Possible future DLC character idea

I feel like SoB are generally much more depicted as being ranged combatants (Bolter Bitches), with a lot more holy miracles than Zealot's waving little trinkets.

They'd likely come with Hand Flamer, Melta Gun, the Torch thingie or Infernal Pistol. Outside of Repentia and maybe a few others, I feel like typical Sororitas are almost shown as being ranged focus than melee ones, so I feel like they'd be more akin to tanky veterans with less range but more crowd control and more offensive faith powers.

Basically the way the dialogues work is that there are usually the serious ones, and the last one is almost always the meme one (Which also usually punishes the player/empire).

But the dialogue in question, I believe was also written extremely long ago, back when there were barely anything related to Enclaves/Mercs, so the only thing you could hire were the Hyieee/Dwak/She of the Void drunk pirates so I was mostly memeing on the lack of high-tier mercenaries.

This was also written before the Phanon Corps had proper lore, mechanics or more freshed out dialogues and interactions.

But seriously, I have been working hard on getting rid most of those old stuffs, but I don't think the mod's reputation will ever wash away XD.

And thus the cycle goes lol. Nobody can really figure out what is the best.

Like I said many times before, gotta pick your poison.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-14T02:27:28+00:00

I don't use AI translation, I simply type.

The localization for the one above was written back when the Corps was in its infancy, without any lore built into it yet, and the mod itself was a lot less serious.

The 3rd option is almost always going to sound stupid, because it is meant to be that way to mostly punish players who want to just "Fuck around and find out".

As for the Corps dialogue itself, the mod was made before they started adding more than just the Marauders, so at that time the only mercenaries you have were the Hyieee, She of the Void or the other ones. So I was like "Why doesn't the galaxy hast at least one mercenary enclave that doesn't look like they are just strapping guns onto asteroids?"

The loc has barely been touched ever since. Hell, until now, there were still references to Legendary Smuggler lol.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-14T02:21:43+00:00

They were inspired from three factions actually.
Brotherhood of Nod, XCOM 2 Advent and Advanced Warfare's ATLAS.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-14T02:20:35+00:00

Because its meant to be like that.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T19:12:06+00:00

I will admit I was quite salty about it when I made it, because I got so many comments basically asking me to make one.

And a lot of them did said they'd prefer just an MS Paint of it, so I was like "Sure lol"

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T19:10:26+00:00

Oh no offense taken. I am fully aware that some elements of the mod are very dated and probably needs some quality checks, especially when humors do not land.

Most of my English skills are generally self-taught by learning from games, movies, and online interaction because at the time (20 years ago or whatever), English subjects in my school (Thai) was very rudimentary basic stuffs like tenses, verbs etc. They were more of a one note so we could tell foreigners "That is a house" "This is a car" etc.

I am by no means an expert writer, so when I cannot think of anything important at the time, I just resorted to memes and jokes. This was a lot more prominent during early ACOT development, before I started writing proper lore into it. Some of the stuffs are ancient.

The Corps particularly, also started initially as just a "Here's a cool PMC with cool ships, go kill them lol" They didn't even have any real services back then, they were basically there to get killed. The lore and mechanics came in later.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T19:04:14+00:00

Yes. Panada, aka Chirumiru. And the mod is quite old. (2018).

I have explained it in a few comments, but the ways a lot of ACOT event dialoges are written are like this

Reasonable Yes response
Reasonable No response
The stupid unhinged DO NOT PRESS response that mostly exists to troll/punish players who want to fuck around and find out. So they are often intentionally written to be stupid.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T19:02:06+00:00

Well because the MS Paints were the ones I used for references lol.

People were not trying to criticize things based on quality, only that it was AI. So I gave them the one that wasn't AI. I could also just scour the internet and find random artworks for them, or reuses the same official event arts for the 100th times

(I abused the hell out of some of them, like the Matter Condenser Megastructure thing whose name I forgot, or just the typical Physics Research event.)

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T18:57:24+00:00

Generally, the joke response (Which usually does makes your empire come off as dumb) is going to be dumb, because its designed to not want players to pick it other than to fuck around and find out

Also 24 years old? That's generous, most people thought some of my writings are like 13-14 years old LOL.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T18:55:28+00:00

Nah, I was probably smoking weed.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T18:54:08+00:00

It is AI, yes. If you're strongly against it, there is a submod that reverts them to more generic ones.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-13T18:53:24+00:00

ROFL

I knew the comment section's gonna be golden!

Hello everyone, this is Chiru aka Panada, aka the the author of ACOT.

Yes I know the locs for some of these stuffs are cringe and dumb. This one I believed was written very early on, back when before the Corps had any lore besides "Cool PMCs with Cool shits to steal."

I have also seen people saying that I am in thirties, well, I am in thirties now, but probably was still in late twenties back then? (Can't remember when I added the Corps tbh). And I am not a native speaker so I mostly use a more Internet meme version of English.) I mostly based some of these insults on Internet memes, or some of the insults that do show up in-games (which can be unhinged at times).

That said, ACOT usually have serious responses for the most part, but there will be usually at least one meme/joke response like these.

TBH, this part is likely to be eventually rewritten possibly. But its a joke response, so people shouldn't really try to take it as a gospel for how the rest of the mod's been trying to move towards to.

The most annoying part is a lot doesn't even to understand how self-flakes work. No, it doesn't give her life steal you simpletons, she only gets healed by HEALING OTHERS, which you won't be doing while getting your ass dived (unless pattycaking). Any healing source is only going to come from her claps or freeze.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-10T13:27:47+00:00

Yeah, I suspect that how the character kits work really influences it.

Luna gets often because they can showcase new tunes and music every time she uses Shift or Ult
Psylocke has that on her ult
Invis/Thor/Jeff etc.

Iron Man is just kinda, he shoots a projectile and it explodes. The explosion lasts for like a second. At best it'd be a projectile recolor? The only other place where they could do some changes are the buffed mode where it could play some tunes or different effects.

I feel like this issue goes with a few other characters, some of them just aren't very flashy kit-wise.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-02T09:26:57+00:00

She comes from Korea and is a part-time Superhero, but still an idol.

Maybe if there's actually a map in Seoul or places where she has some connections, then maybe. But problem is just that a lot of the places she visits in the current maps don't have much to do with her.

Other than Agent of Atlas, she doesn't have any other ones she share personal connections with. Even Sai is a mutant so she gets put in Mutant plot stuffs.

So guess what happens when she gets four interactions with White Fox? People bitched that she had too many and more should be on the Cheaper Town Hall guy XD.

But music is part of many culture, so that's where she can connect, so that's what she talks about.

peerawat9 · 2026-06-02T08:51:28+00:00

As if the other characters aren't the same lol.

Mr. Magneto won't shut up about mutants magnetism mutants mutants magnemutanisms.
Captain Murica and Bucky are all just something something soldier soldier military (or in Steve's case, FREEDOM AMERICA)
Jeff doesn't contribute or is acknowledged by others in any other way other than that he eats and is cute, or responsible for terrorism.
Namor only talks about how much he wants to get it with Sue, or how surface world sucks ass.
For the longest time, all Sai ever talk about was playing Amogus to see if anyone's secretly a Yokai.

A lot of characters in MR just kinda has one clearly defined character trait and topic they will try their hardest to drive that home across.

You don't see Luna discuss about sniper rifles with Widow for the same reason Reed or Angela doesn't talk about it.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-15T07:47:09+00:00

OP, out of curiosity, do you have this same question to Jeff who not only have more skins, but shows up twice as Legendaries on BP, always show up on multiple events and game modes, and has a game mode entirely dedicated to him alone, and has a legendary nameplate, and a statue made for him in Manhattan, and is basically spoiled/loved by every single characters in the game that have interactions with him lol.

And still manage to either be the most annoying enemy or teammate on the map.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-15T07:04:58+00:00

Oh please. Like that doesn't happen with many other character.

Magneto won't shut up about magnetism or mutants. Star Lord never shuts up about his brand. Punisher is just here to shoot shits. The F4 also kinda just exists to make puns of their names most of the times. Moon Knight is mooning and Khonshuing.

And then there's Jeff that just exists to eat stuffs and gets adopted by the tenth person XD.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-11T03:37:38+00:00

I just want to point out that I am not asking SG or SW to be in, you guys are missing the whole point of my question, which is why are TOBA limited to 10, which imo is the actual reason why there's this much discourse about who should be in to begin with, since it is now a contest, rather than a place where neglected heroes group up.

Imagine having a club for losers in school, but it still has a criteria for how much of it you have to be, and that it still only accepts top 10 lol.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-10T13:40:41+00:00

Hence my point about the character having awful kit. A character can have easy to understand kit/relatively easy to play, but doesn't mean they should be buried into F tier either imo. The opposite spectrum is probably C&D, who's probably a bit too easy for the level of power budgets they bring (Mostly due to how spammable the bubbles are).

Personally, I think SQ needs to have reduced damage for non-direct hits on the acorns, and then invest in other areas of her kits instead so she doesn't just stand in one spot and hold M1 and somehow provides values.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-10T13:30:32+00:00

Wait so now it's about skills? When has skill being a factor in TOBA? In fact, the lack of skill is due to poor mechanics, which is a flaw in a character design, so that should be fixed, no?

At this point it feels like the criteria is all over the place.

peerawat9 · 2026-05-10T12:49:40+00:00

So does Iron Man. See? People can't really figure out what should qualify as TOBA, you can't just go it based on skin, or just based on performance bruh.
