Hello everybody,
I'm proud to present you War over Galaxy (WoG) : a partial conversion of the original game which aims to modify the three races and to set a totally new gameplay.
This mod will be dedicated to multiplayer in a first time. In future versions, a new AI will be developed to allow the computer to use new units and tech tree.
Here is the list of the modifications :
The most important thing is that all attacks during the first minutes of the game will have less efficiency. It is always possible to harass the enemy but it will not provoke his destruction any more but only to slow him.
Every games will now last between 15 and 60 minutes.
New units will be added and new abilities are introduced for a lot of units.
Even if a large part of units come from the original game, the tech tree is fully transformed.
New Terrans : Technologized humans
The Terrans are now a human race based on technology, robotics and industry.
The Terrans' development has a medium speed and requires a good management. MULEs become the main resource gatherer. There are expansive and cannot be produced more than 6 times. Even if SCVs could gather resources, they take more time to collect mineral and gas and gathering is less effective. To build a human building (like in reality) is a hard task and is expansive. There is no more possibility to construct a new command center and a new expand to collect more resources. In order to balance this disadvantage, Terrans can produce an APC (Armored Personal Carrier) which could be used as drop-off point. The Terran player will have to move out of his base and to lead military actions to collect faster.
Terrans' technology allows them to build automated reffinery.
At the start of the game, the Terran player will have to choose his tech tree. There is two possibilities :
1) To be focused on infantry and stealth actions.
2) To be focused on industry and robotics.
This choice will arrive very early in the game but doesn't disadvantage the Terran player because some defences could be built without any requirements.
The Terrans could choose to be stealth and mobile when using infantry based strategies. Those ones are really effective against Zergs because Terran infantry's weapons have a bonus versus biological units.
The Terrans could choose to be heavier and powerful with industrial technology and robotics. In this case, the player will have the possibility to make his base as a fortress and to lead powerful assaults.
The ratio between ground and air units is : 65-35.
New Zergs : Social insects
The new Zerg race is now entirely rebuild and become a social insects race and is more focused on mass production strategies.
Social insects are organized around the colony and a reproductive queen.
Now the Zergs will follow this rule : the queen and the hive are vitals !!!
The queen provides 100 supplies and the hive between 70 and 200. The queen's destruction will provoke a collapse in the offensive and defensive Zergs' abilities.
The Zergs' development has a medium speed. It is structured around successive morphs of the hive. The queen herself can evolve to become more powerful or more reproductive. Those evolution must be chosen with a lot of attention because it will direct the morphing possibilities of larvas.
The Zerg player will have to think a lot of is economy. He will have to set strong economical roads to have a lot of resources. Once the Zerg economy is fully implanted, Zergs will have a unlimited capacity to produce unit and will have the possibility to send often large waves of units.
There is no more buildings in the Zerg race ! Zergs will only have the possibility to construct Nydus Network and Canal, Extractor, Spore Crawler and Obstacle.
Strategies in which the player build structures to protect the hive are always possible with the Obstacle. The only utility of this structure is to slow and to turn aside the enemy from the hive. That is a cheap but a useful structure.
Zergs are now able to produce massive and siege units ! The Ultralisk is no longer the Zerg most powerful unit.
The ratio between ground and air units is : 75-25. Zergs are weaker versus air units but this disadvantage is balanced by air and ground targeting units.
New Protoss : Nomads aliens
The Protoss race had benefit of the biggest change. Protoss are now nomads and start the game with the permanent ability to move their base when they want.
The Protoss' command center is the mothership. It is equipped with weapons, hangar, cargo, teleport device, vortex device, can initialize light buildings construction (Assimilator, Photon Cannons) and can produce secondary ships.
Secondary ships are equipped with weapons, cargo and hangar. They have the ability to gather ground and air units in the cargo bay. Some of them can build interceptors but in this case, they haven't any weapons.
The number of those ships are limited.
War ships are produced in a shipyard. Those ships have weapons or abilities which allow them to deploy defensive or offensive capabilities depending on the battle needs. They have a cargo bay too.
Mothership, secondary and war ships are very very slow. To balance that, each ship can activate a powerful reactor to increase the speed 20 times. This reactor has a cooldown of 15 minutes.
The Protoss' development is slow. It is the slowest one of the mod but each Protoss units is powerful and effective.
Almost all Protoss' weapons are both able to target air and ground units.
Protoss' infantry is special because it is not as so diversified as wanted. There is three types of infantry units : soldiers, light robots and heavy robots.
Soldiers are mass producted and cheap. They are slow, not much solid clone robotic soldiers and are equipped with a small laser rifle which fire quickly but don't make a lot of damage.
Light robots are more difficult to produce but allow a medium level attack.
Heavy robots are siege units. Their fire rate is slow but damages are really strong.
Protoss' economy is built with Probes. They gather easily gas but it is more difficult for them to collect mineral despite of their technology. Protoss are dependant of the mothership because it is the only drop-off unit to collect resources.
The ratio between ground and air units is : 35-65. Protoss are definitely a air attack race. It is impossible to imagine making successfully attacks whitout the support of air units.
Unit list (not definitive) :

Heavy Marine : Marine with a chaingun
Medic
Marauder

Several (5-15) new units with new models and animations.
A map pack with 10 maps.
A totally revamp UI for each race.
A bunch of new skins for units which come from SC2.
A good balance between races : the WoG team will work a lot in beta to determine a perfect equilibrium.
A new AI to play WoG in solo.
A long lifetime : WoG will be updated for future sequels published by Blizzard. WoG team will add some of the new Heart of the Swarm units and Legacy of the Void units.
Release date expected : 12-2011 (better) - 12-2012 (worst)
