As a fan of WH40k universe I was interested in this mod and finally got some time to take a look. I played for about a hour and was surprised by the quality of this mod. Srsly, I never expected such a good sprites. But there some thoughts/complaints:
1) weapon mechanics still feels like an original game (X-Com, I mean). Bolters = Rifles, Lasguns = Lasers. WAT. See, lasguns in Wh40k are mass-produced cheap guardsmen weapons and bolters are the sort of BFG compaired to modern ballistic weapons. But here bolters are just a slightly buffed rifles. Oh, and Craft Bolter is still the same useless Craft Cannon from UFO. Both my starting interceptor craft has been destroyed by the same enemy craft despite the second interceptor was armed with crack missiles.
2) I guess shotgun should be renamed to stubber (since most shotgun-like weapons in WH40k are falling to this category).
3) FEMALE SPACE MARINES?! HELL NO! (but anyway this may be leftover from the original game, so I'm sorry for this complaint)
Anyway I'm still amazed by your work. Perhaps all my complaints are coming from the fact that I was trying to play this mod just like vanilla.
P.S.: found a typo
STR_STINGRAY_LAUNCHER: Krak Missile Launcher
1) bolter is the have much more power in the game than lasguns stats to prove:
damageAlter: #DA BOLTER normal ammo
ToArmorPre: 0.1
ToHealth: 1.0
power: 60
damageAlter: #DA BOLTER mastercrafted ammo
ToArmorPre: 0.1
ToHealth: 1.0
explosionSpeed: 5
power: 80
power: 70 lasgun ammo
damageAlter: #DA LAS
ToArmorPre: 0.5
ToHealth: 0.9
damageModifier: #CHAOS ARMOR
- 1.0 #none
- 1.0 #AP
- 0.8 #FLAMES
- 1.0 #HE
- 0.8 #LASCANON
- 1.1 #PLASMA
- 1.1 #STUN
- 1.1 #MELEE
- 1.0 #ACID
- 0.0 #SMOKE
Still las is more effective to vehicles like in the damn of war concept
Also in chaos gate lasgun is more powerful than regular bolter, they downgrade it when the created the imperial guard
I made so that in the endgame, bolter be the regular weapon of the game with mastercrafted ammo
also you need 2 crafts at same time to take down ufo at the beginning so they don´t became shooting ducks by endgame and force more decisions
2)
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Shotgun Astartes Assault Shotgun - While not as iconic or widespread amongst Space Marines as the Astartes Bolter, the Astartes Assault Shotgun is a powerful and versatile weapon commonly used by their Scouts.
3) GW board room someone said " we need girl´s in this" " i know make then space marines" other said" but we love money and they only will buy head bits"" i know make the totally different space marines but equal powerful with same gear and vehicles even thought it makes no sense since space marines now have 2 hearts and are twice as tall as man" and call it heresy because we can give 2 heart but not remove big breast""ho man i love paychecks"
one of my fav. game of all time is chaos gate, the main reason i´m doing this mod instead of playing it is 2 reasons:
--assault cannon deus ex machina everything is useless even in hardcoremode
--characters are ussless (except librarian)
so my main goal is to do that balance weapons so every marine is important
and every character is important
i won´t start ranting about dawn of war where every marine is cannon fodder and someone watched lord of the ring and turn squads in to legions because we love paychecks
Also the fucking cristiano ronaldo has force commander in dawn of war 2 man that to me is more heresy than female space marine ("yeah f*ck captain kruger a wise old chapter captain we need teen´s in this""ho man we love paychecks" )
ho well sorry about mini rant i guess some passion was to be expected
i work with a lot of investors and they don´t give a fuck about context and art they just want $$ paychecks
and since i make no money in this, my decisions are made so i can play a good chaos gate
