(game)

not much you can do about chaos relics. just hand them to the inquisition. anyone else, and it causes problems

I started playing this again after a long time away.

Is 0.701 the latest version?

And has anyone else been running into issues that if you grow your chapter enough people just start to disappear? I've discovered that if my Honor Guard squad grows to about 200ish, my Librarians and Chaplains start disappearing. Same if I try to put a lot of people into a single company. Is there any way around it?

It bums me out, because grow your chapter like cancer amuses me.

Make sure you equip the plasma bomb to a small, elite group, and then be sure to raid, not land or attack on the planet.

does anyone else have an issue with the Chaos lord?

I kill him, and that should stop the chaos uprisings, but they just ramp up in frequency.

You can give Chaos, but not Daemonic artifacts to the Ecclesiarchy and it'll be ok.

>It bums me out, because grow your chapter like cancer amuses me.
it may be that they still exist, it's just that the list can't display all of them.

try getting some battle brothers killed or transferred to other companies to check.

>getting some battle brothers killed

What heresy is this?

it was bound to happen sooner or later. that's why you recruit.

hit enter too soon. You can't transfer honor guards out of the HQ either. I suppose I could leave them in Company 1 and just promote them to termies, but even then, I'll hit a limit eventually.

Why is it that my color code thingy when I create a custom chapter nothing but green?

Anyone else miss the old Chapter Master threads?

Dunno m8 same for me
Gives everything the name back e.g. Gyrojet to bolter, and when I downloaded it I could actually play the premade chapters

For me
The tale of the wary ships
>at the beginning I would just unload everyone onto an extreme ork planet
>wiki advises to bombard instead so do it
>'The orks are well fortified and take no losses, 25 billion imperial citizens here, 6million die in the barrage
>say fuck it and hop to next planet wth tyranids on it

>there's no option to bombard
Whut

There is a fix on some forum if you search for chapter master green whatever-its-called

Its because you can only bombard if you've lost control of the planet, otherwise, the tab is to purge.

The original genestealer infestations, despite how huge they are, don't actually attack anything, don't take control of the planet. They're there to build up some sort of counter to call in the hive fleet for the real nidfucking.

What exactly does rapid fire do? I assume it fires more rapidly than non-rapid fire, but how much so? Is it better to equip Devastators with Missile launchers or lascannons?

bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=151209.195

does anyone else ever use save scumming to get that Dark Age battleship?

I just keep loading and reloading until the ruins/artefact i find is the Slaughtersong. Then I roflstomp space battles.

Please, tell me more of this magical ship.
Can it destroy ork blob fleets?

if I get it to show it's broadside in front of the other strike cruisers, my fleet can survive long enough to do damage to ork fleets, provided those fleets aren't horrifyingly large.

Is it under developement again?

I got it like 3 times, one of the saves was bugged and always killed me though
It's preddy gud, makes administration easier

If i remember right, it does multiple attacks per turn.
As for lasers or missiles, id say lasers, just out of sexual preference.

sometimes, i get false notices, where it says i get the ship, but it never shows up. it's pretty damn frustrating, but it's worth it. Makes most naval battles a walk in the park, provided you get your escorts out of the line of fire first.

You need to download the sprite (with or without shading) data file and paste it in your main folder. Fixes it but reverts the game to 6.5 (better version in my opinion)

no one has taken up the mantle of developer, i take it?

check the bay 12 forum, a few people expressed interest but beyond that I don't think so currently.

Don't know, but I've started playing it again

Wow. I was actually in the thread that the first working build was posted in, good to see people playing again.

I did that, but it still is just a green blank

i just wish the heresy uprisings didn't become so ungodly unmanageable.

Strange. Never not worked for me. Try the mega link posted in this thread. That one might be working.

okay so I deleted eveything, reinstalled everything but did the 'not shaded' sprites this time not the shaded ones, but now I get just a red x everywhere and green boxes still
can you look at these photos and see hwat I did wrong

...

Yes you've done it incorrectly, the mod folder method does not work.

1. Extract chapter master folder contents into IAS folder directly. No need for a chapter master mod folder.
2. Paste sprite data file in main file. Overwrite.

Will work.

So replace IAS images and text with Chapter Master images and text, I replaced original data.win with the 'shaded images' data.win

Yes indeed. You can also do the diplomacy replace (on 1d4chan) pngs if you encounter the wrong character art for factions in the diplomacy screen.

Diplomacy and names are good, but character profiles are still green screens even though I copy pasted the data.win.

Also when I try to load it leaves full screen and does this, you have to click OK a couple of times and then you're on the loading screen

We really should just create a Mega and upload the thing there so others can play more easilly

Can't explain why it won't work for you other than "warp" effects. Try the bay 12 chapter master page files if you haven't.

They say downloading the shaded sprite will fix it, but i did that so I don't know what to do.
Also fighting chaos cultists in ruins crashed the game for me

What do I do with daemonic shit? Do I just toss it?

Inquisition, they'll take it

fought cultists in ruins and I got this, abort ends the programme
daemons and chaos -> inquisition
chaos -> sisters of battle

I tried starting as lamenters. Purged a few planets of tyranids before having my entire fleet wiped out by a ork attack. I had to wait on the planet to start a crusade.

The hell does 'command sanctum has alien contamination' mean.. ?

Alien whores in the HQ.
Someone did not clean after the last orgy.

has that ever done anything?

Bumping to spread the word

>40k df mod
How the hell they handle df level of detail with futuristic stuff?

This game is conplicated and hard and I have no idea what my objectives are.

It looks hella cool tho.

Could it be? Lord Valerius Maleteno and Supreme Grand Master Ketibiorn Allard are reporting for duty. What has changed?
I do. They were what kept me on Veeky Forums. Now only /hhg/ does and it's going down the drain.

Anyone here from the old threads remember Ol' Zhoppus and Zhogax? The two Khorne lords who would bring a Black Crusade into your sectors and generally be a pain in your sides? Post music that fits with your time with them. youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Xwrs-tNc
>yfw your rage rose to greater heights than those two's

What word to spread? People know it's a dead game.

...

This thread will live in His name!!!

so that we are not seen as a cancr brought back from the dead let us speak of how our chapters have faired.
The Tale of the Repentant Destroyers before.
>Once they were the _____, but due to conspiring with 'tall humans' to help find a cure for the Red Thirst, but nay they were tricked, and an inquisitor declared them to crusade until they had truly understood the heresy they had committed.
>Their 1st, 2nd and 10th companies are almost always fielded together, and the 9th and 8th companies are not made wholy of devastators or Assault Marines, but the typical company compisition. As the 3rd to 9th companies constantly tour sectors hoping to find The Cure.
>However tragedy befall the 9th company when they descended upon a planet on the verge of being overrun by Orks, so the whole of the 9th company was deployed. However the failure of an orbital bombardment meant their position was overrun, only their rhinos survived as they were not deployed to the battle, fortifications deemed more important than mobility

at one point, in a previous version, I had chaos insurrections up the wazoo, I had to exterminatus some daemon worlds, and then I came across a world with a chaos lord on it. I slew him, and the incursions stopped

And I was left with a sector that was at peace, because nothing else came around to fuck with me. I had the Slaughtersong, I was buying ships out my ass because of how much req I had horded up, I had relatively good relations with the craftworld that had shown up. It was all good.

Then the save files became corrupted one after the other.

Fuck.

Maybe change your battle cry to 'Backup, Backup, Backup!', Is the Slaughtersong the ship you can find in ruins that requires requistion, I found that but didn't have enough requisition.

yeah, slaughtersong takes a shitton of req over a period of time, and you need at least one techmarine there to oversee repairs to full, but it'll make space combat less of a headache. Plus, you know, get a DAoT ship. Who's going to argue with you?

Is this game dead? What happened to the Duke fellow

can't work on it, either not enough time, can't accept money for it due to C&D order, etc.

backdoor talks with GW saying if he continued to work on it he'd get sued

Any changes to your chapters from the old days to the present? I changed the color scheme of Tundra Talons and renamed them as the Boreal Talons. Here's the Supreme Grandmaster in the new scheme.

And I changed the Scions' color scheme and they have been called "Christmas marines" because of it.

also, tip for people if they haven't already found it out.

If you check your star map near the beginning of the game, maybe within the first few rounds, and you find the planets with a tiny bit of heresy on it, there's a good chance the first one will have the chaos lord.

also, I can't remember, but can you choose to put your vehicles in front of your troops so they take the brunt of attacks?

is that for raid or full on assault?

Which of the two is better, anyway?

yeah in standard formation Rhinos go in front of everything as he couldn't figure out how to code transports i think.
I think you can only use tanks when you've unloaded troops and attacked, but it can glitch to let you use them anytime

Trying to make these guys less of giant bear joke and turning them into something neat. Going for a French/Polish thing now. Focus on armored columns, foot slogging infantry, and survivalist all around.

In game I tried going with no rhinos, only tanks, and always deploying my entire chapter full force save for the mixed 10th company.

Brother! So how much of your chapter remains as bear jokes? It's nice to hear that you're going for a more serious angle. As for me I'm trying to add an Odyssey angle to the Scions, or rather how one BA successor chapter lost their fortress monastery to a bunch of SoBs.

An Odyssey thing would be cool as shit. There's still some bear puns here and there to keep it light. My scout marines are still called cub scouts, my chapter master is still Wojciech named after the polish artillery bear,shit like that.

>There's still some bear puns here and there to keep it light. My scout marines are still called cub scouts, my chapter master is still Wojciech named after the polish artillery bear,shit like that.
And that makes me happy. Bear puns always cheer me up. So now your marines are Polish/French marines who love tanks and bears on the weekends?
>An Odyssey thing would be cool as shit.
Thanks, user. It pretty much started out as the chapter's two biggest buttons being pressed leading them out of their home sector, a massive Warp rift swallowing their sector, a penitence crusade for allowing it to happen, and then the chapter slowly forget where their sector was located.

Wait wait wait, Chapter Master is back?

Well, time to rev the War Redeemers again

it's not really back, we're just sharing our experiences with it.

development is still dead

Oh... Well, a good ol' run wouldn't hurt, for old times sake.

How steep's the learning curve on Chapter Master?

let's just say you need to save scum a lot.

Is there a wiki?

i don't know.

if there isn't, someone should make one, though

so far, these links provide the most information:

1d4chan.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)

tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/ChapterMasterhttp://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/ChapterMaster

how did you get your images to appear, I downloaded base game, chapter master and 'shaded sprites' but still can't get it to work

trial and error my friend triaal and error. Next weekend I'm going to start making a game guide as the one on 1d is for the original thing not the Interstellar army simulator version
Also read through the first link in the OP

got a question:

when you use an stc to upgrade your chapter,

do we know how much better the stats are?

post a link to the guide on Veeky Forums so we can see it

For anyone who's played today, have you had problems with saving exiting full screen, and fighting cultists in ruins causing coe errors
explanation for most things
>1d4chan.org/wiki/Chapter_Master_(game)
out of date guide for most things
>1d4chan.org/images/8/8b/Chapter_Master_Manual.pdf

The STC you 'spend' in the 'Armenarium' [where techmarines hangout] it will say what bonuses you have

You gon' die a lot.

Never send your entire chapter down a Necron Tomb World nor a Space Hulk. Last version i played usually worked really well to get the Chapter Master a bike, give him the Plasma Bomb and let him ride into the sunset that is the Necron Tomb core.

i know about the bonuses, but how much better is it, numerically and statistically? Is it really worth it?

ballin'

i kind of wished there's be an option to sell things in Chapter master, if only to exploit, what i think is hilarious: getting free weapons from SoB and =I=.

5-10% bonus to damage or armor per upgrade and they stack. IIRC double armor upgrade gives you 48 AV terminator armor.

AV?

also, interesting trick, if you don't have the manpower to take out heretic or xeno worlds, but you don't want them pumping out ships, just leave an escort ship (actually, any vessel will do) to sit on top of the star system so they can't get anything into the air.

I've had a chaos incursion produce many chaos aligned worlds, but kept them in check until i had the chapter numbers to deal with them with this method.

Yeah, liked the idea of medieval french heavy Calvary and Polish hussar being translated to predator tanks with Caparisons and hussar wings screaming into combat with battle brothers hitching a ride on the sides while popping off a few shots before they dismount.

Slowly forgetting your home sector for space marines is got to be devastating. Forgetting your world and the people you swore to protect sucks.

Old game and the generator.
>a ride on the sides while popping off a few shots before they dismount
A Heavily armored drive by sounds fun.
>Slowly forgetting your home sector for space marines is got to be devastating. Forgetting your world and the people you swore to protect suck
They remember but they forget where it's located. Marines die, things get misplaced, in-jokes get taken for face value and sometimes the marines before you try to make it hard on you on purpose. As for the sector somewhere around M37-M38 a Crusade was launched to take it back for the Emperor after the rift disappeared, and a bunch of Sortias got all the glory while the Frenzied Scions were off busting their pauldrons half a galaxy away. Possibly because the Sisters had a harsh view on the marines, or because they thought the marines abandoned the place they took over the fortress monastery.
