Tags: S.C.O.U.R.G.E.: Heroes of Lesser RenownThere's a thread on the SCOURGE forums asking about whether or not you'd rather have turn based or real time combat for the humorous CRPG spoof rogue-like. Here's the first topic in the thread:
I've been getting some mail saying that battle is too fast and confusing. Some people asked to make the game turn-based (like, might and magic, most roguelikes, etc.). Currently battle in scourge uses a Baldur's Gate-style "pausable real-time" system.
It is possible to make the real-time battle slower, more balanced and less confusing. It's (probably) also possible to make turn-based combat optionally not stop between turns.
So the question is what do you think? I don't have time to play commercial games anymore, but if there is a battle system you say in one and liked, please let me know. Be sure to describe the system in detail (as far as turns, I don't need to know what kind of spells it uses...). My hope is that through this forum we can pick a system that is not overly complex to implement and pleases the most number of players.
Thanks,
