So, I've noticed that many people go to great lengths to make mods which are as historically accurate as possible. This is, of course, fine. However, given the proliferation of the 'strict accuracy' school of modding, it seems like the good fantasy/'fun' mods (Like Blue Lotus, Conan Total War) are very much in the minority.
So, while I personally have no real modding skills besides some writing ability, I do fancy myself something of an ideas man.
The basic premise is thus:
Depict several empires at the height of their power. Lets say, Rome, Egypt, Persia, Sparta, Athens, that sort of wossname. Give them plenty of good units to mess around with (a couple types of legions for the Romans, skip the Republican stuff. I think everybody's sick of having to go through messing about with hastatii by now :P), chariots and the like. Don't get too much into the fantasy, no dragons or Persian Samurai-Immortals.
Maybe throw in some barbarian factions, and perhaps, just for fun, some medievalish factions to fill it out. Hell, if there's enough demand for it, throw India in. Maybe Japan and China too, somehow.
Then we can resolve the eternal 'Samurai vs. Roman Legions' argument ;)
This is, of course, just an idea. Random thoughts strung together in post form. Feel free to comment, criticize, or whatever.
