Okay I just got, like always, another idea for a game. But I am having trouble getting it out of my head in words. Oh well here goes nothing.... Breif Overview I would like it to be a 3d game sword fighting and strategy game. The game is to be set back in medeival times and will use historical nations from around the world. The game will also be focused on Multiplay as in Tribes. One person on each team is selected to be the "General" for that side and picks what nation the team will be, what units will be used, how the army is set up on the feild and controls any AI units from a RTS styled view. He can also set "goals", which appear as markers, for the real players, but they do not have to follow these goals. Then the players can select, from the list provided by the commander, what unit they wish to lead into battle. When both sides are finished wih this they then commence the battle. On the battlefeild the generals each set up there men inside there boundaries, as in medeival: total war. When they are done each player is put in charge of a group of soldiers, around 10-20, which follow him and obey him. He plays in FP but uses keyboard commands to direct his unit. I hope to have horsemen, swordmen, spearmen, archers, horse archers and so on. All nations will have their strehgths and weaknesses based on history and will hopefully have several different unique units per nation. Also there will be alot of strategy involved and use of good tactics. Such as Knights are slow but have a devastating charge, although if they fail to break up the opposing unit in the inital charge they may end up losing, that way no one is really invincible. Men will tire and not be able to run after a while, and Egyptians natrually will not do good in Russia. The land will be determined by the defender and weather slightly affected by the attacker. In FP mode I would like it to be where you can dismount off your horse, get knocked over, block with a sheild and (somehow) have different ways to use your sword. I need lots of ideas so if you got any spit them out. And remember no idea is a bad idea. Here is my possible list of nations: Europe: Britain Germany France Italy Poland-Maybe Spain North Africa to Mid-East: Egypt Turk Byzantine Asia: Russia Mongol China Japan Korea-Maybe Maybe - New World: Aztec Inca Things I am also thinking about are having it so when you first start the game you have a small amount of gold only enough for unit of spearmen or swordmen, which you have to pay to lead. More gold would be given to you for every enemy unit you kill and for every succseful battle. The cost would be higher for say a Royal Knight then a Mounted Man-at-arms unit. And how can i make so the General can give orders to AI, set goals and fight in fp at same time. Maybe he should just stay in rts? So what do you think? Does it sound okay? Sorry for the way it is typed but like i sadi at the top...... -CM EDIT: Come on guys help me out. [Edited by - Corrmick on July 11, 2004 10:42:16 PM]

Hmm - I've seen other games with similar systems - perhaps the King could just put up a bounty for completing a task? Other jobs (such as resource gathering) could be handled wholly autonomously, as the players could just be "taxed" of their earnings while running a resource field, and, if it is a very lucrative field, request the King post a guard.
