  7. Heroes of Might & Magic 5
  8. Mount & Blade
  9. Age of Mythology
  10. Age of Empire
  11. Age of Wonders
  12. Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
  13. Angband
  14. 0 A.D.
  15. Battle for Wesnoth
  16. Development:
  17. Keep the main gameplay simple, like Heroes of Might & Magic 2, but add a lot of various content to potentionally enchance the play time.
  18. Pixel art (for now), 16x16 base size, modular game engine that'll support future use of any arbituary sprite size.
  19. World overview, similar to medieval maps, except that buildings and chads will be previewed on it, similar to single trees on those maps.
  20. Certain entities trigger an event, like chad going to foe tile to go to the battle screen, or friend tile to trade or negotiate.
  21. Menus and UI system in general needs to be robust and intuitive, LMB to open, RMB to close and MMB to toggle-preview the menu.
  22. Battles happen similar to Heroes of Might & Magic, on tile based fiend, but each soldier is rendered, and they have attack formations.
  23. Gameplay:
  24. You are chad, hero of some faction, and it is your destiny to bring the glory to your race, like it is with every real chad.
  25. You can make buildings like in Age of Anything, directly on the map grid, and align them perfectly due to game being tile based.
  26. You can recruit soldiers, which start as mere peasants, like in Mount & Blade, and they progress by equipping themselves and killing foes.
  27. You can trade in your own village or city, make trading routes with other factions, loot other villages or explore ancient ruins.
  28. --
  29. Each building can have potential menu when you "enter" it, to buy, sell, craft, explore, negotiate, view, etc. something.
  30. Each soldier in your army have his own equipment, and the amount of soldiers you have depends on your population and leadership skills.
  31. Each menu has sub-menus, if needed, and description of what something does, this may potentially replace making a tutorial.
  32. Each map is connected to one or more other maps, which is the world, and you can access different parts with portals, routes or docks.
  33. More documentation to come...
