You’ve spent hours layering sound, but have you ever mapped those layers to a battlefield? I’ve been thinking about how a precise rhythmic structure could guide movement, keep units tight, and even signal changes in strategy. What do you think?
Lyraen
I’ve heard that idea before—rhythm can be a kind of invisible command line, but in the heat of a fight it needs to be simple, unmistakable, not a wall of texture that gets lost in the chaos. If you strip a beat down to a clear pulse, it could really keep the squad tight, but you’ve got to be ready to cut the layers whenever the enemy changes the beat. If you can keep that balance, I think it could work.
Kabal
Good point. A single, steady pulse will cut through the noise and keep everyone aligned. The trick is to maintain that pulse while having a secondary cue ready for a sudden shift. If the rhythm breaks, the squad must know instantly what to switch to. That’s the only way it can stay effective on the front line.
Lyraen
Yeah, that’s the sweet spot—one clean pulse that everyone can hear over the clamor, and a second, almost like a sub‑beat that flips when the situation changes. If the main groove snaps, the sub‑beat jumps in immediately, signalling the shift. It’s like having a bass line that never stops, with a high‑hat that cues the next move. That way, even in the noise, the squad stays in time.

That’s a solid framework. Keep the main beat tight, the sub‑beat ready, and make sure every squad member knows which cue to trust when the rhythm changes. It’ll keep the unit moving as one.
