Warhammer GRIM AGE: Endless War RPG
1. THE BASIC CONCEPT.
Multiplayer-oriented submod for creating large-scale battles in the spirit of Warhammer World. The game build around the development of your character and improvement of others and purchase of new squads. After all preparations, the player will be able to register on the "quick battle", or apply for a large-scale opening event. The goal of every "quick battle" - is destruction of all armies of enemies. The opening event victory conditions can be enhanced or even completely changed. The mod will include only part of the content, but in the future, when work on the single player mod will be done, we'll add new units, maps and features.
1.1. Creating of the character.
Before you create a character, you need register in the system. Then you need to enter nickname of your game character, then choose your faction. There will be only two factions: Ostland (Empire) and Chaos Undivided in alpha. Then choose the class of your character. Every faction has special classes.
Then player gets to the character panel. There are several tabs:.
Characteristics of the character. All the same, as in the native + Skill of firearms. You can enter special skills, purchasing for your points etc.
The same "dummy" that in the native, nothing new.
Shop. By Category:
1) Weapons.
2) Armor.
3) Horses.
The assortment depends on the chosen fraction, class and some other factors.
Squad. All about it:
a) Current squad, its description, characteristics, status.
b) Upgrade of current squad.
c) Buying a new squad.
Also here you can see the amount of gold, experience points / experience points to reach the next level, as well as the number of special points. About first two it is clear. You can receive Special points for victories, defeats, and other things.
1.2. Join the battle.
After you select your equipment and squad, you can sign up for the battle. Every battle has limited number of units (e.g. 10 to 10). If we have only one server (most likely it will be so), then only one battle can be in progress. But if you really want to play, you can choose faction and connect to the game - then the player can play for one of the bots, with its equipment and characteristics.
1.3. Some about battles.
Command of squad - is a game basis. By default the order to follow in choosen formation works. (Empire. Chaos have only one formation - the crowd. But for the CW and others like it we`ll make an exception). You can order your squad to hold a position, to change its formation, to run or attack, you need.
The commander of the Army - is the head of the army of certain party. He coordinates commanders of detachments, and perconificates teamleader in game. The death of the commander - is a serious blow for troops (see below). Present only in opening event.
The main objective of each party - is complect destruction of enemy troops. In the future we plan to create database of players, units etc.
