This is my second serious campaign featuring Turn-Based battle system next to my previous completed campaign, Tactics Unleashed : Prologue. But the difference of this game is it will be a large scale battle like an AOS rather than only controlling 3 heroes.

It has no story yet, I'm trigger happy for the moment. But it will be like a kingdom versus kingdom story.

Features will be...
You will command 3 Heroes, one is William. And each with 3 slots of army. Your goal is to defeat all hostile enemies. (well, incomplete story yet but i'll update as soon as i've made more.)
A Turn Based battle system. (If you've played Tactics Unleashed, then you will have a clue.)
Upgradeable Army. (Through time, you can upgrade your army to be more powerful, but to a cost of gold. Ex:gnoll to gnoll brute)

What is needed?
Well anyway, I would like some help on anybody who can make eye candy spells from all the spells i've made. (I'm not good at this, really.)
I also need some modelers, skinners and animators.
An idea and concept guy too will be a lot of help.
I will do the rest. (But you can apply there too. Although it's not needed.)

To give a clue for the spell maker, I'll list all the skills of one of the heroes.

Paladin
A heavily armored warrior which can heal and buff his comrades and summon the holy powers of light to aid him.

After I've made up the story, I will think making this an open RPG.

Well that's it. If you want some clues on how the battles may turn refer to this link : Tactics Unleashed : Prologue

Heh, Flad, is this suitable enough?

Ok, the story that i've planned so far is this...

Autumn, Year 990. King's Castle, Southern plains of the Linerune Kingdom.

King Haggar, the faithful king of Linerune was assasinated during his sleep by a stealthy and powerful ninja from the north. The next day, the soldiers have found their dead king and immediately told his advisors about it.

"Gilneas did it!" Vilmar, the primary advisor of the king said.
"Yeah, that King Gilneas had planned on conquering our city's walls but he never dared to do it." another advisor said.
"But now, he did! He knew we were more powerful than his kingdom."
"Then we will declare war!" Vilmar said.
"So how did you come to a conclusion of war?" Princess Minea, daughter of King Haggar interrupted.
Vilmar walked to her and said. "Princess, have you no consideration for the death of your father? I know he will do the same thing let's say if he is alive."
"Father will not come for that decision very fast."
"Princess, I think you don't know what I'm talking. Blandrun soldiers had been seen patrolling around our border. They are also hostile to our scouts. But the king stood lame for those actions. Even though it's obvious they wanted war."
"But..."
"Princess, this is the soldiers' work now. Please support us. They will need you." Vilmar walked away.
"William.." Minea whispered as she went outside.

Meanwhile, at the King's castle, Blandrun Kingdom.

"My king, we have recieved reports from our scouts about some hostile monsters staying on the forest." a soldier said while King Gilneas was talking with Zoluman, a white wizard and the primary advisor of the king. Prince William is sitting at the side.
"The Roots should have been removed from its place." Zoluman said.
"Hmm... some powerful monsters have been seen to exist few weeks before. Maybe the Roots were not too powerful to control the mobs." King Gilneas said.
"Sir, what do you think we should do?"
"Let me do it." William interrupted.
"William?" King Gilneas was surprised.
"It's my chance to get well better in using my skills too."
"My King, I am also pleading that you let him go. You knew I was his trainer since he was a kid. I wanted to know how he will do." Zoluman said to the king.
"Hmm.. ok I'll let you do it. But, be careful. My son."
"I will, Father."

William, together with some of the King's men went to the forest...

Here ends the intro.. hope it's good enough. some criticisms?

Here ends. Some criticisms?

Hmmm, this system seems a lot like an XBox game I play, its called Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaiders. I thought about doing something like this but ditched the idea. Sounds like a neat idea.

EDIT: The only acception that I can see that is different from this system to the XBox game is that its not turn based.

EDIT
these will be the armies which will be available for the hero's recruit.

Gnoll - A fierce balanced warrior. He can deal good damage while stand in the battle for quite some time.

Troll - An assassin which likes to deal damage from afar. Has a very high amount of damage but can't withstand battle for a long time.

Golem - A tough and beastlike warrior which can take incredible amount of punishment. He's too slow and has weak attack though.

Mage - Magicians from the army volunteered to help the prince from his journey. Weak and fragile but has a good school of magics.

Kobold - A creature who likes to build structures and platforms he is. He can support the army with his towers and walls. These towers however will have their own AI.

Dragon - A strong flying creature. Moderate damage and moves very fast. However, he dies fast from range attacks.

Nether Dragon - A magical flying creature which holds a vault of arcane powers. Weak and fragile though and does not move too fast as the Dragon.

more to go...
