[Scoops Novel]

QWOP but for exercises.

[bahihs]

Total War like RTS but all the grand strategy taken out. You start with an army and you just fight battles, retaining troops and experience across battles and having the chance to resupply every once in a awhile. User made campaigns or famous military campaigns as well (Caesar or Alexander or Hannibal, starting with what they started with and seeing how well you can do.) Would be awesome.

You can potentially mod that kind of things on Total War already.

Really? How!?

How about a 4x game where info about the outskirts of your empire reaches you on a distance dependent (distance from your capital that is) delay and orders go out on a similar delay (so you would see territories far from your capital not as they are but as they were several turns previously, and your distant units would take several turns to receive and act on your orders {the results of which would in turn not be visible until several turns later when the info from the turn in which they acted reached you}). Advances in the tech tree would reduce these delays.

That would be awesome. A game that really showcases the struggles in transmitting and interpreting vast amounts of data of vast distances.

Depends. On Med 2 you could employ horde mechanics and play a faction like that with house rules of never taking a settlement.

Something like that was already done for Medieval: Total War 2.

The campaign for the Lord of the Ring's Mod had you follow Frodo and the whole ring journey with one caveat. You can't take cities, and the only city you do have is the Shire. Which doesn't spawn units. It only exists to make it so you don't lose. The only armies you obtain are the ones you obtain for doing small 'quests' and plot allies that are earned as you travel. And although you play siege maps, you don't get to keep the city afterwards.

Ever. Unless you like being trampled by ents.

Not quite the same thing I'm looking to take out the over world map completely and just have battles

I heard of (but never played) a map and counters wargame where FTL lag was simulated by having to write a set number of orders in advance. So the fleet that will attack in five turns will still attack even if you see three turns later that it would be futile. Better "officers" mean you have to write less orders in advance.

I'd like a mecha game for PC. But not a straight up one, no, this one would be somewhat closer to Battletech or Gundam 00 (so less oot stuff) as far as setting goes.

You'd start out as a pilot of some sort, tasked with securing this unruly province or something, then an all out war against a neighbouring nation, something to escalate. The mecha parts would be broken up by some FPS/TPS sections, where you're playing one of the civilians/rebels and mostly trying to survive the mayhem the stompy robots are causing. A neat part would be that shit you did in one mode would in some way or form affect the other mode in a big or small way.

Haven't really given this one too much thought, but the idea of contrasting the empowering awesome of the robots with the feeling of powerlessness and terror of the regular people is an idea I'd like to see done in some way.

Right, can we just get FTL meets Flight Sim but in mechs?
