Steam Clans is a concept for a post-apocalyptic steampunk survival conquest game. If it gets positive reception, I will work on it
PLOT: In the year 1870, a meteor the size of France struck the North Pole, completely vaporizing everything north of Moscow and killing 1 billion people. For ten long years after the impact, the Earth was plunged into an Ice Age. By the time it was over, there were only 50 million people left on the planet.
The meteor, however, also brought something else to Earth: Inside the meteor were massive amounts of three previously unknown substances that seemed to defy logic, and would dramatically change the course of technology:
Aeroloam, a strange solid that, when heated, released a strange gas that still hasn't been identified that is 20 times lighter than Hydrogen and not flammable at all.
Numika, a strange rock that looks like granite, however, when burned in a steam engine, produces 1,000 times more energy than coal.
Sonara, a rare blue crystal that has amazing properties: when fed energy, produces massive amounts of Oxygen.
It has been 50 years since the impact, and now, factories bellow black smoke into the atmosphere, while great airships trek across the sky, gigantic landships race across the land, and massive submarines patrol the seas.
Four clans now dominate the world: The Atlas Clan, The Katana Clan, The Ratchet Clan, and The Spearhead Clan.
GAMEPLAY: Each of the clans get a capital city with a factory capable of producing Tier 1 Landships, Airships, and Submarines, a restaurant, and a hotel. More below...
THE CLANS: Each clan has a different building style: The Atlas Clan has an European wood style, while the Katana Clan has a 20th century Asian style, the Ratchet clan has a pure steampunk style, and the Spearhead clan has a primitive mud brick style. When a city is captured, its style changes to reflect the owner. When not conquered, it has the same style as the Atlas Clan. When you join the game, you get to pick which clan you want to join.
CURRENCY: The currency used in Steam Clans are guilders. Guilders are used to build buildings, buy weapons, and buy resources. Guilders can be obtained by either finding gold deposits in the wilderness or selling resources on the market.
CITIES: Cities dot the map. In order to capture a city, you must stand near the flag and hold it for 30 seconds. Each city has a different selection of resources, which are vital to progress further into the game. If a city already has buildings on it, they must be destroyed. The list of buildings are below:
Restaurant: Restores hunger and thirst Hotel: Restores Sleep Vehicle Factory: Produces vehicles Armory: Allows access to advanced weapons Turret: For defending in the absence of defending vehicles Market: For buying and selling resources Port: Used for loading an unloading resources.
VEHICLES: The main focus of Steam Clans are the vehicles, which come in three different tiers. Tier 1 vehicles only require coal, but Tier 2 and Tier 3 vehicles require Aeroloam, Numika, or Sonara depending on the vehicle. Tier 2 and 3 vehicles are more powerful than Tier 1 vehicles, and they have more accomodations. The list is below:
Tier 1 Vehicles: War Balloon, Bathysphere, and Steam Buggy
Tier 2 Vehicles: Airship, Submarine, and Landship
Tier 3 Vehicles: Sky Fortress, Underwater Carrier, and Mobile Citadel
NEEDS: This wouldn't be a survival game without needs! There are three: Hunger, Thirst, and Sleep. These can be restored at any city with a hotel or a restaurant. They can also be restored on Tier 3 vehicles, and delayed on Tier 2 vehicles.
RESOURCES: The resources listed above can be obtained by mining them. These resources can be found in certain cities, however, unless the city you mine them is equipped to produce vehicles, you have to transport them to a city that can.
WEAPONS: As well as weapons on airships, there are also weapons you can buy for your character, divided into three categories:
Melee Weapons, which cause a lot of damage, but can only be used at close range Gatling guns, which cause a lot of damage and are quick to reload, but have poor accuracy and range Rifles, which have high range, accuracy, and damage, but they take a long time to reload.
Post any questions or suggestions you have! Thank you, -Phoniex

UPDATE:
The Katana and Spearhead clans have been renamed to the Taiyo ("Sun" in japanese) and Ahumahi ("Industrial" in Maori) clans. I also came up with each clan's full name:
The Atlas Republic
The Ratchet Corporation
The Taiyo Empire
The Ahumahi Confederacy
