okay so, we know some things about the differnt fractions we can play , and some of their war units. fraction specials besides military units: will there there be any differnce in game play between fractions besides war units and building looks? i think each fraction should have a differnt way in witch they build or gather resorces ... or maybe each have their own building that other fractions wont have anything like ( something off the top of my head would be like a royal guard tent or something for persians that trains immortals and other units that are elite like them.... or a merchant tent ) ages & commands another idea would be okay i dont know about 2 many rts games besides aom and aot but i can see pretty much from screenshots and most rts this will have differnt ages right? like iron and bronze ages or soemthing like that... i dont know if other rts you get a special power like a god power in aomtt but it would be kool if you could get some kinda of power or something with each new age and it could be something historical... like lets say you going into third of 4 ages... and your celts ..it could be a command like heroic charge or cav. flank ... where some units are summoned into the game to do something and you could click some where for say 40 horse men to come charging through... maybe the units go away latter... or if you were greek or roman you could use like sige the city command or something and like sige units appear not far from where you clicked and rain down rocks or something onto the city for a mintue or something..... agian just ideas... so instead of god powers maybe special commands .. some other command ideas are... ambush - trap where you can see a outline or something and when a enemy walks by uints will appear and kill the enemy.... assassinate - target a enemy to have a assassin show up and kill the enemy unit -could be persian and could be a starting game command maybe useable more then once war hounds - summons a pack of roman war dogs or celt dogs to attack a enemy guerilla attacks - maybe like 6 Iberian horsemen show up on the right side of the place you clicked maybe a big circle thing outlining attack zone ...anyway like 6 horsemen run by and attack a few units or some buildings ... then as soon as they fade away 6 more come in form a differnt path and attack and maybe like 4 or 5 of these attacks on the area theres so many more things that could be used as a command that could fit in with each fraction online play and update: okay i was wondering ... if this is gunna be open sorce and modder friendly .... like problems with aom mods ...cant play online unless other person has it to. so how to slove this? I think that sence many mods will probley come out...pick the best add on or fraction addiction or maybe even some other update or mod.... and either use a auto patching program so people just have to hit update each month... or put them all in a file for people to put in game.... that way each month the game gets bigger and better .... new civ.s and new tuants or new textures monthly maybe it could grow like second life does user added content, but a group of people checking it for the top most fairness to the game with balance and nothing second hand compared to the rest of the game ONLINE PLAY: i was wondering how do you plan on setting up the online interface. what features do you hope on adding like a chat room .... abiltiy to pick from differnt game types ... death match supremacy , conquest , lighting, player made maps .... will there be a stat system with the online play if so there should be a clan stat system to seeing as allmost every game out there has clans. just some ideas and questions when was the last time a idea or question hurt someone forget that last part lol i can think of many MANY times they hurt some body! ...(i.e. " hey i got an idea for a nuclear bomb!" "what happend to the tapes of the water boarding?...hey! hey!! where you taking me!?! hey stop no!!!! *gulp*gulp*" lol
