Butlerian Jihad

[Scrinlord]

I was thinking of making a mod for CNC Generals that turns it into a game based on the book "The Butlerian Jihad" If anyone wants to help or if anyone has good ideas for the mod features or units and stuff, post them here.

I'll rack my brain for some ideas :)

It could only be two sided if you think about it. Agamemnon would have to be the hero unit for the Syncronised units, and Xavier for the League side. The League should have tanks with some kind of EMP, which all Synchronised units would be susuptible to, but it would need a cool down time.

Air units would have to play heavily in such a mod, as they did in the book. Robot ships would have to go real fast, like an aurora, with some kind of shield generator being all that could protect the humans.

That's all I can think of. :)

Ya, to make it into a good game, we would have to take a little bit of creative liberty to add units and stuff.

air power would play heavily, but the different sides would have different advantages. The robots would have really strong/fast ships, but because of their predictability, they would make poor fighters, so the best Sychronized air units would be bombers, while human inpetuiousness makes human pilots perfect for being in a fighter, so Humans would have much better air-air capabilities.

How do you think we could impliment the shield? Or the Gel-Circutry barrier shields for that manner?

If you just use the current EMP you could maybe modify it and give it to tanks/towers.

ya, I know I can do that, but I am trying to figure out how to impliment the shielding tech with the holtzman effeect.
