My father wants me to be a journalist but I would probably hate it. That kind of media is too biased and unilateral, in my opinion.

I like to write...

You could be a critic for movies, books, cheesecakes and stuff. Seing as how you like to critique and reveiw things...

You could start your own independent reporting /newspaper/tv news show/online news/review company. You could certainly give the media a breath of fresh air and realism.
(sorry about being off-topic)

Maybe. Now please, stop talking about me and start talking about Khimera.

I think the transitioning aspect of the maps is really interesting. The part where you said you can see some of what the next map will be like.

the transitioning isn't really that amazing just that if you play the maps in alphabetical order you get to see some of the objects that will be in the next map. Alphabetical order is (beach, islands, jungle, plains, streets) An example of the transition is on plains there is a city in the distance.

Still it is nice, I mean foreshadowing is an excellent technique to use to give this mappack a more cohesive feeling.
Btw, since this isn't a "trilogy" anymore, will this be called something else?
like "Khimera ______" or " _______ of Khimera"
Some words that could fill in the blanks: legend, saga, series, lore, battlefronts

i actualyl don't know

Name suggestions would be nice

how about something overly dramatic and mindbogglingly outrageous and out of this world...


how about: Khimera - the end is nigh
Khimera - world in ruins

I did this on another WIP topic, maybe they wont mind.>.>

ahh idk I want somewhat of an epic name but not one that is completely outrageous and all the names about destruction and ruin i now say no too because Khimera is and was not designed to be an ugly war torn planet it really is supposed to be a natural planet that just has some cool battles on it

edit i looked up what a group of 5 works is called 3 is trilogy 4 is tetralogy so i assume 5 is pentalagy or pentology and 7 is heptalogy idk but i don't like pentalagy or pentology

Well, if you don't want the map name to be war-related, and you want the name to reflect nature or something awe-inspiring, how about:
Khimera: Planet Lost in Time
or
Khimera: The Forgotten World
or
Khimera: Cradle of Life
or
Khimera: Ancient Empire
or
Khimera: Jewel of the Galaxy (my favorite)

Pentology... Sounds like the study of... Pents?

I like to call it a "planet pack", because it is a map pack comprised of maps that take place in the same planet (ooooooh I'm so clever[/sarcasm]).

"The Khimera Series," do you like that name?

How about Khimera Battlefronts?

Hmm, it's weird in my opinion, "Battlefront" is a word that sounds better when used in its singular form (and we all know pandemic/lucas arts decided to give SWBF that name because it was obviously "inspired" by the battlefield series).

Khimera Anthology?

that sounds quite good. Khimera: Battlefields?
you could have Khimera: Collection, Khimera: Battlegrounds (change of battlefronts) maybe Khimera Wars or Khimera: Justice?
i think Khimera: Planetpack sounded quite good

Sounds good to me. (simple title, yet effective and true to the game)

EDIT: Although Anthology and Planetpack are good as well.

I'm gonna go with Khimera Battlegrounds it's simple to the point but still cool

Sounds good.
Looking forward to the release....
