Imagine a turn-based strategy game where everything is customizable down to the pixel: units, buildings, vehicles, maps, everything. That's '''''Picture Wars'''''. One person posts a picture of the area that the combat will be in, another posts the same picture but with his units added in. On his next turn he just posts the picture again but with his units in different places, and so on. Because of this, basically anything is possible as long as it is fair. This results in several tons of awesome.
Sometimes this is used as a generic forum game, but it has [https://web.archive.org/web/20220724002919/http://picturewars.net/forum/index.php its own forum].
There are also several variants on this, known as Modded Matches.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Arbitrary Gun Power]] (Averted. Most infantry die from a single hit to the chest or head, and anywhere else will basically make them useless in combat.)
* [[Ass Pull]]
Line 17:
* [[Cosmetically Different Sides]] ([[Take That|Ahahahahahaha]] But seriously, most armies are vastly different, which leads to some major balancing problems.)
** There's also the Colors gamemode, where two sides of exactly the same soldiers fight eachother, normally over a [[Capture the Flag|flag.]]
* [[
** Also true of the now-dead Immortal Empires gamemode. Every side seemed to have their own individual color scheme, with he majority of evil cults gravitating towards saturated colors while the good cults would often be much brighter.
* [[Construct Additional Pylons]] (Occasionally averted, but a lot of armies build their bases right then and there.)
Line 40:
* [[Obligatory War Crime Scene]] (Captured units do not generally get away easy. Seen in the match where blunderbuss wielding Skeletons massacre lesser equipped frogs and in another where an OTS officer executes a tied up Anhurian prisoner on his knees.)
▲Tropes relating to specific armies:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] (Trios Enterprises. They eat planets for resources, kill any competitors with their extensive military, and reverse-engineer alien technology for profit.)
** They are also attacking a mine held by an enemy empire, to steal their wealth.

** REMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVEREMOVE
* [[Time Police]] (The as-of-yet seen in action Time Police, who violently deal with time travel and changing the future/past in general. Unless it was destined for the time traveler to change the timeline, in which case they'll let it slide. The Travelers were not destined to do so, and are currently warring with them.)
* [[Time Travel]] (The Travelers, a race of time traveling aliens from the future who are out there in the past to avert the apocalypse. Given their xenophobia though, it's unlikely they're in it for anyone besides themselves, which in some cases leads to lots of carnage.)
* [[The War of Earthly Aggression]] (Most notably the match Worlds War One.)
