Emperor EX

[firefly]

Over the course of one of our many running conversations, Yukarifan and I got to brainstorming ways E:BfD could have been done better. The project was quickly dubbed 'Emperor EX', and I am pleased to present the first draft of the concept for peer review.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Wow you've got me wanting to play it now ;D I really like the idea of better subhouse benefits.

Emperor should have made the subhouses have a bigger part. I think that the subhouses like the sardaukar :)

the fremen

and the other subhouses that dont have armor should.

I think the Imperial Sardaukar deserve a tank or a apc or some light armor.

The fremen aswell. They should be able to build ornathopthers because they do have that in the movies and books.

I dont know the sound of Units for the subhouses would have been a really cool feature. I would have like it alot.

The subhouses should have both vechicles,infantry,more buildings and special weapons. :)

I think the Imperial Sardaukar deserve a tank or a apc or some light armor.

In keeping with their nature, I could see the Sardaukar fielding something akin to the battle fortress seen in Yuri's Revenge.

Vehicles aside, I was thinking about making this 'sub-superweapon' available to players who ally with the Sardaukar.

Orbital Drop Shock Troops (aka 'Helldivers'; 'Helljumpers'; etc.)

Like its Tiberian Sun counterpart, it manifests in two waves of reentry pods: the first sows bomblets (total effect roughly equivalent to a single Minotaurus volley); the second, coming a second or two after, brings three line Sardaukar and two officers

Which brings me to a minor proposed change: renaming 'Sardaukar Elite' to 'Sardaukar Officers' (which, if I recall my source material correctly, is what they indeed are).

So is this going to be a TC of E:BFD or different game? That way I know if I need to go buy it ;D This sounds cool, if you need some beta testers *raises hand* let the line start here ;) This sounds awesome, i can't wait

[Muad dib]

I to agree with the sub houses having a bigger part and having more units for then as well. Very good ideas.

[thomas]

sounds sweet, I like that your infantry gain 25% armor if allied with sards, nice.

The subhouses should have both vechicles,infantry,more buildings and special weapons. :)

That odda sum it up. My thoughts exactly. :)

Why dont you just make a mod for generals?

[FireSnake]

Because C&C-G is sucky-sucky on my PC till I get my new ATI RADEON and additional 256 MB DDR RAM. ;)

Translation - I can run C&C-G with minimum graphics and textures only. ::)

the Sub-Houses need some tweaking, but not much

all Sards should have self-heal. since they don't, they are mostly-useless vs. any good Atreides player, and in many other situations. they'd have a much higher overall usefulness rating if they had self-healing and the game would in no way be the least bit unbalanced if they did

[thomas]

make sards rate of fire super fasttoo then its relaistic, come on they have a big ass chain gun ;D

[lowzeewee]

LOL.That would make them double the cost then,and double firerate :)

[Apollyon]

LOL.That would make them double the cost then,and double firerate :)

Not if they did less damage but fired constantly... I tried it once but the XBF gets irritated...
