The Amerial War
Massive population bonuses coupled with massive building happiness bonuses. All this to make each individual city that much more important.
Massive population boom is in line with massive earnings and cheap troops.
Massive map and battles, with armies of 10 stacks or more on the campaign map.
No more spies, Assassins can double as spies, but no way to open city gates. Cities are too important to gameplay to allow silly spies to open them.
The gameplay will focus on large set piece battles with a wide variety of physical users in coordination with cavalry, infantry, artillery, and archers. The map will have more distance between cities, making each city at once more important, sieges more rare.
Units will be much cheaper and easier to produce, allowing for simply massive invasions and more field battles instead of boring sieges.
The focus will now be on combat. Extraneous M2TW options such as merchants, princesses will be eliminated.
Religion will play a key role in a faction's ability to summon angelic forces to help defeat its enemies.
The Castle/City differentiation is silly and pointless, each city is important, each city will at once be able to be a military center and an economic center. As it is in the real Nordam and co.
Invading armies will suffer from desertion and attrition problems.
Devastation will be a much greater issue, simulating the problems nations have with hostile armies on their soil.
The plague now has the ability to wipe out entire cities in only a few years.
More aggressive and smarter Campaign AIs.
More strategic locations on the battle map to make campaign map maneuvers more important.
Much shorter and cheaper recruitment times, more units can be recruited per turn.
Much cheaper and much shorter times to build buildings. More buildings may be built simultaneously.
Battle Map Gameplay:
Increased defense values of troops so that they take less losses over the same period of time. - Effectively slowing down battle speeds.
New units with new special abilities for different and more varied battles.
The plan is thus.
1. Release an excellent gameplay mod.
2. Revamp the map to first just make it different. That's the first plan, the European map is getting very old, the new plan is to change it drastically, and in incremental releases polish it.
3. Create a fantasy world around the new gameplay.
If you want to join my team, you'll be subjected to my experimental and revolutionary team planning (There will be for example, many many development tools for us to work with, some of them quite new, some of them I'm developing myself), my personal leadership style (you might want to read my guide on leading mod teams, this will be my personal application of theory), and lots of heterosexual caressing.
Wanted thus far:
Skinners and Modelers
Text Editing People
Map editing people
Texture/image people for loading screens/banners and the like
A video guy to make promotional videos
A marketing guy.
if you're interested in the fantasy world, join the team and you'll find out more information. Public release of the information will be coming slowly.
