[Insanegame27]

I've changed a tiny bit of the combat mechanics. I split turns into two phases. Movement and action. When one side has a movement phase, the other has an action page. Actions are resolved before movement. Like Tom Clancy's Endwar. That's all, the base stats are the same.

So it goes: Player Movement -> Enemy Action -> Player Action -> Enemy Movement? Or what?

Consider it as this: One side (players or the enemy) attacks, then the other side moves. End of turn. Next turn, the team which was attacked (and subsequently moved) gets to attack from their new position at the enemy mechs before they then move.


Patch has been applied and I'm thinking of doing something to buff the Hamkar (USEC, PMs)

[Twinwolf]

Say, Insanegame, did you see the PM I sent you?

[Chevaleresse]

Currently filling out the app. Trying to decide between a sort of engineer type, who'd usually end up being a somewhat frustrated/exhausted voice of reason, or someone who started as an Astolfo expy.

Do the Hamkar Artillery Mechs have an increased accuracy buff and an Evasion Debuff?

I do have questions though - can I take 2 top weapons, and if so, can I fire them in the same turn? If so, what benefit does taking a 2-slot weapon give?

Pilot:
Name: Tam Barl Daar
Age: 19
Gender: F
Appearance: A fierce, slender woman from the poorer south of Terralba. Born to immigrants from Karliova, she wears the swirling tattoos of her tribe with pride. Her skin is pale, and her hair is copper coloured, pulled into a tight bun for wearing under her helmet.

Her uniform is adorned with a ancient bronze helmet, and a necklace of carved stones and large animal teeth rests on her chest. A thick bronze dagger rests at her hip.
Background: Her family immigrated from Karliova a long time ago, settling in the south of Terralba as farmers and hunters. They never forgot their grudge against Sarapul, however. When war broke out, Tam Barl Daar felt it was a good chance to maybe kill some Sarapulians for her ancestors.

Tam is highly superstitious, with a range of small rituals and habits that sometimes bemuse her companions. Much like her ancestors, she values mobility and ambush tactics as opposed to fighting toe-to-toe - and that goes for all conflicts. If someone makes her mad, they rarely see her coming.

Has been previously suspected of running a still.

I'm sure you can equip as many weapons as you have slots, but you can fire with only one weapon a turn, which leads to point three...

2-slot weapons are better if you can fit them-they are superior to the single slot weapons in most ways, tho slightly less accurate-because you can only fire one. If you play the scout mech, it's to your advantage.

Of course, you could go 60mm cannons/spear rockets, but it's not going to be useful-the 100mm is totally better than the cannon (minus 5% accuracy), while the rockets are completely outmoded-even if you wanted the rockets for range 1 attacks, plain melee would be better. You would only go this route if you really valued accuracy, like to a ridiculous degree.

The Hamkar gets

Mobility: -10%

To it's evasion stat. Is slow. :V

Also, it gets no accuracy buff directly, but turret weapons have very high base accuracy baked in.

...

This is all based on what I remember from the old game. I'm sure someone will correct me if things have changed...

I see... that makes sense. I don't really remember the previous game.

I'll go with a 100mm cannon, and if it turns out to be the worst option, I will know who to blame.
It'll be you.
I'll blame you.
Forever.
You monster.

She would, but it blew up in an incident that was 100% not her fault.
