BFME lacks tactics on an extreme note, Heroes aside it's all about getting more troops than your opponent. They tried to get some tactics with unit weaknesses and strengths, but it could have been developed better.
Well, actually, I think they perfected the system presented in the "age of..." games (pikeman beat rider, rider beat archer, archer beat pikeman) to an extreme level. Any unit that can be defeated by another unit has absolutely no chance of not being defeated (except fleeing).

Yeah its the same in BFME.
Try going cavalry vs pikemen, and you'll basically lose all your cavalry without killing more than one.
It's a joke, this is a war, not rock paper scissors.
I think its
Swordsmen > Pikemen
Pikemen > Cavalry
Cavalry > Archers
Archers > Swordsmen
And william has the vitruvian man as his high leveled opponent

Are you saying that if you had 1000 men on horses with swords, with one purpose to kill 10 men with spears, the 10 men would win, just because the Spearmen are Rock and the cavalry are Scissors?
What I would love is a rendition of one of those console RPGs, like Chrono Trigger or something, Finaly Fantasy, but the newer versions I guess like Baldurs gate, but where you get to choose what happens.
In all these games the only thing you choose is what your guys name is and what weapon he uses. In Baldurs gate you get to choose your portrait too, but that's beside the point. How about one where you get to make a character, build his appearance, and choose what you want to do. There's not just one main quest, but two or three paths you can choose, or not choose any, and just do whatever you like.
Kinda like oblivion, but not first person, isoteric view kinda, and a focus on character creation and building, and plotline, rather than attribute numbers and weapons which don't even show up on your character on the screen.
Another one I'd like is a good gladiator/arena type game. It doesn't matter what the objective is (kill the other team, whatever) but the main fun is picking your team, hiring them, meeting new potential teammates, upgrading original ones, earning money in matches (kind of like a sport) and getting the trophy in the end, kind of like in the single player of UT2004.
I hate this other game which was like deathzone or someting where you threw this metal frisby thing to kill the opponents but it was a sport where you can score and that's where I got the idea from, becuase you can choose to hire new teammates and you have like a team name.
Then if you want you could switch control between the players while giving commands to the ones you aren't controlling, in real time.
That'd be mad.

Tital of Game: TimeTravel (stil thinking up a more suitable name though)
A simple idea really.
A game with time travel involved.
The main concept/idea of this game would be this:
You are in the present, about to die by the mafia, as they are closing in on you, when you run to an abandoned warehouse, where you find a Time Machine.
You hop in it, as the Mafia close in on you, you accidently press a switch and you hop forward in time.
When you hop back out of it, you see you are in a deserted warehouse, the same one, but with no roof, the sky is blood red, there are 2 suns and there are hover cars driving which you can see in the air.
The entire Earth has gone futuristic, and it is highly advanced, or so it seems.
You walk into the streets to find people that "seem" normal walking past you, with eyes that glow red, and increased head size, and are much smaller in height.
As you do not really know what is going on, you go to the local gun store, only to find that a murder has taken place, and eventually as the story unfolds, the person that died was you're son, and that you are actually supposed to be dead, because on that night you hid from the Mafia they found you and killed you.
You have to find a way to change the future, and change what happened that night to prevent the death of yourself, otherwise you will have never existed.
You must get guns, and hunt down the Mafia people that tried hunting you down, although they are old they still live.
You must kill them before they kill you, to keep yourself alive in the past, and prevent you from dying.
You will be able to use advanced guns such as Lasers, and all of that.
You will also be able to collect shields that strap onto you're body and give you enhanced Defense from bullets.
The main objective of the game is this:
Kill the Mafia people in the Future, so they wouldn't have existed in the past.
This is just a rough copy of the idea, it will be edited later on when I have given this way more thought, but I hope it makes a little sense, although it kinda seems complicated, it isnt that bad I hope
EDIT:
Here is the same idea but with a more detailed idea, just for easier viewing  .
Enjoy
Game name: Still undecided
Story:
The year is 2078, and you are a soldier in the army, when under seige you get a grenade thrown at you.
In a frantic struggle to pick it up and throw it away from you, you are to slow and it blows up.
You think you are dead, but then wake up in the middle of a warehouse.
You take a look outside, and start walking outside, when people run away from you because you have all of your futuristic gear on you.
This continues until someone spots you and calls the police.
You have to outrun the police, while trying to find a way back into your own time so that you may still be in that war, otherwise you would have never existed.
The time that you are in is actually the year 1976.
Ideas for this game:
Youwould have furtureristic bodyarmour, aswell as increased health, seeing as though you are from the future, ythe human race would have evolved slightly, and the futuristic human race would be harder to kill then the past human race.
You would have your futuristic guns, they would have unlimited ammo, but one is a laser pistol, and the other is a heavy shotgun, which takes around 10 seconds waiting time after each shot, although it is very very powerful the wait can be it's downfall.
You would also be slightly faster than the people in 1976, and would be able to outrun them slightly easier.
Ofcourse a game like this would not be good without being able to drive any of the cars, and that is exactly what you can do.
You can steal people's cars, test drive them, or simply use them to kill or get away from the people chasing you, might be cops, or gang members or just angry pedestrains wanting you dead.
You can steal anything from motorcycles, to normal everyday cars, to massive trucks, which you can all use to get away from the people chasing you.
You would be able to shoot out from the cars, and 3 views would be avaliable while driving the cars.
The behind view, which is most common in driving games.
The In-Car view, which is ofcourse a view from inside the car, and a view of In-Car with a rear view mirror on the top of the screen, just so you can see what is behind you and if anything is chasing you and all that.
The game, when you are out of the car, would be either FP view or from behind view, you could choose any that would suit your style of game.
When in fights or gunfights, sometimes the game could go in slow motion, perhaps when you shoot a gun of your's, it would track the bullet and see exactly where it hits the enemy.
The game would be realistic in certain ways, and unrealisitc in the way of time travel.
The game would be graphic and most likely contain alot of gorey scenes perhaps when you shoot someone in the head, it would show you all the brain matter that would come out and all that.
The games cinematics would be usijng the same graphics that the normal game uses, not some certain video graphics but the same, just so it is all the same and you can pick up the things and exactly what is going on in the game.
When you kill someone or something really good happens, you could see the replay of it, replay length would range from 5 to 10 minutes, and would possibly store it onto the hardrive of whatever the game is installed on, xbox or PC.
You would be able to pick up only one weapon that drops from your enemies, just one, may that be a normal police pistol, or a minigun it is your choice entirely.
The driving mode would use realistic crashes and all that, so it looks much better and realistic, obviously
This game's main theme or objective would be to survive, and get back into your own time again so you can finish off the war that you were in when you came back in time, and you must survive otherwise you would never have existed.
