We all know in almost (if not all) RTS's there is a source of income, where you pick up money by harvesting things. Tiberian Sun = Tiberium, StarCraft = Minerals/Vespene, etc...

Since this is Halo, what do you think will the income be? A goldmine on Halo?? Lol

U probably get just a set amount of money at the start of a game and power plants will probably be for power or maybe you might get bonus stuff if you find old forerunner structures.

That is a great question, Tyler, and I hope the mods might be able to give us an answer.

I would guess that humans mine some sort of mineral or gem of worth. We know they have in the past because a lot of the bunkers and such that Master Chief trained at in the books were old mineral mines from when the planets were first discovered that were transformed into heavy-duty militarized training grounds.

OIL!!!:P

good Q i dont no the ans lol

OIL!!!:P

Recycling plants? You recycle metal from battle sites.

Also what about all those rocks? I'm sure some of those won't just be stone...

something like that would not work in any way for this game.

 

something similar to what they did with bfme2 is probly what were going to see. but this is going to be more on the warside of stuff and less about gathering resources.

In case you didnt know, Prowlaz...

In most RTS style games, you need resources in order to buy your units, other wise you could make an infinite of units (or fill up the population limit very fast)....

There are several ways that the recources could be done. And I doubt ES will tell us any time soon.

1. Have recource deposits around the map, and have some unit collect them (this is the type for AoE, but I hope it isn't in HW)
2. Command points around the map that give you recources when you capture them
3. Recource buildings that give your recources when you build them

Can anyone else think of ways that have been tried, or should be tried?

Outside tripping in the broken city.
Outside kicking in the broken city,
there's nothing wrong with that.

Oh I know, Hm, Ships could come in every now and then and drop of recources, maybe, the more command posts gathered, or hangers built, or something like that, the more and sooner the supply ships arrive. I don't know, I can't think of any other ideas for resources. . .

I wonde what kind of money they will be using. I'm sure that ES is going to break away from the wood, gold, etc. that was in the AoE (at least I hope they do). The question is, what will they switch to? Will they use one kind of currency, or have something similar to Company of Heroes, that is military related, but still each is used in its own way?

You guys are going to have to clarify. My RTS knowledge is limited to AoE and Warcraft 3. What type of currency did they use in Company of Heroes?

---

It was munitions, fuel, and manpower. Manpower was used to create soldiers, along with muntions. Fuel and manpower were used to make tanks. When calling in air strikes, you used your recources accordingly, so it wasn't exactly free. Please correct me if I'm wrong someone. I don't even own this game, but I like their branching off from the typical resources.

Maybe I think someone may have referenced spots that you can hold to get resources. Just a little more on that. Maybe landing pads or areas where resources can be dropped in by supply ships? Good topic though I've really got no idea hopefully ES will make a good decision on it.
