Doo Eet

i dont. what would you do as a child! run around! give yourself the 'wander" ability? lulz.

More information would probably be nice

Could be a good idea if you come up with enough interesting stuff to do as a child, and if you introduce a complex evolution system where all your actions as a child will affect your stats, abilities etc later on in the game.

If the story is dynamic and the childhood is not long it is a great idea. I hope this campaign will be end at old age then.

For example in the whole campaign - Tactics Unleashed Prologue - you play as a child. It's only the prologue as the name states. There is a second campaign Tactics Unleashed Chapter 1 where the children are grown up and their story is continued.

The whole campaign is great although you play as a child. It depends on you map making skills not on the age of the main hero.

HermanTheGibbon, me like. The butterfly effect. Like if you are a nasty child and in the quest "save the ducks" and drown them instead of helping, you will become a psyco with abilitys like "torture", "suffering" and so on. Else if you save them you will become a good citizen with abilitys like "helping hand", "empathy". Yeah, anyway, like your idea.

If you ever played Black and White.....

Or Fable...

Just love B&W.. The terrain changes and everything.. Once I had a white monkey(good) but the terrain was black with fire and lava because of me(bad). :)

That gave me more ideas for you. How people reacts to you and what quest you will be given. Kinda like Might and Magic, for blood an honour, where you can choose the dark or the light path. This would be a great campaing if you laid down a lot of hours on it.
