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
