Introduction
Hello everyone! In this "guide", I will share some of my ideas that could/need to be added to TABS!

This can also have some community suggestions! I'd probably not add onto this very frequently, so some ideas from y'all would be nice.

Any copypastas that are commented are forbidden and will be removed ASAP!

Please note that I don't know how these could be balanced, so I could let Landfall decide.

With that out of the way, here are some of the ideas I have!
Units
Medusa


Chicken Man

All I can think of for him is the voice, which is just someone making chicken noises.

Frankenstein's Monster


Yes, this unit would be called Frankenstein's Monster. Lots of people argue about this.
Factions
Egypt

Sure, many people have made their own Egypt factions for TABS, such as the Hidden Units mod,[totally-accurate-battle-simulator.thunderstore.io] but what if Landfall made their own?

Industrial/Steampunk

Originally posted by Bulborb87:

One faction that could work could be an industrial faction with "primitive" machinery. Or maybe this machinery could be powered by steam to make it into a sort of "steampunk" faction!

Think of this as like the neon faction, but just in the far past instead.

Monster Faction

This faction could consist of numerous monster-like creatures!
Achievements
  • Daring Dynasty: Win a battle with every Dynasty Unit
  • Time To Get Creative!: Make any form of custom content
  • Gotta Go Fast: Win a level in 10 seconds or less
  • Walk Like an Egyptian: Beat the Egypt campaign (goes with the faction)
  • Praise The Sun: Beat the Egypt campaign without being defeated even once (goes with the faction)
Map/Unit Creator
More themes (Map Creator)

I just feel like 6 themes for custom maps isn't enough. Maybe there could be themes like Farmer, Spooky, Wild West, or even some exclusive themes that (could) have unique properties, like a moon theme!

Even bigger maps (Map Creator)

The limit on how much landscape can be used in maps is just too small for me. Maybe when you increase the limit for landscapes, it also increases the amount of water!

Reload speed (Unit Creator)

Originally posted by CurriedMonkeys:

Changing attack speed on custom units does exactly what it says, but it doesn't do it to reload speed. So that could be a separate stat you could change when making custom units.
Higher value would equal to a faster reload.

Horse Unit Base (Unit Creator)

Originally posted by riverarubio88:

Even without knowing how to edit the files of custom units, a horse unit base would be very nice to have, especially if you want to make some sort of cavalry-esque unit.

Ice Giant Unit Base (Unit Creator)

I just feel like an ice giant unit base would be nice to have!

Waterfalls (Map Creator)

Originally posted by foxothefoz:

We're all familiar with those waterfalls in the base-game maps, so it would be nice if custom maps could also have them too! With them, we could make beautiful scenery!

Rivers/Flowing water (Map Creator)

To go along with waterfalls, having flowing water in maps could be really nice, especially with the watermill asset (from the Farmer 1 map)! This could implemented as either A: a prop with configurable settings, or B: a setting for the map as a whole. (Higher values = stronger flow/different direction)

Additional Guns (Unit Creator)
Originally posted by NINJANUGG3T1214:

The amount of guns in TABS is certainly high, but some people don't think it's enough.
Much like the Bee Creative mod by Grad, some additional guns could be from TABG (Totally Accurate Battlegrounds)

Tank Unit Base (Unit Creator)
Originally posted by Little_Mischeif 12:

A tank unitbase would be much needed for some people!

TABZ Weapons (Unit creator)
Originally posted by nohardfelines:

Since we have TABG weapons in the unit creator, people such as user nohardfelines feel like TABZ (Totally Acurate Battle Zombinator) weapons could fit in as well! Although, some might be similar to existing weapons.

Underwater Assets (Map Creator)
Originally posted by jpolimeni16:

A lot of underwater-themed objects for the map creator could be really cool! Things like coral reefs could really bring more detail to water.

Custom Armor (Unit creator)
Originally posted by jpolimeni16:

I don't know how this could work, but it could be proven useful with custom units!

Interchangeable Weapons (Unit Creator)
Originally posted by Nekuma:

A lot of ranged units tend to get their personal space invaded by melee units. So why not have them be able to switch to their own melee weapon?

More AI types (Unit Creator)
Originally posted by dust_eater66:

This could be a must-have for modders! I mean there is code in the game for a "Keep Running" AI type, presumably meant for horses.
Also just a personal preference, I wish there was an AI type that makes the unit not move or attack. That would be great for training dummies.

More Modern-themed content (map creator)

This could be really good for the map creator! Things like sandbags, military tents, even things like landmines could be a great thing for making maps!

Content Creator
Originally posted by spoofis:

This content creator would actually be able to make unique abilities, particle effects, clothing, weapons, etc. With it, we could make custom units look and behave much better!
...Or if you just want to make the most broken abilities imaginable for your overpowered units. That could be something that can be done, too. Ugh.
I can absolutely see this being an amazing feature added to TABS, since the stuff currently in the base game can get a little limiting.

Story Modes
Originally posted by monty:

I mean, it could open up a lot of possibilities for the game, especially for modders. Don't really know what else to say.
Bug Fixes
  • Fixing the Map Creator Music (It's always the medieval song no matter what)(This has been fixed!)
  • Fixing some items in the Map Creator (i.e. The cannons)(This has been Fixed!)
  • Fix the Transformed Chronomancer's wings
  • Update the foliage (All base game maps, not just custom ones.)
  • Improve the AI a little bit when it comes to slants or uneven terrain (Suggested by Excalibrated)
Miscellaneous
Custom Units in Multiplayer

Originally posted by The Dragon Studios:
I feel like if this was added, it would only work for friend matches.

Cinematic Camera

Originally posted by The Lamb:
This would just be a nice quality-of-life thing that could be added. You can watch the battle without having to move the camera yourself.

Additional Teams

Originally posted by woodenplanks1:
A lot of players, such as planks here, want to have more than 2 teams for the game. Two team colors I have thought of for this could be green and yellow.

A way to delete multiple custom units, maps, battles, campaigns, you have downloaded or saved at all or the ability to reset custom content to having nothing (if there is one already tell me please im begging the game barely loads anymore :sob:)

All of these ideas deserve to be in the base game.

OK
