RTS Game Idea I had - Civil Race

[Ghostly_Substance]

Not trying to copy Spores (If Spores has this then let me know and I will fix my idea to not relate to spores).

 

Briefly:

Well i've been thinking of an RTS where you can watch your race grow and turn into a faction. Maybe dominate the world or galaxy even in real time even when your not there. When you log in you can see a log of what your race accomplished or failed at. You could help them out and gain traits for your character when helping out your race. You could even control the people to advance your race even more or less. Ok more details below.

 

Description:

Ok here hows it would work. You choose a race skin or mod one in with a textured skin. Name the race and then choose a planet or make a planet up such as a custom map (civ 4 style) and name the planet. Screen loads with that planet and you have the option of controlling the race leader or watch the AI advance itself and interferring later. When you think its time to go you can just exit the game without saving and your race will keep on living (since it will be hosted on a server). Your race would keep on advancing randomly inventing something (staying of course realistic until a certain timeframe). If your race invents an airport it would show them building the airport in realtime and keeping it practical also since you dont want to see them build and airport for 4 real years so lets say 4 straight days at first then get better at it so it would be 1 hour after a certain time. If your planet is destroyed but your race is alive they try and flee to another planet where there are friendly people.

 

Ok so briefly again so you can catch up to my thoughts:

Chose a race skin then name the race. Then choose the planet and name it. Your people will then be randomly placed on the planet (even in water or fire since they will be alien races)

Choose if your race will play online or offline or only be shown by your friends who would be friends or enemies.

The Galaxy would keep updating itself with new units/buildings/research/items/rituals/religion/AI enhancements to race every once in awhile

Custom Planet slots will be machine placed on the map and will keep moving outwards in a rectangle shape while the pre-made planets will be there but have "instances" where your race could be placed. If you want to join a certain race's orbit around the planet and then in you have to type in the name and password (for cheating reasons).

If one race wants to join with another they can and have a choice of only having 2 planets being on.

 

edited message:

Everything will be realtime on a server that you can donate to that will keep the servers up and let your race advance the way you want it. OR there could be a singleplayer mode where your AI will keep learning while your computer is running/game playing.

 

Well any thoughts? This might never happen but I want to perfect it before I leave this to be picken up by some random company(hopefully good one).

 

Military Idea will be in next post

[CommandoGamer]

Not bad, in fact i liked it the idea

keep it up with the ideas

Well for the military part

 

Ok so you will start off with a squad of military units and 10 groups of family members that will grow into a civilization like earth is right now and further. Only way you can control the military units is if your in power of mayor or been elected to be the governer and turn yourself into a dictator (You control the military in space but on land you have to have power/respect to control military, if your dictator nothing can throw you out unless your defeated by an assasin or military group).

 

You build military units if you have the cash and if the people want to work in factories and people want to fight. As long as people see a good cause to fight they will fight and if they dont they will stay in camps or their homes/cities. So you cant simply go out and cause a war since the rank below you in military will disobey and mass riots in cities. But when you do cause a war it will be a normal RTS command. You can make a meusum with old units if you want to since after all your race needs to learn from its past

 

Thoughts correction?

I got one, when you start you place your village where you want. ok anybody got thoughts ideas ? Correction?

[Stellar_Magic]

Guess what, you were right... Spores will probably have this.

[Ghostly_Substance]

I was afraid of that but o well. Only thing I wanted was Civilization real time AI learning

Like the one you had on Civ4? Yeah Spore may be like that, but we'll see. Keep coming up with ideas Ghostly! You could be the next computer game genius or something.
