These are semi random thoughts I just had for a tiny strat game idea.
I don't know if it will go anywhere but here goes. Don't worry if something doesn't quite make sense as I am typing as I think of it.



Make the floor an un-walkable surface. Have events on the floor that have multiple pages. Give the party an item that if it is in inventory, the graphics for the floor are invisible walkable tiles. If there are none in inventory turn off the graphic so no one can move.

If no one can move the enemy can move or use a magic attack. The enemy moves are counted with a separate item. All the items are non drop-able so you can't cheat and get rid of enemy movements.

Attacks are also counted by an item. If you choose to attack, its taken away. then the turn is over.

Next turn you receive new movement and attack items.


I need to re-order the pages so the conditions can be checked in the proper order

I think that a strategy game is possible on RM1, but more like a puzzle game, where you have to keep playing in order to find the "correct" path through the round.
