Combat
nas1m:
Reducing the range of all military significantly (like in: cut them in halve) also might go a long way to achieve a more ponderous style of combat that is befitting the idea of "cities doing battle", which is how I always envisioned the stuff described by Chris to play out.
Imagine behemoth cities crawling around the map like living things, doing battle at their fringes and occasionally devouring each other ;).
kasnavada:
I hear you on that one =). Shorter range could help =).
I've no idea where Chris is heading though, so I'm trying to focus on brain-storming about the current idea and ideas about going wildly off-track.

Easy: 5
Normal: 3
Hard: 2
Harder: 1
Nightmare: 0
Thanks to kasnavada for inspiring this change.

I think this thread triggered this. The guys attempting nightmare are going to hate me =).
Anyway, others having ideas and / or opinions ?

If they've played any games designed by Chris before, they won't hate you. If you play on Nightmare (or Misery) in an Arcen game, you probably know what you're getting into. :)

You'd play your "city-building" turn, then, on "end-turn" it would be "warphase", simultaneous attacks from both sides, marines / robots / planes rushing to defend your place and kll stuff, killing armies or destroying the closest buildings, then coming back home. You would "decide" where they would attack, then intercept / be intercepted depending on their orders. Of course, "no limitations of range" by turrets in that mode - you can attack stuff next to your territory with whatever you want. I know it sounds like a series of guerrilla attacks, and I think that seems to fit the videos well from what I've seen.
