Squad-based Strategic game: Google maps and Street View. Thoughts please
« on: October 28, 2010, 04:00:22 pm »
I would like to start up a Squad based game. Probably based on my previous "Viva the Revolution!" and "The Cavemen!!" game/story layouts. I hope to set it in an urban environment, and as per usual would like to make it as genuine as possible, and I would like to use data from Google Earth as well as Street View. I would like to know your thoughts on this. Maybe you could elaborate on the theme. Do you have an opinions on the Use of Google maps and would this sort of game be successful?

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)
