How about an FPS/Adventure game back in the ancient or middle ages (with or without Myth)?
You can play as a soldier sent to battle by your general and fight along side other units, controlable by comp or other people. The same can apply for the opponent's army.
It can work a bit like a squad game such as RainbowSix only way waaayyyy more massive in scale. You can lead your human player team, or lead a different team of comp controlled units. All human players can lead squads of comp controlled units into battles.
Meaning instead of the old omnicent view, you'd be in the thick of battle, never knowing when an enemy Cataphract can come from behind whack you dead, or get killed by an Composite Bowman's arrow. Lead a group of swordsmen into an occupied enemy building clear out the enemy and capture it. Or if an enemy priest unit tries to convert you... and your playing as an archer unit... put an arrow inside his head. How cool would an AOE/AOK/AOM but FPS game like this be? Playing AS the units we send into big battles in these ES games. And we can play as ALL of the units.... except Villagers of course. There can even be game types which its your job to protect the vills gathering resources from enemy raids. Call it= You also select different eras to play in. Also to make things even more interesting, how about commanding ships? Leading your Trireme or Kenibet against the enemy Longboats and Jung-Gorls. Or even command a small fleet from your civilization's flagship. [This message has been edited by Seqenenre Tao (edited 05-23-2003 @ 04:56 PM).]
