The Coming of the Darkness

[DukeLeto]

Hmm...what to do after CR2? Hmm...something nice and simplem like...I don't know..uh...of course! A completely original Total Conversion! Nice and simple! ;D

Well, anyways, here it is (or will be)! CR's big brother's big brother! The granddaddy of all mods! And (drumroll, please!) the sides:

---

Interplanetary Defense Concordium (IDC): The galactic police force! These guys think they control the universe, and they might as well. This gigantic government encompasses hundreds, maybe thousands of solar systems. They use a few different high-tech units to get the job done. And lots of them. When your poulation is in the hundreds of trillions, who cares about a litle loss of life? As long as peace and order reign. Or, at least order...

The Centurion Empire: These guys know they don't yet control the universe, but they obviously believe they should! The Centurion EMpire has the infuriating habit of simply marching onto a planet and subjagating the people. If the people don't want to be slaves, they get killed. Ruthlessly simple. They've made enemies out of eberyone they've come across. Why do you think the IDC was formed? ;)

The Republic of Sol: Humans, of course! Power and money drive them. A planet without resources is a useless planet. Their armies are deployed to more resource-rich worlds simply to take them (and their money) over. Screw the locals. Fortunately, Earth is a long way from civilized space, so they haven't met any locals yet. As such, they believe that they are the only sentient race alive. How foolish.

And these races finally collide over the poor planet of Tolaris. Down below, the few locals live in poverty and strife. Little do they know Tolaris is the most resouce-rich planet in the known galaxy. But the races above know. Boy, do they ever. And so the Age of Darkness begins...

How's that sound? I have some unit ideas, and I'll post them a little later. Oh, and spice will be renamed "Xenonite". Harvestors will be Xenonite Extrators, Refineries will be Xenonite Proscessors, etc.

Simple, eh? ;)

[Apollyon]

when youre ready to work on this ill help you, I think. If you want help that is ;).

[DukeLeto]

I might...I like to go it alone. You can learn a lot that way, you know. Think of how much more I learned by doing CR alone. :)

[DukeLeto]

Yep, another overly-ambitious project by DukeLeto that I refuse to cancel. ;)

After CR2...after CR2... ;)

Some vague unit ideas:

Republic of Sol:

-Marine: A basic combat soldier wrmed with a powerful machine gun.

-Shotgun Trooper: A lightly armored infantry unit with a powerful, if close ranged, shotgun.

-Scout Bike: Similar to the old Atreides SandBike

-Combat Quad: Guess. ;)

-Someone will get a sniper, and it WON'T be the Republic of Sol.

If you have more unit ideas, please feel free to post them. :)

Perhaps the Republic could have a unit similar to the Hark Combat Tank?

[Jack Leaf]

Unit named spammer (codenamed Jack Leaf), wich can shut down the enemy's power generators for 30 seconds! ;)

[DukeLeto]

lol ;)

Anyways, some more units:

Republic of Sol:

Infantry

-Rocketeer: Powerful infantry arrmed a Rocket Launcher.

-Demolitionist: Fast, stealthed-when-still unit armed with C4 to demolish buildings in one hit.

Vehicles:

-Combat Tank: Similar to Lion's Claw from CR.

Centurian Empire:

Infantry:

-Legionarre: Basic ground soldier armed with a machine gun.

-Flak Trooper: Legionarres with scatter-missile launchers!

Vehicles:

-Assault Tank: Similar to the old Hark one.

-Siege Cannon: Powerful mobile cannon capable of wreaking havoc from long range. Useless until deployed, though.

-Destructor: $3000 of mechanized doom!

IDC:

-Laser Infantry: Basic soldier armed with a laser gun.

-Plasma Infantry: unit armed a short range sprayer that spews super-heated plasma on it's targets. Portable BBQ!

-Advanced Infantry: Armed with a pistol, can deploy into a stationary, AA-capable laser platform. (Think Kindjal here).

Vehicles:

-Scout tank: Light, hovering tank armed with a laser.

-Battle Mech: Simple 'mech, armed awith a multi-purpose missile launcher

-Assault Mech: More powerful mach with multiple large-bore cannons.

"Subhouse"--Dwarves of Kal'Madon

These dwarves were one of the few races discovered by the Centurians that managed to hold thier own, and the first alien race encountered by the Republic of Sol. They are masterful technicians and great with long range weaponry. Their units aren't designed to hold up in a straight fight.

-Rifleman: Infantry armed with a powerful long-range sniper rifle.

-War Engine: A unit armed with multiple long-range missile launchers. Can attack aricraft.
