So each race had certain traits. Traits could be taken on the roll of an 8. A bit complex probably, but interesting. |
I like the idea of traits because they can define a positional with access to unique skills no one else can get. But complexity is a major downside. Maybe the answer is to have a set of "Trait Packs", so for example Goblins and Snots get Sneak Traits, Blitzers get Blitz Traits, Chaos spawn get Chaos Traits, etc. Another thought is to allow basic Chaos traits to all players, reflecting the Warhammer universe's constant contact with warpstone -- some of it is bound to rub off. Maybe that's the place for a Devious mutation for Big Guys (removes negatrait) or Carapace that adds the +AV.
However I'm inclined to think this can be accomplished reasonably well with the existing doubles system. |
you're pretty much describing the LRB4 trait system... |

It wouldnt be too terribly complex for a computer game with an accompanying rule book that has a robust index. |

I have to say that I have always thought the natural progression of the game would be that there is, let say, 15 positionals, those players have a skill tree they go down, some skills are doubles.
Some teams will only have 5-8 of these positional players and some might have up to 12.
The idea is that we move off of the current system and make the players more specialized. Also it introduces team building dynamics.
Now for a simple ho hum computer game, if the users cannot read the team sheet, showing the positional players and their skill up trees and they are totally discombobulated by the information, well, then, I give up.

Let me clarify my idea.
Lets take a human team.
There are still just: Linemen, Throwers, Catchers, Blitzers and the Ogre.
Each of those groups have 2-4 skill tree builds you can choose.
So your lino just skilled up. He must choose which of the 4 skill tree paths he will take. Those 4 skill paths feature a specific role for that player. He can take the Kicker path, the sweeper path, LOS warrior path or the Low down Path.
Each tree will not have unique skills from each other but some skills on one path are normal and others are double.
Also by making Linemen take, in this case, 4 paths, from a team building perspective how many of each type do you want or need?
Blitzers, catchers, throwers and the Ogre will have their own unique skill up trees.
Rinse and repeat for each roster. |

It'd be more like X-Com: Enemy Within where there are skill trees dictated by player class...something that isn't totally weird but doesn't strike me as very BB. |

Are there any mods like long war for xcom2 yet?
Thought high modability would bring an early full conversion but it doesn't seem like there are any :/. |
