Not a playable faction, those are the units that oyu cna recruit when you capture and build a mercenary building, its is basically composed by hellonite units:
- Speeder: High-speed recon and anti-infantry, weak vehicle. (Like SW speeder bike but car version) Search and destroy (Ability). Jetpack jump to designed location (ability)
- Walker: Weak, but very versatile unit and high firepower. (Like AT-ST from SW)
- Valkyrie: A VTOL Jet. Mixture of the apache and the dervish. Ability to change between jet and gunship. can deploy a squad of marines (Ability). (Like star wars ATAT and LAAT)
- Experimental superwalker: One of the most powerfull units of the mod. Can change between walker and gunship mode (Ability). Can produce Aircraft drones (Ability).
*We could do something similar for spaceships*
Pretty much final, except for the A12, let me explain:
A12 main weapon is a gau8 railgun powerful enough to take down tanks and other aircraft. But it can change to bombs, so it becomes only a bomber, not fighter.
Also the hierarchy support could be radioactive bombing and the abilito to spawn units from the superwalkers.
I had thought the A12 had missiles, which would decimate air. But if it has bombs instead, those don't do much in the way of anti-air.
thats it, but trust me, the main weapon causes much damage to everything, that thing destroys tanks and has been improved to damage superwalkers, but when it comes to killl big targets on the ground better use bombs.
And the A12 its an LGB so as you can see in the model it noly has bombs, not missiles.
S-tiger.photovillage.org
I think that if the a12 was always antiair would be overpowered. so changing between gun and bombs is a good way to use it in a strategic way.
As i told you before is like the banshee form the mod halo campaign commander.
another thing to consider are prices:
Novus infantry cheapest price would be 150 , human infantry 250 and hierarchy ifantry 325. (Thats only referencial, actual price can be whatever yo want, but notice diferences, also novus reinforcements production is faster, so 3 ohm robots = 2 marines squad = 1 grunts or lost ones)
So novus reaper 900 / variant 750, human A12 1500 / apache 1200 , hierarchy saucer 1300.
novus tank 650 (Its very weak compared to the other 2) , human tank 900, hierarchy tank 1100 (Not sure if the hierarchy or the human tank which is stronger? hierarchy are specialized in wlakers)
etc...
Added the hellonite. No ideas neither for heroes nor support.
They won't need these since they're won't be playable. (Well, they may need one hero to act as their leader in campaign, but we'll take care of that later)
Ok, but it would be cool if you could ''produce'' hellonite units when you capture some building that can produce mercenaries, you know. For example in that 1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1 map, we said that the center could have important structures, one could be that one, the other could be for earning ore resources etc...
Well, the player wouldn't have Hellonite bombing runs and such, but I do like the idea of the player being able to recruit Hellonite units. I think this should be limited though to a few basic units (maybe about four).
Yes, we would select the coolest ones. For example the walker, the artillery rocket, the valkyrie and the walker.
