feature request: options for tech tree

Post by raymond »

Hello WZ-team,

It is possible the set options for the tech tree in multiplayer?
What I mean: If I research the full tech tree I spend a lot of time. So it would be nice to set in options:

1) fast tech tree
-eg. one flamer upgrade
-only one command turrent research

summary: 1/4 of all researches are available
goal: research all upgrades within 30 minutes

2) medium tech tree

summary: 1/2 of all researches are available

3) full tech tree

summary: full tech tree available

thanks

Even if this sort of tech tree is created, there's gonna be a lot of work needed to balance it. This is going to be a completely different game, no matter how much we try.

It is relatively easy to implement this thing as a mod (like Iluvalar's NRS mod), but hardly any such thing will be accepted to the base game soon.

Have you tried playing a game in T2 or T3? Also, you get different researches available depending on the No Base/Base/Advanced Base setting (a bug, imo).
This is why some features aren't implemented: http://forums.wz2100.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=7490&view=unread#p87241

I want to select different modes while creating a multiplayer game: fast tech, mid tech, full tech.
Thanks for the hint with: NRS mod. We will test it.

How long did the full research take (with 2 research facilities)? With 3 vs 3 player: we did not manage to research all.
So thats the reason. So I opened another feature request: more bigger maps (10 and 12P).

research speed of 3 players in team same as 6 players in team
why 2 research facilities? every player can make 5

to research all team of 4 players need 2-3 hours, not sure
but most of visible thing appear in first hour (best weapons and bodies)
