Faction Power
:: FACTION POWER ::
I've played many games, because of this i have many ideias. This one is little crazy and seems to not be very easy to implement in wesnoth, but i will sugest. How I have said in other topic, wesnoth make easy to lose units.
This is for the developer that needs a motivation to put this on the game:
- If the developers wants to do something diferent and don't have good ideas, this one is a very diferent one (hee hee...).
- A way of make the loss of your beloved unit less terrible and useful (hee hee...).
- The game will get nicier and funnier.
- This will be very strategic.
- The game will be diversify and will give more options to the player.
- In case of the developer OR everyone who plays Wesnoth like this ideia. It will be a good motivation.
Faction Power is a power that is accumulated after a death of some unit in total of 20 (or maybe 15) points thats the addition of points is based in the level of the unit. When this points is accumuladed the leader of the faction would use the POWER when it want.
Suggestion of some POWERs:
This only a suggestion of power if you don't like those power, so suggest one thats fits better.
Loyalists:
HOLY (or ARCANE) WAVE: Cures and Heal+8 ALL your units.
Rebels:
NATURE POWER: Slows all enemies units.
Northerners:
POISON CLOUDS: Poisons all enemies units.
Undeads:
DARKNESS POWER: ALL yours units could use NIGHTSTALK ability and the day settings return to FIRST WATCH.
Knalgans:
DEFESIVE POWER: ALL yours units could use STEADFAST ability and boots the moviment +2.
Drakes:
SUN POWER: ALL yours units could use TELEPORT ability and the day settings return to MORNING.
Others:
THUNDERSTORN: ALL yours AQUATIC units uses SUBMERGE ability in water and could walk in GRASSLAND like in water with 50% of avoid (with rain).
GOLD POWER: in the next turn each of your villages will produce 5x more GOLD.
FROST WAVE or HEAT WAVE: All enemies unit gets 4 (Ice or Fire Attack) points of damage.
*OBS: ALL FACTIONs POWER have the duration of 1 (ONE) turn and atfter this return to a normal game.
One important Detail: when the fation is messed with others faction, the faction power will be define by the unit leader thats belong to the faction (could you understand? I thinking that frase ins't very clear).
PROBLEMS that this can do:
- Will need some animations;
- The developer will need to work more (this is very bad);
- Changes here (in the game) makes many other changes in the game (I know);
- It will need to be balaced;
- And other that i don't know yet.
This is a OPEN and FLEXIBLE suggestion and if is necessary to do some changes, there aren't problens.
I'm messing to much with wesnoth (I know thats it isn't pinball! hee hee...)? What do you think about this little crazy idea?

Um, I really hate this. The factions power and uniqueness comes from their units, not some innate ability, and I hate strategy games that turn that on its head. Heck, I hate all faction-specific abilites and bonuses, since that's time that could be better spent on faction-specific units and balance instead.
And, not to sound rude, but here's my thoughts on your "points":
Agains, I apologize if I come off as rude or abrasive, this is meant as constructive criticism.
And, not to sound rude, but here's my thoughts on your "points":
This is just plain arrogant, and comes off very badly.- If the developers wants to do something diferent and don't have good ideas, this one is a very diferent one (hee hee...).
Let's just make the units cookie-cutter cannon fodder, and rely solely on the abilities? Do not want.- A way of make the loss of your beloved unit less terrible and useful (hee hee...).
More arrogance. Also, opinions are good things. And my opinion is that this would do nothing but damage the game.- The game will get nicier and funnier.
More like broken, and cause a whole new wave of unbalance and tweaking.- This will be very strategic.
More isn't always better.- The game will be diversify and will give more options to the player.
More arrogance, and I can't figure out what "good motivation" means.- In case of the developer OR everyone who plays Wesnoth like this ideia. It will be a good motivation.

This might actually be an interesting custom add-on, and may not be too hard to do. For the main game itself I'd really doubt it.
[EDIT] What's all this noise about it being "not strategic"?

Oh guy! Don't take the things so serius i am only playing a little, becuase i know that has very little (almost impossible) chance of this happen. And if i was arrogant i sorry, it wasn't my intention.

Re: Faction Power
Actually the problem here is not implementation. This should even be mostly doable in WML without extra hard coded engine support. The problem is that this idea is insane.BuBu wrote: This one is little crazy and seems to not be very easy to implement in wesnoth

I think the idea sounds quite fun. It's not very wesnoth-ish, as we know it, but might be good for some UMC. Good for doing a come-back. Wesnoth is one of those games where come-backs are rare.
Good is simply that which is willed. - Eugene Halliday
Comments on this post here: IF you have an idea as radical/crazy/impossible to balance as this, then don't ever try to press it for mainline. Propose it as a UM senario option, and it will get much better responce.BuBu wrote: Thanks for your criticism. But...

About advance wars is based on it.
Comments on the suggestion: Rediculas, even if you could make it so that all the racial powers were balanced it still would not fit the game very well.
