Blood idea

And that's how Democracy works...Gamers shut up...Just buy it and if you dont approve it... well then its the same price...

Hmm idea is good but let's think about "eagle sight" from above to ground (as all SP games have), I think that it's very hard even see clearly blood when 1 man is shot... Can anybody see it from 50 meter (or something like that)distance (without biloculars)? I doubt it. So I understand Andy's opinion.

Dead bodies or "funny huge blood" gives you great info on casulties.

Just imagine playing Close Combat with turned off "dead bodies", you will get confused for sure!
Or try to turn off wrecks in SP and play huge tank battle!

Its somehow eye candy and makes atmosphere of battlefield but the main huge goal is to provide you information!
Dead bodies should be censored, no blood, no guts, no gore.

In SP we have so little info about what is going on with infrantry, especially when you play huge battles in long times. Dead bodies will provide you great quick information on what was going on on ech hex, just like tank wrecks.

So I think this isnt silly or childish idea at all....

Absoloutely right because "if" there is bodies you can (like wrecks )right click on them to see who his fallen and where.

And it can have a game effect by raising up suppression of units near corps...

We should start a vote to see how many people would be for this features and after all it could be add as a selectable options from preference button for eye candy people like helm or Andy

Wish you were a developper inff

Well the vehicules are oversized in this game so why not corpses... and believe me 12 mens dead(a squad) on ground could be see at long distances

Why is it that people so want to go "overboard" with the corpses? Combat Mission did it in a nice, tasteful way; one body per squad/detachment killed.

This is supposed to be a WARGAME, not a "lets see how many people we can kill and stuff into a single hex!"

While I can understand why people would want the equivalent of a vehicle wreck for killed infantry units to "show" the flow and ebb of the battle, e.g. seeing a couple of corpses (one corpse per squad) near a ravine where a platoon was caught in a crossfire by a machine gun emplacement and wiped out; you propose things that go really overboard, with corpses, more corpses, and even more corpses everywhere!

Sometimes I wish this game was more moddable, that would make both the conservatives and the more progressive people happy.

Its tacky and has no place in the game, WinSPX is not CounterStrike.

"ZOMG! Letz make teh gamez look liek doom! LOL!" and "GTA:III had gore, y can't this game have it?" is all I'm hearing.

[Dracula]

Yep the idea of an generic corps to represent the killing of an entire squad or a sniper unit was something I had proposed in another post but with little succes...

But more corpses ar not a bad thing either

"soldiers there is only two sort of men on this beach, those who are already dead and those who will be dead soon"

It's a silly idea and (the blood) looks awfull too.
And no, you shouldn't get 'great info' on casualties either. There's already the 'gods view' that gives more info to a player than it should so every bit of FOW and uncertainty you get is a bonus and makes for a more realistic game.

And Mr Dracula, where on earth did you come up with the idea that this game is a 'democracy'? It's a FREE game done as a hobby by a couple of people who have spend a lot of time getting the game to where it is now. They're quite open to suggestions but they decide in the end. Sometimes players get their wishes, sometimes they don't. It would become you if you could accept and respect the designers decision and motivation. And not drag this on.
