A low end uber massive battles game
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2010 12:07 pm
So the idea is the following:
I wuold like to see a full scale battle simulator, not caring shit about graphics. Just full scale. Seeing the battle from above (something like Supreme Commander zoomed out) And moving squads from 16 up to about 300 men depending on how large the battle actually is. Ideally this battle game would be set in the ancient or darkages. I do not need to see a ton of different units, just the standard stuff like light infantry, medium infantry, heavy infantry, light skirmishers etc. And perhaps with different attributes such as well trained or drilled (something like FoG). So there would be battles with over 10000 men on one battlefield. As said before, the graphics are simple so no need to zoom in or out.
I would like to see men pushing through enemy lines and damaged units flee the field. And also good terrain moddifiers and formation bonusses. And finally, I would like to see captains with different personalities and attributes attached to them (thinking a bit take command series here).
If you are still wondering how this game would look like, I had something like this in mind:

Just a topdown view 2D units and vastly zoomed out, so little need for detail. Of course it would be relatively hard to spot the different types of units easely, so you could either use different colours, or just different icons hovering above the squads.
