Default Re: Been a while, any word on Dom 4?

Honestly real-time tactical battles would suck. With the number of units, squads and commanders you can put on the field, and the number of options many of them have, it would be a nightmare. If it was turn based and you had to give orders to every squad and commander every round it would take for ever. Big battles take forever just to watch...
If it was actually real time, you'd still have to fall back to the AI for almost everything. I don't want a twitch based battle system.

The only way to make it workable would be to drastically simplify the game. Limit the size of battles and cut back on spell options. I don't think that's a direction anyone wants to go.
