Creating You (Make Your Own Everything)

[Williamland]

So... how do I actually make my own soldiers? I saved the image that has all the parts, but is there like a website or application that I use to make them?

Most of us use Microsoft Paint. It should be an application that comes with your computer.

Yes, I have Microsoft Paint. So do I just crop things and move them around onto the outlines of the soldiers?

The Mojave desert is is normally between 80-120 degrees with the lowest recorded temperature ever being 78 Fahrenheit,so winter gear isn't a necessity. However I don't know about Sevvania so that advice might be practical.

Combat boots are a much better choice considering rain boots don't protect against sharp objects buried in the sand.

Sevvania is somewhat similar to the Australian Outback in terms of climate. I think. Something like that.

I dunno if these are necessarily post-apocalyptic Sevvanians, though. They're just something I felt like making.

"CUTE?!" HOW DARE YOU CALL OUR BRAVE MEN "CUTE?!"

Uhm...

Well anyway, thanks, and I can send you the explosion file via TG if you would like

How many people are participating so I can know how many zones to make... because each faction will rule a different environment (snowy, rain forest, swampland, grassland, mountains, desert, etc.)

I'm working on something for a jungle-type area.

(minus jungle camouflage, of course.)

Okay so so far I have Torrocca as the Tropical Forest and Desert Rangers for Hot and Dry Forest... keep them coming. I have Savanna, Coastal Desert, Temperate Grassland, Wetlands (swamps), Steppe, Cold Desert and Arctic remaining.

[Almire]

I guess arctic?

Idk, this sounds interesting, though.

Wouldn't it make more sense for TDR to control a desert region and not some crummy forest?

Also: rainforests FTW.

[Fashiontopia]

I meant Hot and Dry Desert not Forest lol

[Fashiontopia]

Before you choose just let me let you weight your options
Tropical Forest - A LOT of cover, but very little visibility, you will barely be able to see 10 feet ahead of you when it's not raining and when it is expect a heavy low clouds that will be virtually pouring down. Good news is you can take cover very easily, and launch surprise attacks making as much noise as you want to on foot while it's raining.

Hot and Dry Desert - Very high visibility and little cover for enemies... however that's a two way street... no surprise attacks, no movement without recognition, no camping nor hiding out for the night. Once you're there it's pretty much a fight to the death. High mobility.

Savanna - Some cover behind trees and still pretty good visibility. Maybe some surprise attacks if you can crawl silently for miles and spend day and night fighting on your stomach. Good news is the trees make good locations for snipers. Okay Mobility.

Coastal Desert - A combination of Savanna and Hot/Dry Desert, expect fresher air and no sandstorms. Now you have to think about tsunamis on occasion. Same trees as Savanna, but same lack of grass as Hot/Dry. High Mobility.

Temperate Grassland - Grass, grass, and more grass, you won't find anything over 3 feet in height. However you don't have to worry about drought or lack of water. Moderate visibility, slight cover as the vegetation is so thick is can slow rounds. Less Than Satisfactory Mobility.

Wetlands (swamps) - You're not going anywhere, every turn you're stepping in mud, muck, or waist deep water that's green and most likely filled with predators. Low visibility due to heavy shrubbery a and similar storms as the Tropical Forest. Only difference between here and there in the fact that you have a lot more low areas and a lot more water in the form of creeks and small rivers. LOW Mobility and Vehicles? Haha.

Steppe - Dry areas of grassland with hot summers and cold winters. Basically Temperate Grassland mixed with Savanna. Combine the two for conditions.

Cold Desert - Unlike the hot desert you have a large flat area with very cold temperatures and large amounts of snowfall. Low visibility and the element of surprise increases when snowing. Be prepared for frigid conditions. Low mobility.

Arctic - Heavy snow all the time, no visibility except out to around 3 yards ahead of you. If you know where you're going with a compass you can do great things and you will be the leader here. Cover is easy, drop to the ground and hope you're enemy doesn't see you... which he won't, them kill him. Extremely low mobility.

Snowy, Mountains and Grassland will be inhabited by my faction called the "Cultists"

Weapons so far that I'm still making are:
AS Val
WASR 3
AS50
Tactical RPD
SMAW
ARC-68

Armor:
Cloth and coats
Some to little Kevlar

Vehicles:
Humvee
Armored Horses

Advantages:
Great in Offensive blitzkriegs
Elite Trained Forces
Armed to the teeth
Vehicles can get over most terrain and can take a beating

Disadvantages:
Weapons aren't always reliable
Tactical use of radios is a need and without them greatly hinders
Undisciplined night guards(Falls asleep, doesn't pay attention, etc.)

Edit: Landscape would be other then said, Arctic, Steppe, and Temperate Grasslands. Mostly Arctic.

Taking Arctic, use swordsmen lol. SWORDSMAN AMBUSH! WTF! HOLY SHT OUR GUNS ARE USELESS!

[Sevvania]

I'm thinking about turning an excavator into an oversized apocalyptic armored... tank... thingy....

Any suggestions, aside from covering it in turrets and armor plating?

Agh, I sucked at chem. Is it a reaction? It results in carbon and water? That's all I can get.

You can only choose one environment...

[Torrocca]

I did choose an environment, just one, and I also mentioned camouflage would be liek, not jungle camo.

Editor's edit:

We need quotes >_>

[Corrica]

I would like to claim a steppe faction. Stats to come in morning.

[Graditora]

Fine then Arctic. Most of the camo is Grey and White anyway!

[Fashiontopia]

Okay so so far I have Torrocca as the Tropical Forest and Desert Rangers for Hot and Dry Forest... keep them coming. I have Savanna, Coastal Desert, Temperate Grassland, Wetlands (swamps), Steppe, Cold Desert and Arctic remaining.

[Coltarin]

I suppose I will... although what happened to the stargate scenario?

And what tech levels are allowed and what are the requirements for the factions?

B.C.- about 1999 with no commercial military weapons (missiles, tanks, aircraft) no aircraft because the weather is unpredictable and far too severe to take off. In the desert 12/24 hours a day you'll have blinding sand storms, in the tundra you'll run into blizzards constantly, in the rain forest you'll have Forrest Gump/Noah's Ark type rain, the grass land will be the only place that's like paradise, light rain and slight wind factors... until the earthquakes come. However, naturally all you're people have become accustomed and adapted to the conditions they face so it is not a problem for natives, however for those of your who will be invading you're going basically to your definition to hell on Earth. The only thing I'm controlling will be the weather and terrain conditions, I won't have a faction.

I happen to have some advice.
- Make the soldiers and their equipment dirty, rusted and worn-out.
- Try to keep the troops as similar as possible without making a single uniform.
- Always make the soldiers or people look like they belong to whatever environment they inhabit. (example: dirt/sand on desert troops and snow and maybe mud on cold-weather troops)
- Again,small details like patched clothes and dirty or jury-rigged equipment help.
- Vehicles should also look like they've survived the apocalypse and should be subject to the above.

That's about it,hope it helps!

I hope I'm not the only group inhabiting the desert...

Very true, I would even venture to say having cloth and plastic covers on weapons' breech's would be very intelligent to protect the action from the elements. Equipment will be very dirty and by God make sure you have winter and summer clothes, also, abandon traditional combat boots in favor of air tight rain boots to prevent disease.

What if my faction is made up of former military members with same weapons minus the launchers?
