Blood idea

[inff]

Hi
Single dead bodies means a lot of coding problems but look a this idea.
Its very simple to add to game code:

concept art


When soldier/s is/are killed engine add to terrian a blood texture. It should work just like shell holes code.

concept arts:



Size should depend on how many dead bodies are on hex:



what do you think?

Good idea but this blood is too bloody the game looks like a (moratal combat or Doom) clean death bodies should be better.

Forget the "Blood" idea folks. It's never, ever going to happen in this game

Words fail me................
and not in a good way

I don't like it, If I want to see gore, I'll go play something like F.E.A.R.

And I'd think at the game scale you would not see blood on the ground.

I saw some combat leader screenshots, it looks like their experimenting with dead bodies being left on the battelfeild. But their not gore like these. It just looks like their men lying down on the ground.

I think it just makes for a less realistic looking battlefield.

That concept isn't a very good one.

However, there is a way you could depict infantry kills in WinSP.

Handle it the way the Combat Mission Series does; for every infantry unit, e.g. squad, AT rifle section, killed, insert one body on the battlefield.

Does anyone remember Civil War Generals 2? They had dead bodies on the battlefield after a unit had taken some particularly heavy casualties:

gents,

please keep this game as abstract as it's
always meant to be, will ya?

anyone longing for gore and corpses, bugger
off to where the real bullets are flying.
no offense meant - but this is disgusting.

cheers
