Era Wars Guide 2

LILACS’S BEAUTIFUL GUIDE  TO ERAWARS 2D

Okay, so this isn’t going to be great. I am kind of just wrighting it as I go along, and then try to organize it, spell check included.

First off, I think the earlier ideas for a 2d battalion wars like EW were wasn’t liked, because there aren’t many games (if any) that use this type of game play. Unlike the Tanks! like game play, because Tanks! it’s a game on the Atari and Wii and we all know its formula works.

I have to agree, (BRB) (Back from watch the store, wile dads out) a few of the earlier thoughts most likely wouldn’t have worked, but I think I have something plain.

Instead of limiting the player to a certain area of the battle field with each unit, (ie: artillery in the back, infantry in the front). These new ideas will let the player move units up and down the battle field; like in a space shooter game. This added movement, should help open up some of the limited space the player can play in.

The other units available to the player are like different weapons on a space ship, only those “extra” weapons can be added or destroyed during the mission. You could also look upon this as a Metal Slug like game, you can gain and lose weapons during the fight.

There are also more things to do in missions than just shoot up so Thorns (bad guys), there are mission critical buildings, switches and weapons that must be captured. (which only infantry units can do) Plus there are also normal buildings, in some mission you can have a factory that builds more units for you, you build more units using funds, which you collect by capturing bunkers.

Online play could work in many ways,
-Fight to the death
-Who collects all of the bunkers.
-Timed match
-HQ capture

This is still a work in progress, it will most likely get update much until EW’s release.
