Using the AI, we could make a Muliplayer system game like: Islnad of Lost Hope... as it is, the enemy would be fighting like a *&^^$ and you would have to get into the Bunkr or a safe place... mind you the enemy is far more harder to kill... just my idea... but we could also envolve the Nids... if possible... im just throwing out ideas here...

i reckon we should either put nids in a dlc or another game

In a later stage, once we have the game in a playable stage, i was thinking of adding a second campaign, where nids land on Khoronus. this resides entirely, on how far we can bring this though.

Well it seems that you want to make character Classes and maybe ranking system right? Well i suggest forget class system and let players choose their own weapons and armor. Also only high rank players should use a dreadnought or a terminator armor. Involving AI in multiplayer game isnt a good idea,maybe we should make it so that when you capture something for example,you'll get ability points,and with those points you can call for support. Main game mode should be Territory Control or something like that in my opinion.

The Character Creation was also mentioned a while back. I'd recommend a sort of class builder as in COD but with the interface of the DOW army builder, so you can change your own colours and such, and then another interface like in DOW II for the player type and weaponry - Which can be acheived and upgraded through successful games, special acheivments and other actions. maybe a special skin for completing the campaign or such.

AI remains a necessity on the side. Mainly the AI's will only be used in specific game modes or as fillers until the server is full.
The AI Support i wrote for example, could be used in a sort of Hero mode. Remember Dynasty warriors? the AI fight it off, whilst you slaughter your way through the field? maybe something like that, with only playable HQ Units (Marines will play units equivalent to Sgt. O'Neil whilst Chaos resides to Sethiroths Generals). Another Idea would be and sort of Assault from UT, where both Chaos and Marines are given specific objectives to execute (Bombing bases or artillery, Eliminating Generals/Daemons, Escort, Artefact recovery etc...) . But remember, these are only ideas, and as long as we dont have a base to work on, will remain ideas. so lets focus on getting a playable alpha out!

Chaos heres the info of my Grey Knights, just the commander, inquisitor and the gk squad leaders, i'll get sorted on the fluff of them tommorrow.

Grey Knights, Strike Force Gladius:
Brother-Captain Gaius Lucius, Terminator squad
Brother-Justicar Barus Leynos
Brother-Justicar Leycoft Ulisus
Brother-Justicar Tycrus Rementor
Brother-Justicar Reletius Epathius
Brother-Justicar Qurius Kyron

Inquisitor:
Inquisitor Asfedor Tremer, attached to Strike Force Gladius.

that gives me an idea of how to bring them in;
Inquisitor Gundaria of the Ambassador proves to be another corrupt Inquisitor, and brings down the Ambassadors Orbital cannons down on Khoronus.
Inquisitor Tremer, who had been informed on the situation shortly before the 342nd legion had decended, came into Khoronus space and witnessed Gundaria's betrayal.
With that, Strike force Gladius go planetside and board the Leviathan (Custom designed Daemonic Command Ship, Tuned for Atmospheric and orbital Assaults) to take down Gundaria and Sethiroth to end the Chaos assault.
The final assault will probably take up two missions, maybe a short intro mission where the Grey Knights Storm the Leviathan, but that could always be made into a cutscene.

i dont know if you could work this as well but someone on a forum (long story) had that char and gave me his bio but then i turns out that he is a daemon prince of tzeench disgiused as an iquisitor

like i said i dont know if you could work this as my experties is just lore and fluff, and this has happened before in the inquisition so it is lore and fluff friendly

That would fit perfectly, since i haven't built a Daemon prince in yet but was planning on doing it. Then as soon as Sethiroth is slayed, Gundaria steps out and reveals his true form!

Hey guys iv got an idea about that,well i still havent read you're whole story chaos,but before we bring in the grey knights,we should kill ramus and his team,like falling as a hero on the battlefield is an honour and a glory for a true space marine,thats what makes COD games very epic we cant just leave him like that right? and not even let him finish his mission,so a death would be a good idea for him.

virus bombed... ... cookies...

you want to bomb the planet with virus cookies, some would consider that heresy
should we end the game with a masive exterminatus as the GK captain (Gaius Lucius) thinks that the planet is too tainted and corrupted to repopulate

could do, would allow us more freedom if we decide to do a second campaign...
+ it would look awesome! ^^

even then, could you play as chaos daemons... maybe in the mulitplayer...

i like virus bombing how about not killing the guy you play as

I think it should be even better idea not to kill him,and end first game so that people get confused,like in COD MW first,when price "dies" but in second game he returns,same as MacTavish. It'll give us freedom to show-off ramus in,maybe a second game

that would be epic, like one last mission where ramus and o'neil board in the last second a thunderhawk then everything goes white and you only see the exterminatus, with the feeling "Did they make it?" stuck in you! then we eventualy bring out the second campaign and BAM Ramus is back in action ^^

yes a halo 3 ending if you know what i mean

nice

so pretty much blow the flying f### out of the planet + mysterious ending = fans and possible a run for indie of da year =

Were it so easy...

indeed....

:]

i still thin about that or maybe a warp storm drags him and leaves him in a Chaos World... then we can take it up from there...

no we need the mysterious mystery of ulimate doooooooooooooom
