OT: idea for a new game

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

You could then (with regards to the first paragraph of my previous post) mod the drone/fighter launch comps so that they could only launch during battle. Makes sense, releasing trained animals during battle. Also, you can control drones out of battle, but you can't control creatures. Makes sense, no? And as for fighters (ROVs), well, they don't have that big an operational range, so launching them during combat makes sense.

You could also mod in something like "depth charges" which would function as fully controllable PD (since all "units" are underwater vehicles) for short range, with low accuracy but high attack. Also, torpedoes should be able to hit units. You could mod in subs that have innate clokaing capability.

But indeed this would make an excellent new game. You could then also create actual fighters, bomber, fighterbombers, helicopters, cruise missiles and such. Also, boarding combat would be executed by marines/commandos who would also be able to fight to conquer cities (or whatever it is that are your economic bases).

You could also make it possible to create a "choice" in the game setup screen, whether you would choose to play in, say, a WWII era, a modern-day era, or a sci-fi futuristic era. Each would have similar possibilities but different types of gameplay. Im WWII, "human torpedoes" were used. You could use those in the game. In the modern-day era, you would have access to massive aircraft carriers, AWACS, cruise missiles, trained animals, commandos boarding ships via helicopters, CHARCs, etc. The sci-fi futuristic era would have other ship types, perhaps with types like "plasma carrier" as being a fairly large ship with a heavy plasma cannon, interceptor firgates with medium-range lasers, swarm missiles, robotic units, perhaps even orbital lasers.

edit: Sorry, I forgot to say it, but I didn't think that this would fit between the first and second paragraphs of my previous post. I mean in a textual structural kind of way. I'm not post padding.

(I've got the 1k posts thread for that... ghegheghegheghe! No, just kidding)
