I'll be there every step of the way... Posts: 4,813 Group: C Rank Legend Member #1,680 Joined: July 13, 2007	Just a random thought. Think about having units on a Green Hill Zone board; Eggman's badniks on one end, Sonic and pals and some flickies on the other end. Then you play it kinda like Chess... Or Fire Emblem. But I guess that wouldn't leave any room for making the game feel speedy, though... Or would it? What if it was really fast paced, and encountering an enemy threw you seamlessly into a platforming segment where you had to, maybe, get to the end of an area within 10 or 15 seconds and destroy the badnik to advance or something. Or maybe that ruins a lot of the strategy. But really, think about it. It wouldn't be impossible to make a good game out of it.

I would buy it and three more copies.

Having a bunch of units and interacting with your allies and the environment to defeat enemies in an efficient and strategic manner. I think that's just my massive love for Disgaea seeping into the topic tho'. \|V Still, I do loves me some Disgaeas...

A full-fledged RTS would be a nightmare to handle, and besides, while Robotnik's banik army is fair enough, I just don't see Sonic and pals sending out waves of expendable troops. How about... instead of having player turns, each individual unit has a turn? Every time a unit's turn comes up, they have a certain amount of time (say 10-30 seconds) to move and attack on the field before it swaps to the next unit's turn. It'd be somewhat like a mix between the Worms games and Resonance of Fate in that manner. This way, there's still an element of speed, but the turn-based tactics still exist. You should also be able to attack and move at the same time, like in the normal Sonic games; movement and attacks could build up a Momentum meter which increases damage, but slowing down or taking damage from hazards or Overwatching units would reduce it, as well as wasting precious turn time. I dunno, that's just some ideas.

Those who do good, do... Posts: 2,450 Group: S Rank Hero Member #12,907 Joined: April 24, 2012 Playstation Network ID: joshyboist Xbox Live Gamertag: starlighter XX	sounds like a good idea, if it is funded, I just hope they put some classic characters on there, like mighty and lumina, and maybe put some characters from unreleased games in it, like the princess that was going to be a main character in the unreleased game "Sonic doom", but never appeared again until one of the scenes in the archie comics sonic...

Humans are fine though. [DOUBLE STANDARDS~] There will always be casualties, it just pays to ensure the death toll list is in your favor. If the weak, expendable infantry must die to ensure the strength and well being of the stronger, more damaging units than so be it. They give their blood to the Blood god and die in the name of the gods of CHAOS!Coughs coughs Er, sorry, the Chaos lord in me took over. Don't worry about the little critters though, I'm sure they will be alright. If not that's what reserves are for. Edited by VlaDDrakkeN, Jul 30 2012, 02:37 AM.
