I just had an idea for a mod: I pretend to do a mod based on nanoblobs where the only thing you can make are sheeps (even the commander will be a sheep if I discover how to do it

) and you attack your enemys by detonating your sheeps near their sheeps. (sheeps will have their explosions powered up a lot). Anyone thinks its worth making and submiting?

The very, very, very, very first version of NB was like that. Only the Sheep also had lasers. It sucked. It was incredibly one-dimensional and lame. But an AI would've kicked any human's butt, so it was certainly a "success" in that sense

Its why they are explosions instead of lasers... the key for victory would be to create a chain of explosions among the enemy sheeps winhout letting they do the same. Then you have almost nothing to fight it its then you make the most briliant strategys

Good luck with that

Sounds like an interesting mod, if you can make it, feel free to...

Shadowsage · Post by **Shadowsage** » 04 Dec 2006, 03:28

sounds rather simple. Make the commander the shepherd, disable everything except sheep, use the invader attack as it's Primary attack, create a radius of whatever, change the explosion FX and power, and voila! Your mod, what sounds a bit like checkers on crack.

Also, you will want to use the Crawlingbomb script from AA.

This must be incredibly easy if i understand it...>.>

Freud would go crazy with all of the religious undertones here.

It was one of the little jokes put into the mod

Every Extend Sheep, eh?

So I will make it.

How would you make that end? A player can hide any number of sheep in the crevices of the map and create metastases from those. You'd need to have 100% map control to make sure you exterminated the enemy.

Give all of them radar and a jammer? Then make the jammer cost more to run than the sheep produces. Possibly cloak also, but that should be even more expensive.

+1 to deci

very expensive cloaking would add a nice dynamic to the maneuvering around attacking imo

Wouldn't it go all slooooow with all the explosions. the lag would be huge, and the comps would crash

Radar still needs a clear line.

Depends on the complexity of the explosions.
