Who else wants to see this in TDM? :laugh:

Maybe you can also get some inspiration of the movie "Wild Wild West" with Will Smith. The movie itself is really bad, but it features a lot of steampunk elements. Anyway, I guess you all know that movie already... :)

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of steambot that would fit in our setting. :)

You have to admit it would be hilarious. :laugh:

There is still the option to scale it down you know... ;) Imagine an old weird professor riding a small spiderlike robot.

From the TDM wiki about the Inventor's Guild:

 

A mechanical carriage that walks on spider-like legs was unveiled at one trade fair. Although onlookers were fascinated by the device, it was slower than a horse and too large for most city streets, so no order for one was ever placed....

Er... no, it's not. Ordinary Daleks are not powered by steam. They're biological creatures that live inside (and depend upon) a metal casing.

 

You need to watch more Doctor Who. :D

Apparently I do, but I'm not inclined to. Visually they've always looked steampunkish to me, and I've not cared to delve into the mythos of Doctor Who to learn the fine details.

Loose BOWELS are the first sign of THE CHOLERA MORBUS!

Fair enough. It is something that's demonstrated in the first season of the new Doctor Who, so it's not exactly obscure knowledge, but obviously you do need to actually watch the show to see that. :)

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
