Galactic Conquest

i know im ripping from BF2 here but wouldnt it be cool if there was a multiplayer mode were you choose your race, and control your fleet around the galaxy colonizing planets and going to war againts other players colonys aswell?

 

or the total war series or galactic battlegrounds

but yes it would be cool. however it is also something I doubt they would implement. Perhaps it would be possible to make something like this in the editor though.

 

Well, the way campaign mode is set up now, it would make sense. You get bonus for side missions, why not the side missions involve that?

 

possibly someone whos good with it i can hardly make a map out of the warcraft3

 

well yes for campain mode but im talking about a multiplayer mode simular to play with your friends.

 

It is a huge effort to organize but sometimes it is done Privately organized on Dawn of War. It would be really nice if SC2 supported that Campaign/Tournament style. With the Editor you could produce several scenarios and Previously earned "bonuses"... Huge effort as I said.

Basically imagine the Dark Crusade campaign without computer Players.

 

It sounds like a good idea.  The Galactic Conquest in Battlefront 2 took a really long time to finish though.  I can only imagine it taking alot longer in Starcraft 2, seeing how a single Starcraft game usually lasts much longer than a battle in Battlefront 2.

 

Naturally you could save it any time you want.

 

That would be cool.

Is your idea like the EaW conquest mode where you take over the galaxy in one sitting all by your lonesome or is it more of the MMO you pick a group and territory expands and contracts with the overal performance of the entire community?

 

That is a nice idea but I doubt they'd do something like this

We dreamed something similar in WC3, it never materialized

 

We can ony hope. Also if we get enough people to say this is a good idea on enough forums then we can take it up with Blizzard and it might happen.

 

this would make it feel more rpg-ish

 

but but all the game makers are doing it.

 

It has to allow breaks and savings. Unfortunately it might fall apart if some players just can´t make it for the later matches for one or anothr reason... Maybe you can appoint a replacement in your clan/f-list?

 

i was thinking more of a, you land your fleet on a planet and start making your colony then launch off and make another colony, and the enemy can choose to land on your planet and invade aswell you could meet in space for space battles and if theres defences around the perimeter of the planet you can build they will repel invaders.

 

That is the idea. Each "conflict" would take place as a 1v1 between the attacker and the victim. The biggest problem is if you want to attack for Example Braxis but it is currently under control of Player "Hanswurst" who is currently sleeping? A proper "Galactic Conquest" would take days! That is the main problem with the concept (as cool as it is).

 

This sounds almost exactly like Star Wars: Empire at War....actually, everything you said there was in Star Wars: Empire at War. That would probably work with StarCraft...But how would the space battles work? Would it be on a space platform, or would you have special flying buildings that only build aircraft? (or should I say, "StarCraft")
