New Race Idea

[peterrab]

For campaigns, new race melee maps, or whatever. If anyone uses it, please give me credit, and post the map since I'd like to see It's kind of a mix-and-match of themes but I feel it works. Feedback is welcomed.

[Subject-154]

Sounds good. Could I beta test it when the Beta version comes out? :3

 

[peterrab]

I don't know if I'll ever make them real races in-game but if I do, sure.

If anyone wants to use these races for a custom race map, feel free but please give me credit for the ideas.

 

[Slaydon]

you got alot in your head, dont you?

 

[peterrab]

Yeah

I might add some more later.

 

[supertoinkz]

Must....see....screenshots....and....make it....in....a...table....so....i'lll....read....it

 

[L2love]

give more detail if u will thats the only reason id use a race is for the mass amount of detail =]

 

[AIagremm]

I have an idea for your titan race. Perhaps they will have only one building, in which you can build other titans. And these titans(you can have only limited number of every unit building titan)build units.
Another variant - The titans are still units but this time you can build only one titan of each type. They allow creation of differnt units in the main building.
