0.0.4 released!

The Dumbdead faction (tested) has had some bugfixes and also recieved a potent scout, the Ribwalker...
L1, 17 gold, TELEPORT?! (but only at night), 8MP and just to cap it off, it poisons. What the-

Oh yeah, and most if not all art/animation contributions will be much appreciated.
Also, feel free to come up with your own ideas for factions/units and post them here! :D

Wow I didn't notice this. Looks interesting :D Thought you might want to see this.

Code: Select all

{WEAPON_SPECIAL_PLAGUE_TYPE (Place Unit type here)}
So that means we can have a plague type that turns our defeated foes into Armageddon drakes... Awesome.
Don't let the Era of Nonsense guy get his hands on this :P
Saw this from another thread :lol2:

Did you think I'd forgotten about this? N-...yes. :doh:

As it is, I still can't think of any new factions, except possibly some sort of "Sea Dwarves" or "Air Mermen" etc. which don't really sound very interesting to me.
If anyone has any nonsensical ideas, please post them here.

Actually, there are already sea dwarves in era of the future. :lol2:

You could make a kind of undead that are ghosts that posses random things, like laundry! (or staplers) Wesnoth needs a sheet ghost.

:shock: Awesome idea actually! EoN already has a sheet ghost in the Dumbdead faction, but this is going to be ... FUN.
Right, going to start coding this right away, and if you don't mind I'll put you on the credits somewhere.

EDIT:
StDrake - Currently we have Technic Orcs (orcs with guns), Dumbdead (badly built skeletons), Insane Magi (altered animals), and now the Possessants (various items that have been animated by ethereal beings, idea courtesy of Wesfreak obviously).
No known bugs thankfully.
The machinegunners are possible RNG annoyances.

EDIT2:
At bigkahuna's request, headless soldiers...

You could do the more commonly used possessed armour. Or go for something like this.

Sorry, been a while since I've been on.

@ Wesfreak: I don't think technology's good enough yet for that, unfortunately. That's my self-set limitations. :(

@ StDrake: I think there might be some balance errors in "Flatten: 15-7`". :lol2:

You could do a wesnoth, pixel-version. Or go for something easier and just do a normal possessed teddy-bear with no soul attached.
