Chariot is the name of the engine planned by Chrono Monkey Productions for use in Factions, Destructivality and The Fragile Balance.

It will be coded by all coders of CMP.

[edit] Planned Features

• Usage of Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora and Portable Network Graphics file formats
• In-game VoiceOverIP chat
• Free dedicated servers connected to a central authentification server - piracy and cheater protection on one hand, ability for personalized community servers on the other hand
• Instant messenger integration - we'll try to make the game work with a standalone messenger, so you can communicate with not-playing people while playing and the other way round. Or even while playing talk to people in a different game.
  • The standalone application should also include displays like Nickname - Status: Ingame Map: Mapname Faction: Armyname
• INI based
• Compatible with both Windows and Linux, possibly other platforms.
• Low minimal system requirements - minimum somewhere around 1 Ghz processor with GeForce 2 and 256 MB RAM.
• Mod-friendly
• Useful error messages^{To do: Expand with explanation of error database}
• Multiplayer savegames
  • Loading a savegame freezes all options, meaning the game will 100% be unchangeable to how it was begun
• Clan support
  • Mandatory army schemes for clan members possible

As well as all necessary features to implement all planned objects and effects for Chariot-based games.
