I'd like to say two things about this idea and the first is that it is only an idea so dont go asking for a huge story line or exact details, and secondly, this mod would not have spells as it is based a war of the real world, not some fantasy world.
Now to the idea, as most of you should know there was the two world war's,large wars where many men and women died. I'd like to do a sieglet based around World War II for the main reason that World War I was a large war it wouldnt have enough context to it/enough weapons. In this sieglet you would be the commander of a team of new recruits at the start of the war and as you go through the sieglet you would raise you and youre teams stats to become a crack team of experts.
I have a few other ideas like instead of the range, melee and magic skills, you would have four different types of units(demolitions, recon, assault, so on ,so on). This would allow you to raise different types of units, eg. a demolitians expert who can also go on recon missions. Also, you could change the hub idea to that the hub is the masin base and the elevators(as I call them) could be planes/veichels to different mission zones which would all connect up in the end, and you get your missions from the base and then go out to the field with your team, do the mission, then head back to base.
On the team idea, you could have more than just 8 in your team of men and you select your squad before each mission by recruiting them like you do in the regular dungeon siege. This would make the player actually have to raise there squad in different ways to allow them to complete different missions.
This sieglet could be a very, very large game and it has not only single but also multiplayer capabilties. In multiplayer, instaed of being the leader you are part of the team.
I would like to say now that we could make more than just one version, you could make a version where you are on the americans, one where you on the british, one where you on the russian, and also you could then go into the other side(the axis) and have germany, italy, and so on. Now im not saying we have to do all those but one for either side could also work, so you could play allied or axis.
Now that ive said all that, all feed back i could get would be nice, as now that ive written this down here, i kind of like the idea and wouldnt mind doing it my self if i had to.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Firstly, yes it would be a total conversion. The only thing which we could use would be the nodes.
Secondly, it might/would need a large group. It could also be a small group but just take longer to make(and i mean longer). And thirdly, the force is strong in you, but you also have great fear of too much work.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
umm, not much feedback. I dont mind that much but now that played a bit of mohaa, i think it would be great to have a Omaha beach level, and also, as you walk around, you could make it so you could pick up axis/allied weapons so you can a more varied weapon selection. Example, you could have a sniper with a springfield sniper rifle and he finds a better axis sniper rifle(i cant think of one at this point).
Also, with the whole joining up thing, it wouldnt have to(if we did, it would take forever to create in the siege editor).
Ummmm, i had a third idea but i cant remeber it so i guess that doesnt matter.

This is a total conversion, then? I sense a large group is needed to make all the content needed for it...
Or maybe it's just a disturbance in the force I sense...
Firstly, yes it would be a total conversion. The only thing which we could use would be the nodes.
Secondly, it might/would need a large group. It could also be a small group but just take longer to make(and i mean longer). And thirdly, the force is strong in you, but you also have great fear of too much work.
also, before i forget, i would like to tell you now that it shall be easy to make this historicaly accurate if we want but it doesnt have to be.
