I originally wanted to finish making this "pack" and only then post it here, but I realised that I would probably not do it soon. I decided to post the part I already have and leave the rest for later...
I've tried to "balance" these units using the knowledge that I have with Smacx, more particularly combat. I started to do this mod because I found that the missiles are not used enough, or are not powerful enough (without making them overpowered).
However, I have not tested these units yet in a real game,I only tested the missiles with their abilities separately :
A missile without weapon cannot attack (obvious, but interesting to precise.)
All special abilities / weapons / equipement /armor work on missiles except some few:
- A SAM missile has -3 range
- The carrier missile lands on itself at nearly every move (but I've sometimes manged to move 3 tiles with it!).
- Empath doesn't work (missiles doesn't attack that way... it seems they are great against native life who is always considered having 1 in defense!) but trance works.
- Artillery doesn't work
- Marine doesn't work (damn, would be fun)
- Colony missiles can only colonise land
- Transport missile has his movement /2 => 6 mvt
Strange things:
A missile with weapon and super former can terraform at normal speed.
A missile has 1.5x the strenght of his weapon (this also means self-destruct only causes 2/3 of the damage it should do).
I had a base "disappear" (= erased!) when a cloaked missile was placed in it. Might be a scenario editor bug.
Airdrop missile : when you airdrop a missile on a Unity Pod, If this pod doesn't produce a monolith/ an AA, it will not disappear!!! You could airdrop here again and again and each time get the pod bonuses! (I wonder if it does the same with normal units...)
Things to check:
- can a carrier missile survive more than one turn in the open? (I think yes)
