Malakas, what is this vampire_pilot up to again.... here's the W.I.P. of his new pet project.
In 2006
Ubisoft first published
IL-2 Sturmovik. In 2018
Ubisoft published
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.....
in 2019 coming to a B.A.T. installation near you:
A legendary B.A.T. Adventure!
This is going to be an experiment.
It will be an unusual campaign as it is set around 410 BC in a fictional steam punky version of the Peleponnesian War.
Sparta and Athens are entangled in a war all over and around the Greek world. It is not a conflict with strict frontlines but a struggle for power and regional allegiances of the city states, with small and large, but mostly local, battles.
Pirates and Bandits are looking for loot while the Superpowers are occupied with each other. Mercenaries, called
Misthios, are offering their talents to the highest bidders on either side on land and at sea – and now in the air as well!
Start your adventure on the small, unimportant island of Kefalonia and embark on a big aerial adventure ….
Become the
misthios of the airways, the legendary
Kefalonian Eagle!
You will get to fly a variety of aircraft in a variety of mission profiles. Recon, bombing, transport, dogfight... you will even get to drive the jeep.
There will be extensive briefing texts - currently this is forming more into an interactive novel actually, (in a way a bit similar to what xeno2x did, thanks for the motivation
)
This is of course a nod to the fantastic
Assassin's Creed: Odyssey game! But it is is not an exact reproduction, I make my own story, inspired from here and there. Some events you will encounter will be based on actual historical figures or battles, some is purely my own fantasy. I hope you will find this mix interesting.
It will take place on RedEye_jirs's great Aegean map:
I am having some fun tinkering with the scenery
Athens
The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
Here's the aircraft you start out with, The Eagle of Kefalonia:
encounter (and fly) Spartan and Athenia fighters....
I'm well into the first batch of missions already and by now I feel safe enough about getting it done so I can post a WIP and few screenies.
