I'm not sure if it was the best, but it was DAMNED good.....

[AscendedOne]

The reason I was surprised is cuz soulchess wasnt that popular. Guess it wasn't beginner friendly or somethin. Course dota flooded the map screen anyways...

The combat mechanics were the shit in that game.

And by the shit I mean they were extremely shitty. They should have been mini micro battles or something.


Eh, who knows. I might do it, I might not. If I did do this, the game would be less chess and more hex/quad-grid strategy with combat being resolved via a small micro battle. A marine unit would have 8 marines, 2 medics, 1 marauder, and 1 firebat, for a familiar example. I'd rather do something like that if it was for the Marketplace though, because it's ideal for marketplace (only need a couple players to be in the game; mafia requires 15 people to buy the game just to fill one lobby, which is less than ideal). I'd also need a lot of models.

[AscendedOne]

DR curiously, what games did you like in wc3?

[CaressMeTenderly]

Oh god, no, that sounds terrible.
Macro > Micro.
The battles in that game were way more entertaining than trying to juggle controlling 10 different units can ever be.

Part of what made that game so hilariously awesome was fucking around with move speed, kiting, and all that shit.

I didn't care for the battles. They just felt like an unnecessary injunction of luck into a game that's supposed to be strategic and organized, especially one that is inspired by chess. Something like what Rev said would be preferable if the battle system had to remain.

[mrzwach]

Soulchess was a pretty awesome game, gotta say.

I'd honestly say either make battles more tactical and less luck based or remove them entirely and focus more on the turn-based strategy part of the game.

On an unrelated note, are you planning on working on any projects that besides in the near future Rev?

[S.A.S.Cnl.Alpha]

I want to know what Rev is working on right now, if anything at all. Also I want to know if he's going to work on that Turn-Based Strategy game he was working on WC3.
