Re: [glob2-devel] thoughts on races vs. conversion

[Quinn Yee Qin Teh]

I think it can be easily solved by disabling the conversion of builders, or simply not allow converted builders to build any of their original race's buildings (but still allow them to perform resource-carrying tasks). So this means NOT implementing a change which will expand your tech tree when you convert an enemy worker of a different race.

 

We'll need to come up with a mechanism for building conversion, probably involving the conversion of individual buildings. Maybe exclude it to one race only, and the only way for other races to do it is to convert the unit responsible for building conversion?

hi guys,

thinking about introducing new races i also came to think about how this would
work well together with our conversion system. on the one hand i love the
concept of globules that convert for fruit/to not starve and would even extend
this to globules that convert for health care (a suggestion on uservoice).

on the other hand i would love to see extra races that are not just
modifications of the original race but fundamentally different creatures.
imagine creatures that live in the water and have to develop exosuits to go on
land? Imagine races that build beneath the earth loosing health in the sun.

i can hardly think of a concept that allows conversion then. in starcraft it
works well as conversion is very hard to do and in return well rewarded by an
extra tech tree. in glob2 an extra tech tree would be too powerfull as
conversion is too easy.

greetings,
