[nicodede62]

Hi everyone,

With a little delay, here is the beta of my mod "Warhammer 40,000".

Beware, there are a lot of change from the basic game. I would do a description of any changes later.

4) Choose and configure New Random Game or Classic Random Game
5) Enjoy

There are only 3 race at the moment:

-Space Marines-
The Space Marines of the Adeptus Astartes are fearless champions of humanity.
Genetic modification and psycho-conditioning has made them superior to Men in all respects.
These Superhuman, weapons of war are mankinds most elite fighting force.


-Chaos-
Chaos Space Marines are merciless reavers, intent upon slaughter and pillage.
For ten thousand years, those who were once Mankinds greatest defenders, have waged a bloody war on the universe.


-Orks-
Orks infest the galaxy from end to end, living for the moment when they can charge into battle, where their natural toughness and ferocity allows them to excel.
Screaming war cries and firing crude guns, their only goal is to drown the stars in a torrent of violence.


-Imperial Guard- IN WORK
The Imperium of Man is beset on all sides by traitors and aliens. Across countless warzones, the warriors of the Imperial Guard fight a desperate war to hold back humanity's enemies, resolute Generals spending lives and ammunition at an equal rate.



Eldars, Tau and Tyranids coming soon.

- Configure your New Random Game -



1) For beta, use only small or medium map.
2) For the moment, use only three players maxi.
3) I recommend for beta of just used a map without water.
4) Recommended only if you want a balanced map.
5) To familiarize yourself gently with the mod, you can pretty much start the game without.
6) Unused, it can remain checked.
7) MANDATORY, otherwise the map generated would be very ugly ...
8) MANDATORY, no climate generated.



1) Not mandatory but strongly recommended for more fun.
2) Recommended for multiplayer....[;)]
3) Not AI for now. Already preset.
4) For those who like to adventure.
5) As we can not choose which races to start. The races not completed have a small "soon" on their names. Generate a new map to get the desired races. Do not use them
6) Occasionally, the maps are generated without trees. I do not know why, but be careful.

When you have succeeded in generating the desired part. Go in edit now



1) Click on "Reg"
2) Choose the color for different armies by clicking on the race concerned ( follow the arrow ). It is not mandatory, you can leave it as is.
3) You can rename your pions. Example: Company for space marines, Horde for chaos and Waaagh for Orks.
4) Ditto for the HQ, it's not mandatory either.
5) VERY IMPORTANT Click here " Set All SF Ppl" for all present races in game. Example: After having press this button for the Orks, you select the Eldars and you click the button again.
6) You can set in "diplomatics", if the players are already at war or if there are alliances.
7) You can exit by clicking "Main" and you can now start your game [>:] [:D].

Sorry if this may seem hard for some but it is necessary to enjoy the mod.

It's the same procedure with a at.zip, it does not erase any file from the original game [;)].
It simply installs my various changes (sound, graphic, scenarios) at right locations.

[Josh]

Thx for the update Nicodede.
I seem to have lost the link to your French wargaming site, just curious if you had an AAR over there? Care to post that link here?

This AAR is unfortunately on hold, I have no news of my opponent [:(].
I am looking for a human opponent, are you interested ?

[Josh]

Thx for the links and the invitation, unfortunately I have to decline, I don't have that much time on my hands.
I checked your links and your opponent has posted his last update a month ago ... yeah that sucks when an opponent disappears into the blue void [:(]

[parusski]

Great, I will give this a spin. Thanks for your work nicodede62.

[nicodede62]

Thank you especially to you for your support.
The Imperial Guard is started, millions of people ready to sacrifice for the Emperor.

The Company commander and an Stormtrooper squad with its upgrade.




I think this race will attract many players, she strongly resembles the model of the armies of World War II [;)].

[nicodede62]

New imperial troops arrive:

A Lord Commissar, a Ministorum Priest, the infantry and the heavy support that goes with ( Heavy mortar, heavy bolter > autocannon and Missile launcher > Lascannon )

amazing, love the aars - any update on the mod?

[nicodede62]

Hello,

Not at the moment, I had to reinstall windows Xp. And unfortunately, my children take me much time also.

Anyway, I have to revisit the fight that was too random. The Imperial Guard is over, but the update that I have, is not finished at all.
I also wait to see the work of Vic on its new engine and the changes it will bring to the games.

[noelsacid]

Thank you - Great news that the mod is alive I'll keep an eye on these pages.

Is it possible to reupload the work in progress mod file in the original post, as the mediafire link doesnt work.

best

[nicodede62]

No problem, this version is playable but there are no changes that I made ​​recently. My second post indicating the changes are not updated either.
There's even a bonus scenario (human against human) with Orks against the Imperial Guard.
