Doom Wars Reference Manual

Units are gaining experience when destroying hostile units. When this happens, an unit gets experience points in an amount of destroyed unit's score points (you can see information about it in unit button popup). And then if unit gains enough experience points, it acquires next level and rank. All in all units can get 3 levels. Each level increases unit's base damage on 30% and decreases damage to unit on 15%. Acquiring the last level will enhance unit with regeneration ability and some ability (depends on unit type, more info under Units section)

To achieve first veterancy level, unit should gain experience points in an amount of unit's doubled score points cost. For second and third levels unit should gain experience in an amount of 4x and 7x score points cost respectively.

When unit was destroyed and afterwards resurrected by Arch-Vile or got recovered after defibrillation, it loses all gained experience.

This feature is most helpful when playing in a team: it allows players to send and receive resourse transfers, supporting each other in difficult situations. To have a trading feature, player must own Command Center (when playing for UAC) or Hell Keep (when playing for Hell). The trading feature is activated by trading button on action panel.

First, player should select the player, which will receive the transfer. Then, player should select, how much resources he wants to transfer. And after all, press "Transfer resources" button.

Supply is needed to produce units. UAC gets supply from Supply Depots and Hell gets it using Generators of Hell Power. Each unit requires specified amount of supply (listed in unit characteristics). Player can't create new units if there is not enough supply.

Minerals are the most used resources; players need it to construct new buildings and produce new units. This resource can be collected from mineral patches. Each mineral patch holds 1500 minerals inside it. Mineral patches are constantly produced from central mineral mine. On the average a new mineral patch is being produced each 2 minutes.

Energy is secondary resource; it is used to create more technological units and research upgrades. Players gain energy from Power Plants (UAC) and Generators of Hell Power (Hell). They are working every time, producing energy. Each generator has specified output power, i.e. amount of energy being produced per time (and if generator is damaged more than 50%, its output power level will decrease almost twice), and store limit - how much energy this power plant can store. It is impossible to store energy above that limit, so players need to increase it by building new generators or command centers (more info in unit characteristics). The value representing energy stockpile on interface in facts shows 2 values - total energy amount and how much energy could be stored up to limit(in brackets).

Many building needs some amount of energy to function normally. They withdraw it from total energy production, so player doesn't get full energy output from generators. And so player won't gain energy at all if the energy production level is lower than its consumption. Supply production facilities take additional energy to produce supply for units. The formula used to calculate energy consumption for supply production is

UAC players have tertiary resource - artifact points (hellpower), which are collected by medics from demons' corpses and researching hell buildings using radars. More information in anomaly research.

The screenshot below shows UAC game interface with information about all elements.

To save a game, bring up main menu and select "Save" button, or use F11 key while in game. The list box will show up all save games made by you. Type a name of your save game file and press "Save". If there is file with the same name in list box, game will warn you. All save games could be accessed from "/doom/save" subfolder (relative to game directory).

When you want to continue your saved game, press "Load Game" button from main menu or use "Load" button in game menu and select a save game to load. Save games from different game versions are incompatible.

When you complete a game and results table will show up, you may save a replay of your game. To do this, press the "Save Replay" button. A list box of replays will show up. Type the name of your replay and press "Save" button. If there is file with the same name in list box, game will warn you. All replays could be accessed from "/doom/logs" subfolder (relative to game directory).

When you want to replay your recorded game, press "Replay Game" button from main menu and select a replay to view. Replays from different game versions are incompatible. "Reveal Map" checkbox will allow you to view map without fog of war. While viewing replay, you may enter commands to skip parts of replay: to do this, press Enter, type "ffw x"(without quotes), where x - the cycle number to go.

This is currently the main type of game (until campaigns will come out). In Skirmish mode you can battle against computer players. To start a Skirmish game, press "Skirmish" button while in main menu. A "Skirmish Setup" screen will appear, allowing you to change map and configure game settings.

First, you need to choose a map to play. Use "Select Scenario" button to bring up list of available maps. By default, game shows you maps from /maps folder (relative to game directory). To open a directory (they could be recognized by '/' symbol on their end) just select it. To enter a parent directory while in subdirectory, press ".." symbols on the top of the list. Maps could be recognized by ".smp.gz" or just ".smp" extension on map name end. When you select a map, game updates data about map shown on the bottom of the window and loads a preview image of this map. To finally accept this map, press "OK" button.

Then you need to adjust the game settings you wish to play with. On the left side of the "Skirmish Setup" window you could see the players list. Each player has its unique color and they are numbered from 1 to maximum amount of players on this map. On the right side you could configure non-player essential settings.

Multiplayer allows up to 8 players to battle in Doom Wars using LAN or Internet. The network subsystem is peer-to-peer, as in original Doom: one player creates game and others are connecting to his computer. The computers send action and sync info to each other, and a "Network out of sync" message will appear if there are some mismatches.

Players can use in-game chat to exchange messages. To send a message, player should press "Enter", compose message and press "Enter" again.

To create multiplayer game, Select Multiplayer from main menu. The next screen allows you to enter your name, create a new game or join to an existing one. If you want to create a new game, a screen with map list will appear, allowing you need to select the map for battle. Then, you can configure the game and wait for players. When at least one player connects to your server, you may start the game.

When you are joining to an existing game, a list with saved servers will appear. Initially, it contains only localhost server, and if you want to join to game, you should add a new server with its IP address and brief description. Then, select this server in list and press Connect button. If everything will go OK, you will see a multiplayer configuration window.

While in game, players can configure diplomacy settings to play as allies. To do that, press Diplomacy button on the top of the screen. To make player allied to you, check Allied checkbox. To allow this player to see everything that you have explored, check Shared Vision checkbox. Make sure that your ally did same thing regarding to you.

The map editor provides tools for creating and modifying maps. To access it, press "Editor" button while in main menu.

To create a new map, press "New Map" button. The next screen allows you to change map description, size and tileset. The maximum size of map is 256 cells. The tileset sets the appearance of map.

Map editor has several operation modes. They could be switched on the right sidebar:

Doom Wars uses damage and armor types to calculate damage dealt in battles. Every unit has armor type and every attacking unit has damage type for each weapon it posesses (more information in Unit characteristics).

When one unit (attacker) hits another unit (target), attacker's active weapon base damage is used to calculate resulting damage. First of all, base damage gets multiplied to a coefficient which represents efficiency of attacker's active weapon damage type against target's armor type. After that, damage gets modified with veterancy system (more information in Veterancy system). Then it gets modified by active and passive effects (Super Shotgunner's confusion chance, Pain Elemental's soul harvesting etc.). And finally, a random multiplier between 0.7 and 1.2 is multiplied to damage.

The table below shows all armor types, damage types, and efficiency coefficients(all values age given in percents)

Unit could wear additional armor (UAC marines) or shield generator (Fighter after upgrade, Doomer, UAC buildings after upgrade).

Additional armor partially absorbs damage dealt to unit. Light armor absorbs 50% damage and heavy armor absorbs 70% damage. When armor is destroyed, unit will fully take all resulting damage. Armor could be repaired by Technicians and it can regenerate if appropriate anomaly ("Research demon regeneration anomaly") is researched.

Shield generators create an energy shield, which fully absorbs all damage and it regenerate at a rate of 1 point per second.

A lot of marines were possessed and turned to zombies on first Hellish invasion. Since that, demonic possession abilities were significantly improved.

The marine's corpses are the most common way to create zombies. When going that way, remember that marine corpse shouldn't be burnt or turned into gibs. Then, there are several ways to create zombie:

Heroes are one of the strongest and toughest units. They can easily deal with several enemies at one and have some special abilities. When defeating enemies and gaining XP, they progress in veterancy levels, improving their abilities.

Each player may own only one hero of each type. UAC players may bring Doomer on their side and Hell players may summon Belial on their side.

Several units in this game have special abilities, which are need to make special actions by this unit. Several abilities need charge, or mana points to use them, several of them require resources.

To use special ability, just click on its button on action panel. Most of the abilities require to specify target unit for ability, but there are few of them, that affect caster unit itself(they will work just after button press).

A lot of special abilities may use autocast mode: in this mode they get used automatically when special conditions are met. To activate autocast mode, press on ability's button using CTRL key. The ability's button will be edged by blue line when autocast mode is activated.

Upgrades, as in most RTS games, are the way to increase capabilities and characteristics of units.

UAC labs have made a big progress in researching the data about monsters collected from first monster invasion, thus able to make the marines stronger than usual and give them special weapons and armor, based on hellish technologies.

Players can perform anomaly researches from Tech Center. All anomaly research is divided into 2 groups: demonic technologies (they behave like ordinary upgrades with one difference that they don't require minerals and energy but instead use artifact points, or hellpower) and demonic essences (they are used to upgrade and enhance abilities of single marines).

Any marine can use spheres from Tech Center, except Doomer (he possess some of them already). The Tech Center can distribute spheres to marines within range of 15 cells.

To use all these capabilities, a special resource is required, called artifact points (or hellpower). They could be earned using Combat Medic's "Collect artifacts" ability or by researching Hell buildings using radar. First feature should be used on non-damaged demon bodies (not burnt or gibbed). The artifact points collected from demon vary from its type. To use second feature, a "Hell anomalies radar research" upgrade should be researched in Tech Center. After that, radar will prepare itself for researching in 1 minute. To research a building, use that ability on enemy's Hell building. Each building could be researched only once. Research time and artifact points gained after research vary from building to building.

Worker Robot Hit Points: 40 Armor: mech Cost: 500 M, 1 S Build time: 5s Weapon: plasma cutter(plasma, 4 base damage) Upgrades: N/A Points: 18 Prerequisites: N/A Transport slots: 1 Sight range: 4 Attack range: 1 Special abilities: worker(see below) Elite bonus: N/A Strong against: nothing Weak against: everything UAC worker.

Their shotguns have no penalty against organic units, so use them against monsters, that are weak to infantry. A couple of Shotgunners can easily take off a Hell Knight. In mid- and end game you should upgrade them to Super Shotgunners to allow them to resist more stronger forces.
Super Shotgunner Hit Points: 100 Armor Points: 70 Armor: heavy Cost: 750 M, 200 E, 1 S Build time: 6.66s Weapon: double-barreled shotgun(shell, 36 base damage), Upgrades: firepower("Upgrade shells", "Research flesh weakness", "Research heavy flesh weakness", "Research levitation anomaly"), armor("Upgrade marines armor", "Research Megaarmor", "Research marine ultra protection armor"), sight range("Research light amplification visors"), armor regeneration("Research demon regeneration anomaly") Points: 70 Prerequisites: Tech Center Transport slots: 1 Sight range: 5 Attack range: 3 Special abilities: confusion(20% chance to make organic targets miss with 70% chance for 3 seconds) Elite bonus: higher confusion chance(50%) Strong against: ground flesh units Weak against: buildings, mechs, air units They are DEADLY against any kind of ground monters. Their confusion ability really helps to deal with strong monsters. Still, don't let your enemy to zombify your Super Shotgunners.
Technician Hit Points: 60 Armor Points: 20 Armor: light Cost: 600 M, 80 E, 1 S Build time: 8.33s Weapon: grenade launcher (explosion, 18 base damage) Upgrades: firepower("Upgrade explosive weapons", "Research flesh weakness", "Research heavy flesh weakness", "Research levitation anomaly"), armor("Upgrade marines armor", "Research Megaarmor", "Research marine ultra protection armor"), sight range("Research light amplification visors"), attack range("Upgrade grenade launcher range"), special abilities("Research technician mining tools"), armor regeneration("Research demon regeneration anomaly") Points: 35 Prerequisites: N/A Transport slots: 1 Sight range: 6 Attack range: 4 Special abilities: detects invisible units, repair infantry armor, repair vehicles, place mine, place explosive charge Elite bonus: advanced grenade launcher(shoots 2 grenades in time) Strong against: ground heavy monsters, mechs, buildings Weak against: air units, infantry They really recoup their resource cost. First of all, they are really useful to make rush on enemy base on game start(use them with Shotgunners). Secondly, their repairing capabilities could save you your mechs and marines. Third, they could make a diversion and blow up some emeny's critical buildings. And they can make a mine fields to slow down enemy's approach and they also could detect enemy's invisible units.
Chaingun Trooper Hit Points: 100 Armor Points: 45 Armor: light Cost: 870 M, 130 E, 1 S Build time: 10.8s Weapon: minigun (AA-bullet, 8 base damage) Upgrades: firepower("Upgrade bullet weapons", "Research flesh weakness", "Research heavy flesh weakness", "Research levitation anomaly", "Upgrade chaingun accuracy"), armor("Upgrade marines armor", "Research Megaarmor", "Research marine ultra protection armor"), sight range("Research light amplification visors"), attack range("Upgrade chaingun accuracy"), armor regeneration("Research demon regeneration anomaly") Points: 55 Prerequisites: Weapon Factory Transport slots: 1 Sight range: 5 Attack range: 5 Special abilities: none Elite bonus: 100% precision Strong against: infantry, light protected flesh monsters, air units Weak against: buildings, mechs, heavy protected flesh monsters First, use them to retalliate against zombies, Imps, Devils and other small monsters. And if enemy would make a rush on you with Cacodemons, Chaingun Troopers will solve that problem without problems.
