Dark Avatar + Weapons.

Will they have new weapons in Dark Avatar?

from GalCiv2 Forums
So, like the above line, will they have more weapons and techs in Dark Avatar? It would get really stale to have the same old tech tree over and over again. To bad they don't have techs for every individual race.

With the tech tree the strongest flaw is the lack of zooming. But I would not mind having some variation in naming also. Laser 1-5 seems bit uncreating somehow

It's very difficult to think up a lot of weapon names. Plus it could be confusing to have every weapon tech having a different name. At least you know laser 5 is better than laser 2.

Having Laser V isn't the most creative thing in the world. What would be cool is have a weapon creator. Vary things like color, damage, size, and cost.

EX: Drengins' laser 5 is red, while the Terrans' are blue.

um there is a way by editing the XML files to change the aspects of the weapons like damage, size, and cost but color I haven't seen changed yet.

Color could be changed by modelling. Although here I think he's talking about the laser shot, in which you need to change the animation (still in a modelling program I believe).

HAving something like laser 1-5 actually makes sense. If you think about it weapons are created, given a name, improved upon(but still have the same name), and then eventually become outdated by something similar but different. i.e. bow and arrows to crossbows to hand-guns to whatever happens next.

It would just be easy to have a laser color for a custom race.
