Second World War Server Idea.
 

Alright, im sitting here with the A-Team music, talking to snakeandy, and im hit with a task, "Ideas for a server that have'nt done before,". Well, we have medevil, future, modern, What's left, and then i started to relate to our timeline, The Second World War time, ideas mainly based off the game Call Of Duty 2 which i recently bought for Xbox 360.

I know dinosaurs and working through the timeline hasnt been done before, but that;s just so random lol.

Now, i just want to see something new on graal, instead of all the same crap, and i thought id post the idea of a "second world war" server here, and get some feed back.
And the shooting system will be nothing like eras, it would be a click, direction, and the bullet goes that way, and also ducking and proning features and blah blah.

But using this idea we'd have alot of ideas to back the server up, seeing as this was a huge battle, we also have places to relate to for the level designs, and wars.

I was also thinking, why not make everyone the same team, and the other side NPCs, so you have a map, which has different areas highlighted, if they are red, they are the NPCs (Hitlers Army), if they are green, the allies have them.

So, players would create squads to take over towns, knowing there are huge armys of NPCs that are defending their grounds, AI would be needed :P

Thats all i think i need to post for now, so, yeah, feedback please :)

It's not a bad idea, but it could never be done the right way with Graal. People could go to other games if they want that kind of feel, and they play graal because of graal's feel. However, that's just me. Some people might feel different.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the dinosaur thing and the WWII things are not new, better luck next time.

Not new ideas I guess, but to see it online, whether Underconstruction, Hosted, or Classic, I have not seen.

So good luck if the idea is attempted.

Interesting idea but I think it would work better in a Zone style system. You pick a side (allies or axis) or whatever and you fight against eachother. Unless you could make some amazing AI for graal, then against NPCs would probably get old very quickly.

Zone is quite popular, so the idea should be quite popular as well. I guess the theme would just be different.

In general, there could be multiple ideas for this kind of theme. You could have both the Allies and Axis have objectives. Protecting the base, retreiving hostages and/or items, and raiding I guess.

Think of a game such as Tom mentioned, CoD. There could be a lot of derived ideas which could be used.

For example, like Zone, pick which side to be on. So pick a team and rescue the NPC hostages and lead them back to the base. Make sure the NPC characters are protected. The most NPC characters returned to the base wins or such. It could work reverse for the other team with the most NPC characters killed wins. It would be score based. Just an idea?

Yeah, basically, but set in the Second World War, with plenty of history to back the ideas. And with a nice use of the particle effects, could produce something really nice.

I have'nt personally seen any second world war servers, but it would be nice to see something such as thing done.

The dinosaur idea was just something random when i found a picture of Barney lol

Haha, Zone's going through the same phase as Era.

Tom's Idea #134

Make it like Advance Wars for DS. ;)

lol Yen your all wrong.....

it's actually #491

I imagine 13 years old people on it..
if they behave like on gk playing a soldier in germany x.x oh my god.

ww2 is nothing to fun about.

It would be cool if it could be done with the 3D engine. :)

Yeah, that's an idea, as soon as Stefan or whoever is making the development tools easier for making 3D servers, then i might do that, seeing as i can do good 3D models, and being able to use photoshop at times, i can make nice textures :D

"LAWL LOOK I SHOOOTED U LEL HEJIL HEETAR!

LOLOL! WHATS THE THIRD REICH?"

Heres a simple idea of what I would see.

If anyone would actually run with this, I'd be willing to help, atleast as a reference. I have an extensive knowledge of WWII, being that I help in living histories.

With that being said, I think it be work with the 3d engine.

Not worth the effort, won't match up with retail games out that are amazing.

I don't see the point of throwing another pointless WWII game out there, since there are 11489134072352085723965234923649263 already in the market, all of which will outshine a Graal version. However, using the Graal3D technologies, make a game in which you are a lone assasin, yet remaining in the medeival timeframes. Daggers, poison, bows, longbows. Have it all. Or just make an RPG entirely, Kingdoms-esque, but not suck. Classes, etc, etc. Just make it 3D.

Pull this off Tom and I'll have your babies.
