It'd be good to use the giant MOSRot a la PD, although you could stylize it somewhat. Not so sure about the glows because they show up above the buy menu, which would not be great when ordering within the area...

Do you have any more images for us, Darlos? I'd like to see how it's coming along.

Well, Darlos told me to make a gif of the white Flux. They're apparently the harvesters of the faction, he should really tune the gold income a bit however.

Understatement of the year. :P

I really can't see how to tone it down, though. Maybe make an invivsible, inifinite ammo digger for them to hold or something. :???:

Or just reduce the amount of gold they get per unit of matter.

I think the minimum is 1 gold per pixel, and you can't get .5 oz per pixel or something. I don't know, might be wrong.

If he can't, he can always make it so that it waits for multiple pixels before giving a unit of gold.

That'll do, then. :)

Ah, just figured out a crystal idea:
Flux converter crystal
-Great when you need offensive units quickly, converts any white flux near it into any of the other fluxes. These crystals need to be charged with the energy of the flux you want the white flux to convert to, aka you'll need to sacrifice a flux of the desired color to the crystal. Once converted, they can't be converted back to white flux.

And as for the border representation: Animated dashed line circle type, and have a emanating glow around the crystals to give the idea of simulated space being created.

Huh? What? You didn't expect a race of balls of energy to glow?

@Income Issue:
I'm still trying to figure out how to balance the income issue, while still making it work the way I want. I want tougher terrain to give more income, but doing it that way results in an explosion of income. I tried dividing the incoming terrain strength by 10, but its still intense. I could try 100, but I'm afraid that would just negate some income all together. Oddly, you can add decimal numbers to the team funds, and nothing goes wrong. I'm not sure if they just get rounded off, or if the income is actually a decimal number but it only shows the integer part. If that were the case than that would make this easy...

I could probably make a slightly more complex method of keeping track of income, such as spawning an invisible object somewhere that gets a variable increased as the flux take in matter, and then it resets the variable and increases the team funds by 1 whenever that number reaches a certain amount, like 100 or 500 or whatever.

Global would work too, wouldn't it? I have no idea if this would work, but you could keep track of each team's income by making a table(?), with the first value being the team number and the second value being your keep-track variable.

At least they're not a race of Edward Cullens. *shudders*

I'm pretty sure this is the case, as I've been able to have gold lost at increments of 1/12 of an ounce.

Glow does not equal Sparkle. At all.
