SINGLEPLAYER CAMPAIGN

[emanuel92]

i hope you dont waste opportunity like Nothgard devs did with mediocre campaign.

Single player is CRUCIAL part of evry good RTS, (AgeOfEmpires(Mythology)/Starcraft/Warcraft3/)

i would really like see some decent smart and long campaign - like Warcraft3(and amazing Frozen Throne expansion)

smart mission design (for example in AgeOfMythology every mission is someohow different and is fun to replay campaign sometimes...)

and please do at least naration (animation doesnt need to be perfect)

and dont forget crucial part, decent pathfinding!

(WASD) camera movement will be nice too

PS: thank YOU, finally someone who knows, that market for Ancient RTS is here!!!!!!!

hey there. we are going to do our best to make the campaign fun and diversified. however, just as a headsup, obviously our budget is limited, we are only a small indie studio. so please dont set your expectations astronomically high ^^

Thanks for response.

I dont, but do it at least long (i mean around20-30 misions), just get Age of Empires/ Age of mythology as bare minimum for inspiration please. Age of mythology is exactly what we need, it don't must to be Hollywood style ;)

I suggest some short 3-4 mision tutorial campaign where new comers to RTS genre can learn basics, and 2-3 campaigns for different factions with at least 9-13 misions with somehow interesting story.

Im havin big hopes for singleplayer.
I agree with emanuel, that no need to hollywood with high voice acting and hd sgi cutscenes.
But the level of quality should be. I expect some in game engine cutscenes like c&c generals or aom. I hope to see some units, buildings that you can use/fight only in singleplayer.
Most thing i don't like is static pictures.

Good to know, decent noncheating AI is also important. I spent hours playing AoE 2 just vs AI.

Maybe if you make it open for others to contribute with own AI as MODs, that will help a lot, also some tools for customs scenarios like are in AoE2 - you know if you develop that Editor tools for you anyway when you will make lot of valuable content (campaigns) - then you just release that tools as editor (after game release of course, dont waste time on polished Editor now, focus on importat stuff ;) )

Game still on my Wishlist, i like your attitude devs.

[Carnage]

our AI doesnt cheat and yet dare i say it is really competent and challenging to play against. so far we had reports of lots of folks unable to beat the normal AI yet alone hard or very hard :)

modding tools are unfortunately not planned atm tho.

and thanks a lot for the wishlist!!

Sounds interesting.

Unfortunately I have over 600 unplayed games in my library so I'll give this game a pass until it's discounted. :D

But I do really need my Age of Mythology fix.

[Carnage]

ah thats a shame then, it was just discounted until 2 days ago. wishlist us maybe so you dont miss the next sale :)
