Is this an actual game?
May I have a link?

I am enjoying this game, the learning curve is pretty steep for new players though

I fucking hate it when you guys make up games because it seems so damn cool and like something I would have so much fun playing but then there's nothing.

Jesus guys, yes I mad

WHY ISNT THIS A QUEST THREAD OR SOMETHING?

seriously, this is too fucking cool to not try to do.

>>16502284
what version you playing? anything under 0.94b has really stupid =][= AI

>>16502341
FUCK YOU.

>>16502341
Oh, yup I derp'd.

Let me update and I'll reload the same scenario.

>Playing Salamanders
>Get my shit kicked around early game because I have to amass resources to make sure Initiates and Neophytes have access to master-crafted armor/weapons
>Finally get other planets beyond Nocturne, after bloody long battle against orks where I have to fight tooth and claw for territory/resources.
>Suddenly entire galaxy is my bitch

Every time a thread like this comes along, I get all happy and excited for such an awesome game to be out....

And then I remember /tg/ habit for creating fictional games on the spot for shits and giggles.

It makes me a sad neckbeard.

This thread, by itself, has pushed me over to Khornate worship in pure anger. Fuck you, /tg/.

Okay just reran- here's what went down;

Inquisition in way tougher in the new version.

>Quit.

Fuck's sake. Goddamn overpowered Kharn. Why are all his stats so high?

I smell a troll

>>16502454
So, don't bother playing BT's, is what you're saying.

>>16502513
because it is a random event. If you had stuck around long enough, or if the death/time rate went down then he would disappear again. Special characters can't actually die I don't think, but don't last for ever either. Each one has different conditions and different effects, kharn is a boring one though he just kills stuff and thats all. You can look up a big chart of special characters on the game wiki.

>Chapter Name: Raptor Swords
>Space Wolfs, but with DINOSAURS instead of wolfs.
>Battlecry is DINOSAURS ARE COOL!!!!
>Don't have actual dinosaurs, just giant lizards.
>Do well in early rounds
>HOLYSHIT EXODITEWORLD
>Real, live dinosaurs.
>Capture some, fight eldar, general fun-times with dinos.

Few rounds later...
>Ordo Xenos investigates!
>Eldar bio-witchery was found!
>Slaughter dinos
>Slaughter scouts for defending the dinos
>Decimate chapter.

We're recovering slowly. Our last recruitment drive went well. But Jesus... what? Considering starting up Warboss. Anyone have similar stories about Inquisitor bullshit?

>Random Chapter, Iron hands
>Mite B cool.
>Techmarines!
>So many resources for ONE Techmarine!
>Crimson Fists call for backup
>Spend all my Resources on dreadnoughts.
>Drop some.
>Dreadnoughts refuse to fight because the Forge Father didn't use the right litany.

Fucking. Litanies.

>>16502564

So... he just dissapears when he's killed enough? Are you sure? I know scripted events are usually brutal but Kharn seems a bit broken to me. My guys didn't even land one hit at all.

>Play Space Wolves
>Sign up for easy starter Crusade against Tau Empire
>It's quite a ways away, but whatever
>Everything is going great until- "FENRIS IS UNDER SIEGE"

>Send a strike cruiser to check things out.

>NOPE
>Start smashing the "Exterminatus" option.

>>16502616
Count yourself lucky bro. I had Angron thrown at me. Killed the whole fucking chapter.

Anyone dealt with Lucius yet? I'm curious as fuck as to what he does.

Has anyone downloaded the Sabbat expansion yet? You play as guard, I know, but the option of commanding millions of men is very tempting. What's the combat like? How hard is it to put down hostile factions? Just as hard as the core game or what?

They need to fix it so Necron Tomb World's can't be on home planets. It was fucking bullshit. They deep struck right on top of all my shit.

>>16502686
bah, when primarchs go deamon, they become pushovers. Just look at what Draigo did to Montarion

>>16502677
Have you ever been the underdog in a game of Risk?
Where every other player has 30 guys on every country around you, and you only have ten in scattered territories? And you know FULL AND WELL and that you could totally bring it home, but you just can't see the HOW of it?
Kinda like that, but occasionally, Sisters show up and help you. Thank God they actually do something here, I was starting to believe the squatting rumors.

>>16502707
>Just look at what Draigo did to Montarion
>Montarion

I bet he kicked his ass. Bit of an unfair fight though.

>>16502736
That was, in fact, my face. Gotta hit up /rs/. Any stories from that?

Anyone wanna make this for real? I have some experience programming, but suck at making anything graphical (except in Matlab LOL). But I could certainly program mechanics for something like this in C or Python.

>>16502851
I'd do the shit out of this. I'm only picking up C# at the moment, but I can help with the math. Could do real fucking simple graphics wise like dorf fort.

>>16502830
How long have you had him? If it was for a good while, I would say you're in the clear. If he's fresh, though, your face is fucked.

>>16502955
Hell, not even do graphics. Just have a text interface.

>>16502851

How easy would it be to do a total conversion mod of EU III? That would probably be a plausible way of accomplishing this.

Keep in mind that anyone who makes this will be a saint in /tg/ forever.

But that is WHY you must help them , Brother.

If you don't. Who else?

LINK PLZ

Alright folks. I will try to make this happen. I will be using python and the pygame module. I expect any early versions to have very little prettiness (maybe a map of the sector, with highlighted colors for events). It will mostly be text based for events. However, I have only recently gotten into the hobby. This thread (and the prior one, which I would need to find) had some good ideas. But I need people to come up with fluff and mechanics ideas.

Note that this will take awhile. I am working on a PhD at the moment, so I will have ebbing and flowing work. Once I have something running, I will share it so that people can offer suggestions and ideas.

>>16503051
It doesn't exist.

>Attack nearby Ork Waaagh! and commit everything.
>Ork Waaagh! crumbles, despite pwning the NPC imperial units (including a whole Titan stack) that wail on it for every turn I'm there.
>Gained: Istnowarius IV as a vassal world.
>Gained: 12 Veterans.
>Gained: Unknown Relic.

Jesus. I was expecting getting maybe one or two vets out of that, and even then I didn't think I would win. Saved it right there. I've never had it so good at that point it the game. Result.

Guys, you cant joke about this kind of stuff. Now someone either has to make the game, or I will die from the despair of never playing it.

>>16503106
So if it isn't for profit, if it has no real home website, no named author, and nebulously gets transferred around, who can they yell at?

>>16503119
They'll find someone. Sneaky lawyers.

This probably wouldn't be that hard to do. I think the key part would be to make it easy to add events/chapters/planets/relics/whatever and let /tg/ take care of adding meat to the skeleton.

>>16503056
I'm willing to offer any services necessary with fluff or with writing. Hit me up.

>>16503056
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16475925/

That's the previous thread. Hope you're serious about this, anon. If I don't get an email from you, I'm gonna be mad. Like, Kharn levels of mad.

>>16503124
The programs' skeleton and modules may spread separately like vassal.

>>16503132
This is true. It also let's me make a skeleton file that is unaffiliated with 40k, that let's you load a module that does contain the 40k stuff. That would mean writing the program's skeleton wouldn't have legal issues.

>>16503156
I've just installed the necessary software to start. You likely won't hear from me for a quite a bit, because there is a lot to do in the meantime, and it will go slowly. I will make the skeleton before I add any meat, so to speak. But people should start telling me what mechanics they want included.

Added this thread as favorite.

>>16503172
Nope. Depending on your version, either Calgar got leadership for being a smurf, or he got it for having bigger balls.

Either way, this is not a game where you win by being smart.

We weren't too far away from a feudal world with shit defenders. Why must you do this to me, Khorne?

>>16503179
I like the idea of getting three options when you start. Either:
>Random Chapter: Generates completely new chapter for you. Allows you to change basic stuff (name and livery)
>Choose Chapter: Pre-generated chapters. All the big canon ones should be included here.
>Create Chapter: Allows you to create a chapter, hands on. No idea how this would work. Maybe Rites of Battle rules?

Does anyone know what Unkown Artifacts do? Are they the same as Unknown Relics? I know it's a noob question but my run through is going well. I don't want it flushed down the shitter by simply owning the damned thing.

>>16503240
Also, maybe a separate thread would be a good idea...

>>16503132 This probably wouldn't be that hard to do

Are you kidding? it would be a ridiculous amount of work.

I'm not trying to be discouraging, but let's be realistic here; even fairly crappy text adventures can take 1,000's of man hours to make.

>>16503256
Artifacts are not sacred in nature. There's a chance they're alien. Have your tech-priests examine it, it might also be archaeotech or just something rare like a cache of plasma grenades. If it's alien, gift it to the Inquisition *before* they find out about it on their own.

>>16503274
There is also a chance for them to be daemonic. It's all generated when you first examine it. I examined one, it was a DAOT tank, reloaded and examined again, it was a Daemon-possessed iron skull trinket.

>>16503267
I've made basic text-based games before. I've made music composing programs, and had a half-finished pokemon TCG game (I abandoned when I saw that they made an official one. Mine had cooler animations, but I never could get Pokemon Powers working the way I wanted. I would have had to end up writing a sub-program for each one, basically)

>>16503256
I never friggin' found out because I held onto it too long and it disappeared.
Apparently some chapters aren't as apprehensive about using the artifacts of potential doom.

even Ultramar pays tithes

Can you faggots please use all this creative energy to actually make a real game like this?

Hell, just a "real lifes" type sim would be amazing and able to do lots of the stuff you wank off about in these threads.

Until then, I've had enough of your fake ass threads, I'm going to go use my finger box instead.

>>16503301

How do you WIN at 40k? Did you wake up the Emperor or something?

From that point on, I always forced an immediate examination of any artifact.

If there is a thread about it later, first thing that should be decided is what kind of game this will be. Just text based? Or something a little better looking?

>>16503341
Better. The emperor accepted Roboute Gulliman as his spiritual liege.

>>16503338
No.

This creative energy takes five minutes and no programming skill.

You do it.

>>16503289
>>16503274

Thanks guys, I'll just click examine here... Huh. It says "Mastercrafted Digi-weapon". The class of the weapon says "Archeotech". Guess it spawns good stuff sometimes, then. Pretty chuffed, actually. I'm giving that to my Chapter Master right away.

>>16503330
no they don't. Ultramar just runs shit so well the people actually volunteer for service rather than being forced into it. plus when a Primarch says, we ain't payin our taxes the imperium tends to listen.

>capcha: burns cold

>>16503305
I like. I don't think diplomacy should include foul xeno scum, though. I hope that there will be named enemies, though. But no alliances with Necrons.

>>16503361
But the Imperium DOES conduct diplomacy with foul xenos scum.

Master of Orion - oriented may be? It's quite simple, just needs to add more random events ant a ton of text. Is it open to modding?

>>16503348
Text and space maps. Maybe some sprites for units. Nothing fancy. The controls in the form of buttons and text, with graphical output. At least, that is what I am capable of at the moment. You can always expand the graphics later. But they aren't necessary for this kind of game.

>>16503348
I like to think of it like the Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom game.

Is there any non-programming stuff that this project would require. Because I'm willing to do whatever is in my capacity.

>>16503341

>the forces of the Chaos gods have given up.

>>16503394
There will be. But not for a month or two, would be my guess. If you know fluff, or have ideas, there may be threads popping up now and then. Stay tuned.

For now, just post things you think would be an essential part of the game

I'll try and make a post about this project in the next few days If someone can archive this later tonight, that would be great. Otherwise, night ever'one.

>>16503406
Money systems limited to crowns, definitely. Get a monthly income from taxes of planets you own. You choose how much of those taxes you give away to the Administratum, the more you give the more chance you have of getting support when you ask for it. You can also gift/demand crowns to certain people in the diplomacy screen.

>>16503459

Easy way? Destroy the ship. Hard Way? Send over a HQ unit and a very large stack of good units. Make finding the nest a priority. You might save the ship, you might not. It's a bit of a gamble, Anon.

>>16503459
>>16503415

Is there a game called WARBOSS: the WAAAGH simulator?

>hope.jpg

You could easily take ideas from Civilizations 4 and 5 for this game. Or just make a Civs 4 or 5 mod.

>>16503477
It's just, you look at the stats on the damn ship, and it's just, well... Zog me, it's bootiful, boss. The ship has more or less enough fire power to conduct half of an exterminatus by itself.

I guess I couldn't just expect to get such a nice ship for free.

High lords of Terra invite all 5 to dinner. They ask the only Chapter Master who shows where the others are. He says he will go look for them. Chapter master returns in hastily painted armor, fake mustache and tells them in a french accent that he has arrived at last.

Repeat that a few times.

My strike team consisted of 90 Mega Nobs, 200 slugga boys, 400 shoota boys, 75 burna boys, 50 tank bustas, and 100 stormboys. They got destroyed, which was a good 1/5 of my total forces. If I sustained any more losses like that, I'd lack the sheer orkpower to man my ships.

>>16503640
Chapter master is a pretty common combo of words, so make sure you also search for 'forums' and remember that the game has Chapter Master as one word. Good luck, that fucker is way back page wise, took me like 3 hours to find it.

So worth it, cleaving across the skies of the Imperium with my Imperial Fists, smashing foes of the emperor and using my First Founding Status to ignore the inquisition. Totally boss.

>>16503650
Really can't unless I want to save up for another 200 rounds of just massing orks, and since I'm a freeboota fleet, getting scrap and more boys is a bit difficult. Not to mention the terrible condition my forces would be in if I got attacked. I already threw 20% of my forces at it, and I don't even know anything has changed about their strength. Plus, the strength of the ship alone is so high tiered. Some of its stats would make a titan envious.

>>16503233

I don't like how most project die alone and unloved five minuets later, though, when all the moronic fa/tg/uys wanking about how they're totally going to pull this shit of this time get out of their manic phase, realize that pulling shit off would require work, and turn their attention to something easier. Like masturbation or something.

>>16503645

Ah. I see your problem. You had no HQ unit. I suggest sending in a similar force next time (if there is a next time) with a Mek or the Warboss himself. But bear in mind still that you could still lose the stack. Odds tend to be 50/50 on events like this.

>>16503667
You are no true Ork. You sent 20% of your forces? A real Warboss would have sent everyone.

>>16503654

The game would need to be organised in full squads of men, and they would need to move in companies, rather than singular men.
Also, turn based game, obviously.

>>16503687
When comandeering a ship, I sent what I considered an "overkill" strike force. Besides, I have 7 ships in my fleet, which need to be maintained, defended, and most importantly, piloted. If I lose any more orks, I'm going to have to abandon a ship somewhere, and if I lose another strike team that size, I'll be too crippled for the rest of the game to accomplish anything meaningful, unless I happen upon some clan of orks I can crush and enslave.

Well, i decided to attack the marauders i got 9xbolter scrap, 7xmutated organs and 8xchaos plates.

So the sororitas are gratefull enouth to not attack me and they are offering me a quest, but in the bottom i see the option "Loot".

Uh... i can't decide. Help me /tg/.

>>16503768
WHAT DOES DAH ORK SIDE SEZ?!

>>16503786

Looting of course... but i don't know if the quest would give me more loot.

So should i loot the convent?

>>16503805
QUest and teh loot!

>>16503815

Ok, i accepted the quest.

She said that a few miles nort there is a village controled by four marauders clans, each one worshipping one chaos god. They have random battles and skimish, making the local enslaved population suffer.

She said that the convent isn't enouth supplied to fight them and she hate to ask a xeno to do the inquisition job, but if we complete the quest she said that the emperor would forgive our xeno sins.

Well, i accepted just for the exp reward, even if i can't see any loot.

After that, the option "loot" is still there and looks like i don't need the sisters to complete the quest. Is tempting, shall i click it?

>>16503865

>>16503896

>>16502259

Ah, this game. It brings me back.

I remember starting small, working from a single planet and only intervening in local conflicts, to build up the Chapter's strength. I got a call from the Astral Claws Chapter, requesting support.

Suddenly I'm up against three Space Marine Chapters, and declared a heretic. Then the Astral Claws flip to Chaos, and I realize just how screwed I am.

I mean, what the fuck? That's a BLIND CHOICE!

>>16503885

Ok, when i hitted the "Loot" button i had to fight the sisters. I chose "nonletal" because shit, i like sister.

Well, after that i obtained 5xSororita slaves that doesn't work for fight because i don't have the "Digga Boss" perk and i need a few levels to obtain it, but i got 6xBolter scrap, 10xFlame scrap, 7xCeramic plate and 6xrubber.

Well, is time to level up with 2 perk points, i guess you know what are the level 2 perks, but i'm interested in two especially: Savage survival, that allow me to skin anything for leather and trophies, and Da way of da lootah, that unlocks the ability to do weaponry and armory with loot.

I have your bless to get those two perks? or should i get other perks?

>>16503994
Better than savage if you are fighting against sisters(lolslaves=lol moar sis) is better "Burna boyz? burna boyz." or even "WAAAAAAAAGH"(remember if you want to have a bigger waaaaagh your need to spend points on the waaaagh perks)

>>16504066

Yeah, i know, but now i'm heading to a village full of chaos worshipers, and well, mutations are cool to skin.

But i'll follow your advice, i'll take Da way and first level WAAAGH!. That would allow me to make grots and squigs.

And after that we could start doing things with the loot we got. What we have is:

9xbolter scrap, 7xmutated organs, 8xchaos plates, 6xBolter scrap, 10xFlame scrap, 7xCeramic plate and 6xrubber.

>>16504104
IIRC, with the way you can make any scrap a full weapon(using a plate or a extra scrap) so make yo' weaponz

>>16504120

I was thinking to attach many scrap together and make a pretty decent weapon. I will use a flame scrap for the cannon and three or four bolter scrap for the body, the handler and and a few more things.

I'm looking at this right now and is so beautifull. I'm going to call it Sixshotta.

After that, i'm going to seach in the convent and see if i can find some leather or cloth, i would like to make a good armor with a poncho attached.

>>16504149
Just to know, how many ork resource you have?(not you WAAAAAAGH lvl)

>>16504182

As i told you i started with 0.

I wanted to start fresh. Don't know, like the idea of building up a waaagh from zero.

SO here I sit /tg/. Wondering who is going to feel the boot of my chapters forces? Ill let you pick.

>>16504187

Ok, after a while crafting i made an armor with the chaos and ceramic plates, attached a poncho on it and as i found an inquisitor hat, i put it on.Also i found some speakers, so i made them into a boss pole. Using some of the scrap pieces and one chainsword i found on the convent i made a good enouth choppah at least for level 2 characters.

Well guys, i'm heading north to face the marauders with my sororitas slave.

Should i proceed smashing or cunning?

>>16504187
Then when your boss lvl up you should take "IMA DA BIGGEST" and "IMA DA STRONGEST" to take "IMA DA BOSS!" and start making da waaagh!

>The Adeptus Mechanicus has given you Warlord Titan blueprints.

That doesn't normally happen...

My advice is to do a purge, Anon. I believe your chapter may have been infiltrated by Alpha Legionnaires. Things will probably turn to shit in the next twenty turns if you don't...

>>16504316
Krump' em good!

>>16504327
I think it was a bit of a thank you for the STC prints I sent them. I basiclly gave them a lost book of the bible.
But I took the trait "Incorruptable" So im not too worried. But, I keep an eyes on my librarians. Never can discount them.

>>16504372
>Took the trait 'Incorruptible'
Ho boy.

Okay, that trait only works if you're playing Grey Knights.

For everyone else? It actually DOUBLES the corruption rate of your chapter. In the words of an admiral far wiser than I: IT'S A TRAP.

>>16504337
Ok, i paused the game because now i'm corned.

I went inside town were the mutant freaks were doing their chaos cultist shit. As i got inside town every mob looked at me, still didn't made them hostile but yet was still pretty uncomfortable. I saw one of them pointing at me and laughing at me, so i decided to smash his head. It was great because i had a critic hit.

But before i could loot him, every guy in town started to attack me and i have to shoot randomly (well, the SixShoota really makes a good damage) and my healt points were going down, so i had to hide inside a random building as everyone shoots me. Thanks Gork that none of my slaves were damaged, but now i don't know what to do.

>>16504397
Tell me you didn't use your "WAAAAAAAGH!" or "brutality kunnin'" habilities... if you didn't use them now. first turn=Brutality Kunnin' to make a plan, next turn use plan and the last one use the "Waaagh!" to make yourshelf more powerful.

>>16504421

Well, i saved the game for later, i have work to do.

Also it gave me a good idea for a quest thread.

First fortress is done with 4 others at about 3/5ths done. Chapter of 1500 marines. unothodoxy went up but Rowboat Girlyman can eat my dick.
One of my Librarians was tratior. Didnt declair hem heredical. Just sent him on a lone mission into an ork Infested world. All alone.
Have Cadian forces ready to mount an assult and move into necron territory.
Should i go? Im still tuning my Masters Armour.

>>16504786

Yeah pretty much. They've changed Craftworlds to become a 'Random Event' that you have to actively pursue. They're rare, but can fuck you over. Have a buddy who's struggling to contain a Nid Fleet because he pulled his 1st company out of line to investigate a suspected craftworld.

Absolutely. In hindsight, the techmarine pad needs a little more shading on the opus machina, the commander pad could be touched up a bit, and for god's sake get it off that white background. Something neutral might look good.

The white parts in the center of the pad can have a chapter color laid over them at some level of transparency.

Guys come on, we CAN make this. A lot simpler than what's written here, hell we can even start with just the Ultrasmurfs as playable Chapter in it.

>>16509076
I've never seen anyone with the balls to paint an entire 7th company Ultramarines. This makes me sad.

>>16509095
Bro, if the project actually takes off, rest assured I'll come forward with more stuff and a name. Until then, anonymity suits me fine.

Guys, guys, if we are going to get shit done, can we do this right? Set up a git repository so people can see what's going on and chip in from time to time.

>>16509147

You should also set up a donation fund we can use to hire a programmer while you're at it.

Because we aren't making this without one, and ones that work for free tend not to work much once the excitement's worn off.

>>16509128
Also, based on my experience modding Space Hulk/ Alien Assault, what is really needed is a part of the program that can recolor the trim and inserts of the pads by itself, then superimpose markings and honors. If the project were to take off, I'd work on all those separate components and leave sorting the program out to someone else.

I'm also imagining that on the "actual" Ultramarines sidebar, first company would have a red exclamation point over it for understrength. Things like that need to be thought out.

Clicking a company or department would bring up a squads and officers panel, which would normally look like eleven back banners- one for each squad, one for the captain.
The Armory would have Master of the Forge and probably some tank commander rank like Spear of Maccragge or whatever Kronus is, and then the vehicle banners (As shown in Codex Ultramarines 2e) for each.

On tactical companies, each banner would have indicators to show whether or not the squad could be mounted on bikes or speeders, or whether an APC was attached.

Clicking a banner brings up the squad; a line of ten shoulder pads with squad marking and some decorations. Red skull on the sergeant, red halo on the combat squad leader if it's a codex chapter.

Blah blah blah.

>>16509174
Someone committed earlier in the thread (last night). We don't know exactly how they're visualizing it, though, they seemed to be leaning towards full text based.

>>16509174
That was kind of my point. If programmers are actually going to DO shit, it would be nice to keep their work around and publicly visible so that we don't lose it once they quit. I'd donate my meager skills, but I'm already overstretched with work/personal projects. That said, I'd probably chip in some patches and features if I could submit my code easily

>>16509216

Ya huh. So good luck getting your opinion heard by this ONE guy who's going to program the ENTIRE GAME for you.

I'm sure this will work.

>>16509216
I was thinking on:
Full text based and strategy per turns on combat or autoresolve.
And construction in dorf fotress stile.

>>16509279
Ok in emailfiend is my email, just to discuse ideas and start trying to atleast, mod dorf fortress or other game(studying informatic...)

I'll help with this. I'm learning c# at the moment, but I could pick up python if you guys wanted to do it in that. Drop me an email so I can help.

>>16508086
Remind me not to take legal advice from you.

>>16509382

Pretty much this.

It' nice sentiment you guys, but you're better off making this original content. No way will GW let you fly with this if it gains enough momentum for them to notice. They just aren't that kind of company.

[thpoilerth]God, I wish this was a real thing[/thpoilerth]

>>16509248
I don't care if he hears my opinion. I'm the guy who made all those shoulder pads, and I had fun doing it. If they get used, I'll be happier, but I draw for fun.

>>16509404
We could give the game to Teardown as a companion to Alien Assault and release all the 40k content as "mods".

List part two

List part 3

>>16510228

For the Create Chapter thing, use the Rites of Battle generator. It's solid.

>Crowns

Should be Thrones, or even MegaThrones (= 1000 thrones) to represent that a Chapter Master has a shitload of cash to toss around.

Another resource unit that has been established is Renown, a measure of reputation. It works the way Renown works in Deathwatch, in allowing you access to restricted items, relics, assistance from other factions and other stuff that money can't buy.

This is what happens when you don't save your game, kids.

More stats for the chapter's running:

* Food supplies
* Medical supplies
* Local population status
* Chapter serf status
* Geneseed stock status

>>16510282
Thrones are canonically the Calixis general term for currency, not galactic. Even in Calixis, Thrones are just an exchange measure, and there isn't one standard Calixis Throne Gelt, each version varies by world. Imperial Credits have been mentioned more often in more parts of the galaxy.

>>16510261

Events: A more general format.

* [planet] in [sector] is under attack by [enemy]! [faction] is requesting assistance!

* The commander of [faction] is requesting your aid in a campaign against [enemy] in [sector]. Do you wish to grant an audience?

* Strategic prognostication and reading the Emperor's Tarot indicates (one of) the following:

** You will require the assistance of [faction] over the coming cycle.

** During the following cycle, it will be advantageous to ally with [faction].

** You will stand against [enemy] in [sector]. Be prepared!

** Strange flows within the Warp point towards [system] in [sector]. Who knows what one might find there?

>>16510246
Add to the administration
"Traits"

>>16510408

Also, a general suggestion: I think it would be great to use an "adviser/council" thing, similar to King of Dragon Pass and Sim City, where you have a council of advisers that offer opinions on events. The council would consist of company captains, the chief librarian, the master of the forge and so on. Each would have their own perspective on what to do and how.

Under attack message would appear at start of turn when AI commands an attack, this is not an event

Requesting Aid would be done throught the diplomacy screen

Tarot cards would be cool... but how are you going to have the AI predict the future?

>>16510478
Dancing Plague in the Chapter Crypt is something you REALLY do not want to hear.

>>16510486
You don't. Play it like it's just a silly superstition. Players will remember it the 5% of the time when things play out according to the reading, and will dismiss it when they don't.

>>16510486

>but how are you going to have the AI predict the future?

By increasing the likelihood of the predicted event happening within the next few turns.

Tell me this is a major bug and not chaos dickery

OP here, I would make a donations page to start collecting to hire programmers, but
1. no one would donate more than a few dollars and we would never get enough money to pay even one wage
2. no one would donate in the first place until a certain amount of work had already been done

So I think we should set up a server that can support uploading open source and submission system, a forum and whatever else we need.

I wouldn't put any wargame elements in it at all, except for force placement. The resolution would be randomized. Each leader would have a personality and issue orders (Charge, Hold, Hide, Advance, Retreat, Ambush) accordingly, and the results would be worked out by comparing the chosen strategies and each force's suitability to that strategy.

Also, all these stories make me imagine the game being more Rogue Trader era in style for some reason. Maybe because I liked Ian Watson's Space Marine (very dorf fortressy at points, now that I think about it. "Lexandro has been seized by an odd mood! Lexandro wants a scrimshawing kit! Lexandro has sealed himself in the Laboratory!").

>>16510755
But maybe also because this is the only thing I would want for a loading screen...

Fucking best bug that I have encountered.

Codex Tactical Squad Panel
Sergeant with traditional Iron Skull marking rendered in heraldic red. Squad Leader with traditional Iron Skull marking rendered in heraldic red.

(I'm imagining that the empty spaces above and below the squad banner would have honors pinned onto them)

>>16511214
tell me you made a squad of servo-skulls and put the sgt. skull in charge. You could call the "The Headhunters"

>>16511226
Ahem. Squad Leader with traditional Iron Halo marking, I should have said.
Note that's just an award for leadership, not a conversion field device.

Autosaging now, I guess. Archived here, though:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16502259/

What about fleet warfare and fleets jumping in and out of warp...wouldnt there be some ships lost or an entire chapter or crusade itself lost, and Space Hulk events, rebellion event, crisis of faith, false prophet, a new race? A new world, outer colonial worlds, rebel inquisitors, assasinations, pissed of an inquisitor on a mission long ago; sends a vindicare to kill you. Can you be something other than Chapter Master? Can you be a Rogue Trader? An Administratum Sector Magistrate? Frontline Field General/Commander of an Inmperial battleforce? Colonial COmmander? Mechanicum Explorator? Do Black Templars play by entire chapter or individual crusades?

>>16511399
We are just building the skeleton of the game, sure you could expand to do all that later, but at the moment we just want to get the basic ideas for how the engine would function.

>>16511451
well I guess take inspiration from Galactic Civs, you have worlds and sectors under control. and you have a list of shit realted to the worlds and sectors, plus the chance of extraordinary events happening in that world. Like Cadia for exampe will be 80-90% planet as in shit will go down around that planet for sure within the next 20 turns or somesuch.
