Idea for a strategy/tactical game.

I wanted something that allowed for real tactics, but not so complex that the tactics were the whole game, so I came up with a relatively simple, but very customizable, system. As in, very simple and I didn't so much come up with it as realized there's a reason stuff like that is used. >.>

Attack Roll vs Defense Stat/Roll(not sure which).
Your Attack and their defense depend on the unit, bonuses and penalties can apply for circumstances. Charging gives bonus based on individual unit stat for it, and there's the Stamina mechanic. Stamina represents morale/numbers of troops/ammo/fatigue etc.; when you have 0 stamina, the unit cannot fight. In fact, it's so badly demolished it is disbanded. Effectively health, save that the relative Stamina of units in combat can give bonuses/penalties. And that you can spend it and regain it in various ways during the battle. In a fight, you always end up losing at least 1 Stamina every time. The difference between the attack and defense rolls also reduces Stamina.

And of course, Movement and special abilities that make it all more than just a numbers game. Formations, supply trains, terrain, all this and more can affect a battles outcome.

So yeah.

You're a scholar who has just invented the art of pyromancy. Explore its mysteries and try to develop it, then use these newfound powers to realize your ambition, which is decided in character creation.

Anyone interested? If so I'll make it.

If anybody (AKA GUNINANRUNIN) is interested, the mining suggestion game I was thinking about earlier is up here.

awwwwww yeeehhhhhhhh

So, sometime last night on skype I ended up with this idea of a game involving dice and controlling territory in a spreadsheet grid. Right now though, unless a plot snuck into it it seems like it would end up just about numbers, which doesn't seem like it would be interesting for very long.

What say you guys?

What's a range of words that I can use for ranking skills? Like from Rookie to Master.

[Remuthra]

How many ranks do you want?

[Parsely]

5+

[Remuthra]

Novice
Apprentice
Journeyman
Expert
Master

Actually, around 10 sounds better for a more gradual improvement, since I'm using the words to vaguely describe how good the character is at doing bunches of little things. 5 would work if they were tiers that would unlock trees of skills or if they were actually getting some sort of tangible form of XP. Maybe I'll use that for something else.

[Furtuka]

Do you have any particular kind of setting in mind for it? Might help.


Seed
Sprout
Sapling
Shrub
Oak (If you stop here, then just tree)
Spruce
Redwood

At more stages as needed arranged in order of tree height

[Parsely]

You're a pity-ful hooman in ye olde av'ridge setting. I'd prefer for it not to be themed actually, though that whole plant thing gives me a whole rush of new ideas for cute suggestion games. c:

[Remuthra]

Rookie- Completely untrained.
Novice- Some experience, but no real training.
Trainee- Some training, but no comprehensive knowledge.
Apprentice- Comprehensive, but incomplete, skill and knowledge.
Journeyman- Standard of professional training.
Adept- Professional training augmented by considerable extra skill and talent.
Expert- An extraordinary level of skill and talent, the result of years of practice.
Authority- A complete level of knowledge, from a lifetime of training and practice.
Master- The penultimate level of knowledge and talent possible. All but as perfect as can be.
Grand Master- Complete mastery of a skill, perhaps exceeding reasonable human capability.

Average Person Formally Trained and Skilled in Thing is a Journeyman. A person with no formal training is probably a Trainee or less, Trainee assuming extreme natural talent.

I've been thinking...

What would you all think of a suggestion game about being a good guy. Like some overlord who got his position from being loved by the people so much or being a super hero, or something like that?
