we need a alien race

[zaladore]

we need a alien race and i wonder if anyone will ever create one.

[wesfreak]

There's already an alien race in the campaign called invasion of the unknown, but the most common approach to "we need a new faction" is that if you can want to make one yourself feel free, but don't expect to get it added to default and no guarantees anyone will ever play it.

Depends what you mean by "aliens": insect-like monsters? Little green men with laser guns?

In itself, I don't think the idea of "alien" needs a faction if it has nothing to bring. Why create one if they are gonna be elves with a different look? A new faction, in my opinion, should have something new to bring.

In any case, you may want to check Dipseydoodle's apocalypse era, which is suposed to include some kind of alien, although I can't tell you much more than that.

Actually. The humans don't have the same technology anymore. there actually bio-mechanical humans/mutants. Any way there will be a release with the elves soon and the aliens, later.

EDIT:

@Dixie. Thanks for the promotion.

Aliens with tentacles that smash enemies.

and strangle enemies and suck the life out of them and suck the life out of humans,and elves, and mermen.

Then get bored and use Lazer Machine Guns.

I made some 'brain' sprites -and some more traditional alien sprites- a while back. Feel free to use them if you want to.

Well, that is true.

There is an interesting faction of only machine units what is named Steelhive.

I have a project in my era of a faction named "the unknowns" what them are a misterous evil faction what hates every race of wesnoth exeptly the humans and the undeads.

All the unknonws are inmune to the poison, but no to the draining. Them have a restitance of arcane of -20% and a good resistance to physical of like 15%. 20% is so high, 10% is so low, but I know them should be a expensive faction, them have in their army some undeads and some humans.

[zaladore]

how do you make new sprites, and make new info folders.

[styles1005]

Umm . . . Learn WML? There are tutorials . . . somewhere.

[Hulavuta]

To make sprites, use MS Paint and/or GIMP. To make info, learn WML.

An easy approach to making sprites is "Frankenstein" For example, you might mix Lancer with Dark Adept to create an Adept riding a horse.

[dipseydoodle]

Yeah... There will absolutely NO laser guns. But there will be buggish monsters/aliens from the under grounds.

How did you make them immune to poison and not drain... people on the forums have problems with the non-living status making things immune to poison, plague, AND drain?
