cRPG Style commander battle

[Tomas_of_Miles]

As in WFaS/NW except... the troops have the same loadout as you.  OR maybe easier to implement, the troops have a predetermined loadout from linked to your account. Discuss!

More thoughts: linking a troop template from a cRPG account sounds better to me. Maybe balance with variable squad amounts and a total amount of gear.

Imagine an army of platecrutches...

Now rethink your suggestion.

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

Imagine an army of platecrutches...

...ok...

...the mighty plated army of Thomas Miles try to pass the short river, 22nd_GenericRandomClone_Phase's kuyak wearing danish greatsword wielders hit the plate wearers once, then spam the slow fuckers...
...disappointed and sad Thomas Miles goes to bed and cries himself to sleep...
...the end...

Or how about another one?

...the mighty plated army of Thomas Miles charge (pathetically slowly) up the hill, up on the top entire HRE_Adalwulf_The_Snitchs' my old friendcher army shot into the slowly emerging enemy, due to lack of speed the plated army is completely pierced by adalwulfs arrows and the last one falls as he reaches the hilltop...
...Thomas Miles GTXs cRPG forever and gives me all his looms...
...the end...

(I like the ending of the last one and propose we make it a reality)

This would apply if it was not for the fact that Plate Armor doesn't slow you down that much unless you're 36/3, in which case you'd be slow with everything.

[FRANK_THE_TANK]

I'm all for it, would be fun.

Yes let me imagine an army of Antarian Noble Paladins... I like it. Let me now rethink my suggestion. Stfu maybe?

lol jk

Balance could come in some kind of upkeep, certain level limits a.k.a. not level 31, reducing the number of bots per squad if they are more "expensive". This isn't for the sake of xp abuse or gold, if that's a problem take them out of the mix, it would just be fucking fun and epic. Commander battles except with that injection of personality that cRPG has and that other mods don't.

Imagine the different combinations of troops that people could come up with.

[Tomas_of_Miles]

Bump for the good of cRPG!

[Overdriven]

Commander mode would be great for crpg!

[Dooz]

I don't know about crpg specifically, but I've been trying to contain erections at the thought of this kind of thing after playing Napoleanic and wondering why it didn't exist in the first place. The same theory applied to medieval battle, with unit leaders and a certain group under your command, spear lines, cav flanks, the works. Ugghhh, would be so awesome.

[Largg]

This would be really cool, I kinda found this game mode at NW although I've played somewhat of WFaS too. Just imagine how cool it would be to give fire command to 30 longbowmen in straight line firing towards incoming infantry. Or lead a cavalry charge to the rear of pike formation. Something that never happens on public server.

I still doubt the game mode is implementable to warband because WFaS and NW are both commercial expansions. Getting features from them to warband is not allowed. Then again making it from scratch to c-rpg is too tedious job. Porting to either NW or WFaS is out of question too I guess.

[Jarlek]

Maybe we could use the DTV bots?

I would love to get them peasants with me

[Havoco]

Umm...  HA and HX may be OP. Although I do like the suggestion. Ehh, HA need some love anyway.

[LastKaze]

Imagine an army of platecrutches...

Now rethink your suggestion.

Imagine an army of an arbalest line that carries, mw arbalests and mw steelbolts...

[Largg]

I take back my words, commander battle is in The Deluge which is a Warband mod. Not as fluent as in NW but still pretty good. Pretty fun commanding a pike block 

[Dooz]

Oshii, thanks for the info. The Deluge it is! 

Aw damn, it's not purely medieval, gunpowder and stuff. But still seems like an ambitious mod with plenty of cool stuff, worth checking out.
