[=][= Inquisitor_Sevrius =][=]

Hey all,
I was just wondering. In the old forum we had a good rant and rave on about the possibility of close combat. How has that developed? I was just wondering because atm Im hoping that your dreadnaughts can beat the living hell out of tau firewarriors (scum).

Is there a current progress list I can take a gander at?

Cheers, thanks in advance.

the dreadnaughts have been left out of first release unfortanetly.
close combat is still a possibility but i dont think there are plans to have it in the first release

yeah the first release is pretty basic.

3 tanks
3 troop options
4 buildings
1 base defense

Per faction

its got no air, and not a whole load of choices, but its a good strong start, and even just releasing that much takes a whole load of work.

Watch out for loads patches and new releases that'll follow soon after the first release!!

Hobbes said it all, so closecombat will come eventually..

[Calamity_Jones]

err actually close combat will be in the first release.. I just ain't coded it yet...

[Boomerang Python]

actually no units will have close combat in the first release so why code it in yet..

[Calamity_Jones]

oh.. I thought the marines were gonna be given cc abilities...

ok then I'll leave it

[Juggernaut]

I would'nt mind seeing some closecombat in this release already if it's not too much of a coding problem, but then all 3 races should get it, not just teh uber Marines

There isn't exactly much time. This needs to be finished BEFORE the time agreed guys.

[hobbes-99]

indeed. Everyones flat out, we need to get our stuff sorted that is agreed before adding more stuff.

[Calamity_Jones]

the coding isnt too hard.. but its animations and models... the guard models simply DON't have knives.. and i dont think it suits the Tau to be doing cc.. .after al ltheir whole ethos on war is long ranged fighting

...though Kais has a knife... I'll make them really really shit at cc

[Boomerang Python]

tau will have kroot for cc later tho

[hobbes-99]

along with the special upgrade:

'just realised I'm Tau' (promptly shoots self in the head)

[Boomerang Python]

Hehehehe I like that one

[hobbes-99]

I'm not taking credit for it, someone else already cracked it on the staff boards.

It is a joke right?

[Juggernaut]

along with the special upgrade:

'just realised I'm Tau' (promptly shoots self in the head)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

then make the Tau do Karate/Kungfu?

[Boomerang Python]

without a head?

[Juggernaut]

Grrrr....

[Calamity_Jones]

hey.. lets be nice to the aliens...

no need to be xenophobic right?

especially if they whup the puny 'oomies
