EXTERMINATE! - Dalek Tyranny Development!

[curtsibling]

@Sarsstock:
You picked the tough option!
The Thals are restricted to Skaro, but they have the mission
of liberating the place and making the Skaro Daleks stranded.

@Patine:
Not even on unit lost? You are quite lucky, or careful.
Even super killers like AWDs and Shuttles get killed now and then...!
You are doing well, and I can assure that things will get
tough once you make contact with your rivals!

PS
Dalek players should make a beeline to the 'Foreman's Scrap' area!

Catfish Factory should be investigated too!

I had downloaded it earlier but I just got time to install it a few minutes ago.
It looks great and plays fantastic so far!
Bow to the might of Davros, earthlings!
Can't wait for the text descriptions.

An avenue! What an unusual honour for a newbie highschool teacher! What can I say?

[Boco]

Congrats on a new job?

I'll make that change for you too, dude!

And don't worry about the timescale...!
I took long enough to bring this out, so I can wait for feedback!

PS
Anyone else having the same trouble as Patine?

Yep - you can get round it easy enough by setting the disable sprite flag for all units in @UNITS_ADVANCED (field G, first number set to 1)

Haven't had to time to play yet Curt. It looks and sounds brilliant and I'll report back once I've played some turns.

I'd prefer to have a 'Highbury' human city to blow the bejesus out of as the Daleks

[Patine]

Well, maybe I should have said no 'notable' casaulties; I'm sure Davros would write off a drone or two as acceptable losses. Mind, in the 15 turns I played last night after posting that, I lost 3 drones and 1 SWD trying to take Cyrion Factory, and I still don't have the frigging thing! How much of a bonus does industry terrain grant?

[curtsibling]

Oddly, my friend (and fellow Who fan) was trying out the scenario...

He was playing the Davros faction and also had huge
trouble taking over Cyrion's factory! It gets tricky if a
lot of sharpshots take over and get fortified...Nothing
a trio of AWDs cannot sort out!

The industry terrain has the same defence as the houses.
I guess some defenders get a vet bonus when a Dalek is
killed on attack, and that makes things tough...

You know, I might just do that!

No surprise there, I can be really mean when I want! So keep your hands off my factory!

BTW: Thanks for that Curt, I really need to get my comp back so that I can try it!

[Sarsstock]

Nobody had better go messing up Sarsstock Flats now!! Be it Dalek, Cyberman, Timelord or human, that place had better be in the same shape I left it in or somebody's gonna pay .

I did notice one fact in my adventures with the Thal’s back on Skaro. The Dalek's for whatever reason don't really seem to care about my activities, such as building up armies, moving on they're outer settlements and probing they're city core and offer little in the way of counter resistance. Once in a while one of they're Skaro Shuttle's will buzz my bases but not attack at all. In fact, I didn't face my first real Dalek resistance until I broke into the Dalek city from the north-eastern most entrance to the south-west of "Old Power Plant".

Granted, this could be explained away as being a result of the Dalek's being extremely occupied with they're operations on Earth, so much that they don't have time to worry about what’s considered to be a "non threat".

It still makes for great gaming though, I'll let you know Curt if I ever make it to the Emperor's room. I wonder how many Coke cans the Thal’s will be able make out of the Emperor's shell ?

[curtsibling]

Heh!

I guess the lack of Dal attack could be down to the situation on Earth....

Good luck, man - Grabbing some of those Dalek city interior
areas are essential to getting some help in taking over Skaro...!

[ravagon]

I can't believe I overlooked this! I've been swamped lately but still ...

I'll try and do a bit of play-testing but probably won't get the time till next weekend at least.

[techumseh]

Welcome back, Ravi!

[curtsibling]

Yep - !

Hope to get some results in from playtests, but there is no
super-hurry! I am beginning work on my next project, but
Now that the main part of Dalek is done, I am ready to add
the finishing touches (and edits) at a pleasant pace!
