Genestealer Gamemode

[th6795]

So genestealers are cool, but they're obviously very OP. This issue is to document a concept for a roundstart genestealer gamemode to keep them in the game, flesh them out as an antagonist, and balance them a bit:

• Roundstart Genestealer cultists will represent the 4th generation cultists, Primacii
  • This generation of cultist is able to pass as human, which makes sense for our server in terms of allowing them to be roundstart and initially undetectable.
  • Three "classes" of cultist: Nexoses, Sancti, and Biophagi
  • Nexoses: leader, one of these per round
  • Sancti: assassins, basically more skilled in combat skills
  • Biophagi: medicae, more skilled in medical / engineering shit
  • Each class should be delineated by skill differences, and perhaps some roundstart equipment (?)
  • Will have a variety of objectives to complete
  • Convert people to follow the cult by sticking their tongues down their throat (probably just current genestealer conversion ability- grab and convert)
  • Need to discuss if converted people should be assigned one of the "classes", or if they should just be generic followers who remain as they previously were skill / gear wise.
• Once all objectives have been completed, the Genestealer cultists will be able to call upon the Broodmind which will summon the Purii (purstrain Genestealer, the one we have now). This will be the end game for the Genestealers, as the Purii goes around cutting off heads.

Obviously work in progress in terms of fleshing out the concept

the leader class should be voted on similar to the cult leader for blood cultists or it should be a separate thing you can choose to try on get roundstart

@ThatchedRooves fair, some type of mechanic to ensure that whoever gets it wants it. Also, need to brainstorm the unique abilities for each class. It could just be skill differences, but would be cool if there were some abilities to go with it. Equipment too.
