How about using this Bad Boy as a boss?

Check this guy out. I present the UberLord. I was just experimenting when this came out. >

A warlord that shoots 6 seeking rockets instead of 1.

I want to see a picture.................

I was considering your uberlord as a boss because of the challenge when I came across this... http://ini.hazelwhorley.com/DoomMonsters.html

If anyone has ever played the game doom, well then you might like these monsters. And what I would really like to see are these monsters in DC for more of a variety but i don't know that is my opinion.
Ive tried these monsters already on invasion offline, and IMHO I really liked how they looked and played especially the huge queen like spider

So tell me what you think...

I would say warlord wave is hard enough....

The huge spider queen is called a vagary(forgot the name earlier) and here's a supposedly upgraded version of it... http://ini.hazelwhorley.com/vagarynew.html

New monsters would be cool - not to say that the current ones aren't tough, just that the variety/change would be nice.

Bring 'em on!!! I remembered my guns *flexes biceps*

I agree more variety in monsters would be better. Thought I'd give them a quick try (offline). So, first impressions of the DoomMonstersv2:

They do look quite different, rather than re-skinned satore/skaarj monsters. A definite plus

Quite a few error logs for turn and jump animations not found in halloweenimpmesh and hellknightmesh

Health looks like it should be configurable on most of them, but not the score. I played using the default settings, and the monsters seemed to have 150 health or 2000. A bit of a jump

Difficulty was typically about that of a skaarj. Damage done was around 20-30, same as a skaarj for most monsters

Was a bit disappointed with the Sawyer, JumpsuitZombie and the LabcoatZombie. They didn't seem to do much, and seemed to want to be holding a weapon

Cyberdemon and the HellKnights looked good. Didn't seem to do much damage though, so fairly weak though large - perhaps too large for some maps

I had great hopes for the Pinky. I remember them from Doom, and thought a charging rhino-like creature could really be a great addition. And perhaps it is. Only disappointment was that it glided on four static legs rather than charging. Perhaps I had something configured wrong for the animation? Took a while to get the Pinky working due to a typo in the ini file. Again damage at about 30 - perhaps could be a bit higher since no long distance attack (probably configurable)

Red Imp was good. Liked the way it jumped quickly from one spot to another. Fairly fast, so a bit different.

Brown Imp. Looked grey, but impressive. Liked this one. Tough - 2000 health for a score 6 monster is a bit excessive though.

HalloweenImp. Basically exactly the same as the brown imp, with a different skin and projectile trail. But I liked it.

Vargary. Would need an Admin to rule if the appearance fits on DC. Liked the concept of a large spider type creature, but unfortunately it doesn't walk up walks. 4000 health is a bit much. Animation is better. But unfortunately doesn't do much. Hit one with a link and it stands still taking the damage. Keep on for 20 seconds and it dies. Nice explosion when it does go. So, definitely different, nice firing animations and does a bit more damage than the other monsters. But fire rate perhaps not high enough, as with the other monsters

So, for me - and everyone will be different - I found the Brown/Red/halloween imps to be good, though rather similar. These, plus the Pinky and the Vagary could work as additional monsters on DC.

Just my thoughts.

If you can get it to work and approved by the owners of DC I'm all for it and would love to see them in the game.

I used to run the doom monsters on my server. Alot of players really liked the vagary. The down side was the package size. I believe it was a 25+ meg download...I received complaints about the long download. Most likely new players didn't even bother with it.
I see though that Iniquitous has made the vagary available separately now so maybe.

My server used to use Iniquitous' Doomlord and Icelord for pets.
I think I had it where the Icelord required 1500 dren and doomlord was 3000...boy did it make things interesting.
The rest of the pets were standard monsters, but recolored from the monsterpack (i think there was a brute that had link guns instead of rockets though)...The recolored skin helped differentiate monsters from pets.

Good point. The Vagary animation is about 14MB, the rest of the Doom Monsters around 65MB. A bit big.

I made a new skin for the doom dude. Here is the new UberLord. I also have a few screenies for ya.
