    Default A Game We'd Like To See.

    Alright I'm going to change this thread around. Instead of a game I'd like to see, I'm going to open up the discussion to game aspects we'd all like to see.

    You should dream less and play Empire Earth more.

    Thanks for responding. I've played many real-time and turn-based strategy games, from the Empire Earth series to the Civilization series.

    What I'm looking for with this game is the breadth of Spore, the character development of the Sims, the strategy of EU:3 and R:TW, with the depth and detail of Europa Barbarorum.

    Exclamation Re: World, A Game I'd Like To See

    A game where you can actually fight in your battles as well as command them? Mount and Blade did a good job at that, but it's a shame their campaign map was quite limited. I'm thinking of an RPG/Strategy game where you have a family tree descending from your first character, all of whom have the same traits as the first. Whether they be kings, senators, or commoners who simply fall in with the flow of time matters not, as each one has the possibility of...

    *sigh* Thanks, Broteas. Thanks a lot. Now I'll never stop dreaming. Maybe they'll have this by the time I'm a senior, in which case I'll have a couple free decades of golden years to play this miracle-game? I can wish...

    EDIT: You could even pick the next family member you want to control after the death of your current one. Maybe you could pick the eldest son, or maybe the youngest son and vie for dominance over your family in a sort of blood feud or sibling rivalry... ARGH!!!

    Methuselah you changed my mind about this thread. I decided, instead of my own game, to open it up for ideas we'd all like to see in a game. I guess. I burned my mind out thinking about all of this, so I'm going to go take a nap and post ideas later.

    Like Methuselah pointed out, they should expand on the Mount and Blade idea........I mean the game has almost everything! Action, Sandbox, RPG, and the slightest bit of RTS.......they ought to flesh out the RTS bit some more.....maybe give a pause an command ability, so that one can have more control over the troops.....try to make formations actually worthwhile.....I mean the formations mod does a great job and looks great, but the formations still don't actually work like they should you know.......
    And they can work on the map, make it bigger, throw in some more factions.........so that it really does feel epic........the already have a good kingdom management mod. No rpoblem with the quests being repetative, I mean as long as the maps is big enough, and anyhow it's a sandbox game isn't it....
    So, Mount and Blade, if worked on, can become the ideal game........they simply MUST develop the idea more.


    And I don't mind the graphics, they are pretty decent, and the gameplay as it is more than makes up for everything.


    The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

    To me, the mother of all games has to be an online massive multiplayer game.

    I want a medieval-theme realm versus realm MMORPG, set in a HUGE world that is wide-open, so much so that swaths of terrain are added by the developers according to what & where people (want to) explore. I want to be a hunter who stalks deer and bears, lives in a hut in a remote part of game world where practically no one ever ventures, and comes down from the mountains every now and then to trade, make friends and defend his homeland along with other archers, as part of a larger army, in huge freaking battles.

    I am not going to get it. Future generations will.

    What you mean is a game that marries both Mount&Blade with TotalWar. A tactical battle scene where you can personally lead your horsemen in your own unit and weck havoc in the enemie's armie.
    And also some RPG to throw in so that your Leader/General gain experience and actually have a certain roadmap of abilities to upgrade. Hope i can get that correctly...
