Hello y'all! :D
I was recently thinking about how well received strategy games like Startcraft II or Shogun 2 are received, yet no one has created a game entirely based on politics? What about a game where the player's goal is to enslave a world and become dictator through relationships? I would implement a moral compass, trading and trickery systems and stuff. All in java.
Thoughts? |

Well, rise of nations employed an alliance/enemy/neutral system and territories, and it's imo, WAY better than starcrap.

Love the idea, but I see a flaw. I can't see this game having a very "fun" aspect, I see it rather having a "goal" aspect.
It needs to have things to keep it fun for people less interested in politics, or that have not experienced it yet.

I have sort of a political game, it's sort of a bizarre mini-stock market simulation. It definitely needs some improvements, even though I really only made it for my own entertainment, not anyone else's.

About fun:
What kind of stuff do people enjoy? It wouldn't be entirely revolving around politics, also control of armies and economical management. :) |

Competition is a good one. To be the best against other players. So a leaderboard would be good....
CutScenes would be good, badges, things to buy.
Very often, people like to Brag. So, if you can give them that, it should be easy.

| Personally, I think people would enjoy games with money and power. Games where you can get rich and powerful seem to be the most fun for me. |

"I would implement a moral compass, trading and trickery systems and stuff"
I don't see how that turns into a real game - at least not a cohesive one. How does a player gain power? What strategies (this is plural intentionally) can be employed? What does the player need to overcome? |

@Varp:
Well if you do a lot of bad things like slaughtering a country then other people who are more powerful than you would point that out and deny agreements. It would also raise the hostility of other people towards you increasing the chances of getting attacked. |

Would it be text based? If it's just politics, I don't see how you can really implement graphics into that.

@musty:
I've started it with a 3D hexagon system, kind of like settlers of Catan. The graphics are important so you can view the world map and see what you control. |
