Age of signage is perfect for this. Maybe do a different rule set instead of dnd, but could be awesome

I feel like DnD is really geard toward small group combat…i feel like epic battles of armies would feel very out of place in the forgotten realms

Do WC3-style hero-driven RTS. Somebody needs to bring back Warlords Battlecry but with D&D branding.

Ok, maybe not Faerun, but just spitballing here - Total War: Blood War. Massive armies of devils vs demons, with yugoloth mercenary forces for hire, spread across the battlefields of the lower planes. Could tie in nicely with a re-release of Planescape as well…

I want LOTR total war so bad

FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world on 24 Aug 2023 00:37 next collapse

I would prefer Total War: Rome 3 since we are about 20 years since the original.

Also maybe using LOTR universe instead. Or even 40k?

LOTR would be better. But remember, they have separate teams for historical and fantasy TW. So yeah, maybe Medieval or Empire II will happen still. Probably too early for Rome III because II is still new enough to still be worth playing compared to the most recent games.

They’ve already done 40k But id agree with LOTR I’m not sure how they think dnd fits with large scale battles, and politics. But id also be lying if I said I wouldn’t play it.

Edit: Oh shit maybe it’s Warhammer fantasy that they’ve done

TauriWarrior@aussie.zone on 24 Aug 2023 12:54 collapse

They did 3 games of fantasy, sadly not 40k

This Creative Assembly is a dogshit remnant of the past. Until they stop treating their developers like gig workers and stop rising prices under the lie that they’re losing money (record profits once again), I don’t want shit they make. WH3 has been abysmal so far
