BF:Evo Mercenary army list version 1 now available

[Paladin]

I've taken mercs to a new level and created some generic rules for building custom units as a whole and determinining their point values via a system of addon type features. Certain higher skill & greater quality units will require higher points than standard issue troops to reflect the higher cost of funding and training units.

The spreadsheet has 4 tabs:
Troops - basic requirements for building troops, determining core skill level, etc.
Weapons - contains all weapons currently released and extrapolates info for additional units.
Equipment - armor, targetting gear and advanced equipment
Testing - Recreates canon units using these custom rules for mercs for comparative purposes.

Let me know what you think.

the warlord/mercenary list needs an AA option, something like the warsaw pact 23-mm anti-aircraft gun ZU-23-2 (can be towed or mounted on platforms such as BMDs m113s technicals )

I have had a look at your cost tables and they look good. I have been wondering how to cost the units for my MOD but had no idea how to go about it. I like your modular system so I think I will give it a go. The only difficult thing is how to cost the special rules I have devised. Hopefully it will not be that difficult!?!

 

[Iorwerth]

Should points for units and extra options all be divisible by 5?

Looking through the Units on Hiromoon's cards this seems to be the case.

If using Paladin's tables I presume the simplest thing to do would be to round up or down?

 

[Ben2]

Rounding to the nearest 5 or ten keeps it simple. I'm perfectly fine with infantry costing +8 points per model or whatever, but some people may not be.

 

[Paladin]

I don't have a problem with odd numbers, but if you are going to round, I'd probably round up to further reflect the higher costs of mercs.
