After fiddling with the raws for my own benifet, I decided to work on a big mod again. All I need is an idea. Who has one?

[Meph]

Make different embark races, specific buildings and playtypes for elves, humans and/or goblins/kobolds. Of course this idea has nothing to do with the fact that I could absolutely need such a setup

But seriously, big mods are either total conversion, and you just need a topic, or an increase in DF, in which case you have to contest with 5-6 big mods out there already.

[Putnam]

More's always good.

Hehehe.

[Meph]

Please excuse the offtopic here, but putman, what is up with your avatar ? I could swear that it switches from a teamfortress heavy to some duchebag x-men now and then...

To add something construtive: Alien versus Predator versus Marines ? 3 races, sci-fi setting, playing on a  desolate planet... I think that would be new, if you dont count the Necromunda/Warhammer 40k mod out there.

Or Dragon Age TC. Or way better: Planescape Tormet TC.

[NecroRebel]

Way back in 40d, there was a mod called CatSplosion, which made a playable race of sapient, nonanthropomorphic feral housecats. Remake it for the new era.

I've been considering, off and on, doing so myself, but I kind of got into a rut with DF and got bored with it, so for the past month or so I've not been playing it, and not been interested in making mods for it.

avatar your the humans and the Navi are the elves rival companys or some sought of colonists could be humans
adamantine=unobtanium

something steampunky

Hm, Meph's AvPvM and sackhead's Avatar ideas sound neat. Maybe I could do a big sci-fi crossover thing?

Races I can think of that I could add:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Space Marines--Probably going to be inspired by Warhammer 40k, becasue then they'd make great late-game enemies. Great weapons and armor, big, strong, etc.
Xenomorphs--Earlier-game enemy. Sieges, ambushes, maybe babysnatchers. Syndromey blood.
Predators--Another later-game enemy. More honorable, a bit less powerful.
Na'vi--Usually peaceful, but when they're angry...well, do you remember how Avatar ended? Like that, except you don't get the attack choppers.
Daleks, Cybermen--Someone already made these.
Formics--From Ender's Game. A hostile race.
Humans--The playable race. Small, weak, but has fragments of all other races' tech, as well as its own. Not much good, overall. Have Fun!

I'd appreciate more ideas.

Lord of the RINGS! LORD OF THE RINGS!!! man we can so do a "You shall not PASS!" moments, but allow playablity of all good races (humans, hobbits, dwarves, humans. are there any others? not sure)

But if your doing something big like LOTR you are welcome to nab stuff from REGENERATION, I got some complex reactions and workshops that might speed the process of getting started easier.

EDIT:
I bet we'd all play as the dwarves I'd sure try the humans just as long as they had different playstyles. Dwarves would have throwing axes, and I don't remember were there crossbows in LOTR? I only remember humans and elves using bows, and goblins.

At least he only has two. Loud Whispers has like 8 different ones he switches between at the drop of a hat.

[Nopkar]

What about "Automatons" or something like that. some people have tried to do additions but no one seems to get it just right yah know?

[Tierre]

Mod around Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura game. Steampank dwarfs versus magic user elves with humans and orcs in the middle. It is more 19th century though. But can be really cool - and they had automatons too:)

[Reudh]

Why not an entirely original mod?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Why not an entirely original mod?

Define "entirely original."

[Reudh]

As in a mod not deriving from another IP, even if said IP is free to use.

Like a creature you come up with on your own. Ideas you have.


I dunno... really. It's your choice.

[psychomantits]

Islands with playable pirates, corsairs and crazy amount of natives.
