This is an idea for a Lua script and Gamemode that I thought of while messing around with spacebuild and Npc controller..
Basically, the player(s) would have access to a mini-map / satellite map, from where the player would be able to direct his NPCs, squads of NPCs, even armies of NPCs. I know a mini-map is possible to make, sort of like seen in the MW2 Killstreak mod. Then with an advanced form for npc controller you'd be able to direct your armies.
Furthermore, you could add a "Battle Node" (crystal, flag, smoke) to a location, and then your army would head for that point.
You could combine this with a gamemode/another lua script, where players would fight against each other, control "Points", hold grounds, complete objectives. You could make a lot of awesome maps related to this.
If only NPCs could stand inside moving parts, you could also fly your armies around in huge spaceships or whatever you please.
I know next to nothing about lua, but I would guess this is some larger project. I just find the idea really awesome and I'm sure if made, a server or two would pick it up. (Ideally, max 6-10 players would fight each other)
