planertary annhilation hoping to see...!

i hope theres a mod maneger like forged alliance, easy and all
also im hoping to see more units than what they showed and more buildings also if theres more than 4 factions with different units ,abilitys , buildings
any idea if theirs any of these or is it too soon to say ,i just cant play a game with small number of units makes it boring quickly
oh and i also hope to see a VERY LARGE planets, that gives space to move around and make it a little harder
also one sided maps

The game is designed for modding. It will have a good interface for easily managing mods.

There will be more units and buildings, the game is not feature complete.

There will not be multiple factions. This will be moddable.

Size 100 planets are already very large. There will probably be ways to mod even larger.

Modding is going to be a big part of PA

There will be more units, but no factions.

Larger planets are a thing, but currently you need boatloads of RAM to generate them in the Planet Editor.

You can use the forum search if you want to find any of the countless threads we've already had on these topics.

Technically there is. Each Commander is a different faction.

You actually don't need to mod anything, you can already click on 100 and input any number. If you have lot of RAM of course.

Technically correct, but if you want to go into scemantics like that you also need to mention that regardless of each commander being 'a faction' they still all use the same unit pool so functionally there are no factions.

Mike

Though each Commander won't be the same.

Do you really want someone who doesn't know all teh context for that comment start making assumptions? We already know how that ends, it ends in an almost 300 post thread of people going crazy for nothing.

Mike

No, I was answering his question about multiple factions having different units, not dissecting unusual semantics where slightly different commanders are referred to as from different 'factions'.

I think the server rejects larger planets so you can't play them right now? Just like you can't play negative radius planets.

Yes server will reject such planet, but it's also reject any planet with radius larger than 65.

Haha! Oh yeah! Haven't even considered making planets larger than maybe 35. When performance is really good it will be cool to play a big game on a single massive planet.

I kinda miss the ARM v CORE thing. Each faction had basically the same units by role but they had some unique units as well as styles. Like how infantry for arm used bullets and core infantry used lasers. Does anyone know if modding support for multiple factions will exist?

I think it's will obviously exist because it's will be first think will be done after Uber release servers. Many people want to see TA/SupCom conversions.

Yeah, I was thinking the other day about how there will be TA mods but how would they handle only one faction. It would be cool if an RTS game implemented a customizable unit/faction system that ran checks for balance and such.

Multiple Factions > this i really want to see, will be very disappointing if is only one race

Prepare to be disappointed.

INB4: People talk about political factions.

I will also be dissapointed if they leave BROKEN WHITE color as a option!!!

You'll have to explain what you mean by "broken white'.

Mike

That's for a different thread (as in don't talk about it here, there's already a thread on the topic).

Just a thought, since the creation of different factions requires a lot of man power-- I wouldn't mind seeing stylistically different factions (eg Factions that have the same units/ buildings, but aesthetically different).
