Gratuitous General

[RoyalBengalTiger]

Greetings all,

I got this idea to create a new game mode for OG.

If anyone played Gratuitous Space Battles then you already know what I'm talking about.

This game mode would allow for a LOT of deployment fields, but after the player's army is deployed, then it's AI vs AI.
The strategy would be about force composition, deployment, and the smaller the prestige price, the more prestige for the commander on the scoreboard.

The grand strategy would be picking the next battles in a non-linear campaign.

Whaddaya think?

This is an interesting idea, indeed. I'm not sure if it's funny enough to just watch the two AIs boxing fro the trophy, otoh I just finished watching the very same match when I tested AI behaviour during a test of my new campaign, so...

It's definitely a really novel (also a bit weird) take on what OG can do, but if you feel like designing that, go for it! Worst case SCENARIO, the CAMPAIGN would be boring (awful puns intended), and you'll have to either redesign it, or cannibalize the work.
As long as YOU will have fun designing it, it's definitely a nice (and clever!) idea.

Well then play GSB or some turret defense game. These are not played for exercising your brain but for letting it take a break, and they are popular.

I need to finish the Poland mod I'm doing first, then I might take a shot at an experimental campaign with this gameplay.
