Dune Wars (Inspired by Dune)

Dune Wars

IMPORTANT: I was inspired by dune to make a warcraft III map, so most things of Dune (Sandwurms, Armor, Spice etc.) are in it.

Lore
In a far future, the human race has conquerd many planents and is spread all over the galaxy in a powerfull imperium. The might of the Imperium is enstablished using a drug called Spice. With this Spice, humans are able to take Spychic powers. These powers are used to guide ships through the galaxy. The Spice is unable to be factured and must be delved. However, delving spice is dangerous, becaus it is made by Sandwurms who don't like anyone in their terretory.

Gameplay
You and your opponent(s) are smugglers who want to make money, money and more money. You need to defeat all the other smugglers to wipe out the concurrence.


Resources


In the game, you can gather two resources.

Money
Money is your basic resource, used to buy units and build structures. Money is generated when you sell Spice you harvested. Spice is harvested with miners who mine it at places it pop ups. They send it to Mobile Refinadries, who break it in smaller parts. These smaller parts can be sold to get money. Whowever, the more players in the field, the more Spice is, so the less money you will get for each spice gathered.

Power
Power is generated by Reactors. Your power resource is required to build more advanced structures and units. For basic buildings/units, power isn't required.

Supply
Your unit cap. No need to explain this futher......


Tech Trees
Because there is only one faction playable (The Smugglers) I have created some tech trees. There are three trees with each three Branches you can specialize in. You can specialize only in one Branche for each tech tree, so chooce wisly.

Tech Trees
Technology


Technology will increase the gears of your troops, as well to create new units.
Computing
Computing will increase your will for vechiles, as well allows you to create robots. The computing branche will also increase your armor.

Bio-Engeneering
Bio-engeneering will increase your normal troops bionics and allows you to train various tamed beasts.

Nanotech
Nanotechnology will decrease the size of your vechicles, meaning you can train more of them. Also allows this to create small viruses and bombs.


Economy


The economy techtree will increase your resource amount.
Trading
Trading will increase your money gather rate, as well allows the trade ability.

Pillage
Pillage will increase your abilities to steal money, as well allows the black market.

Reactors
Reactors will increase your power income, as well make reactors explode upon dead


Wargear


Wargear allows your troops to engrave new weapons.

Nuclear
Nuclear wargear is powerful, but expensive. Nuclear weapons can also hit your own units. You can also upgrade your reactors.

Laser
Lasers are also powerful and expencive, but less destructive.

Old Wargear
Old wargear will allow you to use cheap rockets and blades. These arent effective agains armor, but will destroy unamored troops.


Other points
- Armor
Armor is like the protoss armor, it will be used to survive powerful weapons. Lasers, however, will melt armor directly, damiging the unit. Wurms are attracted to armor and will kill your troops.

- Wurms
Wurms are the infamous creators of Spice, and are HUGE. They will pop up when you are gathering Spice and will kill your troops. They will only arrive in open desert. Armor will distract them.

- Sandstorms
Big sandstorms will crush your troops without armor. As Sandwurms, they will only appear in the desert.


Anyway, any support is welcome, as well critic, as well new ideas.

Captain Griffen
- Learn to spell.
- Come up with an origional IP, or actually utilise the IP properly. Stop defiling Frank Herbat's work of genius with your degenerate corruption.

Freman, weapons, shields (and their effect on worms), drummer sand (right name?), lasguns, etc.

Do not include nuclear weapons. Anyone using atomic weaponry would be hunted down and annihilated very, very rapidly.
