So this thought totally came out from nowhere. MOBA styled fights, Faction vs Faction. Perhaps becoming your own Faction, sending out soldiers against other Factions. Warfare! :D Anyways, I'm ambivalent (other form of "idrc") to the idea and curious what others feel (I really like the DOTA level in Warcraft 3: TFT with Pandaren, the Blood Elf and the Naga), top-down isometric really works so well for the LoL/Dota stuff.
There could be a dungeon that just pumps out goblins at you, and you have to fight your way forward (minor, weak creatures, at a point when your team/party is stronger~higher level). Similarly, taking the idea, fighting a blizzard that blows you away unless you "do something" to press forward. With objective experience, you'd get the experience at the end of (When Goblin King = Slain). Thoughts?
