I would play a well-crafted elder scrolls soldiers game.

I did think about this, but it's hard to narrow down on an era to get the flavour right. Morrowind is probably the best flavour setting but doesn't lend itself to a thread vs thread conflict really but i dunno

A Cold War era spy setting. Crib from Fleming or Le Carre.

Hmm i don't really read much spy stuff.

i have played both games. Highwire and I ran the LoL soldiers game way back, i think DbD ran a dota one?

I dunno i think the flavour in the games is boring, even if playing them is alright.

It's a lot of different guys with cool abilities who star in competing games, flavor wouldn't be too hard and you could go hog wild on mechanics.

The Great War - Imperials vs. the Thalmor - could work.

I could even use my extensive knowledge of lore to help craft it, though I'd definitely prefer playing.

ESO works for a 3-way soldiers thing. I'd play that but get stuck in Deshaan when I get too busy in real life to play the game.

I have it on my X1, so no monthly sub for my minimal play - but I have the X1 gold yearly subscription. At least I can use that with other things too (if I ever play).

While true, i guess my reluctance here comes to i've already run a LoL soldiers game and don't feel inspired by the concept.

True, maybe i'll run a second poll with the most popular options + other suggested ones to nail one down. Thanks for the offer, but if the flavour appeals to people as players that's probably more important than modding/writing.

It's an honest comment. I trust you'll make this game.

I just think of making all sorts of different games, either by thinking about the setup or the flavour, but I know I can't pull them off before running out of steam so they never get off the ground.

So far farting is winning. If fart wins, i will do a fart, and so must everyone that voted for farting.

Or you can post in thread that you farted and what your actual flavour choice would be and i will manually count it

The only game I've fantasized about making but never have because of lack of time/effort/skill/intelligence/creativity/gumption was France 2012, but if I couldn't make it in my prime I definitely can't make it now, so a dream it shall always be.

also I now really want to play an elder scrolls soldiers game, consider my vote for two busb. I promise to be a Good Player and not criticize the modding too.

I see your point, which is one more point than the Triumvirate has!

You see, it's funny because the tribunal of vivec, sotha sil and almalexia is remarkably lovely.

The tribunal expansion is probably the best content of any elder scrolls game.

Morrowind is one of my favorite games of all time.

Cricket vs baseball

A screaming chimpanzee waving a flight hand vs a space alien that says "gleep gloop" a lot

A friendly robot vs an unfriendly kitty cat

Ranchers vs farmers in the American West with the weapons being barbed wire and wire cutters
