| I'm not entirely sure why such inspiration hit, but while playing RE:5 I started thinking that a Resident Evil RTS would be pretty cool. There could be human, t-virus, and las plagas factions with different unit types (survivors and soldiers, zombies and BOWs, or various parasite creatures).
Obviously, the numbers would have to be tuned a bit differently for this to work (the handful of survivors vs the horde would make for a very one-sided RTS). Part of this idea involves randomly spawning neutral "survivors" who can be rescued by the human faction or infected with the t virus or parasite.
Does anyone else think it would be totally awesome to lead a swarm of hunters through the ruins of raccoon city, hacking up anything that reeks of life? Or to set up epic battles between the BSAA and majini? Maybe we could set up one of those irritating gamer petitions. |

| To be honest, at first I was like hell no. After thinking about it for a second...it could work. It'd have to be done with extreme care though. It's one of those ideas that would either rock or just suck. Tone the idea some more and keep sharing. |

| I actually have jotted down a few notes for it, I will post those up after a bit of polishing.
Basically, human units spawn with a random weapon (melee, pistol, magnum, SMG, shotgun, assault rifle, machine gun, sniper rifle, rocket launcher) and different unit types have different possible weapons and probabilities (an investigator will never spawn with a sniper rifle, a soldier will never spawn with a pistol). Weapon upgrades apply to all weapons of that type, regardless of which unit is using it -- IE upgrading the pistol upgrades any unit carrying a pistol.
T Virus units generate and upgrade automatically -- any map with the t virus faction is infected with the t virus. When a human unit dies, a timer starts and when it finishes the dead human becomes a zombie. Zombies gradually become crimson heads, which gradually become lickers, etc. the presence of t virus on the map continuously grows within them. T Virus upgrades are all about increasing the capabilities of T creatures and reducing the time required for the next mutation. T Virus creatures can never use weapons, but if a T creature attacks a human unit, that human is infected with the t virus and will become a zombie immediately upon death.
Las Plagas trainable units are all parasites -- to get majini/ganados a living human unit has to be infected by the very fragile infection form. This would likely be the most difficult faction to play as -- the parasites have few capabilities that don't require a human host. This is simplified by the presence of survivors randomly spawning on a map, but survivors are always capable of self-defense in one form or another. Without a source of human hosts, the parasites are limited to a handful of weak attack forms (like bui kichwa). Once a human host is infected, they can build a few basic defensive structures and use melee weapons -- upgrades are required to use ranged weapons. By sacrificing more infection forms, the basic ganado/majini can be upgraded into stronger infected forms (cephalo, duvala, and at very steep cost ndesu). Infection forms spawn continuously from a hive, sort of like the zerglings from Starcraft, but the rate slows down with the number of infection forms that have been used or killed. The same hive can train basic attack forms if no human hosts are available. If enough resources are amassed, a queen can be created, the queen is mobile but slow moving and can become a new hive at any location (this is permanent, a hive cannot become a queen again).
Neutral survivors usually spawn with a random melee weapon, on a very rare occasion one may spawn with a pistol. They can also strip weapons off of dead human faction units; so a group of survivors who spawn on the battlefield after a big fight would be well equipped. Survivors spawn in random places on the map at random times in random numbers with random weapons (random, eh?) Human faction players may transport them to safety, where they switch allegiance to that player's team; any weapon upgrades that would apply take effect at this time (the human faction may also train survivors as the cheapest and fastest to train unit, useful in a power-in-numbers strategy despite low HP). For the T Virus and Las Plagas factions, survivors mostly serve as infection fodder. They can be butchered and left for the virus to take effect, or possessed by parasites, at which point they become a zombie or ganado and switch allegiance.
I don't think something like this would work out to be canonical, there would have to be a bit of a stretch to make it work, but I think it could be fun anyway. Like you say, it has the potential to either rock or suck depending on how it's handled. |

| Everything sounds good except for the people spawning with random weapons. That doesn't really make sense to me. There would also have to be a lot of work done to balance out strengths of factions etc. For example, the zombie faction could be like Mordor in BFME, completely free to get new Orcs so you can build them in mass armies, but they don't do much damage nor do they have much health. This would make sense seeing as in all the RE games, countless zombies, Ganados etc are neutralised by a single person. |

Allow me to elaborate a bit. Neutral survivors are usually only armed with their bare hands, but occasionally will appear with glass bottles, folding knives, baseball bats, etc. one or two in large group might have a handgun (as the survivor concept is modeled after Outbreak, this emulates the varied assortment of melee weapons littered throughout every level and the rarity of ammunition). Each weapon class has a series of weapon upgrades within it; IE the basic pistol-class weapon is the M92F, all human units equipped with pistols will have an M92F, but once the P8 is researched all units equipped with pistols will have a P8; existing units are upgraded and new units are created with the P8. Machine Gunners, Snipers, Rocketeers, and Butchers are special units that only ever appear with a single weapon; machine gunners always carry a machine gun, snipers always carry a sniper rifle, rocketeers always carry a rocket launcher, and butchers always carry a melee weapon. Since the use of these weapons is very specific, these units have no variation and consistently appear with their signature weapons (though they are still upgradeable). Other units have multiple weapon types that they may appear with to add a bit of variety to gameplay. Investigators, for example, appear with one of three weapon classes. Out of a group of 100, 88 will carry pistols while 6 have magnums and 6 have shotguns. The weapon they spawn with will always be the currently researched weapon of that class. This way, there's more than a single unit type using each weapon class without becoming repetitive. - lyfesArcanum wrote:

I had something like that in mind; the T Virus constantly infects corpses to create zombies (and every map would have some corpses scattered around to that effect) so Zombies are free units with moderate HP, no ranged attack, and very slow movement. As they rise up the T creature foodchain (which takes time), they gain greater speed and strength, but surviving long enough to become a hunter in a multiplayer game would be tricky. Las Plagas infection forms spawn continuously at the hive, they have very low HP and pitiful attack power but move fast, one of them is required to weaken and infect a human to make a Ganado. The Ganados have the same HP and movement speed as the human host infected, but Las Plagas cannot build vehicles (meaning ganados can only use vehicles that are found or stolen) and cannot research new weapons. Ganados are restricted to melee weaponry, and they must loot weapons from dead bodies or infect an armed host (which is difficult with the low HP of the infection form). With a special research upgrade, ganados can use guns, but cannot spawn with them and must either find a gun on a corpse or an infection form must infect a gun-wielding host (which would be nearly impossible.) Ganados are at a disadvantage with their average movement speed and melee restriction (the human Butcher unit has a faster movement speed and specializes in melee combat from a motorcycle). Research upgrades allow more than one parasite to inhabit the same host, this is how monsters are made. Each research raises the limit a little, and each parasite increases HP slightly. The Ganado will upgrade into something better with enough parasites (5 will allow them to spawn a cephalo when killed, 15 will allow them to spawn a duvala when killed, 30 turns them into a chainsaw or chaingun ganado depending on if the non-upgraded ganado was equipped with a melee weapon or a gun, 100 or so turns them into a giant, etc.) I've been typing up some info on the human faction in my spare time, when that's done I'll post it up to see what everyone thinks, then I'll start typing for the T Virus faction. Anyone else can contribute, too. |

I had an idea along those lines, but I thought of two different ways to do it and I'm not sure which would work best. Either with the hero units as a unique version of a specific unit type (Claire as a unique survivor, Leon as a unique investigator, Chris as a unique soldier, etc.) each with their own power, or with the major characters belonging to a special hero unit type with selectable weaponry and again each with their own power. |

There could always be different human factions e.g. the BSAA, the USMC (featured in Degeneration) etc. and each would have a different character or pair of characters as their leader(s). |

That's a good idea too. I had been playing with the idea of having a Government faction (RPD, STARS, BSAA, USMC) and an Umbrella faction (UBCS) but decided to make Umbrella part of the T Virus faction (T creatures can take over human buildings, if a Barracks is taken over UBCS Operatives can be trained and work like human units but are weaker). I just finished up into for the human faction, I didn't notice there was a new reply until a couple of minutes ago. The forum says this was too long to post all at once so I'll be posting in segments. Feel free to comment on any of it. ********** Basics: *Human, T Virus, and Las Plagas factions, each with different units, structures, and research. *T Virus and Las Plagas units can take over certain human structures, but have different research and units available. *Each faction has numerous heroes which are stronger than normal units and have special abilities. Each hero has one piece of special equipment and one special skill, neither of which are ever available to regular units. Players can only control 3 heroes at a time, and if a hero dies they can’t be revived or re-created. *The resource system hasn’t been figured out just yet, so nothing in this document has been given a cost. *The human faction can build vehicles. A vehicle cannot move or attack unless there is at least one unit inside. Empty vehicles are considered to be abandoned, UBCS of the T Virus faction or Ganados of the Las Plagas faction (in addition to any human faction unit) may enter an abandoned vehicle and claim it for their team. *Human and Las Plagas units garrisoned inside buildings regenerate 1 HP per second. T Virus units (with the exception of UBCS) constantly recover 1 HP every 2 seconds. T Virus units, with the exception of UBCS, cannot garrison. UnitsSurvivor (Neutral)500 HP Neutral survivors spawn randomly on the map. They will automatically follow human units (unless attacked) and will attack or flee from T Virus and Las Plagas units. If led back to a hotel, they will become a human controlled unit and gain any appropriate upgrades.

I disagree to the maximum. If enough care and time were put into this idea, I think it could work quite well and be very fun. |

That would be a sweet game. He's a hero version of the Investigator class, meaning he's cheaper, faster to train, and faster moving than most of the other heroes; Leon and Claire would probably be the first heroes to get in a rush game (while "turtles" would hold out for Chris, Rebecca, and maybe David) There's also some basis in my comparison between RE4 and RE5; it was always so much easier to die on RE4 (especially on professional) than in RE5. AI Sheva isn't all that helpful, so I figured either Chris is a lot more resilient than Leon or that the Las Plagas became a lot weaker by going to Africa than they were in Spain. - NiteKrawler wrote:

I did contact them for a different game (which will now be a series of books) but they don't take unsolicitied submissions. This one might get somewhere since it's based on RE though, I will get in touch with them. - The mastAH! wrote:

I haven't worked out maps yet, but I think it could include a variety of maps from various RE games. The T Virus part of the campaign would probably be in Raccoon City, the Las Plagas part could be in Spain/Africa/somewhere new. |
