What would you like to see in a 2D strategy game like Age of Empires, Civilization, Reign and Conquer, Stronghold, etc?
Note: When thinking of this, don't take into account any Roblox limitations at all -- just pretend it's not for Roblox, but rather a real game because I'll get more ideas that way.
Basically, this game will be based off of Age of Empires II and I because I had a lot of fun playing those. I didn't really like the tech tree idea from Civ and RaC a lot, so I won't be adding that(Note that this will be from a bird's eye view). Here's a list of wills and will not's
Will:
Dark age(nothing) to the highest age being right before guns were invented
Voiced AI sounds(Read more on soundpacks at the bottom)
HQ Textures/Sprites
Multiplayer(duh, it's Roblox)
Night/Day
HQ Music and realistic sound effects(Soundpack)
CPUs
Realtime(No turns)
Buildings
Heroes(Main character)
Hostile animals, bandits, etc
Nautical warfare as well as ground
Will not:
Guns, Vehicles, etc
Free models
Turn based
Maybe:
Mythological creatures
Different worlds
"YOU SAID CUSTOM SOUNDS, OMG DID ROBLOX ADD THOSE YET?"
I will be making a sound pack that will be available for download via my YouTube channel. It will not be required, but if you want to, then you can. It'll have voiced AI speaking, realistic sounds, music, etc. If I have trouble getting HQ textures uploaded to Roblox, I'll also make a texturepack as well.
If you want to volunteer, here are the requirements/what I need help with
(In order to help at all you'll need a Skype and a Mic)
-Programmers(I'll check out some of your scripts to see if you're advanced enough)
-Sprite/Texture artists(I'll need to see some of your work)
-Musician(Same as the above)
Voice Actor(Need a high-quality mic and an appropriate voice -- no squeaky wabbits!)
Voice Actors and Musician's work will be put into the soundpacks
Sprite/Texture artists work will be in a texturepack if I can't upload them to Roblox properly
EVERYONE who helps will be in the credits
PM me if you'd like to help, otherwise post your comments,concerns, and suggestions below. Thanks for reading :)

I don't think the myth fits in very well. Along with the worlds with it. |

Oh hey bro, good to see you again. Missed you working on your metroid game..
Oh well.. Nice idea. |
|
|
Adding a few guns deepening on how you plan on shaping the game could be quite an improvement. And who really cares about free models? as long as people enjoy the game why complain about them? |

Deepening*
-Keyboard.... -.-

will there be a difference between ranged and melee weapons? |
|
|

@Fargey: Ok, I'll take note of that when I'm making it
@Guest: Eh, Metroid really wouldn't work out too well even with local parts just to some of the restrictions we have on roblox(i.e. no user meshes) I just got an idea though -- I could make a mesh pack for Metroid, I don't know though.
@Mag: The game is supposed to be medieval based, so guns would ruin the theme(however, there will be things like cannons)
@Ordinary: Yes, there will be a difference between ranged and melee weapons. There may be some combinations like a throwable axe, but other than that, ranged can only attack from afar, and melee can only attack close-ranged.
Thanks for all of your suggestions :) |

@Guest: Yes

it would be interesting to add mythological creatures such as dragons, trolls, griffins, dwarves, elves, orcs ,goblins, centaurs, minotaurs, fauns, satyrs, chupacabras, yetis, sasquatches, etc..- each mythological creature can be a class in itself with certain abilities, certain powers, etc. |
|
|
@ordinary: Ok, I'll see what I can do(even though there's a tie between yes-mythology and no-mythology) |

I like that you are thinking of creating a 2d game.
I have no ideas though. Sorry. .-. |

Maybe Warcraft III mechanics. Or something more simple like ### ####### Civilizations VI |
