Posts: 5397 11-Nov-06 04:56 Tori Fan	Tags : None Welcome to the new LSN community wishlist. This thread is based on the concept of the old wishlist, which can be found here: click It is NOT a place for making suggestions... that's what this sub forum as a whole is for. Rather, this thread collects together the ideas that are mentioned the most or that have sparked the most interest when discussed. It is intended to be an easy way for CODO to see what new features or changes to the current set up have been discussed, without going through the whole forum. If you feel that something not currently on the list deserves to be then please post here, and I'll edit it in. If you want to post a link to whichever thread(s) are relevent to it then by all means do so.

Posts: 20 20-Feb-07 17:03	Hi, Here are some suggestions I sent in before... ...some are a bit adventurous... think you would please users if there was the ability to play a 3-4 player game (not sure if that's possible or something you already looked into) where everyone is out for themselves. A kind of Last Man Standing. I like the idea of internal building structures catching fire for a few rounds with slight extra building damage. This would also take a hit point from players walking through fired areas during that period. Not sure how hard that would be but it would bring life back to Grenaders... Also on the orders piece i find it very frustrating the way the Halt on New Sighting works. I think there should be two of them halt on overall sighting and halt on local sighting (which is specific to the unit that sees the enemy). I think the opp fire is useful for getting an upper hand on an attack where you expect someone to be but I think it might be good to have a 'if-someone-is-there-then-take-1-shot' order, which obsorbs at max 1 sec of time (to see an enemy before you bother to aim) before shooting with the number of shots you suggested. One last thing that I think would be good fun is an option to increase FP(for league games maybe, but definitely for Friendlies) up to 50. It would make great fun for Friendlies with killing sprees.

Posts: 2 8-Jun-07 20:04	wow so many ideas. i've been thinking of a few tweaks but not in that detail. marines: toggle grenadiers between grenades and a line of site rocket so they can give direct fire. assassin character, faster movement, stealth shield, weak but powerful shot could jump 1/2 size walls and a single bomb to drop. machina: SCANNERS HAVE A SELF DESTRUCT BOMB - LET THEM DO SOMETHING ELSE! spawn: more ranged fire 'the frog' fires tongue out to do damage. greys:giant floating space saucer top hat. 20 pts hat combines saucer, guardian, warper and psyker in 1!

Posts: 6087 13-Jun-07 14:04 It's easy to quit, I've done it hundreds of times.	I agree with Marines with swords/daggers; used them in a Laser Squad game once, Paradise Valley scenario to remove the miniture bushes, instead of wasting my ammo. Also killed a sectoid with one when ran outta ammo.

Posts: 20 9-Jan-08 20:20	I'm not sure how far Codo has advanced with the new LSN version announced almost a year ago, but I believe that the following features would make it the most popular tactical wargame ever: 1) Real MultiPlayer (like 16+ players) 2) Several MultiPlayer modes: One-on-One, team-vs-team, team CoOp vs AI 3) Playable on LAN without Internet connection (local hosting) 4) Optional host setting "Public Game": After the battle has ended you can view/replay the entire game without Fog Of War. AD1) The WEGO turn-based model used by LSN is simply the perfect game engine for turn-based multiplayer games. Stars! used the same model and you could easily run a 16 player game with 1 day/turn. Orders could carry over to the following turn and turns could be force-generated) AD2) CoOp turn-based strategy games are wonderful, but unfortunately rare. AD3) The reason LSN isn't much more popular is the pay-to-play-online-only model. Many private LAN's don't feature Internet connection. AD4) Nothing like seeing a good Replay

Posts: 2779 9-Jan-08 21:20 Blutkind	1) 16+ would be a massacre, not really strategy/tactical. Well, with the exception on City of Dusk - scale map, what is not supported by current engine, though in theory quite possible. 2) AI - no. developing a good AI (not scripted one from campaign missions) is too much of unefficient work. LSN isn't ''really'' getting profit from sold copies, so unless the strategy of deployment of the software be drastically changes, such sort of enhancing single player would be waste of resources. 3) Once again, project strategy... local server = no income for codo. if this changed (lsn through steam?) - conversation can be started. 4) you can already watch wholegames without "god view", i'm pretty sure you know what LGA is? Also FW, admin of LGA is working on making "god view" out of 2 wholegames from both sides and maybe for hoseat it would be possible to have complete god view. But nevertheless i definitely agree with you, "God view" is an excellent feature to be made by codo themselves, with different highlighting features. LSN Name: Duke Garland Alliance: Rock'n'Roll Suicides (captain) Location: Ukraine, GMT+2 Specialist: League of Ordinary Gentlemen (captain) The logic of war seems to be that if a belligerent can fight, he will fight - Rudy R.
