yes

and experience shouldn't be too good, so you can't just use one elite unit with a really high level to kill a whole army.
And mercenaries would also be cool, they might have a preset level and you pay them for each battle they fight in

Well, for instance the battle of Hastings was small yes, only 7,000 per side. But there were other battles throughout europe and the middle east. The battle of Manzikert had about 30,00 per side. EDIT- Oh nvm, I just saw that you can only play as the French or the English. That's a bummer but I bet...

so... is the game going to be cartoon-based?

cool... too bad I don't have a PC...

hm... 2-year old post

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blood_of_Heroes http://imdb.com/title/tt0094764/ I believe that this game was in a film called "the blood of heroes" (above)... and it's set in an apocalyptic future! And here's a clip from the film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbvujqiN3RY

Top ten eras interesting me for computer games: 1. Colonial era 2. Renaissance (Europe) 3. Medieval era/ Crusades 4. Ancient Middle east 5. Dark ages 6. Industrialization (1800s) and "Napoleonic era" 7. America before the European conquests 8. Mongolia (Mostly Genghis Khan and his conquest...

For what it is worth, some ideas about non-linear campaigns. Obviously, I'd love to be doing what you guys are doing, but since I can't, I have to be satisfied with fantasizing about the games I would like to be able to design. I'm envious! Some of these are more of storytelling techniques than gam...

All in all it's a very difficult question as i enjoy them all. However, for most of these periods there are good games... Medieval and crusades: Knights of honor, MTW 1&2, Lords 3, Stronghold 1&2 etc.... Rome: RTW, Legion 2 (soon i hope), Legion Arena and GboR (2 battles every day is my med...

What about a stone-age strategy game?! Here's a thought of how a stone-age strategy game would look like: You'd control groups of about 20-30 hairy men & arm them with rocks and spears... Then you'd send them out of your caves and make the hunt mammoths and raid neighboring villages :lol: Oh, an...

of course that's an option as well

Also if you want some easy flow of money you could put up a cheap mmotbsg like this one: http://www.lastknights.com/ or this one: http://combatgrounds.com/ or this one:http://statika.imperiaonline.org/imperi ... ?rand=1221 or many other rather cheap mmo games...

There are tons of these kinds of back of a matchbox calculations about the money made by MMOs on lots of MMO forums. The big issue is that the cost of enterprise-level servers and networking is very very different to what you and I pay for our network connections. They do make money - but they can'...

It doesn't work for mac, does it?

Just posted a game idea which seems to mirror this one rather well a few days ago... Just shows the age of discovery (at least the part about the discovery) is a rather hospitable setting for computer games doesn't it?

cool 8) I'm actually not that much into MMO games, or at least I don't play them much, so you don't need to worry about satisfying my thirst for MMO games (not that I'm of any particular importance)... just thought a MMO would be a funny idea. But anyways I wish you luck with all your current projec...

Hey, why not make a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online role-playing game) something like WOW or summin, but just in really historically accurate form, and probably in some certain period, like 15-1600, when the europeans were colonizing the world. You would play an adventurer and you'd fight pirates...
