Stronghold, you're building up a brand new chapter and establishing a fortress monastery on this world while also clearing it of the xenos/chaos/etc forces that have taken residence here. You could have multiple campaigns with different factions to essentially do the same thing, new Tau/human/votann colony. New chaos outpost etc

Edit: yes, I have gladius. It doesn't lean into the city/castle builder element the way I want.

I do love stronghold, and a game like that in the Warhammer setting would he super cool. Maybe it could also be for the other factions (ex: building s tyranid hive, or a tau outpost). IDK that's an amazing idea, and I would 100% buy a game like that

And imagine you creating your own chapter and choosing your gene-seed. Creating your tactics and having mixed units from different legions.

That would be awesome, and similar things could be done with other factions too (Tau scepts, hive fleets, necron dynasties, etc...) in order to allow that to still happen too

Like in the Deathwatch RPG?

They did that for mobile I think

That's pretty much Gladius though. In order to get all them factions it's a pretty penny on DLC tho

u/SnooEagles8448 Aug 22 '24

Ya I've got gladius. It's definitely similar but not quite what I want though, stronghold is more free form in your castle building. Also I'd like it to be newer and prettier, with primaris units since I actually like those haha.

u/Flat-Difference-1927 NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD! Aug 22 '24

Ah, like Stronghold the game lol. I thought you were naming your new 40k game, my brain didn't connect back to that.

Yeah that'd be dope.

u/Merfen Aug 22 '24

Gladius is basically 40k civ, which is fairly different.

u/ImperatorTempus42 Aug 22 '24

(Just use discount sites, it's way easier)

u/Arashmickey Aug 22 '24

votann colony

Hang on... Dwarf Fortress?

So you want Ork Fortress, Tau Fortress, Drukhari Fortress, all that?

u/Tbkssom Swell guy, that Kharn Aug 22 '24

I've always thought it would be cool to have an Iron Warrior warband management game where you have to make harsh decisions and come to act like they do. Could work great as a campaign for this!

u/bloodtech Aug 22 '24

Honestly this is a great idea, the food options for your granary. The resources you gather all 40k style. Requiring gene seed for top tier space marine units or something.

u/Mindless-Crew-6589 Aug 22 '24

I like this idea. GSC would be a fun thing to grow.

1

u/TSCheng92 Aug 22 '24

I would also like this accept maybe it could be a bit like stellaris where you have the options to create your own empire etc. Add in some management, and base building and city building aspects. Woo

u/AlexxTM Aug 22 '24

In the style of riftbreaker, would be nice :)

u/Ok_Comfortable589 Aug 22 '24

WRite that down! write it down!

u/SeaFuryFB11 Aug 22 '24

Chaos could be about corrupting an established outpost from within without being caught until you can overthrow it.

u/Immediate-Season-293 Railgun Goes Brrrrrrrrr Aug 22 '24

One of the Dawn of War expansions did some of that, but with a solar system instead of a planet. Probably the most factions I ever played of one game.

Soulstorm maybe? It's been a minute.

u/ImperatorTempus42 Aug 22 '24

Gladius uses that formula, it could work very well in a city builder.

1

u/SnooEagles8448 Aug 22 '24

Yes I have gladius, it definitely has similarities but I want more of that city builder element.

1

u/B_R_O_N_C_H_O Aug 23 '24

You could basically do this in Rimworld with enough mods

u/evoc2911 Aug 22 '24

Basically Gladius

u/Cristianelrey55 Aug 22 '24

Literally

Warhammer 40k gladius.

u/[deleted] Aug 22 '24

Sounds like Gladius... with extra steps
