The Idea thread

sounds great

Norinrad
Gnome Rifleman: ... So, entering a building will make it able to defend, entering machine will make additional attack.

What about if the building/machine die? Are the gnome come out or he will die together? If yes, i think it should give bonus hp too..

Maybe like a burrow?

almost all meele attackers have normaln dmg so this "gnomish destroyer" must have medium armor

I dunno for the rifleman that can enter machine and building, a kind of engineer unit could be interesting; I mean a guy that is the only one who can repair engines and buildings, that can enter them, and maybe build some stuff, as those energy spot (those could work as moonwell) I spoke about in the other topic and then, build thingies as ammos limited mini tower kind and rockets they can launch after building :]

What about a unit called Gnomish Taskmaster or something, it will be used to boost your army with auras. My idea is that it will have 2 auras and 1 spell. The only problem is that you will only need one but i still think it is a pretty good and unique idea. I don't have any ideas for the auras since i don't know what the rest of the tech tree will be like.

oooo... looking at your Gnome Rifleman model... since he has a double-barrelled gun, would it be possible to give the Gnome Rifleman units a double attack? like, one shot after the other? then reload both barrels, the another two shots one after the other? oh and the tank is.... nuts... it's like the Apocalypse from Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 LOL make it shoot the projectile from the Human Battleships with a burning oil type of upgrade available =) call it "Oil Filled Cannonballs" or something like that LOL so they burn the ground ... I dunno... hehe, second rant over =D

Gnome Bomb-maker(i need a better name):

He has a weak melee attack and low hp and armor, and costs only a little bit of gold, but he has abilities to make up for it.


Place Bomb: It would take like half a second to cast then one second later it would explode dealing 500 damage to all units around it, even friendly. This move could be used very stragetically.


Flashbang: It would just Blind everyone near him, making them miss more often.

The bomb-maker would be a caster/suicide unit.


And I think it would be cool if there was a unit like an empty mechanical something and depending on which unit that climbs in it, it would changes what the mechanical something can do. Say the rifleman gets in, then it gets a ranged attack. The bomber gets in it has a ranged splash attack, etc.

I think it'd be better to be maybe a Grenadier, who launches bombs (including maybe smokebombs, flashbangs like in Counter-strike and remote bomb). Instead of a suicidal unit.


Edit: You know what else, maybe you Norinrad could put a lil goblin race in the campaign coz I saw a map of Gnomeregan where there was somthing called the Goblin Gate, dunno.

How about gnome Bombardier? We have model already I agree with Shadowy Crafter, it won't be suicidal unit. I would rather it to be warrior caster units (like dryad).

The Riflemans within machine/building will pop up when the machine/building gets killed. We won't stand out much from the standards you know

looking at the maps for missions 2 and 3, now I'm thinking even more back to my first rant XD I guess it's too early for me to talk now, but MAYBE... just MAYBE, if missions 2 and 3 are defence missions (they look that way anyways), then, MAYBE any tunnels that you lose control off in mission 2, the enemy will already have control of in mission 3... meh.. again.. I guess it's too early for me to speculate heh..... /endrant

The mission 2 will be defense AoS styled mission.
It will happen in one tunnel really (the main biggest one)

The mission 3 will be half RPG, half Build and Destroy mission.

My god! Today I died and went to modelling heaven! I mean, I've found an model viewer for WoW and what I've seen there was just awsome I've checked all the models there but one thing interested me the most: any model related to gnomes! This is what I've found:

Here is, some kind of gnomish-bot. No idea how it's called couse just GnomeBot:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/1c11bcf1.gif
I suggest tier 1 basic melee unit:]

Another model I've found, probably many of you know it:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/dcb7fafb.gif
MechanoStrider Rider. Tier 2 light ranged unit (after some modifications).

Another probably well knowed model to WoW players:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/3a9f21cb.gif
Gnomish Spider Tank. Tier 2 medium ranged unit with some abillities

Now the big one :
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/252e63ad.gif
Gnome Pounder. Heavy tier 3 melee unit.

Now the three small ones :
The Gnome Alert Bot
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/ae833152.gif

The Gnome Boom Bot
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/7d6b3fe2.gif

Mechanical Chicken
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/Norinrad/837ccea3.gif

I don't know about the first one, the alert bot. Probably will be something like campaign unit wnich is rescuable or smth.

The Boom Bot can be summonable by an unit. Maybe Bombardier?;->

Mechanical Chicken will be summonable unit by one of the main heroes. Will look a lil' different to look more offensive than funny^^

BTW sorry for double post...

Norinrad...

1.- Maybe it can be called the "Cyber-claw" since it has those big clutches in its hands.

2.- Strider'd Cool for a mounted unit.

3.- The Spider. Another mounted unit? Maybe slower than the strider.

4.- This could be perfect for an ultimate unit for the gnome race. Like Tauren for Orcs (in Wc3), Chimaera for NE and Frost Wyrm for Undead, etc....

5.- Think in this... A rpg map where you have to get in an enemy base and avoid the Alert Bots or they'll send an alarm sign and start freakin out with the alarm noise. Just an idea

6.- An obvious suicidal unit (summonable maybe)

7.- A mechanical critter?

Hehe. I already posted my ideas at the "Tinker City" thread. My bad. But here's the link again for my techtree idea. Hope you like it!

Are you will include Sicco Thermaplugg in the Campaign storyline? He's the bad guy.
