Not really, though I can't say DF hadn't influenced the idea. The world goes static when you enter Dwarf or Adventure mode. My idea is more like playing DF as Legends are genning except legends will gen as a you play, and what happens will affect what the player will see and can do in the RPG.

A similar concept: Civ + Mount & Blade.

All that would really do is add more depth to M&B, as it's already kind of similar to Civ.   But a much more complicated M&B with improved AI and actual formations would be awesome.  Especially if you can get a super computer and have battles with thousands of soldiers.

Eh? Star Citizen is coming out this Christmas? That's hard to believe. And also, last I heard the first "module" from Star Citizen to be going live will be that single-player "Squadron 42" or something thing.

I did say next year didn't I? Even if they take longer, they are practically all those guys where talking about.

Formations can already be implemented in both M&Bs, via mods (e.g. Brytenwalda for Warband and Europe 1805 for M&B).

*sigh* how I wish M&B had more depth on the side of making the world feel alive... All the NPCs feel like robots with pre-recorded lines. In a game that doesn't have recorded dialogues for the lines. And that's terrible.

Floris Mod Pack.
Seriously, just....Floris Mod Pack.

I suddenly want a futuristic racing game just as much about CREATING the anti-grav ships you race in as it is about racing them.

In Phase 1, you have a sort of tech tree thing you put money in, and it spits out possible components. Let's say I get a bunch of parts I like, and put them together into a ship. The first racing season plays out, and my ship gets an overall standing of 3rd. Things I did before the first tournament are now able to grow even further, while things I skimped on may have a little trouble maturing at the rate of other companies. I'm getting money from people who like my ship and like the idea of advertising on it. Money means more designs. More designs means better performance. You get the picture.

This goes on, and on, and on. I keep developing for tournaments, etc, etc. When the last tournament ends, I'm given my placement and that stage of gameplay is over.

However, that was just worldgen. I could have set my difficulty, or chosen multiplayer (takes other people's results and pits them against mine rather than simulating the other companies), and either way, resulted in the finished product.

And now, it's time to race. You'll now race using your, or any company's resulting ship, in each era of racing that was simulated in the "worldgen". You're racing your ships, potentially against the ships straight from someone else's mind.

---

And now, imagine that the parts function less to change only performance and looks. Imagine that you're in a simulated physics engine, and each ship can be constructed in many more ways. Sure, you might have a thin-framed reverse wing ship, but now you can fiddle with placements, and the entire craft is truly yours.

And afterwards, you're gonna have to prove it. Racing against the ships that someone you don't even know made- learning things, getting better at design, and truly playing on both sides of the field.

I seem to remember reading a suggestion like this, but here goes:

Old-school X-COM + Ghostbusters.

[WillowLuman]

And Newcom + Ghostbusters, just because. Both would be fantastic.

It is not updated anymore, use Silverstag. It's a fork of Floris.

I tried Silverstag once.
It was buggy as fuck.
Still prefer Floris personally.

Going to sound weird but I kind of want a League of Legends fan game that's essentially The Sims but with yordles. Either that or a Dwarf Fortress mod that replaces the dwarves with yordles. I blame Riot Games and my fondness for short characters for this.

Why don't we take that concept into the areas of "crossplay done right"?

Basically, a console Civ/MMO where player actions affect what it's like on mobile users.

If publishers want to force simul-play between a flagship console and peon mobile devices that cannot compare to the console, then let them. Every player's actions will affect the world the mobile users experience.

I think that CCP might actually be trying that. I mean; there's EVE, which is the flagship (no pun plz) game; there's Dust 514 which is for console peasants; and there's the dogfighting one in development which I think will be for PC. There's a growing range of games all taking place in the same universe there and I think it could be expanded a lot.

console peasants

I'm glad someone else expresses these views here. I mean they don't make consoles nor games for them like they used to. I'd like it if Microsoft or Sony or even Nintendo gave me a reason to actually buy a console. Not certain about the specifics but I think it might involve something like Terraria hybridized with something like Dungeons and Dragons 3E then bred with a game along the lines of The Sims and the offspring of that paired with the offspring of Tower Defense and Cookie Clicker, only to then be fused with the offspring of League of Legends and Dungeon Keeper, then combined somehow with Pokémon and Morrowind. I think it would be glorious but then again I'd rather it be on PC because they stopped making Sega consoles quite some time ago.

The Wii U gimmicks are actually fun, but when you think about it someone could code a PC game that uses an iPad/Galaxy tablet to do the same thing.

EDIT: You know what would actually be pretty fucking awesome? If they made an Avatar: The Last Airbender game for Kinect. Just imagine the possibilities...

If somebody did code such a game though, they'd be assuming that every one of their customers has an iPad or Galaxy, whereas a WiiU owner is guaranteed to have the WiiU whatever-it's-called.
