The official Tactica Online website carries a new developer journal, this one from their Lead Artist on the topic of squad building.
Unlike most online RPGs, Tactica Online allows you to control a group of characters, rather than a single avatar. It might help to think of yourself as the commander of a squad, rather than as one of the characters. The squads and, more specifically, the skills of squad members are also comparable to a player crafted deck of cards in games such as Magic: The Gathering. The most successful squads are built around a few central skills and combinations of skills, which are determined by the player's plan of attack. This allows for a lot of variety in strategies and makes squad creation a vital part of any player's game plan. |
You can check out the full journal on their site.
