies of the council. With the time they learn to attack 4 enemies at the same time.
- Einheriar: the shurikan has become far more efficient with jade using. Now they can go through enemies, killing groups of them in one shot.
- Niddhog Raider: the niddhog, some dragon's van, normally live away from the other vans but after they have been saved, they accept vans to ride them in battle.
- Wizard: Learning magic has become essential to the vans to survive, and some have become master in this art, using crystals to concentrate their power.
Spell: Scare [stop unit to fight for 4 seconds], lightning [attack], Slow [slow enemy], stinking cloud [reduce damage of unit in the area]

Modern:
- Ninja: slowly the warriors have become more ghosty and more material at the same time. They are now furtive and lots of human's troops died before knowing who attack them.
- Lightning caller: by using electrically charged crystals and mind capacity, those recruits have gained an incredible firepower and there is no one who can stand against them.
- Energy Cannon: by combining powerful energy generators and crystals science, the vans wizards have learn to build those canons. Their firepower is incredible and nearly nothing can stand against them.
- Flying Niddhog raider: With some magical process, the vans give the niddhog the ability to ignore gravity.
- Meta-physicist: by combining magic and science, those incredible searchers have learned unimaginable power.
Spell: Fear [area scare], Ionic Shot [attack], magic resist [immunity to a unit], sleeping cloud [sleep in area]

Space Age:
- Wraith: no more than energy life form now, those elite warriors can move faster than light. They can even evade enemy fire and their ionic blades can cut through any steel.
- Anti-mater Marksman: the upgrade of the crystal technology arrives with new anti-mater discovering, creating a new generation of soldier.
- Anti-mater Canon: a simple energy canon upgraded with the anti-mater technology. A weapon of annihilation!
- Aezir Class Transport: some fast transport able to move entire army to another area.
- Vedrfolnir Class Cruiser: some space cruiser with anti-mater cannons and muon torpedoes.
- Niddhog Wraith: like the normal vans the niddhogs have become ghosty with time.
- Arch-Physicist: The van's technology has been greatly improved by the combination of some very advanced spells and of the anti-mater technology.
Spell: Simulacrum [revive unit], Thunder [area attack], dispel magic [area dispel], Wall of Force [protect a unit]

Units:

Prehistoric:

Sorry, I dont want to make the map available from now until its done, for I have begun triggering. Ill post screenshots when im done the multiboard.

We need some mapers (Legolas is a good one but he needs to spare times for triggers making), an AI modifier (will be a very complicated AI so no newbies) and a modeller for some of the units.

Is there anyone interested in this mod who want to help us?
