Which campaign will you play first?
Gen. Yuri replied to Red Blitzkrieg's topic in Red Alert 3 / Uprising
Honestly, I've seen worse. Both from furry "artists" who end up on Encyclopedia Dramatica and from modders who stick to "normal" conventions. But the question remains, how will it play? -

I look forward to it, the battle a real challenge to my RTS skills, not a stupid AI that cheats or the like. :lol: -
Thank you for pointing that out Dr. D, I actually didn't notice the date of the post before me. Besides, who cares?

That X-Play episode was priceless. And as for our "top psychologist," I'm leafing through another one of her books on Amazon.com, "The Fixer-Upper Man." I haven't even gotten past the preface and already I have to burst out laughing ("You think men really came up with the idea for indoor plumbing?") Yeah... people who are interested in weird trival like me should know that yes, the major figures in modern indoor plumbing were in fact men. My opinion? Ladies, save your money and talk to your mothers again. While your parents aren't infalliable, they're certainly a better source of advice then this quack.

Yeah... about that. You see, while you were busy attack New Zealand, I conquered the rest of the world with my robotic minions. *cues evil laugh followed by the song Brain Freeze* Better luck next time? :lol: -
Next year if not before Hell freezes over. I'm really not that interested as Soulstorm is going to eat a large amount of my time.

Not rule the world and make all of humanity their slaves? Damn. :lol: -
I see sea mines becoming a wise investment for Allied and Soviet commanders (if they're in the game.) Also, it has been said that your units can either be really good on the land or in the water, not both. If you go the amphbious route you can do both but not either very well.

We have enough outside of the game, we don't need any in it.

No. If GW could sue Blizzard, they would have done so already. There is most likely enough difference between the IPs that any copyright claims court would have probably thrown the case out. From your story, it sounds like when GW changed their mind, Blizzard said "No! We did too much on this to just throw away." then proceeded to give their work a different coat of paint. This also must have happened relatively early in the design process as only the Zerg really bear any resemblance to a GW IP. This arguement is over unless you can produce articles proving that GW had a hand in the development of Starcraft. Otherwise, I'm bored so lets go back to discussing how the Zerg will probably be unbalanced in SC2.

^ As the probably most rabid cheap gamer I know, I approve of the above message. :lol:

Transformers and not the Autobots/Decepticon kind either, Hackers, maybe some sort of wacko ore truck that mechamorphs into a repair vehicle or a ambulance. I'm sure I'll think of more as time rolls on.

I'm sure if Games Workshop could make a case to demand royalties from Blizzard they would. However, if that's the case then 20th Century Fox should be able to knock GW for the tyranids' similarities to a certain Xenomorph they own creative rights to and Robert Heinlein should be able to sue them for using the idea of soldiers equipped with powered exo-armor. There are similarities to Warhammer 40k, that can't be denied. However, Starcraft has enough unique fluff to make the game it's own animal. The strained relations between the colonies and the Terran Dominion, the Queen of Blades, the Protoss's struggle to keep from going extinct, all good stories that I hope they continue. Dawn of War is a awesome game, it is the only game that has the dubious honor of never leaving my hard drive once I installed it. But from where I'm sitting and based on what I'm gathering, GW is right next to Palladium Books and Electronic Arts as the snobs of the nerd industry. They own a large chunk of the market and they act like that's a license to abuse the customer as much as they want.

What? Not Yuri? I always thought his emphasis on mind control and biotechnology would be a perfect fit for a future furry empire. :lol: Just swap the Bioreactor for something more plausible, the Grinder for a convientional repair depot, change the units a little, modify the genetic manipulator's power, and maybe add a little overseer unit for the slave miner and you're good to go. That's how I would probably do it if my mod skills didn't suck and I actually had to do it. -
It's hard to mess up a blimp. The only way they could change that would be to make the Kirov more like a plane and less like a airship. I'm still waiting for someone to make the inevitable reference to the song "Turning Japanese," it's too good of a corny joke to pass up it seems. Anyway, I believe we do have two Empire units to dicuss, the Tsunami battle tank and the Seawing Bomber craft. Both are amphibous and both seem to show that the Japanese have multi-functional units.
