Nodal Wars Unit Creation

How to and Example While we go through the steps we will also go through an example and help illustrate the process….

A typical Stat Card

A few Definitions….. Unit Type  Unit Name/Model Used Variable  Units that can “transform” Form  Units have a basic form. Variable units will have a different form for each mode. This simply details what the movement mode is for a unit in each form. Damage Capacity  How much a unit can withstand Movement Mode Type  If a unit is an Aircraft or Tank (Basic Frame of a unit and the base way it moves) Movement Modifiers  If a unit has Supersonic or Flight or can Leap (Enhancements to basic movement Mode) Target Rating  How difficult a unit is to hit Defensive Specials  Systems that help protect a unit Other Specials  Systems such as dual Pilot that enhance a units capabilities Devices  Electronics or mechanical tools used to enhance capabilities Transport  Ability of a unit to “carry” infantry or other units

Body Factors Each unit consists of a number of factors that are multiplied together to get the final point value for the body of a unit. Really good units with poor pilots may be close to the same value as really poor units with excellent pilots. Weapons are figured out and added to the body’s point value in order to calculate a total value of a unit. Factors Damage Movement Pilot Skill Defense Combat Specials Other Specials Hand to Hand

The Cost of Speed….. The speed of a unit gives a “Factor” that is used to calculate the Movement Factor. Units with variable modes will calculate the movement multiplier using Speed and the Movement Mods and calculate a multiplier for EACH form. The average of the multipliers for each mode will be used to calculate the Movement Factor.
