Playing units

[raving]

You command youre army and send them to attack an hostile army comming inbound, you quickly give some orders to youre troops and then you chose to take control of 1 units wich will bring you in first person vieuw of that unit and you control all the movements/attacks of this unit. Making it stronger then its AI counterparts since you can move him to a weak spot and start slashing around. When youre unit dies or you chose to go back to youre overal command vieuw you get a 5 sec delay ( giving it a small downsize ). You will be not really aware of what happens around youre unit but you will inflict more damage where he is.
Let's not make it possible to control your uber units. Will make it too easy. ^^

just an idea i have had in my head for some time now.

Hmm, it may be too much of a stretch on RTS gaming. I know micro-management, but this is pushing it a little too far, no?

i also think that would be very hard to do and they can better complete all of the things they want in it.

This might be possible in either a mod or a later expansion. I read on these forums that the game designers were thinking of puting a customizable hero that would level up. Sadly I dont renember which thread it was in.

Yea it's the Legend game mode. Dev said they are probably going to make it, but it will be available as an expansion or patch released after the game. They also said that the hero you control is customizable and will be usable in real games as your hero unit. It will not be too overpowered so you don't need to make one if you don't want to.

I would really like to do this, but it I don't think its going to happen. If you like killing enemies with your own sword try Mount and Blade, its a fun game.

I'm sure rts games will eventually (fully) incorporate the concept you outlined Raving; Dawn of War 1 & 2, Mark of Chaos and of course Dawn of Fantasy have elements of individual hero control.

One can only hope Aothane.

I don't think it would be to hard for them to add a first/third person view in some way I know Spellforce has this feature in it and I loved it so it would be cool.
