Read the last post if you want to know why this mod has been shut down.
*edit* if you dont feel like reading zoom down to my second post and youll get the info in a nutshell
Now im really not much of a good modder I’m better at storywriting. This was my idea 2 days ago and has evolved as such... this army is not a warhammer 40k army its something I thought up.
Ok this is the fluff
On the eastern fringe in a system called Artas ( art-as ) the imperium sent a few colonization fleets to colonize the 7 planets of the system Arta 1-7. Most of the planets were peaceful colonization’s but one planet Arta 3 a extremely dangerous deathworld (which is consider worse then Catachan) ran into issues with the plant life but actually very little with the animal life. The plants of the jungles were massive around the rivers and lakes but more farther away from any water were smaller. This confused the colonist but they thought little of it at the time. And the animals they noticed also were rare but seemed to be very old when found and all were battle-scarred animals from old rivalries with plants and other animals. Again this was also basically ignored. The Colonist managed to set up a few walled in cities and they were rather successful. In mining operations they discovered the planet was full of rich materials of every sort. While the people of Arta 3 started to relax in their riches and walled in cities safe from the jungle trouble stirred not far away in the stars. This system being recently colonized was not very well protected just a few cruisers and a regiment of the imperial guard on each planet.
The attack
Then the Tau fleet attacked the system so they could add it to there empire. The tau conquered 6 of the planets easily but Arta 3 was proving to be difficult. The Tau was not used to this kind of death world fighting and the Tau and the Guard lost more to local plant life then to actually killing each other. The regiment of guards that fought was eventually nicknamed the Spartans. But unfortaintly for the Guard they were outnumbered out gunned and the Tau control the air and the space around the planet. Eventually the Guard surrendered to the tau when surrounded around the Planets main city Corvena (named after the lead colonist that founded the city Varel Corvena) And with only a company of men left and constant bombardment from land, air and space the Spartans were forced to give up. After all the fighting the Spartans did the tau spared them and honored them as great warriors and asked them to join the Taus ranks in guarding this planet. The Spartans seeing no other choice joined them but they were never asked to fight just to guard Arta 3.
Aftermath
The fresh water supply the colonist brought with them started to run out and they were either forced to wait for Tau to bring more or risk the jungle and get more from were all the plants are much bigger and more dangerous. The colonist armed with lasguns and everything they could get there hands on left the city and journeyed to the river a few miles away. They had to kill many a plant that seemed harmless until it attacked. Many people died from anything imaginable. Plant vines were not really plant vines but really more like a hanging trap that grabbed you and pulled you up to its mouth up in the trees. And always the colonist felt that there were animals watching them from behind the trees. Finally when the colonist reached the river all of them drank deeply of the water for they thought the hard ship was over and celebrated. Once the colonist figured out where they were, they started the task of burning and clearing out the jungle they had just passed through ( they didn’t have time to do this before because the water would have run out by the time they got to the river so they had to risk the jungle ). But that night while they were resting half the colonist became very sick. While the others watched in horror as a full half of their number became sick and died for no apparent reason. The survivors buried the dead but for some reason didn’t care about the dead even the sons and daughters didn’t care that there mom or dad died. The apparent lack for care of the dead horrified them because they new they should be feeling something. Then some of the other colonist after a few days seemed a bit smarter and stronger then before. The older colonist didn’t seem so old any more they were full of energy and alive again like when they were 25 years old. When they returned to the cities and told there story to the Tau, the Tau were Horrified about this they knew something was wrong was very wrong. The veterans that served in the Regiment called Spartan soon devised a rebellion against the Tau.
The Fight
While the Tau were not accustomed to surviving in the death world’s heavy jungle fighting with its plants. The Humans (newly renamed the Spartans in honor of that Regiment that fought till it couldn’t fight no more) Were smarter, stronger, the old now like young people could fight just as hard, and they were extremely aware of their surroundings when in the jungle they were like the common animals of the jungle they could see everything going on around them including the plant life’s traps. The Spartans managed to throw the Tau off the planet. The Tau were frightened of this new enemy and did not invade the planet planet, but blockaded the planet so no one could leave it and enter it. The Spartans aware of this started building up many batteries of artillery that could shoot into the space around the planet.
The new people
A few months latter it was discovered that the babies were always coming out as double. Always twins and if she would have twins normally she had quadruplets. But then it was latter discovered that after the babies tasted the water 3 out of 4 times one of the twins would die. The Spartans wary of the water now tested it and it was discovered there was a virus in it that doubled the amount of offspring in every animal including humans. But the virus doesn’t spread to the offspring so the offspring have to taste the water to get it themselves. But it killed 1/2of the offspring 3 out of 4 times. This was the reason why the Spartans didn’t care about the dead the virus made them not because they would loose offspring to it and they had to deal with it. The virus also extended brain usage ( the virus didn’t make them smarter it made them think more ) and it extended the life of everything that catches it ( explains why the plants were bigger near the water ) and makes them younger longer as well ( why the old people felt like they were 25 ) the Spartans no longer dying at 80 or 90 or 100 discovered that the virus extended life for about twice as long ( so they died at 160, 180, 200 ) and they matured like normal humans in about 20 years but they were only old for 10 years before death. The Spartans now having double offspring and everyone living longer and younger soon became over populated on their planet. The planet being very rich in every kind of material made it a perfect candidate for a very war like society. Soon the Spartans changed their society into a socialist society. They eliminated money and the men all trained to be soldiers from a young age and took care of the house work and the babies while the women did everything else ( big switch huh but sense the men have to be soldiers they cant be working in a factory now can they so they stuck close to home )
The conquest
The Spartan army being as big as it was with very well trained survivors in every situation attacked the Tau Fleet around the Spartan planet and managed to break through the blockade and decimate the Tau Fleet. The Spartans new fleet ( which was built on the ground ) was small but very good at what it did and now veterans. Continued to take over the other 6 planets with lightening attacks of small but highly skilled and coordinated groups of tanks, Infantry, Aircraft and of course star ships. Only then did the Spartans rename Arta 3, Sparta. The Spartans now had a choice to make to stay in there system and attack the Tau's other systems or the Imperiums of man. They considered rejoining the Imperium but decided no, the reason was they didn’t like taking orders from a Emperor and the Imperials would consider them mutants and cleanse them all even though the benefit of longer life and younger life outweighed the dying part. So the Spartans formed the Spartan Empire and began building a fleet for another conquest.
This is a list of units I thought up
Auxilere ( cant spell it but its Latin) - basic infantry squad of normal humans from the planets the Spartans conquered in the system Artas, as the Spartans discovered the virus didn’t react well to the waters on these planets and thus abandoned putting the virus on any planet but there own.
10 man squad with an average range, average damage, with an average rate of fire (burst fire) with low health but good armor. Good against other basic infantry
Upgrades
Rifle - All ten men can be armed with a one shot rifle that’s long range, very powerful and very accurate, but slow firing ( good against heavy infantry weak against vehicles and light infantry because it shoots to slow and cant take down an entire squad of basics fast enough )
Rockets - only 3 men can be armed with rockets which is similar to the rifle except good against tanks and can blow back infantry of course but really nothing more. And goes well with the other 7 men with rifles.
Submachinegun - can arm all ten with this. This is a extremely fast firing, very weak damage, short range, its good against infantry but weak against heavy infantry because if fires pistol rounds like all submachineguns. Basically a close combat weapon that you charge with to attack enemy infantry.
Powersword- can arm 3 people like the rocket launcher. It’s very good against all infantry including heavy. It’s not good for taking out vehicles that’s not its job. It gives the unit a powersword and a pistol to go with it. Best used when the other 7 have submachineguns.
All Spartan infantry are good at close combat they are all armed with swords (yes swords not daggers, swords) on there back but this is last ditch unless your a submachinegun unit with 3 powerswords
Immortal - this is a Spartan squad leader (for all squads). He is good in all accounts but has no abilities to add to the squad. He is basically a powerful unit. He is from the planet Sparta and is armed with an assault rifle and an axe on his back. This assault rifle is powerful, medium range and extremely fast firing like a submachine gun and is good against everything except vehicles.
Spartan Warriors - These are the very well trained troops from Sparta. They are the are not the back bone though there aren’t many of them considering the 30 years of training ( that isn’t always intense there are relax times ) they are all very good shots they are all basically their own commander in that they are trained for every possible situation and are also taught how to be a leader if the need be (involves the veteran system, explain latter on).
( I can’t decide how many to put in a squad and they do get the immortal as a leader ) They have good armor, good health. They are armed with an assault rifle that is good damage, medium range with an average firing rate( burst fire ), extremely accurate. Good against all infantry types in all tiers (tier 2 unit)
Upgrades -
Clip drum - can be added to the entire squad at a high cost for it makes them shoot really fast. As it is baisicly a giant clip of ammo made round and flat for more ammo but allot less accurate. ( for the more elite units in tier 3 )
Heavy Machinegun - ( sense IM undecided on number of squad I dot know how many of these to a squad ) a high rate of fire that’s accurate and is powerful.
Rocket launcher ( same as above with number ) Like any rocket launcher and is of course good against vehicles and has splash damage on infantry if fired into a group of them.
Immortals - immortals are very good infantry. They are generally older warriors that are very experienced. Sense the immortals are Elite’s they are treated like gods from every soldier they meet and they expect no less because the only man higher up on the hierarchy of the Spartan army is the General himself. They are higher up from the Immortals that lead squads because of the veteran system ( hold on ill tell you ).
Immortals are limited to 1 squad sense they are rare in number. There are 6 immortals in a squad and they are good in all things. They have Anti tank grenade launchers on there assault rifles and they are heavily armored and have extremely good health like a chaos obil in abilities like handling any situation thrown at them. To get the Immortals you need the research Veteran system ( will tell you soon ) they already come with drum clips but are more accurate then the Spartan warriors with it.
Veteran system - the Spartan army basically has two systems of ranks the normal ranks and the veteran system. Immortals were involved in the system but filled out their veteran system and became Immortals. The system is basically a record that keeps what you have done in battle and what you’ve killed and what you’ve done. If you do all the things on the list you become an immortal ( which takes a very long time ) No matter what rank you are private, captain whatever you become an immortal but you don’t instantly join immortal squads you have to prove your worth as an immortal and lead squads of troops into battle which many an immortal never gets past because it requires you to be basically immortal to complete (its that hard to get past squad lead).
What the veteran system upgrade does - it effects all Spartan squads and enables you to build an immortal squad and then benefits that squad. What it does is whenever one of your squads effected kill a enemy squad of say guardsmen that squad becomes better at killing guardsmen so the squad is more effective to whatever its killed before ( this makes it so the player doesn’t throw away squads and pulls out if too many are dying and also prompt enemy players to be more aggressive in the beginning so the Spartan player doesn’t get the veteran system research) and if that squads killed vehicles before it can kill vehicles even better. But this research does not effect the squad when they kill enemy buildings.
This is researched in the Spartan barracks in tier 3 or 4 (some tier)
I think ive written enough for the moment this took a really long time to write ( 3 hours ) the Spartan vehicles can be made up more easily and can be generic.
o and the spartans dont believe in any god but themselves they believe that every human should either join them or die
