Line battle game mechanic ideas

Have you ever seen something like a Napoleonic war battle? All the soldiers charge at the same time to clash in the middle! Any ideas on the mechanics I would REALLY REALLY like to implement that into my game!

when you were uncooperative or trying to desert they likely will shoot you for your cowardly acts

Maybe set their zone very large? There is probably a timing thing, where you all set them to activate/replace another one with lower range so they all go at once.

Yeh just have like zones and when the captain or whatever leader is leading and telling you to march make the zones slowly move and if you dont you get punished or you lose health because you get trampled by someone

Would you use sentries? Because otherwise you could make a barrier that only prevents players from going somewhere, not gadget fire, and you can make it slowly advance?

A lot actually,

Before people started doing guerilla Warfare it was quite a formal fight you had to stand there and just accept your fate

history?? napoleanic war??


-maybe some messages from your officer [randomly chosen] that tell you what to do, like fire, and if you don’t you take damage. y’know, dont get out of line.
-add napoleon as an npc, just make him really short
-maybe add pseudo-teaming so that there can be deserting and spies
-invade constantinople! everyone is doing it!
-maybe no walking, like when the player in front of you is knocked out, you teleport forward, making it like a line, one goes down, the next comes up
-is gimkitsuggestor’s background the battle of bunker hill?
-maybe add things like navy and artillery as side missions, like between battles just add it like a minigame.(with artillery?) until the next battle
