Question/Suggestion

Postby yamaeda » Sat 10 Nov, 2018 5:12 pm

I love to watch Indrids casted matches of the elite mod and how it's tried to bring more of the table top to the game. As such, here are a couple of thoughts.

I'd love it if Chaos Terminators were Obliterators instead, or if it was an upgrade option on them. That might break lore, but instead of marines upgrading to Assault Cannon, chaos could upgrade to Obliterators for a good ranged option. It feels less like a copy of marines and more chaos-y. :)

Also, don't warp spiders and spider exarchs have way too much range compared to the table top? Shouldn't they be ½ the range or a bolter? Bolt pistols have shorter range then bolters, no? If not, they should. As it is a computer game and not table top maybe 2/3 would feel better, but it should be shorter.

Also, wouldn't it be fun with Striking Scorpions instead of Wraith guardians (whatever the melee version is called) as a tankier T2 melee? You could have both, one slow and super tanky, and one more mobile and good at wrapping up units in melee yet a lot tankier than banshees, with the risk of getting a crowded army roster.

The Dark Reaper is more charming than the Shuriken platform, but they mostly fill the same role so it's less of an idea.

(Yes, i liked the unit roster in DoW1 better ;))

Thoughts?

This mod doesn't aim to bring DoW2 closer to table top. There have been some new units and some stuff got renamed to a more lore friendly option.

This mod is mostly focused on making the multiplayer more balanced. Ofc there are some additions to roster that weren't needed for balance reasons but mostly it is just balance tuning.

Obliterators and any new units are kinda hard to make as we would need animations and models for that stuff and we don't have anyone to make that stuff right now.

There are no melee Wraithguard in the mod and Shuriken teams and Dark Reapers fill entirely different roles in the unit rosters.

Warp Spiders would be a unit not really worth purchasing if they didn't have a decent range. They are already fragile.
