making tbs NEED HELP!!

[vendroid]

I'm making a tbs (turn based strategy) one of those games where there is units and you send them in to destroy the enemies base but i have no idea how to ????????

[TSO]

This like a chess board TBS or top down?...
Maybe some more information about what you need to know would be good.
You have rules and designs made?

Can you script?
Maybe put together a simple picture on how the game would look?

[vendroid]

its like a side view kind of one and i have all the ideas, units and maps written on paper

[TSO]

Side view eh? Unheard of for me. RPGs usually do that at most.
Excluding Exile I guess.

Well check out the tutorials page and maybe demo's page for a start and most common designs GE is used for.

http://game-editor.com/Demos

GE also has a couple tutorials built in that are alright.
If you need help with something more specific feel free to continue posting here.
Helps to set up a main post like other games that are being designed around here.

Plenty of this type although only tbs one I know is castle wars and that is more of a card game.

What system would the game be meant for? Computer, mobilePC? iPhone?

Consider what resolution you'd want the game at.
Members in forum chat could suggest what resolution is best for what ever system your game will be on.
Refine your game design ideas and rules.
Figure out how people would play it and how it would look to them.

Then you can start gathering pieces to make a prototype game.

A background picture to fit the resolution.
It doesn't have to be fancy. Should just use place holder pictures to start.
Get a picture to represent your soldiers. Can be simple stick person like my example shows.
A picture for your castles/bases.

And you should have the first building blocks for your game ready to put into GE then. =)

Do some of GE's tutorials on how it works.
Once you can get some normal actors for Background,soldier, castle1 and 2. Come back for w/e info you need on turning your actors into your pictures and making them do w/e is needed. =)

Hope this helps get started.
Once again many game editor site/forum tutorials can be applied to the things your game will need to get started.
