<div class="IPBDescription">discuss the mod and share ideas</div>hey guys,
I thought it's time to think about a lightweight fun mod and want to share my ideas with you. I will start to code in about 2 weeks I think, but I'm afraid maybe my own ideas are not hilarious enough and maybe you could come up with some improvements.
so the basic concept:
2 teams of gorges fighting in a team deathmatch style against each other. That sounds maybe boring, but here is the clue: Gorges, as smart as they are, found out a way how to use some of the marines weapons and how to buy them from the armory. They discovered, that the best way to carry a weapon, is to attach it to their head. Instead of tech points you have armory locations. I'm not sure if armories should be constructured / captured or whatever, but at least one rule should apply:
the more armories you have, the bigger weapons you get. so if you reach the maximum number of armories (4?) you will be able to attach a giant double barreled gun to your head, dealing extra structure damage.
The gorges will be able to build crags / shades and hydras, and their passive abilites can be triggered with +use. what those abilities are in detail is not fixed, but I might use the one from my mod.
about the weapons: in slot 1 primary attack you have your main weapon bought from an armory (if no weapon is attached you have spit), slot 1 alt attack is heal spray. slot 2 is the drop structure ability. left click drop structure, right click cycle.
this are the basics for now, I think it could be quite funny to see all those gorges with guns running around and trying to kill each other :)
I almost forgot to mention: Victory condition is to have all armory points captured.

that's a cool idea :D
I think that gorges should have like three classes (not trying to be cod or tf2 here). one that builds stuff, one that fights, and a regular gorge. The builder one would be able to gain resources from other member's kills and they could build chambers that upgrade stats and weapon damage as well as stuff like crag, whip, and shade. The fighter gorge could be the one with the guns or some other form of fighting and the regular gorge would be the only one with heal spray. he would still be able to put up hydras and have bile bomb. The fighter would not have heal spray or hydras but possible bile bomb. he could also have some kind of battle cry or something else unique. The builder would have spit of course but he would also have a bit for self defense.
+1 for walk walking btw.
just my thoughts, you may or may not like them.
Or maybe as a gorge you could evolve into a marine (with no weapon, or with just the axe), and then you could ride on top of another gorge, take the weapon from its head, and fire it. That could get incredibly fun. GORGE JOUSTING! RAAAAGH!
This. =)
