Every time I read or think about twilight valley now all I can think about is how awesome it would turn out in the Future Wars version.
The VDF and Claw factions are so well developed now in my notes, if I had the modding and artistic skills I could make a game out of it.
...
VDF has no power plants, so can build unlimited defenses and structures, but has a unit limit based on the amount of Arboriums you construct. This makes the Valley Defense Forces advantaged in a defensive situation.
Claw has no unit limit, so can build unlimited soldiers and vehicles, but has energy to power it's structures and defenses based on the amount of Talon Cores you construct. Understandably, this makes Claw ideal in offensive situations.
VDF Heroes:
Great Haven (aka Great Valley)
- Starts with Littlefoot's Brontodon 'Doc', a massive four legged walker which possesses a powerful frontal shield that can be activated at will to protect your army from enemy fire. The main weapons (ie. the Exo Cannons) don't activate until you construct Bigmouth's Armoury and a Battle Center.
- Great Haven's armies are focused on technological superiority, hence the Battle Center and Brontodon walkers are 25% cheaper then the other factions of VDF.
"Me and 'Doc' are here to help,"
Dawn Haven
- Starts with Sonic Ruby, who has a powerful Sonic Resonator that is effective versus masses of vehicles, but is not truely powerful until she kills enough opponents to be promoted to the Savoir rank. (VDF ranks go Exemplar = Veteran, Savoir = Elite Veteran, Harbinger = Best of the best)
- Dawn Haven's armies are focused on masses of foot soldiers, and hence infantry coming out of the VDF Training Ground are 25% cheaper then normal.
"Here to lend a hand... well not to lend an actual hand, more like a sound wave..."
Verdant Haven
- Starts of with the Cardio-cropter, a flying aircraft that is a fusion of flight, medical, and repair divisions of VDF. Petrie and Ducky are glad to be apart of one of the VDF's first race-collaberative experiments, and using their combined abilities can heal masses of infantry and vehicles in both down times and active battle situations.
- Verdant Haven's armies concentrate on being economically sound, and so enjoy a 25% increase in Arborium productivity.
"Me here for you!"
"It is pretty high up here, it is, it is,"
...
Claw Sector
- Starts with the Deliverator, a ravenous grinding machine that draws enemy vehicles towards it with it's tractor harpoon and breaks them down, providing a decent refund to it's owner. Hasta is all too glad to put this devilish crawler to the test, and delights in the inevitable death all of his targets experience.
- Claw armies are the most aggressive of all sharpteeth forces and favour the support of their advanced technology before taking to the field to harvest their prey. Hence Claw Sector can construct the Black Tech Division 25% cheaper then the other sectors, as well as building the deadly Tyrannotron mechs 25% cheaper then normal.
"Vehicle eater reved up an ready to go,"
Fang Sector
- In tune with Fang's tendancy to avoid a direct fight, Ozzy the Chamelion Master gladly takes to the battlefield to assist upstart Fang commanders. Not many sharpteeth, or rather meat eaters, can attest to having their own satellite in orbit, but Ozzy can. He possesses no weapons, but can use his personal Icarus satelite to steal money, disable radar, and shut down vehicles and buildings with EMP. On top of this Ozzy only wears the latest Stealth armour, so hes almost complelely invisible!
- Fang's Army's are fitted to avoid a direct fight, instead using stealth and subtlety to gain eventual victory. In this light, all Fang foot sharpteeth begin with Stealth Armour (even lowly Sickle Packs) to hide them from visibility and make all your attacks quite surprising.
"Unless you've got an egg then stop giving me away runt..."
Scythe Sector
- Due to the incredable size of the Scythe Sector, the sharpteeth here have entered into a pact with mercenary flyers in order to better guard their domains. Apart from this however, Scythe's greatest claim to fame is Dr. Achilles, an unfortunate fast-biter who bound himself with an AI during an experiment in the Black Technology Labs. Achilles is bound entirely within the domain of computing and electricity, with his mortal body nothing more then an empty vessel to bind his spirit to the world. Sometimes when Scythe is threatened, Achilles will take to the battle field in his ingenious Calculator, a mobile advanced AI node that allows him to boost production figures enormously allowing armies to be quickly raised.
- Scythe armies are equiped mightily with an airforce piloted by Carniverous flyer allies, and their experience allows aircraft to be produced much cheaper then conventional Claw aircraft. Units built out of the Death-nest are 25% cheaper.
"I predict a 100% chance of death..."
...
Essentially, each army has 1 hero that you start with depending upon the sub-faction you choose. These units are entirely different from the Commando units, VDF's Chomper and Claw's Utah and Manhatten, which tend to cause enormous amounts of destruction very quickly.
Warp Chomper:
"Who's up for a little time travel?"
Utah & Manhatten:
"Hoo-rah,"
"Introduction to destruction,"
...
What do you think Serris?
Caustizer.
