Default Re: What Kind Of Games Would You Like To See Made?

I'd like to see something along the lines of Salvo, but during the Great War. Battle of Jutland, Falklands, the Med etc, including actions by the Seadler. The same thing for WWII would be nice as well.

Prussia's Glory, sounds interesting, but I can't try it since I use a Mac. So more Mac versions of everything would be nice.

Something based on WWI trench warfare would be cool, so long as ALL nations that took part are represented. Not just Britain, France, Germany, Russia, US.

I vote for an EFS remake too. AT, you should try it out; it may not be everything you mentioned, but it is a good approximation of what seems to be the gist of your request. You can battle it out on land, in the air, on the water and in space, and you must manage economies, morale of both troops and civilians, you must supply your soldiers, keep an eye on production and consumption of resources (you need your Monopols as-is in weapons production, but you must also sacrifice them in Singularity production, without which you are utterly incapable of building spaceships), manage diplomatic relations with four other Houses, the Merchant League and the Church (which, on a side note, is based on - no kidding - Holy Terra), all the while jockeying for position to become Imperial Regent and eventually Emperor. EFS is certainly one of the few games that to me are worth more than most of the rest of the market, simply because it is what it is, a combination of economy, diplomacy and strategy, which are all delicately intertwined.[/rant]

You could also wait and see if Spore is something for you.

Strategia_in_Ultima -

you make some really good points, which is why I think this game still has appeal after almost ten years since its realease date. Why there has not been any effort to put forth a remake is complete mystery to me. I know that at one time there was an effort to release Noble Armada but that too ended up stillborn, which is a shame. From what little I saw of Noble Armada it had promise. It would be interesting to take some the ship design/ship building elements of the Noble Armada game and combine it with an EFS remake.
