Title: We play Tactically... why not Strategically?
Post by: T e c h N i c a l on April 07, 2007, 07:55:46 PM
Hey. I've just been wondering recently, why does dMw not give much support to Strategy gaming? We enjoy playing tactically, and what's more tactical than strategy? I currently play StarCraft: BW, WarCraft 3, Dark Crusade and Empire Earth 1. Myself and Eternal play on Warcraft 3 regularly together, and are thinking of creating a small clan. We (or I) where (or was) wondering what it would take to get a WC3 arm of the community? Although you don't get Servers on Battle.net, you do get a great ladder, tourney and so on system, and also a great Team and Friends section.

 Also, I was think maybe a slightly different name for the Strategy clans, maybe Undead Men Walking -=[UdMw]=- :D.

 So, what's your view on Strategy gaming?

T e c h N i c a l. "Unfortunate Noise" Techy, does what it says on the tin.

( meaning he's an annoying talkin' person? )

But yeah, I kinda back Techy, it would be nice to have a Strategy section. ( I don't mind if there isn't, since it wont make much diffrence if no one plays on strategy games. ) (( Confused myself again... ))

I think there are many that play different strategy games.
 
I usually focus on turned based games but RTS is ok as well. Civ series, Master of Orion I and II, Mech Commander I and II etc. Talk to BB/TL/OB and I think they could create a section for us. Could you consider being moderator for it?

Me be mod?

 Ok :P. Anyway, I haven't really played many turn-based games. I played Civ3, but back then I wasn't too intelligent... xD. I did badly.

 And yeah, thanks et. That's really nice of you o.0.

Its easy enough to create a section if you wanted. Just give me the word when you are ready and know what you want to include in it - if it is too general it may not work, best keeping it to a few agreed games and discussing the rest in the "its a game but it aint in the gaming section" part of the forum.

Righty ho. Well, let's discuss what'll be in it here, eh?

 Well, I'd definetly like a WarCraft 3 forum, and Dark Crusade would be nice >.>.

 But anyway, I'll send you a pm once I've got together a solid format ^^.

Could I suggest a sub section in the 'It's a game' section to see how it goes. I like the idea of expansion, but not if it's another section that won't get used or has two regular posters and that's all....

Maybe, but I wouldn't worry about non-activity. In the past, I've been able to foster interest quite well ^^.

Indeed. Also, a few sugestions for games to add; Well, we'll need to know what sort of games you all play, so, letting us know is a good way to get an  idea what sort of games should/will be added.

Righty, some ideas from me. WarCraft III Reign Of Chaos, ( WarCraft III The Frozen throne. ) WarHammer 40,000: Dawn Of War-Dark Crusade, ( Maybe the other two if you feel the need. ), and they are the only ones 'I' feel that MUST be added, as for others, keep sugestions coming. :)

Looks to me like you lads should start a poll of some sort. :g:
And to ET, AoE stands for Age of Empires. :rolleyes:

Played Master of Orion... Still a great classic. A section for turnbased would be really nice!

Have a friend whoøs played the game regularly since it came out :blink:
