Bodies

[:1]Since bodies will remain on the battlefield as long as performance possible, how about making it possible to do something with them? Obviously reclaiming is out of the question(well, almost) but something like resurrection as a high level spell for Good or raising them as zombies as a weak spell for Bad would be pretty cool.|||BCCC|||Kenquinn|||If you let them be for long enough they will spread disease, so you have to make structures that will clean away bodies.
Zombies will do as well though. |||I'm between zombies and spirits.. hmm|||Or you could call them Spectral warriors.|||Zol|||Finding a use for bodies would be great/cool, imo, even if it was something like one faction can raise them from the dead, another could use them as food, etc... |||I do remember chris saying something about raising the dead a while ago.|||FuryoftheStars|||Zombies.
However, if you are to raise a big bunch of units as zombies, I demand that you have no control over them.
They would attack all units that stumble on their path, BUT would prefer attacking enemy units and would autonomously head towards any known enemy units.
Or you could drain them as mana or something.|||Zombies are slow, but can take much damage.|||Mazrix|||if the economy resources of gold/stone/etc are finite, bodies should keep their full value for those, and we should be allowed to loot/graverob.|||Cybran Freedom Fighter|||Mazrix|||The loss of units IS the punishment for foolish attacks. 100% reclaim rate is just ridiculous. Sure, you can still do successful harassment against undefended targets, but in the end, the game will turn into mass reclaiming and just throwing a zillion units at the enemy.
If your attack is unsuccessful, you already lose the units. You now have none and the enemy is in good health. Are you seriously suggesting that even at that point the game should punish you to the point of granting the enemy with the gaming equivalent of the holy grail?

GPG is going to have to make their game appeal to a large crowd. The very hardcorest of gamers who would gladly have games last longer than 30 mins most of the time is a minute fraction of the gamer base.
While it would make an interesting mod IMO, I don't think it would work as the gameplay basis for KnC if GPG is to make money out of it.
EDIT: Added 4th condition because The_Silencer thinks he is funny.|||Mazrix|||Different situations apply. Sometimes you just want to play a quick game before heading off to wherever you are going.|||Then better to watch a couple of tubes instead of that good movie... |||Quote:|||Just a side-note.. I'm wondering whether to put archers on those walls will be a possibility or not.|||chosan
