We have a winner with the commando! Nicely done. Lots of good guesses though. And I like the idea of a vehicle expert.. We'll be flat out getting the current classes properly polished balanced and tested along with everything else, but there's always room to extend the class list in future releases. Are there any character classes you'd like to see make it into the game some time in the future?
It would be cool if, in the beginning of each game, you could chose if you wanted to specialize some of your units (like engineer could be demolitions expert or vehicle expert). Its just an idea and I'm sure a better way of implementing this idea into the game is out there, but I think it would be cool. It would add more tactics to the game.
A sneaking class would be cool. Imagine a camouflage perk for 2 rounds, you'll be able to walk behind your enemy and stab his back!
I think we need a medic unit to make things interesting. It would also be cool if we can have soldiers screaming "Medic!" when their HP is running low.
Currently we have a system of weapon unlocks so certain classes can be moded during the team setup phase. The rocket might get upgraded to land mines for example..
Yeah, the ability to heal is great for tactics. We played around and found that a system where you had a limited number of heals, but any unit could do it, was the best.
Oh, and I almost forgot. If you've got a Facebook account, we also have a TOME Studios page on Facebook where you'll get more up to date info on Lost Company and our other projects. So head on over if you want to keep up to date on the progress and news.
Nope. All the units have a melee weapon/attack and his just happens to be a bat. The other guy is the fearless team leader.
Oh ok. Is the guy who specializes in hand to hand more powerful that way? Or is his pistol more powerful?
His pistol is weak and has a poor range, but this guy can move quickly and deals heaps of damage up close in melee range.
As you said before, we will be able to upgrade weapons for our units. Will this include melee weapon upgrades?
It will, but at this stage the commando is the only one who can get a melee upgrade. This might change though as we go through the balancing process.
Well, we've been working hard and we've put together a new video showing some more features of Lost Company. Enjoy!
