Have you played Stronghold?

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Have you played Stronghold?

Yea. Not really castle-building, although that would be cool, I meant more like ww1/ww2 era of semi-permanent fortifications.

I would love a strategy game where you actually design your troops by handing them different equipment and then designing training curses to teach them how to react and those define how and how good they actually fare in the field. Kind like the old AI simulator Nero 2.0 where you trained an evolving neurological network to control some robots in a fighting area. Still remember how I wanted to teach my robots how to use cover but actually trained them to face the nearest wall when being fired at.

Another game concept I would like to see is one where you control a dungeon, but not like in dungeaon keep, where units are under your direct command, but more like in "What did I do to deserve this my lord?" where you had to manage an ecosystem to get the stronger creatures. But in 3D with freely evolving mosters and trap designs.

And lastly an RPG where you fight by telling your guys exactly what to do (down to the limb) and damage is actually phsical force that is applied to the bodies. How it owuld work is that time stops when it´s your turn, then you tell your guy where to go and what to do and the time flows again. If something unforseen (liek something accelerating towards you) happens or some time passes you can give a new order (depends on the reflexes of your guy). Mix this with a really wide array of special attacks or powers (maybe even modular one to create for yourself).

For the last one Ex Anima is out and quite fun and Sui Generis still being worked on I THINK.

Oh, thanks, i forgot how this funny "drunk battle" eternal alpha was named.

Welcome! I love the combat so much although... why oh why did they have to make it isometric? Damn this system would be better than Mount & Blade if they made it 3rd person over the shoulder!

Some kind of mixed city building/survival/4x game where you would take a tribe of hunter gatherers, forming the first cities and civilizations until the Late Bronze Age Collapse.

Ymir?

Close enough, but I would prefer it wasn't fantasy. I will take a look into it.

A game where they only way to win is to de-escalate violence.

Have you played Cultures? It doesn't have age-spanning scope but it has elements of what you're looking for.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

Also isn't Ancient Cities doing that?

Invisible Inc. sometimes gets a little that way. Reducing the number of unconscious bodies you are sitting on can be a priority...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I didn't know this game, will look into it, though I guess it may be quite dated by now. Lets see how well it aged.

Sounds like what I'm looking for.

I made a suggestion like this on this very thread way back, for some kind of RTS-like where your job is to stop a fight between NPC factions with as few deaths as possible rather than winning it for one of them. Unfortunately I have zero time to code non-work things, but it's a fun idea.
