3rd team???

[doomagent13]

just an idea i had...

there are aliens and humans, so why not machines or robots?

[Thorn]

The search function may not be the best thing on the planet but STILL USE IT.  

[PIE]

search for protoss.... because that is ALWAYS where this discussion leads..

[Seffylight]

I was thinking that we've got, like, humans, right? And we've got, like, buggy aliens.

So now we need a third race that, y'know, use psychic powers and cybernetic enhancements.

Your thoughts?

[doomagent13]

search for protoss

those r months old
and a different thing

im suggesting a team of machine-like intelligences

[vcxzet]

tremulous starts after humans escaped from the machines (once the machines was servants of man Now they are the ruler of them)
A mad scientist called Kranger in collony ship F012A suggested to use a clone army to find new places to colonize. Since there was only a small amount of humans. Finally they found a nice planet to colonize. But the only thing on this planet was the remains of another race. They left it for one reason - ALIENS. Only hope for humans became that planet and their clone army.
They had limited supplies. And those aliens were less intelligent but more violent. And they started to evolve as they interact( kill ) with more humans.

if you write the code ill play it  

[Taiyo.uk]

Sounds interesting but...

1. Nearly all current maps are designed for two teams
2. Lots of work is required for a 3rd team - 2d, 3d, animation, sound, code, maps for 3 teams
3. There is already much work to be done on other features, including resolving balance issues, see http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2242


If enough peope want this feature then they could work together to build a mod, but I doubt it'll be included in trem any time soon, if ever.

[doomagent13]

tremulous starts after humans escaped from the machines (once the machines was servants of man Now they are the ruler of them)

so why couldnt the machines come back to attempt to subjugate the humans?

a three-way map would be horrible-not for the confusion of who is on wat team, but the score window wouldnt be able to hold three lists AND there would be problems when one team lost and there are still two other teams

if i had any idea how to do this, i would try to, but i dont have any ideas

[Neo]

The main problem is how you'd get a team to fit in not what they are. As atm you have humans-slow but ranged, and aliens-fast but melee.

An idea might be to have a 3rd team that basically lives off the other 2, by having a weak base class and that is able to take over the bodies of the recently deceased, giving you some/all of whatever that person was capable of.

[holyknight]

or how about the middle?
little bit ranged, and little bit fast.
Little bit ranged sounds kind of confusing though...
this one should also have the base they have to build faster

[benplaut]

or how about the middle?

So... shotguns and flamers  

It's a decent idea, but i doubt it would ever happen.  For now, I'd much prefer a HvH...

[temple]

VAMPIRES!

[DIGI_Byte]

What happened to our initial mod idea!??

Artifact

humans Vs
alien Vs
protoss

to recover the artifact

[holyknight]

or how about the middle?

haha, if that IS true, then I would pick them (shotgun and flamer favorite )
for you Digi_Byte, you mean, like a mission? Is that like CTF, where one gets the artifact (like a flag) and takes it away?

[Kuru]

Vampires robots protoss blaaaah. We need DALEKS!  

http://www.interocitor-media.com/tardis/dalek/schem_side.jpg

Their taunt could be "EXTERMINATE!". In Doctor Who they shoot gas that destroys everything. That would be kinda middle range, of course there should be a long range laser cannon. They aren't that fast but not that slow either. Perfect! Builders would be weak and slow daleks.

edit. Snakes would also be cool.

[Stof]

We need nali war cows for the third race. Nuff said

[Glunnator]

DALEKS!!! YEY!

Or maybe Everything!

A Super-party map collection, desighned for the mod of SUPER UNIVERSE TIMEWARS.

Hummies vs aliens vs daleks vs cybermen(as 'robot intelligence' thing) vs snakes vs... er... timelords? vs.... ooh yeah vampires! vs zombies, vs... er... vs.... em.... A different range of other worldly aliens! (complete different race) and then... vs.... er... vs..... um.... er..... ehhh.....


Lol

[Caveman]

Why not robotized PONIES

[Taiyo.uk]

Why not robotized PONIES

YES!!!11oneone3l3venty0nw!!11 PONIES!!1!1

[Kuru]

Robotized ponies  :eek: That's scary.

Why not humans vs aliens vs BLACKHOLES

ps. this is getting kinda stupid  :x

[holyknight]

how about mutants?

[dretchfeed]

Five words: Attack of the Fluffy Bunnies.

[Neo]

What about hybrids?

Mommy Tyrant + Daddy Human = ?

[Taiyo.uk]

[aiden]

if u think of the size of the banes wow we would need a attack of hungry muntant dogs 5 times the size of thie ickl cute big teeth bunnys




mabee mutant dog + the big ickl bunnys = ickl big cute man eating mutant bunnyog's            

[Rippy]

Wow, you guys are neglecting the single most ingenious idea.

The third race is genetically augmented WW2 Wehrmacht soldiers, transported through time to combat the alien menace. As far as storyline is concerned, the Wehrmacht successfully eliminate all aliens, then proceed to put all ethnic and religious marines into concentration camps. Then Herbert, the one dretch who survived without the Wehrmacht noticing, sabotages the German execution machines to free all the marines. Then the commanding Marine, Sgt. Smith, lives a wonderful life having wacky adventures with Herbert. There's a television show spinoff, and millions of dollars worth of Herbert and Smith merchandise. They'd even have their own theme song.

"Ohhhhhhhh ittttttt's Herbert and Smith, Herbert and Smith, the wacky adventures of Herbert and Smith,
One eats with a mouth, one absorbs nutrients through a membrane,
And together they get revenge on those evil german Nazis!
One's got two fists, the other a poisonous tongue-like appendage..."

.....

Shut up, it's a good story.

[holyknight]

ooh ooh ooh!
How about those characters from Warhammer? Come on... you know you want to!
Also, maybe the new thing for these new race is that they have to PICK up the items.
Like in AVP2. Humans buy (right? I'm not sure...) Aliens melee attack, and predators pick up.

...meh...

[Seffylight]

Herbert and Smith 4evar.

[Dustin]

The Third Race:

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Men!!
[Protect your crops, Confuse your neighbours!]

[|Nex|TrEmMa]

It's already humans vs aliens, therefore Predator needs to be added.

[Tarhead]

One word, Phantoms. The Phantoms from Final Fantasy The Spirits Within. They can walk though doors without activating them, they are slow but do high damage when they attack with limits to they range.    

[Tarhead]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy:_The_Spirits_Within the link to wiki flie

Small type

A big one

[Rippy]

Oh, and one more thing: The main disadvantage to the GANG (Genetically Augmented Nazi Germans) is that all players continuously yell "Granate!", as per this ytmnd. Sucks when other players hear you going "Granate! Granate! Runter, Granate!" as you try to sneak up on them.

(lol, what an awesome coincidence that it stands for GANG)

[Tarhead]

One thing how is this about the topic?

[techhead]

I would like some mechanized race.
A laser cutter would be real nice, especially how you can elegantly paint a line across the opponent's face.

[Bajsefar]

A race of ruler-wielding nerds. überfast, uberstrong, with ubermelee and uber ranged weapodfghfgjhgkjnhlkjhk no. this is getting faaaaaaar behind the third joke http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=third+joke[/url]

[Mikiupdown2]

The Third Race:

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tube Men!!
[Protect your crops, Confuse your neighbours!]

Biggest win ever.


But the 3rd class should be Flying Spaghetti Monster (http://www.venganza.org/) clones. They would have god like powers and can create anything using there noodly appendage. They can also pause time and go invisible.

[techhead]

I think a good third race would be comedians who aren't funny.
Example weapons could be the aforementioned "third joke"

[PIE]

Lol... actually I was wrong.. this discussion went nowhere at all!

Unless you really have a solid idea.. and are willing to do it, and test it yourself.. loose hope.

[vcxzet]

if some1 adds 3rd race I will request 4th

...you win the thread.

[doomagent13]

Unless you really have a solid idea.. and are willing to do it, and test it yourself.. loose hope.

i might try if i knew where to start

how is a mod, like tremx, made anyway, and how does trem find it (the mod)?

[Tarhead]

For the phantoms idea I got a solid base and growth tree(phantom units).

Growth Tree

Builders(50 hp) -> can turn into builders+(75 hp) at s2
Builders+ can attack but normals can't
Builders -> can turn into Small attackers(50 hp) (half human size)

Small attackers -> can turn into Small attacker+(100 or 75 hp) at s3

All small attackers(and+type) can turn into Middle attackers(150 hp)

Middle attackers can turn into Middle attackers+(200 hp) at s2 or Large Attacker(500 hp) at s3

Middle attackers+ can fly so they can kill flying people.

But here is the catch you need to suck the health out of humans or aliens(high damage). So when you get 200 hp you can grow into a middle attacker+ but when your health goes lower than 200 you ungrow to normal middle attacker.

Phantoms Building

1. Phantom Flooder
-makes a pool of health sucking goo and slow you down actives when person or alien passes it

2. Phantom Wall (hard to make)
-a wall that hurts alot if you step thought, phantom can go thought without a worries.

3. Phantom Grabber
-noodle like thing attacks you holds on( + )

4. Gaia
-the center makes spirits, build points (ei   or for phantoms)

5. Phantom Spawner
- I think you will this one

[Rippy]

I think the third team should be people who expect to have meaningful discussions on an online video game forum.

[holyknight]

okay how about this
aliens = tyranids
humans = imperial guards
so the third should be another interesting race
(I'm not really a warhammer 40k fanatic, but I still like it)

[Rawr]

ZOMBIES!!!! AKA THE UNDEAD!! better yet... UNDEAD BABIES!!

look at it and all its qute ness

[Tarhead]

I think mine is the best so far....

[PIE]

I think mine is the best so far....

I don't think anyone wants to directly rip off that movie and sort of patch it into tremulous... I like the vampire mode kind of idea and think it could easily be added into tremulous either as a mod or class somewhere.. but a whole team based around the phantoms idea just creates a lot of the issues people have had with a lot of other suggestions.. like another flying class etc.

[Captain Ventris]

Then Herbert, the one dretch who survived without the Wehrmacht noticing, sabotages the German execution machines to free all the marines.

WHOA.

My Grandfather liberated concentration camps in WWII.

And his name was Herbert.

.... is.. he a dretch?.... how about you?

[Tarhead]

One thing PIE I make up all of the buildings up and some of the Phantoms

[techhead]

Either sentient machines, or space zombies.
Or space nazis.
Because machines would be cool, and no one objects to killing nazis or zombies.

[Monkey]

ok ok...
We can't we have humanoids or arachnids, and it can't look absoloutly shite.

Erm... Um...

Fluffy Bunnies!!! Rank based Fluffy Bunnies, with little medic or engineer hats. Then we can have Assault Bunnies which have jaws twice as big as themselves and can eat 3 common goons in a sitting

Oh, and the human screws tyrant thing is just scary. And wrong. So wrong.

[techhead]

So...
Sentient machines?
Or...
Non-arachnid, non-humanoid aliens...
I guess fluffy bunnies count as non-arachnid, non-humanoid.

[Quaoar]

SC is far too deeply seated in my mind. There is no alternative to human, alien, and humanoid techno-race!

Then again, I think Warhammer 40k was too deeply seated in Blizzard's mind, considering the gigantic rip-off. But they had other races anyway.

[OverFlow]

[Quaoar]

Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death

I would immediately switch my main race and pwn all.

[vcxzet]

Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death
Carnivorous Pink Bunny of Death

[techhead]

Seriously, either machines or some other alien.
However, another alien race would be hard without ripping off the Covenant, Protoss, or Predator.
Perhaps an idea would be to take a fantasy race and change the concept, I.e. from Warhammer or WarCraft.

[Rawr]

Then Herbert, the one dretch who survived without the Wehrmacht noticing, sabotages the German execution machines to free all the marines.

WHOA.

My Grandfather liberated concentration camps in WWII.

.... is.. he a dretch?.... how about you?

ventris is just a fatty granger xD

OMG. So all we have to do is change a couple little things, and my storyline is historically accurate. Ownage.

I'll just make it so Herbert was a human who got turned into a dretch by the nazis, which explains why he wants to save the marines. This story is flawless, people, it's movie material!

[Mr.POP]

Make the race flying robotic/organic for 2 extra races that side with aliens and humans and they can evolve/andvance and aliens can use them as transports and humans can pilot mounted turrets on the back with plasma canons for aliens and flamers for humans etc.............................................. ................................................. ................................................. ................................................. ..................... NOT PINK BUNNIES OF DOOM BLUE ONES WOULD WORK OF COURS IF U WANT

[techhead]

I think a 3-way game would lead to interesting strategies.
Pick on the weakest player for your stage kills, or the two s2's team up and kill the s3.

[Tarhead]

Hey PIE, will you be happy if I get permission of the makers of Final Fantasy for the Phantoms to use in the Tremulous?

[Glunnator]

I think a 3-way game would lead to interesting strategies.

Yeah, i think 3-way games can get very interesting. something like you totally pwnd the aliens with your human team, only to hear your base has been destroyed by a single carnivorous killer bunny and the rest of the bunnys have surrounded you... Lollage! ^^

[holyknight]

free for alls would be freakig neat with 3rd race included XD

[stalefries]

Giant pink bunny!

[Taiyo.uk]

Ummm.... OverFlow's 3D particle system got a little out of hand?

[holyknight]

Holy crap that's a humoungous rabbit! Is that an actual big thing, or is the background just a toy?

[stalefries]

Read the article. It's a real giant sculpture of a pink stuffed bunny.

As will everyone else. Including me.
But this is the lazybones way, which Im all for.

what the fuck? what is with these strings of necros?

[Plague Bringer]

about a third team; which is gay.

[holyknight]

woot micr-- i mean. necron-- i mean, necro.
Crap I've been playing DOW too much :/

[A_Total_noob]

OMG, I have the inspiration !

The third faction should be...



...



PONIES !!!!!!!1111111!!11!!1!one!



What ? Already mentioned...? Ach...

[techhead]

I will apologize for the string of necros.
Someone asked about a third team, he got flamed because it has been talked about before, and I gave him some links.

[Nux]

For those who might be taking this seriously: The game is only big enough for 2 races. Unless the third race is the afore mentioned fluffy bunnies. They're plenty small

[techhead]

How about life sucking shadows that do not collide with players or buildings?
They won't take up much space either.

[f0rqu3]

Unless the 3rd faction were zombie mutant android halfbreed lycanthropic wampyri biker chicks. Then it would be totally friggin' not-ghey. Max Hetero and the Bugs meet the Undead Robot Monster Riot!Grrlz from Space. Srysly.
