I keep having this recurring dream. Some people say its sad and pathetic to dream about games but to them I say - ive got a hot girlfriend, so I balance it out :-D
Anyway, I love Shogun Total War, however having played and completed the game, and taken every detail in - I really feel that there is great potential for other projects that could be much more spectacular.
I want to keep this as short as I can, and hopefully create some sort of interest, but my dream is as follows:
I see tens of thousands of French soldiers, in all their glorious Napoleonic splendour marching over a hill. As they appear at the top and begin marching into the valley below, they see the armies of the Russian Empire waiting for them. Cannon, Men and horses in perfect formation.
I see smoke, I see explosions, I see musket fire on an epic scale! The Napoleonic Wars are famous for their huge ferocious battles, and the splendour of the uniforms. The thought of Shogun Total War carnage applied to the uniforms of the time makes me cream my pants!
Subtle changes to the game code oculd be made. The graphics engine is already superb, perhaps a little more coding to help it cope with thousands more men - I just hope someone else reading this can picture what Im trying to say here!
Imagine cannon fire! Imagine seing ranks of men fall, fight and march across the vast battlefields.
And thats just the battles - what a spectacular campaign mode this could have. Britain, France, Austria, Prussia and Russia all with their own Alliances and battles going on....my god! Instead of Seasons, why not have months? Instead of Yari Samauri, why not local musket militia?
Please let me know if you are interested in my dream! I simply cannot do it justice in this message board - but I think there is a severe lack of games that focus on one of the most impressive wars of all time...and I want to lead thousands of spectacularly detailed troops into the enemy cannon....
