Two new missions!

Interesting idea Pete. Maybe an option to select it when creating a game from the start for colony based missions. Not sure how much work it would take but an intriguing suggestion.

Posted by xeno 12 days ago

Actually, although I had my tongue in my cheek with my first comment above, having a mission which combines a lot of factors (like eggs next to exploding computers as suggested by Pete) sounds pretty fun.

Posted by SteveSmith 12 days ago

How about Underground Moonbase Meltdown Assassin Assault, where you have to destroy the computers in the moonbase, assassinate the other player and then collect their eggs? :):) Seriously though, I like the sound of the "eggs spread around the map" mission, but I'll have a look at creating both of those.

Mission 3 Egg meltdown. Got to get eggs but also exploding CPU's in the mix.

Posted by petermock 13 days ago

Two new missions!

I reckon you could get 2 missions at least put of Xeno's egg collector idea. First Xeno's central egg location concentration. Eggcellant idea. Another arrangement could be eggs dotted about the map but in single or very small amounts forcing players to make directional choices and having to collect more than 3.

It's odd, as I'm a master at infiltration tactics in the underground games. Blowing my own trumpet but I think that is well established. ;) Yet in egg hunt, I for some reason don't, and I'm usually on the receiving end. Seem to rush in and take them, and then some sneaky git comes and steals them. Be interesting, for me at least, if I can in do it in an underground mission.

The new underground missions are really good, revitalised my interest in the game. Pushing it, but how about an egg hunt version. Eggs in the centre, first to get three back to their starting base wins.

Game 51470: SteveSmith, Cpt Fishmonger, xeno, Socrates in 'Underground Meltdown'

If you are running out of RP's, then yes. I think this is because players couldn't see the point of using their last RP's to create guns if they had no clones to shoot them. :)

Posted by SteveSmith 16 days ago

Game 51470: SteveSmith, Cpt Fishmonger, xeno, Socrates in 'Underground Meltdown'

Game 51470: SteveSmith, Cpt Fishmonger, xeno, Socrates in 'Underground Meltdown'

If you have a look at the game log, it will tell you how many RPs you had and what it created. Clones get created first. Or it might be a dead mouse stuck in the mechanism.

@Petermock, When I saw your men there I knew I had to plan carefully to minimize casualty and damage (thanks to Rabid and Xeno I'm getting used to sneak grenadeattacks). I fully expected both units to explode when I killed them, and also thankfully I had enough APs to carry the Ap100 away, otherwise it would have set off a chain reaction.

Posted by xeno 33 days ago

Two new missions!

I'll write more detailed instructions once the missions are "bedded down", but it's as follows: Underground Meltdown - This is pretty much a standard Underground Colonization but with the exploding computers from Meltdown. These don't affect VPs, but will explode a random number of turns after being destroyed. Underground CTF: This again is pretty much a standard Underground Colonization, but the winner is the player who gets the flag to the opposite side of the map. Let me know if there's any other details need clarifying.

Posted by SteveSmith 33 days ago

Two new missions!

Could someone explain the missions here. They seem on the surface straight forward but if someone could clarify them please. The term: "And avoid exploding computers" is somewhat ambiguous. I think I know what was meant by this but just need clarification before I equip/deploy.

Posted by xeno 33 days ago

Two new missions!

And it should shorten the games but also inject a sense of mission purpose.

Posted by petermock 33 days ago

Two new missions!

Thanks Steve, good Xmas presents. Steve I'm with you on keeping the CPU's as exploding components only. But if in practice we need to affect the VP score, I'm not against that. We might have to have the VP idea implemented if people start blowing their own CPU's up for some kind of advantage. Hard to predict how the games will play. Testing only way. FLAG idea I'm equally excited about trying out.

Posted by petermock 33 days ago

Two new missions!

Oh tasty! It should in theory make the games much shorter. I'm looking forward to the inevitable chaos...

Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 34 days ago

Two new missions!

Thanks. :) In the Meltdown mission, the computers don't affect victory points (although I may change this). Their only function is to explode when shot, thus creating more chaos. I thought that might be enough to make the mission new and interesting.

You, sir, are a legend! With Underground Meltdown do we just need to protect the computers nearest to our starting position?

Two new missions!

It must be Christmas - Stellar Forces ha two new missions! "Underground Meltdown" and "Underground Capture the Flag", suggested by Petermock and Cpt Fishmonger respectively. Both are based on the Colonization-style missions, but the Meltdown mission has the exploding computers as seen in the original Meltdown missions, and the CTF is obviously the first player to get the flag to the opposite side of the map.

Posted by SteveSmith 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I think both got mileage. FLAG might be better on the small map a quicker exciting game, Meltdown version the big map. Reactors need the space and scale to work. Flag Alert & Underground Doomsday or Underground Apocalypse?

Posted by petermock 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I particularly like the Meltdown version, with having reactors all around the map. Would the Flag version be too similar to the existing CTF and/or Egg Collector missions? Of course, the big question is what to call the mission? :)

Posted by SteveSmith 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I like the FLAG idea Captain. Both options would be cool. Steve would it be very difficult to adapt Underground Colony in this way?

Posted by petermock 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

That could be fun. Or a capture the flag element, with one flag located in the centre of the map. Cue mass rumble as everyone converges on the same spot.

Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I'm thinking, maybe say meltdown reactors dotted about the map. You have to defend your own ones while trying for your opponents. Same deal as mission meltdown, once shot the random timer sets off with large blast areas. Each side could have 3 reactors within their quadrant area to defend. I don't know how difficult it would be to incorporate but would definitely fun.

Posted by petermock 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

Posted by petermock 34 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

It's a good point that the definition of "lost cause" if very subjective. Also, if a player does want out, it's easy enough for them to either commit suicide or just find an enemy to kill them. Maybe no change is required after all.

Posted by SteveSmith 35 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I tend to take the attitude that no position is a total lost cause. I quite like things as they are. Changing the victory conditions is problematic if the winning side is also very low on resources. It?s only really a forgone conclusion when the difference between the opposing sides is massive, like if one side has no engineers and few RPs but the other side has 16 units, engineers and loads of RPs.

Posted by RABID 39 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

Usually single game goes down fairly swiftly. Xeno got me pretty quickly recently. Also even if you're on the losing side it can be fun. If the ground is open by grenade damage and Rabid is my opponent it turns into a giant snipers paradise game. And there's still a chance to turn the tables. If you change the victory conditions then it wipes that out. Also I feel how you lose is up to the player not to a piece of software design. Anyone stuck on the losing side that hates the situation can simply concede the game. That option is available right now. The 2 player game on the other hand gets messy and very drawn out. Makes sense to change victory conditions there because the option to concede means letting your team mate down. Said team mate might not feel the same way.

Posted by petermock 41 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

Thanks. Just curious why not the single-player games though, as in my experience they can all drag once one player becomes untouchable? (Just in case I'm missing some aspect).

Posted by SteveSmith 41 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

I think the single player games are ok as they are. The Co op ones I've had some terribly draggy games. Steve if you want to try changing victory conditions on Cooperative missions, gets my vote.

Posted by petermock 41 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

Posted by Cpt Fishmonger 45 days ago

Game 51411: SteveSmith, henoh, petermock, Cpt Fishmonger in 'Underground Colony Co-Op [Large map] (beta)'

Maybe a player should be eliminated if they've lost all their engineers, and have less than (say) 10 RPs?

Good game, well played all. I've been thinking about modifying the Colony missions victory conditions, so they don't end up one-sided for the last stretch, with one (or two) sides just having to take turns but knowing it's a lost cause. God knows I've been there!

Posted by SteveSmith 61 days ago

Deleting a player

When a player is deleted from a game before it has started because they have not equipped or deployed their units I think it should not start until another player has taken their place. I agree that they should be deleted/cancelled if they don't do so after 5 days but it then can make the game uneven. Of course once it has started then you can't do much about it, but at the start it should open up to a new player.

Game 51362: Socrates, xeno, petermock, Lashred in 'Egg Collector'

Stealing my eggs, that was pure genius and very funny. I think I stole 2 eggs from Xeno and found one in a corridor. I think this mission has got creative tactical potential, you can leave the eggs and hunt other folk or try just getting eggs or a combination of both strategies. Also you can go full offensive or opt for defending your corner. Blowing holes in the outside walls literally opens up another attack route. You also can track your opponents when they're carrying their eggs. Makes you nervous when it's your last man and he has no weapons.

I've just changed it to 'first to eliminate 5 opponents' as suggested, mainly cos its easier and sounds like it might work. Now you don't have to kill every single one, so if your opponent does choose to hide, they've got to hide at least 4 units.
