NEBS (Napoleonic Era Battlefield Simulator)
« on: February 05, 2015, 04:05:48 am »

I just spent the day making this, because apparently that's the sort of thing I do when I get bored.

So if you wanted to watch a bunch of dudes line up and shoot each other in the face I guess I've got you covered.
Edit:(changed to most recent version) http://www.gamefront.com/files/25327512/NEBS.zip

I suppose now I should come up with a way to actually use this damn thing.

NEBS - Playable DLC pls!

Love the pixel art. Three pixels to represent a person always gets to me!

This made my day.

Please do more work on this, I'd love to have an actually interact-able version of this.

Huh  ??? not exactly the reaction I was expecting. I appreciate it but still, unexpected.

I guess I should see about turning this into a full game of some kind, any ideas?

I say from playing it have something like control-able reinforcement waves, and mabye add a few different colored armies for variance, and maybe add limited ammo and melee combat if it's not to much of a hassle.

I got bored again and now NEBS is an interactive toy :)

But seriously though, the battles are no longer randomly generated, instead you set them up.

I suppose now I should start adding more units. Cavalry should be a  good  place to start assuming I ever figure out how to draw a horse.

Also melee combat should be a thing I think, perhaps I'll have whichever side is winning perform a bayonet charge once ammo runs low in an attempt to finish off the opponent.

I'm also thinking about morale and officers, I don't want things to get to complex given this programs emphases on mass warfare, mostly I'm thinking of having morale provide a general buff or penalty to how soldiers perform. Maybe have them rout if morale completely bottoms out, should be a good way of resolving the standoffs that currently happen way too often. Getting bayonet charged should also hurt morale and give a good chance of having the side getting charged rout rather than counter attack since that's what happens most often according to the thirty seconds of research I did on the subject.

Should still include a chance for a valiant last stand to occur though.

I'm thinking officers should provide a constant source of morale, but hurt it badly if they die.

Oh yeah the download link.

Edit: Shit, forgot to tell you how to actually use the damn thing, click what you want to place on the little bar thingy, then left click on the field to place it for the blue team, or right click to place it for the yellow team.

Remove let's you delete stuff you placed.

You could probably use a 2×4 rectangle with two pixels on the bottom and 3 pixels on the top left as a horse.

cool stuff man. I still really like this. If you made this into a full game I'd pay for it.

Nice, reminds me rather a lot of what's going on in the background of WW1 Medic.

Just watched the yellow team rout after suffering a bunch of casualties, the underlying math looks like it could use some tweaking but the actual morale system seems to be working fine so far.

Funnily enough I had considered making a WW1 trench warfare simulator before I decided to do a Napoleonic era one instead.
