Synergy between Minor Factions
« on: June 15, 2018, 12:54:29 pm »
Hey all! This forum has been quiet as the pivot has been coming along so I thought I would draw attention to the wiki since it's been regularly updated with all sorts of new features. Huge shoutout to Badger for adding 3 more minor factions!!! Wow!!
https://wiki.arcengames.com/index.php?title=AI_War_2:_The_Pivot#Version_0.743_Music_Blooms

So in this spirit, I wanted to propose something that I hope can feasibly make the minor factions have dynamic interactions with each other. Here's a couple ideas I had but I'm sure there is tons that could be done in this vein

Synergy of Minor Factions:

To make games more dynamic by allowing certain minor factions have unique interactions.


Marauders/Astro Trains:

Marauders produce special “Bandit” units to conduct train robberies. They are melee range and will ignore everything else if a train is present. They siphon metal from trains in order to generate marauder threat/build expansions. The trains are reduced in metal thus making them to make more trips to complete depot projects.

Nanocaust/Macrophange:

Interactions between certain specialized units of both factions can result in a “hybrid” unit, switching allegiance to the stronger of the two. (So there would be two different hybrids, one a nanocaust version the other a macrophange unit). Hybrids are rarely formed but are super powerful—instead of dying they split into two smaller versions.

(Think of the Hybrid as an organic lifeform augmented with nanomachines)

If you have to ask, you don't know us very well.  ;D

Wasn't consciously thinking of the Borg but yes, yes I do
