PLEASE READ: Permanent Dead Bodies in battles

[Opie2Dope]

first of all, this game is AMAZING! well polished, easy to play, hard to master. excellent!

There is ONE SINGLE THING this game needs.... Permanent dead bodies on the battlefield. Just for the duration of each battle, having the dead bodies stay on the field would set the tone for this game. It would also COMPLETELY set it apart from other RTS games. The total war games are the only ones to get this right, and it speaks volumes. If the Devs ever see this, please consider it!! This game needs it. WW1 is the modern dark age, its the dystopian war of crumbling empires, the dystopian war of massacred millions. This one feature would imprint that tone into this game.

Also, this feature would make this game a CRAZY representation of WW1. its already there, but man, it would take it another step..


There is a mod for Steel Division 2 that does the permanent bodies and it totally changed that game for me. It made it complete. I wont play that game without that mod because of how much of an impact it has. . . . Imagine playing Total War.. Now imagine it without the dead bodies that stay on the field after a battle. TOTALLY different. In the former, you can see the battle, see it's tides, see where the shield walls collapsed, see where the cavalry charged, see the final stand..... In the latter option, you only see a grassy field with some trees.... The same thing will happen to this game...

EVERYONE, please help me get this to the devs.

As long as there is no performance hit by this - which depends on the engine they are using and how the game is coded.
Generally, I think the game needs to fix some basic stuff first but if it is toggleable option, sure why not.

Does the number of corpses affect lag? This game has many more times the people in a battle than any TW game.

...does it though? the biggest units have 75 men, 30 units max per side, i mostly play old total war games but while they are limited to 20 per side, you can have units that are twice as big and something like 4 players.

This game only beats them in drawn out battles because you can bring in troops more easily after yours are dead, but given it has such a short timer currently, does it matter that much

Each company is 225 men but only about 25% of them are are actually represented, Total war games have way more units on screen at once, but considering how little polygons each unit in this game is made of unless you have a outdated PC it wouldnt impact performance as much. Hopefully they just make a slider for it so people can adjust accordingly to there PC specs.
