>>737738654There's a arma or mount and blade mod for every conflict throughout history.
>>737738654This exists as a Roblox game called “Zulu”
>>737741719>>737740938But what if people...DON'T want to play arma,MaB, or roblox?
>>737738654>1800s Alaskan Gold rush>Survival with temperature/weather mechanics >Camp-building mechanics>Enemies are other prospectors and cryptids
>>737744828GIANT ENEMY BEAVER
>>737744828Would it be similar to ark?
>>737745195No, more emphasis on surviving the cold and occasional giant beaver/skinwalker than collecting resources to build a base and tame wild animals. Also not multiplayer
>>737738654War on Terror XCOM-like.Pro-US Military propaganda.
>>737745290I can see people liking that.>not multiplayerThat seems like a mistake if it doesn't have a ending.
Honestly these niche things that people pitch, already are thing in mount and blade. Like bannerlord for example has a conversion mod ranging fron the bronze ages, to rome, to the middle ages, and up to the napoleonic era. It also has lotr and warhammer fantasy. You can also just make your own with modlists
>>737745516Mods aren't games
>>737745670What you are asking for is the shallow experience and gimmick, the fantasy of playing some role in a specific scenario, which is what these modding platform games are for.
>>737738654They are billions clone surrounding the events of the battle of Peking
>>737745759>What you are asking for is the shallow experienceYou're retarded. It's a "make a video game pitch" thread not a "design every last aspect of a video game" thread. Look up what pitch means
>>737745404The ending is you gather enough gold to leave the place and never return again. But Gold spawns are different for every playthrough
>>737745516>what if you don't like the games with mods>what if you want new mechanics>what if you want something else>what if 1000 other thingsMods are good but people (usually one) has to have the autism to make it. There are multiple reasons why someone would want a new game instead of a mod.
>>737745925Sounds cool ngl
>>737745929The stuff you are asking for is ultra specific niche stuff that would people who mod games like total war or mount and blade would already do in the first place.

>>737746113>a game where you collect monsters to fight against each other? that's some ultra specific niche stuff, you need a Mountain Blade mod for that cause no one wants that game

>>737738654"Gimme My Pyramid!" It's a Tetris-style falling block puzzle game where you play as a pharaoh commanding slaves to collect and drop bricks for your pyramids.
What would a game about the emu war look like?
>>737745516It's funny because modding opens up a lot more accessibility for making these games possible.Nobody using conventional engines will make a Mount and Blade like game with a thousand troops that are all active and not simulated. It's far easier and cheaper to make a mod changing the clothes, stats, factions and some code than creating a new engine explicitly to compete with what could be a mod for "free".The same with RTS games, it's easier and cheaper to mod Total War than it is to start copying their engine and then again, compete with a mod that would be far more mature.>>737738654As an example.This can be done in Bannerlord. All you need is assets for the equipment, to create the stats and then you use Full Invasion 3 to turn it into a horde mode.There's a Helms Deep horde mode built using the above but instead they use LoTR assets.
>>737746818Classic /vt/ anthem.Admittedly "classic" in this case is only 5 years, but still.
>>737738654Assasin's creed where we foght british occupation in India
>>737738654Mount and Blades full invasion mods should really just be a full game, it does this kindof and has a zulu version but noone plays it . They could absoloutely just do that format and change eras or something.>50 players>different classes, pick you weapons etc>objective is literally just to stop the enemy from capturing your territory on a large map and its left to players how to defend the position and what chokepoints etc>people naturally form shield walls and firing linesStuff like that Over the Top game wouldve lasted longer if it wasnt a purely PvP game and had modes like this itself.
