OK, so I want to share some thoughts about this mode.

At this point it is at VERY EARLY STAGE, but you can have a taste of what it CAN be.

 

I suppose you all have the last internal unification version

 

So first, please start a game in the Biffy's Peril map.

(For now, this map will ALWAYS play as a Last Stand Game)

Set the first 1-3 team at the same side, but choose ONLY Eldar or Space Marines.

Set the 4th (enemy team, AI) player as Chaos Marines.

 

Start the match, and chose a squad.

In both player races (Eldar / Space Marines), I have set 3 squads that you can choose from.

Try to use covers, and utilise the map layout to your advantage!

 

 

I had a VERY SHORT experience with my brother last night (2 human players vs the AI), and I have to admit.. It was AWESOME.

Just imagine multi-member squads (4 leaders + standard + attachment = 6 different troop types), researches, weapon choices...

And special rounds where there can be a something spectacular, like BOSS battles, or even player VS player in order to claim some prize...

 

I do not have the time to work on it right now, but it can become THE UTMOST Soulstorm experience.

 

In DoW2, last stand was a masterpiece.

Now, we can have SQUAD last stand. And we can make is AS WE WANT.

 

Thoughts?

MAKE IT LEADER BASED!

[Gambit]

I'd rather keep it squad-based, and have the Leader/commander be a part of the squad.

The reason I want it to be multi-membered squad-based, is that we already have DoW2 Last Stand made that way.

Not with the multitude of DoW1 races and options of course, but still...

 

On the other hand, we can have... BOTH !

We have the option of using more that one type.

So, for some races (like Necrons) we can have only one Leader.

In other races (like IG) we can have squads.

 

I will start dealing with this mode, once we finish our current endeavours (IDH/WH/DA), and move to the next projects.

See, it will require at least a week to finish each race!

There must be new researches, squads, weapons (etc.) in each race implementation, so it is a lot of work.

The good this is that EVERYTHING is already MODULAR, and the core coding is already done
