Total conversion mod idea.
« on: September 30, 2008, 02:48:59 pm »

I just had this idea for a total conversion mod. Since I'm busy with project "bobby", I'm probably not going to be able to do it myself. One can only hope one bored modder comes across the thread and goes "eureka".

A hot cold war total conversion.

Basically, the world is nuked by a global nuclear war, and the remnants ( humans = the americans, the soviets = dwarves, the chinese = elves, goblins = the french, kobolds = north korea ) are rebuilding.
Because the world has been nuked, technology is rare, which could be a great excuse for why there are so little "guns" ( read: crossbows ). Preferably AK47's. All the other weapons could be household/less-household modern tools.
Armour could be kevlar and varients. Many of the monsters could be mutants or radical humans.
That's all I can think of so far.

Don't limit yourself. Make a lot of different entities, not just DF replacements.

There is already a fallout mod, which sounds rather similar.

Although the fallout mod more science-fiction based than what you seem to be planning here.

How are the elves China? Their mutual respect for the environment?

He just means replacing that with that. It doesn't keep the behavior.

Zerging, inferior equipment, Zen.  It fits.

Yeah, the Fallout mod is what you're looking for; with some minor tweaks to that you'd have exactly what you're looking for.
