V2 Launch Site (Map editor only)

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Well, i was using the scud launchers for one campaign, the thing is that there is no Soviets on those maps... Only German and Japanese... So i need to replace the soviet scuds to this German plataform of rockets to these maps not look strange.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

What should be the in game size of these things?

[Puss_in_Boots]

It's about as big as a building one tile should do it.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

1x1?

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Well i was making a draft of it being 1x2

I'm still not sure if i do the mobile plataform version or the silo one...

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Perhaps reduce the scale to be like AOG - human ICBM

The mobile V-2 plataform would be this.

I like the mobile platform better.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Ok made them:

Is it good to go?

[Puss_in_Boots]

Uh the soldiers must scale up to normal in game infantry.

Love the rocket design though.

[Midonik]

I propose no soldiers since when there is artillery etc there is no either.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Well scale up soldiers isn't a thing to discuss since they would be as big as the rocket itself... But no problem on removing them...

As V2 launch were always a large operation, is easier to figure out where did poped these few soldiers than trucks and tents, also i guess it would be better to remove that vehicle from the background aswell like if the soldiers had evacuated the place to launch it.

What you guys think?

[Midonik]

Yeah just do it. There is no excuse for an artillery piece to have no operators, but there is no. What would there be any in here?

[Stratego (dev)]

yes i suggest removing vehicle and operators.
other that that - very nice!
if we have final stats we can put in

anyone tries to json it?

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Ok, here it is, it is suposed to have same stats than scuds, but i guess we could change them in something... Any ideas?

Also @Stratego (dev), can you upload scud jsons here?

[Stratego (dev)]

also some tech dependancy?

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

I think not, if i remember, they only own 2 jsons, one for pack and unpacked version (A and B) and nothing else beside transformation effect... But i could not look on that recently to confirm.

[Stratego (dev)]

i mean v2 should have a tech like "roketry" or something to be a required tech to build

and i dont hink it should be only mapeditor unit.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Ah i see, well if the requirements of the tech are high enough i don't see problems, but i think other nations would require super weapons aswell if you plan to put these on open matches.

[Stratego (dev)]

i dont see problem that only Germans have this - in reality they owned such rocket only.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Yes indeed, but that would create a huge advantage to Germans on the long run if they are added on the same way as scuds, i actually need them both to keep working on the same way for campaigns, but for open matches... That mechanic would need to be changed for them... Maybe for a one use only unit... And idk how much i would need to adjust on some maps for that...

[Stratego (dev)]

one use only unit

good idea.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

Is there such effect? If it is possible to remove or disable the attack of the unit afterwards without killing itself or disable movement... For like 4 to 6 turns... Would be perfect for these rockets.

[Stratego (dev)]

i understood a one use unit, self destructs on attack as demolition ship does.

[Midonik]

Well you can always make the attack an ability an give cooldown, close enough. Otherwise not.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

i understood a one use unit, self destructs on attack as demolition ship does.

The rocket is, but the plataform could be used again, when i mean one use is to actually give it a cooldown after the attack so a new rocket could be prepared to be launched. It is like if the unit attacks and self inflict curse afterwards for example...

[Stratego (dev)]

platform vanish too.

[DoomsdayDragonfire]

I think that make it vanish might make it bad, we should think something else...

Is possible to make its ability work with bonuses? Also, the ability timeout might be very useful here, we can give the ability 8 turns cooldown with 6 turns timeout.. That might prevent the transform/undo bug of cooldown reset i guess...
