===========================
TrollBrad (TB) is a small 1 developer project. The main task of the project is to join the RPG and RTS styles with some unique (or lets say rare) features.
Main objective will be to command the small mercenary army.
Each fighter is a character you can influence and control.

Some main features.

- NO HP system.... there are wounds and related stuff.... but not HP at all
- NO XP system.... You do not place any points.... what you use, that you train...
- ALL the hits are like in real life.... you have to hit the part of enemy with the weapons impact point to make damage.
- Units could be controlled solely or in troops.
- All the NPC live their own life... (ohhh... basically all the world is the set of places and armies... and the are interacting)..

////////////////////This Demo Contains
This demo is a combat only demo. So no Chargen, no world, no acces to inventories...
There are some preset items and skills and points....
All you can do is to see the blanc map and comand units to do some little things.
There are 10 enemy units on the map...

////////////////////Controlls
Mouse Click+Drag->Select Units by selecting Rect

Straange ))
Tried now on 2 different PCs... went fine even on Windows 7 )

[stefbuet]

I really like your characters models and animations, pretty well done!
combat stuff is also cool.
But I think it could be really nicer with shadow

[Bear_130278]

Sure ))
To tell the truth.... shadows are the thing i'm working on currently...

[Lonesome Ducky]

I'll definitely try this when I get home

[fennec]

Neat. 80-100fps. Win7 midrange pc.

The damage system you describe sounds interesting. What kind of injuries are you planning, and what are the effects on the soldier's behavior/effectiveness?

[Darktib]

Really cool!

How did you manage to create the code to move a pack of units ? Have you a tutorial for this for example? Thank you in advance.

[shadowslair]

I replaced the "7helm_1.x"(buggy one) with a copy of "7helm_2.x" and it ran fine, about 30 fps. Nice job!

[Zervox]

Had about 130 fps 127 minimum on a fairly high end pc
Q6600@2.9Ghz, HD5850 8GB mem windows 7 64bit

Good job by the way, I like the units

[Bear_130278]

fennec, ideally injuries will influence the corresponding skill\stat\ability..
Hit to the leg, will lower the speed
Head lower the accuracy and sight range
Arms lower attack speed or the ability to attack at all
End all the injuries lower the stamina and morale..

[Bear_130278]

Darktib, it is very simple.... nothing interesting in fact..
It is based on the predefined offset patterns...
The pattern is a formation....
You just take a pack of guys and command them to fill the pattern.. that is it )

[Darktib]

Thank you for you answer!

[teto]

Very nice job. Some small updates could considerably improve gameplay (assign groups, best use of the minimap).

i'm looking forward to trying your next release.

[Cloudef]

Runs pretty good, 185fps (Light 2 turned on) on Linux Mint. Q6600 4gb ram Nvidia 8600gt.

Camera controls are still pretty akward, also controlling through minimap would be sweet. I liked how you can switch units weapons.
