Future campaigns for ntw3 (Inter clan battles)

Postby [N]Tactacus » Thu Jul 15, 2010 2:31 pm

Just some thoughts whilst im ripping off the poor at work,i used to play a game called combat mission (i know Conq did too).Sort of similar to ntw in the fact that you fought a battle with a time limit over 1 map.
Although i do remember it being modded for campaign use where you made several maps with one following on form the next.So the first map was limited to 1 hours gameplay on a smaller then normal map(so easier to create) where you had a position or area to take.
If you got this position then you moved onto the next map in the "series" until finally you hit the last campaign deciding map.Now aswell as linked maps the forces you used were adjusted for the next map according to casualties and each unit had its specific "unit name" making it more historical thus more engrossing in the campaign.

This could in theory be played "command style" with a setup time agreed at the beginning to sort out the armies layout say 10 mins,then the battle could commence.

Now i dont even know if this is possible with ntw,but i do know it would be fantastic to play out.
You could in theory play a real time waterloo or borodino.

Thoughts gentleman??

We`ve already conformed a campaign team with Avon under the supervision of Vc and Pints as tester.
We are working in a simple campaign system with scouts and Lines of Supplies.
I was already appointed in charge of the campaign section at NTW3 clan wars , due, not much for my campaigning skills ,but for our active Ambassadorial activities in all forums.
Avon is a master campaign.... freak, not to find a better word to describe him.
So, with a simple campaign in mind, we are on the road to get a game going as soon as NTW3 is released.

just a thought here

could things like where the battle is being faught and supplies be implemented

French army fighting in russia would have a very hard time re supplying its army never mind feeding it.

Russian army fighting in Russia would find manpower and supplies easy to get thus would have more men on the battlefield.


this could be implemented via
ammount of florins
number of troops allowed
quallity of troops allowed (long supplie lines less quality)

A lot of things are being considred Vaas, we want to keep it rather simple and not too complicated to promote people participating and sticking it through.

Keep it as simple and short as possible. Simple for the lowest common denominator, and short so that everyone who shows up can finish up.

Note that the 1814 Campaign had one major flaw. By assigning myself to one side it became impossible for the opposing side to achieve victory.
