American war of Inderpendance next please :)

[Apollo1381]

Hi Chaps,

this game and time frame are great and am looking forward to giving it a go. However once you are done with war of rights i would think the American war of Independence would be a bigger hit. ;) (my opinion)

Will there be some sort of progression system i.e. as you play you earn xp which you can invest in your character like reloading quicker, steadying the aim, things that would occur in real life as you become more efficient with the weapon.

ranking system
uniform designs / progression (ranks, medals)

anyway, just my 2pents

all the best

[TrustyJam]

Hi there!

Welcome to the forum and thank you for the kind words. :)

We have no other focus than War of Rights and the Civil War as of now and we plan to focus on it for many years to come if we are allowed to do so.

We have no unlockables/xp system planned.

It would be awesome if Campfire Games becomes the household name for the best historical games and can invest in several eras!

Yes! I have been waiting for a game company to helm their effort on making historical games (outside of RTS's, as they have too much traction). Games starring the American Revolution, Franco-Prussian War, Spanish-American War, and Russo-Japanese War, as well as others could be covered.

[Legion]

I would love to see the Revolution done. It's very rarely done in games at all.

We could also have mods that explore the American Revolution.

[michaelsmithern]

I would love to see other wars as well, I love the thought of the American Civil War, but things such as Japanese Civil War(Boshin War I think it's called) Revolution, War of 1812, Great Northern War, Seven Years War(French and Indian War) and plenty of others that i'm sure would be great.


However I'm more excited to see the entire civil war be covered or most of the Major Battles

[[WoR] Kiff]

That'd be cool if [CG] did a different war every 4 years or so. American war of Independence, French Revolution, etc.. That would be neat! But for right now we should focus on the game at hand. ;)

[A. P. Hill]

Finish the ACW first.

Then, yeah, I'd love to see the American Revolutionary War attempted.

[[WoR] Kiff]

This thread should have a poll on it in all honesty..

[Leifr]

Why?

[[WoR] Kiff]

Why?

Just to get a general idea of who all would want it to turn into different wars and such in the future :)

Oh let's please not turn this into the Democratic Party, no offense. They poll everything.

[Mr.True]

Realistically, all you would need to have a revolutionary war game is a mod for War of Rights. The style of fighting is similar, the battlefields are similar, the weaponry is similar(Though a tad more advanced in War of Rights), but since the game is so high quality as far as graphics and gameplay in general, making a mod would be much more difficult and would require more advanced modders than Mount and Blade Warband needed.

[Kyle422]

I don't see any reason to even have this tread until they finish the American civil war which if they do decide to do other campaigns of the ACW it would be Years and years before this would be attempted.

Also, there is a severe lack of historical shooters that are not in WW2. The reason why I am so excited for this year is due to the amount of historical shooters coming out. There is still a long way to go.

[Jack Clock]

Yeah, but I find it bad that AAA developers do not try to cover history in any way, preferring to go farther into the future, which makes me quite sad. I did not give BF4 a second thought when it was announced, but had my eyes glued to the computer screen when BF1's reveal trailer came out. If other companies took the way DICE went, things would be better for them.

Plus, I'm a teenager, meaning I go full OCD when I try to be patient.

It's alright :p video games are not history based for some reason that I do not understand, well majority of them that is. It's either you building a roller coaster amusement park or surviving a zombie apocalypse when they could be designing games to teach, educate, and have a fun experience with history! What's up with that? That's why I am so strongly passionate about this game, it's a rare little birdy that you don't see all that much. I'm on the same page with you Jack :D

It's pretty simple. It's about money.

We've got to have... MONEY...

But yeah, teaching my generation about history has always been something I strive for, and video games would make that easier to do so.

I totally agree with that, I mean god knows how many people play "Grand Theft Auto" Think about having that many users but with a game that can teach history whilst having fun doing so!

Well... we got RDR2, so yay!

But currently, there are quite a few historical shooters and such coming out, like RS2, The Trench 1916, War of Rights, Revolt 1917, a Napoleonic shooter, and The Wilderness 1862. Still, mostnof these games do not have enough budget, but after BF1, expect more historical ges in the future...

But...to be very honest. I'm no businessman or entrepreneur or whateaver. Wouldn't a fairly well made game about something outside WWII,modern warfare and future warfare,at worst,draw a lot of attention from the FPS community?

That is a good point, however, the developers do not realize that, as they think that their demographic of younger children would find it rather boring. Let's hope BF1 ends this trend...

Sure, if you wish to put a hidtorical skin on game mechanics identical to a normal modern shooter (like BF1 really only was) I'm sure you can please the majority of the crowd. Don't expect big companies to do authentic old warfare FPS titles though as it would ailienate most of their audience (just wanting a "normal" feeling shooter on their console). :)

I don't think that's TOO bad. It would be interesting to see how you could take a historical time period, and make a game out of it.


Plus, taking the realism route should not be the main focus. The mass market would be very frustrated playing a game that does not have anything for them at all. What's the point of playing the game if you don't even understand anything going on?

[Jack Clock]

Besides, education does not have to equal realism. Verdun is an arcadey shooter where you can B-hop around the map as a Canadian soldier with a Ross Rifle, or as a British soldier with a Lewis gun on a map where only French people fought. And yet, that was the game that got me interested in WW1. I imagine BF1 did the same thing for many kids in my history class (as well as me, lol. I'm pretty much a third teacher there).

Btw good morning from Southern California!

[Jack Clock]

My only question about a Revolutionary War game, is how it will play. will it be like WoR? Or will it be more... gamey? I imagine the game itself would possibly be very asymmetrical, with the British being like the U.S.A with their superior military firepower, and the Americans would be like the Vietkangs, with practices of Gorilla Warfare and outdated guns. Maybe the French could be in-between, and everyone ignores the Spanish. It would be interesting to see how a classic American time period is covered in Video game form.

Mount and Blade mods are terrible examples, as they all hold the same god-awful combat that Warband's MP had. Plus, the graphics look uglier than my face, so that is also a major problem.
