darthturtle Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 So I was wondering... will the combat in 0 AD be standard real time strategy like AOE (rock paper scissor combat emphasizing unit choice and resource management) or real time tactics like the Total War series (simulation of real world tactics, emphasizing positioning and morale)? Personally I prefer real time tactics because I can't micro but then the game is classified as an RTS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 0 A.D. will be more RTS than RTT, though we hope to add some more RTT elements in that we want to add some more value to formations and so, in general it's far more RTS than RTT though. (As a personal side note I find RTS easier to micro-manage than RTT, but that might be more due to me being used to RTS game play than RTT ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I prefer real time tactics because I can't microas far as naming conventions go:strategy effectively means thinking is most important and your decisions matter more than your ability to implement them perfectlytactics effectively means micromanaging individual units / groups of units into formations usually involving high amounts of button presses and clicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 as far as naming conventions go:strategy effectively means thinking is most important and your decisions matter more than your ability to implement them perfectlytactics effectively means micromanaging individual units / groups of units into formations usually involving high amounts of button presses and clicksTechnically you are correct, but the industry has settled on terms that we now have to use. lol RTS came before RTT and it was easier to just call the new sub-genre RTT instead of renaming the existing genre.

GONdorman Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Well, according to the previews, info, stuff the makers have posted, etc... Battles will be a mix of RTS and Total War, though I do not know a lot more. I´d personally prefer the combat system to lean more towards Total War strategy (TW RULEZ ) but I´m not making the game Anyway:It will be AWESOME !!

This is even worse in a fast paced RTS. In RTT your unit can't just disengage if they're in melee, meaning micro that fast will tie up your troops all over the place, giving your opponent opening and weak points to expose.

darthturtle Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Depends on the community, if the community is immature, then censorship will benefit everyone. However if the community is mature, then censorship wouldn't be needed.Anyway, back on topic, post which system you prefer and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxguy Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) given the small disapointment i had when i saw shoguns hellenic warfare article, that given the amount of troops probably available per game i assume it would be better of as an RTS, although a few RTT features would be nice.in deed it does ''sux''@#$% you, @#$%, @#$%, @#$%, idiot, moron hmmmm only the last three are visible, guess i will have to settle Edited March 24, 2009 by saxguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if the community is mature, then censorship wouldn't be needed.It also shows distrust of web admins towards community. Censorship is always wrong. If someone is immature, he must face the consequences.Anyway, back on topic, post which system you prefer and why?Well, that depends. It isn't question easy to answer. Both have significant pros and cons. I like both equally.I like AoK as well as Total War games. Both excel in different way, and both are really good. IMHO.

Mythos_Ruler Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) First of all, it is not "censorship" since this is a private forum and you are all guests in our house. Secondly, more than half of our forum membership are legally children. Why risk raising the ire of parents? Our game will be rated T for Teen. And lastly, why should we bother having to ban people, delete posts, and all that when we can turn on the word filter with a flip of the switch? If you want to curse at each other there are other forums. Edited March 25, 2009 by Mythos_Ruler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthturtle Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Please, I think we can talk about censorship in another thread, this one is about the combat system of 0 A.D.Let's forget the censorship problem for now, and discuss the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jugulator Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I prefer the RTS games rather than the RTT, but a long time ago i played Medieval Total War, and I experienced the tactic system made in a battle.I read along the thread and i suppose that the team is going to add some tactic characteristics, the fussion sounds attractive for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthturtle Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yeah... the game sound awesome and the tactical elements should at least help me a bit in the game.However don't expect me to play online, I'm not really good with these games, and the ping will be terrible (I live in Vietnam ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 I like RTS because I played it a lot more and I like having to look after an economy in the early game and not neglect it as the game goes on. I'm not a big fan of head to head fights unless I have a huge advantage in strength and numbers. I prefer to choke the economy of the other team.
