Gameplay Discussion: Battles

[Andreas]

So, I noticed that the KOD Thread was becoming more and more infected by talk about the gameplay in the mod, and less about kod and things related to that so I open these two topics, one about the Campaign and one about the Battles, Here you can ask questions, discuss your views of what you want and so on. We will try to answer your questions as much as we can. Have fun:)

What happens if Rand dies on the battlefield? (Assuming he can be used like a regular general) Does his faction break apart, or is it autamatic victory for the shadow?

[Myrddraal]

We haven't decided on this as such. We'll probably end up with Rand faction being taken over by someone else. Remember in our version, the last battle will take place between armies of trollocs and men rather than a one on one battle between Rand and the DO.

[beaverprophet]

And if it is taken over, will they still have control of the Aiel?
After all, they follow Rand because he is the Car'a'Carn, which the new leader obviously won't be.

[Andreas]

I don't wanna be the one to spoil the fun, but this is more of a campaign map thing... I intended this for the real time part of the game:) Anyway, I think that is more a matter of how united the chiefs are, and they seem pretty tight right now, so I guess they will remain. And it would be... difficult to prevent recruiting of aiel troops after the death of a faction leader.

If this is meant to ba a campain then if al thor dies, shouldn't the campain meant to be over?

We'll have to pretend that the Aiel and Rand can make some sort of agreement about the Aiel not go away if Rand dies but to follow his sucsessor. It could work since Rand bends the webb around him to make the Aiel agree to a such thing.

[Andreas]

No not really... Someone will likely step in try to take control of his armies, either for the power or because of love to the light. There has been talk about making it much harder for those persons keeping the army together, but there is nothing decided.

[DragonR.]

Maybe Logain?

[4th Dimension]

Maby as control over Asha'man, but he doesn't have enough influence among Aiel.

Што не стави уобичајени ник.

[Andreas]

I would say that either Mat or Perrin would take over...

[Glaucus]

I remember reading somewhere in one of these threads that they will slow down movement and kill speeds, to make it more realistic.

[Myrddraal]

Yeah I will, but Glaucus a lot of the things I had in mind are impossible without a team. Remember, atm I'm just hoping to release the unit's I've done as a custom battle pack. We'll see if anything else is possible.

I'm also working on NTW2 atm to give you an idea of my time commitments

[Glaucus]

Of course, we all understand that modders have lives too (yes they are people who need sleep and attention just like you!), and anything you can release is much appreciated.

What! you mean to say the modders in this community are allowed to sleep this is outragous next you will let them go outside! something must be done think about how much more content could be released if there where guards standing over them with whips.

[Dol Guldur]

Not so much guards with whips as guys with msn and PMs and incessant posts - all of which effort and time might have been more constructively used to learn how to mod some aspect of the engine and contribute to the Mod so that it could be released earlier...

rant. rave. rant. ;)
