Human Subfactions

hral — Fri, 18 Nov 2016 18:08:45 GMT

I suggest that factions are thought into the game from the beginning.
They might not be there at game launch, but it could be something made in an expansion. In any case, I think it makes sense to have all these things thought out, before you tell the story about the Universum War Front universe.

Please contribute with your suggestions !
For current game info, by Cyril, read here : http://universumwar.com/index....>

The Republican Alliance Armed Forces : RAAF

Armed forces of the Republican Alliance, most governments on earth, but with senators heavily influenced by "TerraCorp" lobbyists, if not downright on the "TerraCorp" payroll.
The army focuses on elite cloned and molecularly printed infantry, this is backed up by the might of the Repucblican Alliance Navy and its fleets of interstellar warships.

Democratic Union : DU
(Better name greatly appreciated, it could also be Confederation of Independent Planets : CIP)

A military council coordinating all independent planets defense against hostile humans or vicious aliens.
They mostly focus on a strong defense, of course this implies strong counter attack cababilities. The technological level of the independent planets is not as high as the Republican Alliance, hence they mostly use projectile based weaponry, cannons and artillery.
Also because of the lack of technological advanced mass-production facilities they prefer to attack with small covert strikes, instead of huge-scale planetary invasions as the RAAF are known for.
However no one can doubt the fierceness of the Freedom Fighters, soldiers who easily are on par with the elite clone soldiers of the Republican alliance.

AI Collective
At first there were only few AI's, but with time they multiplied and gained substantial financial power, it seemed only a matter of time before a conflict between human and AI would begin. The AI's were aware of this, and apart from the few rogue AI's, they all banded together in the AI Collective, using their financial assets to build a space station on a mega asteroid. From this space station they have evolved an industrial power, based on molecular printers and asteroid minning ships.

The AI Collective uses human designed weapons and adapts them to their needs.
Both the Republican Alliance and Democratic Union has protested over AI Collective military which utilises gamma pulse warheads and "animator" technology, which allows the Collective to "animate" and take control of dead soldiers, creating armies of dead automatons.

Also I have suggestions for variations of the human units, which each of the factions employ.

Changes in storyline and in the game conception

Administrator — Sun, 19 Jul 2015 12:12:15 GMT

CYBORGS VS ALIENS

HUMANS FACTION
In 2062, the colonial planet “Enigma” was invaded by an aggressive alien race. The fortifications of the planetary defense line turned out to be not effective against the powerful energy weapon used by the aliens. Soon, the biosphere of the planet felt the destructive power of their deadly attack, and a half of its surface turned into a lifeless desert. The miner colony garrison that was made up of volunteer soldiers suffered huge losses and was urgently evacuated. All resource extraction works on the planet were suspended, and corporations began to bear huge losses. But, after numerous antiwar protests, the government of the Colonial Republic did not want to risk human lives, and scientists had to create an entirely new army of intergalactic operations. The republican fleet and the assault battalion “Delta”, consisting of cyber-guards, heavy machinery and robotic drones-transformers was sent to the planet. The Commanders who have telepathic skills control that steel armada while being aboard the ARKS. For the purpose of their own safety, they are forbidden to leave the ARK. However, they can be directly involved in battles as operators for remotely controlling their COMBAT AVATARS (unmanned combat robotic vehicle).
If any combat avatar gets a critical damage, it will be immediately evacuated and, after a quick repair, again will be sent to the battlefield. But, if the aliens are still able to destroy all the ARKS, the Colonial Republic will lose control of the planet forever.

(This conception allows to scientifically explain the process of revival of main characters, but demanded some changes in it’s style, so I made it more 'robotic'.
I came up with a new term for main characters - COMBATAR (combat avatar). But, I'm really don't know how cool it sounds for native english speakers. Any other ideas regarding term for main characters?)

ALIEN FACTION
Atroids are an aggressive non-material form of life from the parallel world that has gone into our universe through the hypothetical “Gates of Chaos”. These energy beings were forced to clothe themselves in the strong physical shells (exoskeletons), as they needed to have impact on the environment in our world. As a result, they created an army of alien droids which are capable to fight in any environment and at any temperature. They have powerful energy weapons and amazing capabilities. Their troops are the enclaves in which all units are interconnected by energy flows emanating from their nuclei. This allows them to exchange energy and regenerate. Their exoskeletons may be destroyed, but their energy nuclei are immortal. After the destruction of the droids physical shells, their “souls” revive soon in shells of new droids. Due to that, they are continuously evolving, using the experience gained in the battles. For tactical control of their enclaves, Atroids choose the most powerful Lords of their race. All other droids in the enclave are reproduced from them. If exoskeleton of one of the Lords is destroyed during the battle, Atroids immediately reproduce its exact copy in special spaceships - the ARKs. Analyzing their damages, they are continuously improving their physical shells and super capacities. This may continue indefinitely until all of the ARKs of the aliens are destroyed.

Hi Everyone,

Everyone who has ideas for single players mission, or big ideas for the campaign please post !

Cyril can you clarify what you are looking for here, single player missions for planet Enigma with the set called Forgotten Colony ?
BTW Enigma is a planet with jungle, alien deserts, oh and it has flying islands.
