Bay 12 Games Forum

An RTS that can have as much or as little micromanagement as you want, and for both to be viable strategies.

For example, you could anything from entire armies to just one guy, even where that one guy shoots, and everything in between.
I don't care what setting it is, but it'd be cool if you could set what it is when you start a new singleplayer game, you choose what era, maybe a medieval one, a modern one and a futuristic 'IN SPAAAACE" one. It'd be super special awesome if instead of eras you chose what year it takes place in. Of course, if you start in the medieval era you could go all the way to the futuristic era, completely seamlessly. Bonus points if you're blasting off and colonizing planets when everyone else is still discovering steel.
For super awesome mega ultra bonus points, there could be a preset human race, and a player set number of procedurally generated armies each with their own strengths and weaknesses.
This would be the best game ever, in my opinion.

The singleplayer campaign would not be unlike Medieval 2: Total War in how it's played, but instead of inciting battles with other pieces, you can just scroll down to your army and see them marching closer to the enemy. While being completely seamless.

Don't care much for graphics, but I would prefer it not to be in ASCII. Something like Medieval: Total War (the first game) would be perfect.

Now if humanity could just invent a computer to run it...

I was just checking, because I didn't know if you guys were up to it, or if you wanted to spend another week on your character.

You should probably change your rank to Guard (Mech-Wright).

Done and done.

You did it wrong.
It's
Career:      Guard (Mech-Wright)
Rank:      Technographer
right now, but should be
Career:      Guardsman (Tech Priest)
Rank:      Guard (Mech-Wright)


On an unrelated note: Black Crusade is supposed to be coming out this month. If NewsMuffins gets a hold of it I predict many clown encounters.

My claws are rather large and grabby, if I do say so myself.

Phantom is right, you should make a Requisition check for that.
Before each mission, the Munitorum clerk makes sure you turn in your ammunition, and gives you three clips for each weapon you have. This doesn't stop you from picking up clips during the mission, though.
You can turn in your LasGun and LasPistol for an AutoGun and Autopistol if you succeed a Requisition check at +20.

You also get rebreathers for free and of Good quality if you're sent into a battlezone that will definitely have gas attacks.

Is your resolution for both set to 640x560 or whatever it is?
Lowering the resolution really helps.
Also, giving the process a high priority seems to add on a few FPS.

Just logged off of a very long warfare match that involved the AI surviving multiple airstrikes, tank columns, and a nuke.  Fayrik and Simmura are still going...

This went pretty well, and my computer handled running both a server and client ok, so I'll try to plan another one for next week.

Useless whining aside, I had fun. I didn't get to do much because everyone else was flying around in helicopters and jets, and I was Fast Traveling in either a M1A1 TUSK or a LAV-25.
And I don't think the nuke ever landed.
I hope you run this again some time, KG.
