Just like Kane's Vision, this mod aims to perfect the gameplay experience of Kane's Wrath. With countless new faction unique upgrades and units, this is a comprehensive overhaul of this already great game. Every change that was introduced in this mod was with quality gameplay in mind and do justice to the lore of the factions. Furthermoe, One Vision is keen on maintaining the game's high visual level and improve upon it wherever possible.
Version 0.92 is almost ready. It focuses mostly on bugfixes and balance improvements.
To make Traveler-59 elite infantry more interesting, they have the new "Psychoactive Fields" upgrade. This unlocks special abilities for Mindphasers and Agonizers.
Mindphasers can create minature "Temporal Distortions" which slows down enemies in the area. Agonizers gain the "EMP Pulsar" ability, which allows them to shut down vehicles for several seconds from afar.
I don't get it. What part of it is memetic?
Unless... Scrin have harnessed the power of Meme Magic!
It's just the name for an upgrade. Admittedly, I didn't think of the name "Meme", the idea for the name came from the word "Memetic Hazard" (part of the SCP Foundation lore).
It just unlocks new abilities for Agonizers and Mindphasers. The temporal wormholes that you see in the picture are created by Mindphasers.
Yes, but Memetic Hazard means it alters the subject's mind or perception, directly at the brain, like hypnosis.
The upgrade could be memetic in that it's replicating abilities and technologies humans use against eachother, or attempting to apply similar effects, and they are otherwise things that the scrin might not have thought to develop on their own.
That makes sense for the EMP, as the scrin seem to be using bio-mechanoids, and that mode of attack might otherwise seem foreign to them.
I'd suggest changing the description and lore on that temporal distortion ability though, so it more closely matches something the other factions can do/have done. Maybe they took a page from the TW2 era web launchers, but didn't quite nail the execution?
Advanced Memetic weaponry that can alter the perception of the enemy, is very much like the Scrin, specially the Traveller sect.
It could easily be said that Mindphasers induce Sedating Thoughts into the mind of the enemy, that decreases their reaction time; or that Agonizers can paralize the primitive Machine Brain (onboard electronics) of the vehicle, by constantly pulsing contradictory signals at it.
For a second that 'machine brain' description got me thinking "What if the support power endowed enemy vehicles with consciousness while simultaneously giving them crippling anxiety..."
Brutal.
