Warhammer 40K Mod: Twilight of the Imperium

[panther-anthro]

There are two Legions who were were purged, as you say, prior to the Heresy. Why, how and who they were is a mystery though. There are also hints that some of the Legionnaires from those Legions were folded into others - again, why is never answered.

Yup, we have no idea who the two lost legions are or much of anything about them.

There are a very few hints in the Horus Heresy books with at least one mention of the Space Wolves having been let loose on another, unnamed Legion prior to them attacking Prospero. It is hinted they are the Emperors attack dogs for wayward Primarch's/Legions

Don't really know how your supposed to simulate running literally millions of worlds with literally billions of ships as well as a technology tree that goes backwards.

While it is true that the Imperium's tech level has stagnated, that isn't to say they don't make progress, it just takes ages for any newly found tech to be accepted owing to the Cult Mechanicus needing centuries to approve anything. Admittedly, they have forgotten a lot of tech they had during the Great Crusade, but they do have some stuff they didn't have back then as well.

And then there are other races, who do make progress. The Tau for one and it could be argued that the Dark Mechanicum and the Traitor Legions do make advances, even if it usually involves lots of Voodoo and skulls....

Willing to help. - can make 3d models

Its the millions of worlds thing I'm more concerned about tbh. No mod or even game could ever reasonably expect to do the sheer scale of the Imperium or 40k as a whole justice.

I think the mod team is pretty settled on attempting a single sector first. I don't think the entire galaxy could ever be simulated fully, but it's possible to do a replicate model, most worlds in 40K aren't really important.

The Imperium still advances, they are just slow about due to being wary of the influence of chaos in new designs as well as the fact that a lot of their tech is just plain better than anything they could design themselves and they are already capable of building it.

Also, it's the strict adherence of the Cult Mechanicus to the STC system that prevents true innovation. Unless it is an STC derived tech, the Imperium doesn't want to know. There were CM Magos during the Great Crusade who innovated, but they were mostly wiped out during the Heresy and Schism on Mars.

Yup, this is correct.

Also, we intend to focus on a sector or Segmentum. Also, there's actually not that many named worlds/solar systems so even a full map isn't feasible if we cut out things with no lore.

How hard is it to learn to code events, I can't code yet, but I have quite a lot of experience writing 40k blurbs and stuff. I would like to write-up some events if you need some writers.

Not very in most paradox games. Sent a pm.

The Imperium seems like a Fallen Empire would suit it well, at least in some aspects.

Actually we think Necrons are more fallen empire types or necrons but I can see where you would think that.

 

[sevsquad]

Yeah Humanity makes *some* progress, which is a lot more than you can say about the necrons.
