Would a Diablo Stategy be cooL?

[maximusje]

I think a diablo strategy style game would be cool. You can create an army of Barbarians, Amazons, Angels, Sorceress, Necromencers , Duids and assassins. U can choose for EVIL and BAd. On the bad side u can create fallens +shaman, Harpies, Snakes and other monsters. U can find uprgades , like talrasha helm that uprgades all ur sorcereses defence. U can build Portals, Camps etc. Maybe this could be a game after D3 ofcourse. :D

[Elfen Lied]

would be okay but id prefer that diablo stay as a rpg, and not stray into the other game genres

[Assassin]

Well, if you're into D&D there is the board game...

[Opus Dei]

yeah theres AoE III for those types of games.. erhm...i mean the old warcrafts and starcrafts by blizzard

[darkjay]

do you have the AoE III game??? i played the demo and was hooked on it lol but i could nevewr get enough cash to buy it

[Opus Dei]

Yeah man i play online but my cpu cant handel it right now.. i need a new vid card. other than that its pretty tight cept you have to specify no rush or its pretty dull.

[darkjay]

ooo man i love that game... i spend like 3 days strait playing the demo

[Opus Dei]

go germans!!

[Elfen Lied]

yeh AOE3 RULES, lol d3 will be better though

[Opus Dei]

of cousre it will thus why we signed up on a websit honoring a game that nthing more than a gost making its subtle intros to society

[Elfen Lied]

you speak good england oi


a diablo RTS would be ok, but it really shines as a rpg

[Opus Dei]

that is true.

[alkalinepowr]

diablo stratgey, let me barf, well i think it wouldnt be good now like wc3

[Elfen Lied]

it would just be weird, course people would by it but thats not the point, diablo is an rpg and should stay that way

any deviation of rpg would be cool too, like a board game or DND game.

[Opus Dei]

all i can say is let aoe and total war deal with the realm of rts

[Elfen Lied]

yes, that is a road diablo does not need to go down

[XxX_Fury_XxX]

i ve never got the molah to git the game or find a demo of it..crap...class work calls

[Elfen Lied]

there is no diablo rts if thats what your looking for, well there is probably a hacked version of another game say WC that has the diablo chars, but i doubt it.

[maximusje]

Lets revive this thread!!!

[Equinox]

What for?

A Diablo RTS would consists of demons vs knights, I really don't know, the LotR games are pretty much what a Diablo RTS would look like. I don't think Diablo world is original enough when it comes to RTS games.

I'm playing AoE III at the moment. Came across as a huge dissapointment since I really loved AoE II and they have nothing in common, so it's the same situation as was with WarCraft III, trying to get used to the idea that "it's a completely different game"...

[FingolfinGR]

a "Warcraft 3-like" RTS in the Diablo universe would be doable in matter units, heroes, etc but i dont think its possible to make a good story for a great campaign in the Diablo universe as it was with Warcraft.

Before you start shooting at me let me explain how i mean it. Diablo was thought as an action rpg. Which means alot action, short breaks for the story. Diablo 1 had it with the tomes we read while exploring the Labyrinth. Diablo 2 through the Acts and Cinematics (/love).

Now a good RTS needs a good campaign if it is to sell (thats what all companies want). And a good campaign needs story. Main thing thats different is that "time" story-wise goes faster in an RTS than in an action-rpg (see how Warcraft 3 told of many battles and brought the story forward in a breakthrough - on the other hand WoW that works very much like an action-rpg is very slow story-wise). After every battle (or playable level) you need another mission, another "step" in the story. The background on Diablo doesnt help to do that. The story is very intense and strong but doesnt really suit an RTS. It doesnt give enough "space" for more battles and i dont think its something that could easily change.

[Elfen Lied]

DIablo is RPG, i dont think it would transistion well to RTS, a RTS like Warcraft or even Starcraft forthat matter could go to RPG very easily and in fact it has, you have WOW, WC the RPG boardgame, and WOW the RPG Boardgame.

diablo is all about one person or a group of people fighting their way to the ultimate boss.

Warcraft is all about lots or races coming together to fight for a common goal, to annihilate the others or to defeat the burning legion, and things of that nature. there are lots of races avaialble, humans, orcs, trolls, dwarves, gnomes, Dranei, Night Elves, Blood Elves. so it work as a RPG very easily.

Diablo is Humans only. well humans and monsters. so as an RTS it would have to be Humans Vs. Monsters, i.e. different Human units, priests, wizards, warriors, archers, Vs. Monster Units based on those from the game, Fallen ones, zombies, skeletons, Goatmen, Venom Lords..

im sure it would be fun but to me it just doesnt seem right, to me Diablo is a epic tale of (often) one man against all odds, doing battle against the many denizens of the Burning Hells.


I just dont really see Diablo being in any other genre than RPG, that is where it really shines, and that is where i think it should remain.

Maybe a sort of RPG/RTS with missions whitin you play the diablo 1 or 2 story, but then as the evil forces. Like 1 mission you are treeheadwoodfist and you need to command the other brutes and fight the incoming humans for 30 minutes. Or Bischbosch that needs to revive all the killed fallen ones in it's area, w/o getting killed by the humans. Or bloodraven that has to survive for 30 minutes and has to create an army of zombies/skeletons. Or the zombie in the Den of Evil (Corpsfire? :S) that has to build up a great army to attack the rogue enchampment instead of that a human comes to the cave? (or both attack, defend/attack strategies). So it's kind a possible and different storylines are possible, but you are right that you can't create a huge storyline.

[FingolfinGR]

not enough to make a good progress. In Diablo everyone wants to know about the Prime Evils. There are the heroes and the villains. There werent many neutral forces around last time i checked :P So theres not much to find in there to keep the player as interested as, say Warcraft 3 in every mission.

sure you can get missions like that if you think about it, but overall i dont think it would have the same feel as the original series.

you are still lfet with the issue of factions, humans vs monsters, not really enough, 2 races.and it would really have the same epic story like feel to it. the whole sense of one man against all odds.

I can think of a lot of races:
-Humans (offcourse), maybe seperate them into ''barbarians'', ''amazons'' etc.
-Monsters, maybe seperate them into ''brutes'', ''fallen ones'' etc.
-Angels
-Undead, maybe seperate them into ''skeletons'', ''ghosts'' etc.
