Idea: Arena Mode
Adral:
--- Quote from: Derek on December 30, 2006, 18:52 ---I think the interesting aspect of the "play as the monster" idea isn't that you're a monster, but that you're a small part of a large horde going up against a single, but very powerful foe (the marine). Otherwise, it's not that much different from playing a marine... you just have different weapons at your disposal.
But yeah, actually that's probably a better idea for a completely new 7DRL: you control one monster after another, trying to stop a single, overpowered human from getting to their goal. The idea of playing as a large horde of creatures where the lives are insubstantial appeals to me somehow. :)

This is actually a pretty good idea! This would make the RL very different in the way of playing, thinking, etc. It would be similar to Dungeon Keeper, perhaps, and be more of a small strategy game where you have to control your minions to destroy that %$·%& marine who thinks he can banish evil than a RL per se :P.
Also we need to be a Cyberdemon. For great justice.
Aki:
Lolz 'For great justice'. I think we should play this arena somthing like this:
--- Code: ---Move Baron of hell-->3W

DoomRL (v.0.9.8.5) roguelike post-mortem character dump (Arena)
--------------------------------------------------------------
1337 Cybieh dude, CyberDemon, killed by That Marine
on level 24 of the Phobos base.
He survived 10000 turns and scored 90000 points.
He Managed his Minions Effectivly (4 Marine kills)
-- Statistics ------------------------------------------------
Health -4/200
ToHit +0 ToDmg Ranged +6 ToDmg Melee +6
-- Minions Managed -----------------------------------------------------
120 former humans
72 former sergeants
43 former captains
53 former commandos
39 imps
64 demons
9 lost souls
4 Hell Knights
3 Barons of hell
4 Aracnotrons
92 Arch-Viles
4 Pain elementals
-- History ---------------------------------------------------
He started his Empire as a lowly Imp.
After damaging 2 Marines and showing initive, The forces of hell turned him into a demon.
After damaging 3 Marines and showing initive, The forces of hell turned him into a Hell Knight, giving him
Command over some Minions.
After damaging 4 Marines, Killing 1 and showing initive, The forces of hell turned him into a Baron of hell,
giving him command over more minions.
He was then Cyberneticly enanced and Given command of All minions.
-- General ---------------------------------------------------
Before him 17 other Imps failed to build an empire, on a fools quest to rule hell.
Beside them 8 Hell Knights were brought to their knees, taking with them more than others could.
Others witnessed 3 Barons of Hell as they rised most violently,
and proceeded to scorch the earth as they burnt out.
Throughout it all, though, the Cyberdemon has been killed 2 times.
Despair, mortals, for he will never truely die.
--- End code ---
Wadda ya think?
Thx to TFoN for the general thingy.
--------------------------------------------------------------
TFoN:
Nice :)
I was thinking of it all more as the demons attacking *before* the marine's counter-attack, or the last demons on the near-earth outposts holding their ground against "normal" marines.
Yeah, not very special, but that's how I pictured it, and still think it should be implemented.
Anyway, IMO, "One achieved Hell Knight rank before being killed" sounds better, as he ain't an Imp any longer, and deserves recognition :P, and:

sounds to me even better.
The idea is that those who reached a certain rank were destined to or were it, and, furthermore, the idea behind the Cyberdemon line is that he's possibly reincarnated, and not resurrected or rebuilt, and only his corrupt soul could possibly survive the path to Hell's Kingship!
Naturally, each line makes the dead dude look better, considering the ~feudal system :P
Aki:
There TFoN, i did your general in the mortem =)
ANyone else got any ideas?
Malek Deneith:
