Im starting this thread as a draft, please revamp it so it suits you guys. This is just something random, dont know what im doing:P

-Post you character ideas in this fasion
E.G

Unit Name :
Required Rank :
Armor type :
Weapon type :
HP/Energie :
Skills :
Class Skill 1 :
Class Skill 2 :
Class Skill 3 :
Class Skill 3 :

Well, I also don't know what you're doing there^^
Is it to invent and work out new classes?
In this case I'd have something to work out:

Class name: Assaultman

Weapon: Shotgun, slow attack, high damage, high splash, small magazine
Base Armor: 2
HP: Little less than Firebat

Skills:
-> Fragmentation Shards (replaced critical hit)
Gives a chance to deal extra splash damage.

-> Assault Armor
Increases Assaultman's armor and returns damage to attacker.

-> ?

-> ?


Some skill ideas (not enough to make a real skill out of it):
-> Rapidfire (increases attackspeed for a short time)
-> Smoke Grenades (throws a smoke nade)
-> melee attack (knocks back all enemies close to the assaultman)
-> Net (weaker than the engineer's net)
-> Timed charge (plants an explosive on the ground that'll detonate after 5 seconds, dealing lots of dmg)

thats what i was trying to do, sath said just start a thread, you should edit it mine frails:P

I believe an ideal spell for the assaultman will be Assault Specifics last spell

Level 1 Satchel Charges
Level 2 Nanonet (weaker than engi) shouldnt stun the enemey, only slow movement speed by 12% and attackspeed by 35%
Level 3 Battle Veteran (Gains 3% more exp than other classes) or for every creep kill + 0.3 mana boost.
Level 4 Mini-Nuke Animation like napalm but it hurts a hell of a lot more, and has DoT (radiation) . Wipe's out normal creep's and hurts big guys lots(dont know how much)
Level 5 Targeted Strike - Kills A boss in one has a massive CD say as mini-nuke


+shock if that helps

Class Skill Ultimate : Coup D'État - Makes everyone on his team to 100% health, drops their items and ammo, make them lose a level including you

Mouhahahaha! the dream for anyone who just likes to kill allies to piss them off ^_^
he would also appear as a generic ally with fake health and fake attacks, like an illusion in WC3 so that people don't see through him too easily ^_^

lmao

that would be a cool plan if it didnt involve killing teammates and 10hp.. Lol

Baked Ninja wrote:that would be a cool plan if it didnt involve killing teammates and 10hp.. Lol

well he has 10 HP cuz he's made to kill allies.. making him kill them very fast,but dieing very fast...

Just like the Spy in TF2, you can backstab and kill in 1 hit, but you can die pretty damned fast so you have to be careful!
it's also more of a class to mix some randomness when you've completed about everything in the game ^_^

this one im unsure about, but it would fill another recon class and would be fun to play

Big Red, you don't, by any chance, know NotD:Aftermath? XD

Using a Flying hero might not be so great (because of how I designed the game a flying unit could trigger stuff).
But there's some interesting ideas. Doh I need another Recon class.. rite.. well, first I'll finish my Assaultman^^"

@ Nigel
Althought I don't want to see an acid trooper on the battlefield, he and the Polariser-guy has some interesting skills - like the Phosphorus Grenade, bio. Warfare or the Repulsion.

How about a dog that can go through the masses of dead?
Like in the Movie? ;o

maybe as additon for a special rank or something?

+1 for the K9Unit

yeah aftermath is one of my favourite games +gg but DOTD 6.0 is the new aftermath

and yeah the kind of units u have available does depend on how u design the game and missions, since its a beta noone knows what could come next =P

as for the first one tho (Fox Op), what i tried to do was mainly try to think of a fun, all-rounded character, not too o/p and available only to rlly high ranking officers. (similar to a Delta operator if you will)

anyway, just ideas and the more ideas u have, the more options are available
(hope the next version is coming out soon, i hate having to replay the same 3 missions over to get ranks)

This is just a cool thing i thought someone that just wanted to play around would like to use.
Unit Name : Tyrannosaurus Rex
Required Rank : Captain
Armor type : Bone Carapace
Weapon type : Rabid Jaws and Slicing Talons.
HP/Energie : HP 400 Gains 0.5 HP Point per corpse consumed. Mana 0.

Class Skill 4 : Primal Instincts. Havent deicided this yet, take a look at comment.

it sounds like you guys have thought out some good heroes, lucky i started the thread, oh and btw. Should like steal the NOTD Idea of pets. they are fully fun!!

Please allow me to DISAPPROVE this hero suggestion
Really, zombies are ok, but Dinosaurs? Now it's getting unrealistic.. if they at least had some time traveling machines in the cretaceous period.

heres another, just thought the more character we put up, the more ideas for characters abilities we have +^^

(guess where i got it from XP)
Unit name: Ghost
The strain of genetically enhanced soldier known as the “Ghost” is a result of the latest research into biometric, physiological and genetic technology. This research has given the Ghost inhuman speed and agility as well as enhanced mental capabilities. The extensive testing however has left the Ghost frail and its mind unstable, a small price to pay for their unparalleled killing instinct.
(Recon Class)

Required rank: 2cnd Lieutenant
Armour type: light/normal *1, fast movement speed
Weapon type: Gas-Operated Canister Rifle
Weapon damage: 150 - 160
Weapon range: 1500
Weapon Speed: Average
Hp/Energy: 260 (HIGH AGILITY, LOW STRENGTH)
Mana: 290

Skill 1: Critical Strike

Skill 2: Under-Barrel Shotgun
Deals shotgun damage in a line. (Doesn’t hurt allies)

Skill 3: Octo - Camoflage (up for debate)
The Ghosts advanced combat armor acts like an octopus, blending in with its surroundings and giving the Ghost invisibility while immobile. While camoflaged, the Ghosts enhanced senses increase his awareness of nearby terrain and enemies. (Provides camoflage while the ghost is not moving, camoflage has no cooldown but has activation time (i.e 10 seconds to become completely invisible), each level increases Ghost's LOS while ability is activated)

Skill 4: Ghost Recon (Class Skills)

Class Skill 1: Designate
Designates a target reducing armour by 5.

Class Skill 2: Incendiary Canister shot
The Ghost fires an Incendiary Canister round that detonates once within the target. (Deals heavy damage to the target, very low splash damage)

Class Skill 3: ACOG Scope
The Ghost ceases moving completely to take aim through a thermal scope dealing double damage. (doubles damage and faster shots, cannot move while casting, lasts 5 seconds)

Class Skill 4: Nano Machines
Microscopic Nano Machines nullify almost all pain felt, break down foreign organisms in the body and calms the mind. (Adds extra health regen, ailments last for shorter amount of time, mana regen increased)

Class Skill 5: Bio-Bot Cloud
Releases a cloud of bometric machines that enter the brain and neutralise neuro acitivities involved with movement and hostilities. The Bio-bots affect allies and enemies, but do not affect the Ghost due to his Nano Machines. (Enemies and allies within cloud have severely reduced movement speed, enemies and allies within the cloud cannot attack, the ghost's move speed and atack are not afected)

*edit*
i had this insane idea for the octo-camo ability; instead of immobile invis, when used it brings up a small menu (like difficulty menu) and at first level offers you 3 different types of camoflage (liek tiger stripe, urban and leaf). each camo type decreases the chance of certain enemies noticing you, but increases others (like reduces zombies, but increases gargs). there are only 3 levels for the ability; lvl 1 begins with 3 types, lvl 2 = 4, then lvl3 = 5. the 4th camo type reduces a greater range of enemy types that notice u but greatly increases the chance of the other types. the 5th camo type decreases the chance of all enemies noticing you equally, but is not as effective at repelling enemies as the 4th lvl. (each camo type lasts forever until you change it to another type).

i know its an insane idea and it could be rlly affected by any host latency to the player, would be rlly hard to understand AND it would take shitloads of hard work on the developers part to accomplish, but it would be one of the most advanced zombie killing character's ever made. (ty to random temple guardian from TBR who gave me idea with his prayer ablity =P)

awww, no fair s3rius i was in love with dinosaurs when i was a youngin, totally not cooL:P haha nah all good. i was just abit high anyway.
