Forget MMOs; I want a turn-based strategy game with Runeterran factions

This is not a developed idea.

But watching Rioters (mostly Scathlocke) talk about Noxian diplomatic strategies in this thread made me think about how fun it would be to play a game as Noxus. It might be equally fun to play as Shurima, Demacia, or Freljord, but obviously each faction would have different victory conditions.

I'm thinking a cross between civilization and heroes of might & magic, set in Runeterra. Anyone think that could be as cool as it is in my head?

Something like Battle for Middle-Earth but in League lore? Yes pls. I thought of that before but I also thought I was the only one.

I doubt you're the only one. I'd actually be kind of surprised if someone hadn't suggested a similar idea on the Boards before. That doesn't mean we can't have another thread about it, though :P

You meant the RTS or the turn based mode?

Id actually think of it as a "Total War" with a "Battle for Wesnoth" turn-based battle system. That would be nice.

Well, RIOT is working on a new game, we can always hope...

Playing as factions and subfactions with unit battalions, magic/technology trees, champion/leader specializations and a fleshed-out political system would be interesting.

Runeterra : Total war

Oohhhh.... See, this is why we talk about things on forums, because sometimes, someone comes along, takes your original idea, and makes it 1000% better.

Yes. This. Do it Rito.

Total War: Runeterra would be dope.

Imagine a partnership with CA for a Total War game set in Runeterra.

Could be a Hearthstone type game with Champions in the game being 'legendaries' (specially strong characters), you could buff each thing you play with items like 'dorans blade' etc. Would be easy to make imo. You could even add summoners. Barrier is gain 5 health points or smting.

Please not like hearthstone. That game is the worst attempt at a card game ever released.

VermillionWolfAug 11, 20181 votes

Fair enough, I don't play it anymore either but it was the first idea to come to mind xd

Automated RivenAug 11, 20181 votes

I would be ok with this, or a standard RTS with asymmetrical races based on the nations of league.

Given how much I hate Risk and how little I've cared about turn-based overhead games where your units are 2x2 pixels wide, I couldn't hate the idea more if it meant throwing away an MMO where you can create a character, explore the world and live adventures. It's not even close for me.

I thought of open world type like elder scrolls but in the league universe. The characters you would play are all from whatever faction. You can use any of the items from league but they would be actual swords, that you have to use.

Card game! Card game! Card game! Yeyyyyy *puts hands in the air

I saw an idea elsewhere about an Age of Empires style game but with Runeterran factions/geography etc, and I really like that!

The issue imo is that Rito has to distinguish their game and make it an original concept or risk legal/fan retaliation ("This is just a knockoff of insert your favorite older game here!!!!")
