Yes I know that there is a forum post about silly idea's already but it felt a bit "not serious".
I have been thinking of posting something like this for a few months already but I didn't beacuse I was a bit scared this would get made fun of lol.
Anyways...
Let's start with the "SILLY" ones:

1) Player Titles

Each player can receive a title of his own that will be shown similarly to the badges of : Top 3 player, level 200, etc...
You can get these by completing "challenges", for example:

Get an award 300-??? times will give you a title of the names award, for example Air force general award will get you a "Air force general" title.

Or you can get a different kind of title, for example playing a GAME TYPE of Cooperative 300-??? times will get you a title: "Humans forever!" (I couldn't think of anything else...)


2) Terraform Skins (wtf?)

If you have obtained a commander skin, for example engineer's Zebra skin, you can equip it on your terraform too, and the terraform will look epic!. (I didn't talk about building/unit skins because that feels really wrong.)


3) Start of battle and End of battle scenes (Too silly for Zero-k but I'll just squeeze this in)

Each player has his own "profile", which includes the players title(if they have one), profiles background(the player's rank color), the player's level icon, the player's favorite unit and building, and the "titles" of : Top 3 player, lvl 200, etc...

At the beginning of a battle, each player's profile will be shown like this:


??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

VERSUS

??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

And pretty much the same at the end of the game, but just makes the losing sides profiles smaller and the won side profiles bigger and labels them as winners.






And now the "Serious" ideas!:

1) New units

A) Creeper (I don't know I'm bad at making up names)

This new unit will be added into the striders section.
The unit is pretty special, the unit has no guns, turrets, or anything that shoots, it is a walking E.M.P bomb, equipped with spider legs that can climb walls. Once it dies, it stuns ALL enemy/ally units/buildings in range for around 20 seconds. You might think : "oh well that's easy to counter just kill it before it gets close", but no...
The unit's special ability will be teleportation! teleportation or self destruct will NOT work if stunned or disabled.
Self destruct wont be that fast, it needs to be counter able, so 10 seconds.
This unit will cost 5-10k metal, depending on health, ranges and etc...

B) Hades (yea... bad at making up names again)

This unit will go into the striders section too!
We are in desperate need of tank strider!
This special tank will be very fat!(Like @Kosynthary 's elo).

It can only shoot once, a single time! The tank will have thousands of hit-points(70k-150k), and only a very high terraform can stop it, otherwise it just goes over it.
Now why can this tank shoot only 1 time? Well, it's main goal is to destroy a Super-weapon, with it's big amount of hit-points, it can easily go through defenses like Desolators.
And once you get close to the target, you can release the super strong laser that will go easily through funnel web shields, and destroy terraform like its butter.

C) Nebula
It's in cheats, just add it! but make it stronger, it has great potential.



Probably none of silly idea's or some of the "serious" will be added, but this can stay here, maybe bring up similar ideas that will fit the game more, or something else.

actually im on board for terraform skins, that'd be kinda cool, maybe someone would want a hexagon tile pattern, someone else might want wooden planks, just as long as none of it looks like natural terrain it should be fine

but why on earth do you think the hades should have THAT MUCH hp? to my knowledge, the detriment is the highest hp unit in the game at 34k? the hades' suggested lowball hp pool is more than double that

Honestly, I believe these suggestions would fit right up the silly idea alley! I was afraid that my suggestions are not silly enough, myself, but the point was less so to be silly and more so to suggest something silly to suggest. Aka, I made the post for ideas I doubt would be considered!

Either way, cool to see you join the gang with a cool idea!

1) Player Titles

@Chomolungma I had a similar idea with some differences: titles gives per awards in game type (ffa, 1v1, teams, etc.) and combined based on a couple of awards (ex: if you get most/a lot of airforce general and master grill-chef you could get badge "Fire breathing dragon"). In this way we will have many badges and more people are happy. That's why I made http://zero-k.info/Forum/Post/248025#248025 (to be able to see how it would work, who has the awards, etc.), but did not finish all the grand plans...
