Rigel's Idea

spaceshipe


A giant spaceship is attacking a military based city, and is destroying a metric fuckton of buildings and people and shit. ( this needs to be done right.)
*We  need to make a match system first of all if we want to make it where  the round starts and the aliens come and get dropped off.

It also sends down aliens or soldiers or some shit that start irradicating the populace

The  human's goals are to take down the ship, or to defend the city hall,  mayor, 2 randomized landmarks, and atleast 3 residential areas until  rescue arrives, for which they have to defend it from the aliens, unless  they want their only transport convoy to be destroyed aswell.

the  humans can buy better weapons with points that they get from killing  aliens, damaging the space ship, rescuing survivors from residential  areas (bots) and finding monetary caches.

the  aliens should come in waves, after the first minute of the ship  destroying buildings on it's own. First should be the scouts and grunts,  to test the human's might. eventually as the waves progress, the aliens  send tougher, smarter units, and eventually animals. The space ship is  constantly firing explosives and buildings, or lasers and plasma at  humans. Bricks don't respawn, and most of them just lay about when  destroyed. Explosions should cause some bricks to gain fire or smoke  emitters.

One player is picked to be the mayor, general, rescue leader, and badass

The mayor spawns in the town hall and tries to provide moral for the humans, and aids the general in tactical decisions.

The  general spawns in the barracks and makes decisions on whether to attack  a troop of aliens, scout/help a residential building, send humans to  defend key areas, and chooses where the artillery should go, to fire  upon the spaceship.

The  rescue leader spawns in the safe house, along with the rescuers, with  the rescue vehicals, and is picked after the set time rescue is supposed  to come in. All players who have ran out of lives become rescuers, and  are supposed to work together to evacuate everyone in the city to the  safe house via armed ground convoy. Either that, or they can decide to  aid in fighting the aliens and attacking the space ship, but rescuers,  along with the rescue leader have only one life.

The badass spawns in either starts with max ammo on all weapons, and a weapon set predetermined by the minigame owner.

There are weapons, ammo, and vehicals scattered throughout the city.

The  humans can lose if all civilian bots are dead (Probably won't happen.  but they can still die, since they only hide in the panic room of the  city hall, when rescued.), if the mayor dies. If all landmarks are  destroyed. If all survivor/soldier players are dead, if the round takes  too long (30 minutes), the spaceship launches a nuke into the air that  will touch ground after 2 more minutes, if people aren't in the safe  house by then.


In  the city, there is a minimum of 4 landmarks (Statues and stuff like  that) 30 residential areas, a town hall, 10 stores, a car dealership, a  small military barracks, and a panic room in the town hall.

Residential areas can be:

A single house (0 to 5 civs)
An apartment building (5 to 10 rooms, 0 to 3 civs in each.)
A motel (3 to 5 rooms, 0 to 3 civs in each.)
A spa (2 to 7 civs)
A goodwill place (one of those places that takes care of hobos) (5 to 20 civs.)

Stores will have equipment for the players, and parts to upgrade the defences of buildings.
Stores can also have civilians inside, waiting to be rescued.

Stores can be:

Grocery
Mall
Farmer's market
Car wash
Hardware store
Gun store
Doctor's office
Hospital
Drug den
Sporting goods
Firing range

The land marks can be:

A statue
A church
The police station (guns, ammo, and armor can be found here.)
The  prison (Plenty of civs here, 15 to 40, have guns, ammo, armor, food,  medical supplies, barricade supplies, and vehicals, but is usually  focused by the spaceship during it's first minute of attack.

The players are split up into 3 categories at random, Main character, Survivor, and Soldier.
The  main characters were described already above. The survivor spawns  inside a random residential area with a random pistol, a quarter of max  ammo, and a random melee weapon. A soldier spawns in or around the  barracks with any random non explosive weapon, half of max ammo, and a  random melee weapon.

Some civs will wander the street, and are usually the first to be rescued, or slaughtered.

The  space ship will also begin it's attack by sounding a loud, alien  sounding horn (Think War of the Worlds), and launching a bomb towards a  tall residential area near the center of the city. after a minute, when  the troops drop in, they will be divided into squads, commanded by an AI  to either slaughter civs in an area, or to set up a defensive perimeter  around a destroyed building. Infested buildings will slowly spawn some  lower grade troops to wander the city, while the space ship sends out  family sized drop pods with a full squad with specific orders. An alien  squad usually consists of 10 to 30 total alien population. Some classes  of aliens will count as more than one.

Alien  classes, and how much population they count as. There can only be a max  population of 300 in the city at any time. The space ship will stop  production at 300, and start again when it falls under 230.

Scout 1
Grunt 1
Heavy 3
Demo 2
Hunter (animal) 3
Prowler (animal) 2
Sneak (Only comes from buildings, and has an invisibility system of a predator.) 3
Wraith 2
Medic 2
Gunner  (Doesn't have a population, only uses the weapons on any alien  vehicals. They suicide bomb next to the closest human when their vehical  is destroyed.)
Plasma  tank (Takes up the whole drop pod and holds 4 aliens. One drives, 2  have plasma cannon turrets, the last one is a medic and hides inside the  tank.
GPC  (Takes up the whole drop pod and holds 10 aliens. One drives, 1 is on  the automatic laser cannon ontop, and the rest are grunts that are  passengers. Once they reach their destination, all but the gunner gets  out to complete the order.
