C&VG have interviewed Liquid Entertainment president Ed Del Castillo to find out a little more about the Middle Earth flavoured RTS, War of the Ring:Can you tell us a little about general The War of the Ring gameplay?
Castillo: We are planning an epic RTS. We will allow large unit battles, but are focusing on making every unit matter. Most battles should be around 20 and 100 units, with the occasional huge battle of hundreds vs. hundreds.
The pacing will be on the faster side, with a heavy emphasis on combat and use of abilities. A resource system will be present to allow you to build units, but it will be simple so that you're not spending all your time there. You should expect a research system, tech tree, upgrades, heroes, and a whole host of surprises. |
