[Proposal] The Army of the Democratic Republic of Congo Faction

[Brummy]

Yer. Anyway, I made the faction (copied Brits atm) and Pride made the flags.







Heh, the CP one is done as well, just Qwai has none. I'm going to edit OGT for that later. Pride is such a noob <3 that he flipped the flags upside down at first, lol.

I can't see the pictures, Red X in a white square.

[steve_06-07]

Nice

[Brummy]

Ugh, changing minimap flags because they're not at the topleft of the dot

Anyway, I'm changing the name of the army, etc. It's in a very beginning stage.

[Anxiety]

What are you changing it to may i ask ?? also

Any mappers who want a savanna feel , for some areas of the african maps, go

\vegetation \america\deserttrees (there are several)

I know Bf2142 has alot of africa trees.. but we aren't allowed to touch that are we ??




For the congo rainforest



but with more ferns, big bushes etc ?

[Brummy]

What are you changing it to may i ask ??

Changing what ?


Anyway, I'm going to contact EoD to see what trees they have, then I'll spank the mappers to get it done

Oh, and Anxiety, that looks great. The sky is not quite correct though, more rain like (no actual rain).

[Anxiety]

Oh i know that , I'm changing the lighting effects and that , this is from my other map , not the african one =] i'll work on it though

[HughJass]

looks quite good, too deserty though. Could do with darker ground texture and light settings + more mountains

But meh, its not for congo

Yeh, its supposed to be beachy, since its an island. But still working on all that good stuff.

Don't want to hijack this, but I just wanted to represent that bushes like mine should be used, and after some good touch ups on the light properties side the bushes will look great.

[azreal64]

sounds like a cool idea brummy. can't wait to see more.

[NYgurkha]

i really don't think there should be any vehicles for any form of African forces unless its South Africa... I mean most of those nations are all renting or borrowing crew/equipment form other countries. Not to mention the fact that they are a conscript army...

Id love to have an OPFOR thats different from the rest, but maybe there needs to be a new game play mode, or different structure to them?

PS: UK has a large base/training ground in Kenya right in the rift valley, Gurkha's and other units go there for Desert training i think.

[Brummy]

New kits, with AK101 being a AK74 placeholder, and AK47 a placeholder for the AKS.

[SuperTimo]

aww cant we keep a facton with AK-101 as their main weapon its the pwnage.


keep going brum and co, looking good

A majority of their maps will probably feature battles in dense jungle. Jungle warfare = no heavy vehicles.

Btw, please make sure the famous Congo river is featured on at least one of the maps. I'm a big fan of Conrads "Heart of Darkness".

[Brummy]

Yer one map will feature the river

I renamed the kits and army, gonna post this in a few min

[Z-trooper]

Nice brummy, looks like you are pretty dedicated which sure earns my respect

Let me know when you get some modeling jobs.. I'm good to start working in about 1-2 weeks.

[Brummy]

Ah! I'll PM you in a week Z Thanks

Anyway, here are the screenies I promised:

Spawn Screen - Note the names of the army and kits



Engineer kit - Note that there are no explosives



Guerilla kit - Explosive man



Medic - Note that there are no defibs, and that the CP flag doesn't work. (The floaty ones aren't changed yet, dunno about the CP Flag)

[Z-trooper]

If the engineer dosnt have explosives then he isnt that special. Only real thing that makes him an "engineer" is the wrench.. perhaps give that class a new name? just a thought.

[ZZEZ]

Technion??
I'd recommend removing the C4 from Guerrilla kit and just giving him extra Mines to encourage more ambush type and less suicidal play.
Also again I'd recommend not using AK74 as main weapon, and coming up with something original, perhaps a sudden discovery in Congo discovered a vast reserve of oil & the government took control of it to fund its new army upgrade program to use HK417??

[Brummy]

Yeah, something like Technician will do Maybe Mechanic

We might stick with Engineer, because I already removed the 'Combat' in Combat Engineer.

[Masaq]

Geurilla doesn't quite fit, to my mind - you're talking about a conventional army rather than guerilla fighters, no?
