Garrulous Glaahk The Duke Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hey I was just thinking that it would be realy cool to have a sort of house. You don't buy it you earn it. You know with a quest. There would be a few npc's already inside that give quests. You could then hire aditional help. This would include an entire new shaping system for household uses. You could select adventure shaping which can be used anywhere, or Base shaping which can only be used in your base. Adventure shaping would have all the norm, while base shaping would have different things. I imagine base shaping as having Turrets, Spawner(rebel only and require a special pit to be bought and built), Household Serviles (they build, cook food that you can get, provide mild fighting ability, and they need a servile tender or they will go rogue), Thahds to Battle Beta's (essence loss is not perment, more Creation tenders allow more to be made, ult max as 22 for whole base, cannot leave base), Pylons (special shell must be built first, must have enough serviles to keep it in health), Servent Mind (tray must be built, must have enough serviles to keep in health, max of 4) Healing pits and Essence pits (pit must be dug out, must have serviles to maintain), last of all Orks (must have so cooks can make food). Those are my Base creations. No time is spent making shells or pits or anything. You press a button and select where you want to build it, you lose some money and presto its there. All walls and everything will be already there. Last of all the hired help. In the town outside the base would be a captain that hires guys to help you. Serviles you can make yourself but normal human guards, servile tenders, creation tenders and growers (they grow batons and living tools for sale, gives you small amount of income) must be hired. Also for rebels there is option of hiring intelegent servile guards. Shapers get a larger group of people already in the base. The quests would include clearing out infested parts of the base and defending it agains attacks from the other side. You don't control base creations directly. Well what do you guys think?

Ineffable Wingbolt Lord Safey Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 like a Sims2 Genoforge addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The Duke Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 lol Maby...but seriously does it sound cool or not? I think it would be awsome to have a customized base. Please post any ideas for other things you could add to base. Maby it could be added to Geneforge 5!!! So come on and bring your ideas!

Ineffable Wingbolt Lord Safey Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It could be but I don't think jeff would implemet it. He is the kind of person who keeps Murhpy in mind (murhpy's law). Be neat if people would try to break in/lay siege/attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Lord Safey is referencing Murphy's Law (basically, if something can go wrong, it will) to explain why this won't be implemented in G5. Jeff likes to stick with what is easy to do and what he knows sells well. This suggestion would take far too much work for too little pay off. Dikiyoba.

Tenderfoot Thahd XTehmasterX Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 It is a great idea, but I would enjoy it more if you only had to earn the RIGHT to build it instead of having a premade one, bacause what would you do if you didn't like the layout of the base/safehouse/Shaping Warren?

Chittering Clawbug Gabriel Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I like the idea and have thought about it in the past. This idea would work best as its own simulation game (just like the Sims). I remember the mansion from Avernum 3 and it had a novelty value. However, I would rather not be bothered with it when I'm solving the last plot point. Or, have it lost in an earlier area. This may work in its own game but not in Geneforge 5.

Kyshakk Koan Igor Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Couldn't you buy a house in A3? This doesn't seem much different, so I really don't buy the "going outside what's been done in the past" excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Well, in this one, you might have indirectly controlled guard creations, periodic attacks, actual defense measures, etc. It won't happen. Wait for Blades of Geneforge: an RTS. And, no, that won't happen either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Dark Mage Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 A thing like that sound like Shaper tycoon or something, maybe the fans could make a game like that, but not jeff. I admit that the idea of breeding defensive creations is quite nice and could be implemented in other games, but it would be hardly useful...

Ineffable Wingbolt Aequitas Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I'd love to buy a house in any GF game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk The Duke Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Well this realy wouldn't do in Sims. The point is that this would be like maby an expansion to a game. Such as after the ending of a Geneforge when your a general. It would be in a warzone with a town around the base. You can get quests in the base and outside and at some point in the plot the opisite side would attack the base and you have to defend it. I think it would be cool to have a commander type setting. Maby with people from base defence who you could inlist into your normal group and control. As to matters of layout. For me having any costimised base would be great but I suppose a selection could be implimanted. Say 5 choice pick one and get the layout. Maby this could be its own game, but just building a base wouldn't hit it for me. I'd still like a Geneforge plot. Maby Jeff could get a fan to volinteer to do this? Or hire I suppose.

Rotghroth Rhapsody Hawk King Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Maybe if we all put together a lump of cash he would agree to do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Questionmarks. Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I like that,maybe with your own safehouse you can make those nice experimental creations,and have rogue creations in your baccyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Dark Mage Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Maybe one day when Spiderweb will be bought by Microsoft Jeff will make a Geneforge RTS. Until then we can still wait for BoG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curious Artila robsavage Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 If Geneforge(in general) was an mmorpg thatd be pretty insane. Id probly love the hell out of it more than I already do and fork over a good sized chunk of my paychecks lol. Even this simple idea of customizing a lair is enough to snag me and make me wanna buy the game. I personally love to defend as much as i enjoy going out and killing things. I kinda expect alot out of Geneforge 5...for some reason I get the feeling the title will be something funny like "Geneforge 5: The End" lol...i'd probly fall to the floor and cry until my tears turn to blood if the Geneforge series stopped at 5. I hope that they step some boundries and go all the way with the Geneforge series and give it there all to make us more of these great games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chittering Clawbug shadowss Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I LUV YUR IDEA and there may be enough fans to create the "tycoon" version of geneforge, but the SIZE of the base would also matter... wouldn't it be cool if u make a creating u cant control, like the golem in the darkstone mines? eh? maybe you new warped creations could be used by the rebellion or shapers in the war? wingbolts are new... in g5 i hope it includes ALL OF TERRESTRIA, AND SHAPER LANDS...(including ashen isles/sucia island/ the g2 mountains, and terrestira continent...) the shaper council hold many secrets, what are those secrets that only the COUNCIL THEMSELVES know? what if a ghost of the past rises up?

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You are incomprehensible. Leave or learn. This won't happen. We would all like it to, but it won't. Shut up and let it die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
