Ok after finishing the macro-resource management part, I am now doing the technology one. It will be interesting. Of course since I am not making a 4X game, the techs will all focus on the wargame part with a few exceptions (maybe just a few techs to boost population growth, productions, and so on).<\/p>\n
Now I am starting to plan the wargame part, the real core of the game, where I hope players will spend lot of their time \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Since it will be turn based, I’ll have to carefully balance all the units. I don’t like games in which you start with a low-level unit that soon become obsolete, “cannon food”… I want every units to have pro\/cons in a sort of rock\/paper\/scissors game.<\/p>\n
So the small scout won’t have much firepower but they’ll be able to evade shots of the bigger cruisers, effectively beating them in the long run. This is just an example. I plan also to have different weapons, like beam weapon, missiles, shields, etc.<\/p>\n
Before you ask, in this first release there won’t be any “ship design” options, in which you can completely customize your ships blueprints.<\/p>\n
The units types will be fixed, as well as their weapons\/shields\/devices. What will change is the possibility of upgrades .\u00c2 Example: Red Legion scout ship with 2 lasers and 1 missile. If you discover the technology “black laser”, an upgrade to the normal laser that delivers more damage, you automatically have it upgraded on the unit. Same for the missile. I have yet to think if allow a choice on what to install on the ships once battle start, in case you have 2 techs that can apply to same device type, like “black laser” and “neutron laser”. It could add a lot of more strategy since each weapon could have different damage types to different enemies, but probably I’ll add this feature in a future upgrade… \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
