Sandbox mode?
« on: November 22, 2013, 08:50:51 am »
I don't know if you've ever played paradox titles or grand theft auto, or other alignment games… but, will there be a mode just to fly around and play with the solar system however you want? I mean, if I want to be a pirate instead of a good guy, sandbox mode would be the most likely place to land. Don't necessarily need to "win," just play with the solar system and see what happens.

I confess I've not played the Paradox titles, but I played the heck out of GTA 1 and 2 back in the day.  I actually really hated the main missions and so forth, but I adored just using the game as a big sandbox.  I'd use cheats to let me access the later cities and then just play around in them, too.  So I totally get where you are coming from!

The interesting thing about TLF is that, largely like GTA, there's nothing to particularly stop you from doing this right from the start.  I mean, the solar system will eventually crumble around you, but you'll have quite a long while to play prior to that happening.

That said, if it turns out that there are some things that would be good options for letting us make that sort of sandbox play more fun or interesting, then certainly those are things we can look at for Advanced Start options.

Well, I'd say CK2 is the most interesting as far as Paradox games go right now ;)

Nice!  I actually did play some of the first one of that, but not a huge amount.

I think it's fair to say that good ol' Murdoch is likely to make an appearance. ;-)

I'd been saying it as a way you might fit in witchery, but that works too.
