its similar to an empire rpg in that you have a map and empires take and control sections of the map but in this case you have no decision on the attacks, high command orders you into a fight and you obey along with any other players who joined that particular empire and you attempt to complete battles and misions, the winning team is the one who conquered the most sections of map or all the map before the rpg dies :P
it basically works like you have a character and an increasing number of squad mates and options as you progress through ranks, you choose yours and thier skills and weapons and fight as a squad in ground wars, cityfights, boarding actions at sea and maybe even low orbit satellite captures for orbital superweapons.
you recieve promotions and technology options as you complete missions and the empires capture ground and also special abilities such as the option to request airstrikes or bombardments from artillery or even deathstrikes from satellites, mybe even the option to deepstrike onto the battle feild via teleportation or grav shute
if enough people like this idea i will convert my empire builder idea into this just for your amusement
it will have to wait a while though for undisclosed reasons
just an update i am thinking of allowing squads to gain the use of vehicles, ie they can become scout bikers or even a tank squadron or all gain jetbikes or even jumppacks, anythings possible in the two weeks it will take to release this, anyone attempting to steal my idea will be horribly killed though and if ikonomu13 sees this he is banned from the rpg for certain reasons
as i said: me and co-gms will control it and higher ranked players can give orders to lower ones =P
and i am still wavering between making it an interplanetary war in which case aliens will be involved, making this one humans or another species and making the second one an interplanetary war with the winners of this one as the rulers of the planet versus or making this one where humans are interacting with aliens and other species but only on one planet for now and interplanetary later or in a second rpg
lol venerable dreadnoughts FTW
and i am still wavering between making it and going to sleep again
meh just cause you mentioned it i will make it but i get to make the dreadnoughts
and i think yeh i will allow alien races as a side
finishing the map now....
my rpg has almost completed itself but there is still one more decision to be made
to me the storyline seems a great chance to simply make it into a story like one of guolins but some people have been asking for me to make it a proper rpg
whats the opinion of the general public?
any opinions please
