Bay 12 Games Forum

Yes, there's already a topic, but it's over a year old and has only one page, so I'm making a new one.

Allegiance is, in essence, an RTS, with one major difference: most of the units are players. As a commander, you play the RTS role, which has very intuitive graphics.

As a pilot, however, it's a whole different story. Allegiance is an RTS as the commander, but there is only one commander per team--to put this into perspective, the max player count is usually 100. The other 98 are filled by players, who can be commanded as units through a simple and very well-done command system. Here's a good tutorial:

Other info can be found on the wiki, much like Dwarf Fortress.

Next update will not include any non-human cities. (in vanilla)

Corrupts, a race of burning men with metal bones and muscles.  As well as their opposites, pures, which have skin made of ice and body temperatures of negative five quadrillion degrees.

I'm not so sure if DF handles negative temperatures ;>_>

Also, -5,000,000,000,000,000 degrees urist is, like, 5,000,000,000,009,400 degrees below absolute zero <_<

RESEARCH DWARFS?!
Nobody wants a goddamn techtree here in this game man!

Then why is LFR so popular?

By that, I mean that, rather than 5 or 6 titaniums floating around, we could have just 1 that all could use freely. For example, someone says "I need titanium in my mod"; they could just grab the titanium made by the community and use that.

And this brings me to my main point: I have already modded in a bunch of real-life metals.

In that file is, well, a lot. What I want is a kind of wiki system: people look through that list and add things to improve realism. I've already thought about plenty; for example, the fact that titanium is weaker than iron slightly bothers me (not as much as it may others, though, since titanium is usually alloyed). I just want people to look through here and say what's good and bad. Note that the metals are, for the most part, near-perfectly realistic with their stats, at least the ones used for armor and weaponry.

Planned.

Hmmm. Well, that's unfortunate. Must be something hard-coded into cities to assume Humans.

Can't be--my mod has creatures that are slightly bigger than humans as adults--big enough for human-sized armor to be small. They don't sell small armor to themselves, though.
