Your own perfect computer game!

[Togakure]

A new Shogun: TW, of course. I'd like to see the graphics modernized, weather effects retained, and an expanded diplomatic system. I'd like to see the AI updated to be as challenging and realistic as humanly possible given today's technology. I'd want it to be as historically accurate as possible, but balanced with smooth, intuitive and engaging gameplay.

I think it would be cool to also expand the aspects of strategic agents, taisho, and daimyo--to add a "story" element to the game. Perhaps incorporate aspects of the game in "FPS" style, which are segued to when certain actions are taken, or circumstances are encountered. You become the ninja, kunouchi (female ninja--what geishas in the game really are, in my mind), or shinobi, and execute a mission, etc. If a daisho or daimyo flees the field, it segues to an "FPS"-like interface and you have to hunt down the fleeing general or defend yourself, etc.

This last isn't very likely, as it would require a completely different, additional engine, but since this is a "dream game" thread, I thought I'd put it out here. I might expand on this further when I have some more time.

well persoanlly I would buy up Blizzard and scrap the "l33t haxxor" game WoW wich is so lame and "candyland" it can get.

Instead I would pay 'em to make a similar game, but instead set the Forgotten Realms (you know what I mean if you played D&D-PnP/BG/NWN).
I got so many ideas on how it would be done I wish I was filthy rich!
Just imagen the whole Forgotten Realm made in to one gameworld you can explore, grow powerfull and all around nice or naughty.

something like master of the puppets said, a mix of the Total War series and Mount&Blade. and they could expand this to include the whole world from ancient times up to today.and of course implement everything so it works like a sim of it´s own, I mean, I didn´t like the low visibility and the not-very-simlike flightmodels of planes in OFP, thought the rest of the game was quite good. after that I´d of course have to use the rest of my huge amount of money to get some appropriate hardware to have unlimited line of sight and enough RAM to put the whole world into it.
Well, I would certainly come up with more details and wishes while they were working on the game.

Oh, btw, I´d tell them to make a certain part of the game playable early on and add other content later on, cause i wouldn´t like to wait for them to finish it.

A new and improved StarCraft with all the units redrawn in an animated fashion. More intricate gameplay.

Or a Counter strike type of Starcraft game, I know something like that exists, but it's not fun like CS.

I'll go with this, but with some added extras like:

Being able to design and build city walls, fortifications.
Design your own troops, eg heavy inf with crossbows, mixed squads, ships with marines
being able to train and assign officers and NCO's
More diplomacy
Damn good naval battles, not like Pirates
In FPS mode, being able to split your squads and give orders

I like these ideas!!

Indeed more diplomacy. Perhaps indeed some more real action... like being a ninja on a mission or indeed a cavalrist who has to chase the enemy. Of course better grafics and improved computer intelligence... because it is lacking now

and something else, more details on castles. like when you're attacking a castle, the dojo's in it should be visible and destroyable. add the ability of the nature to be on fire at the battlefield but also these buildings etc. more details about the battles.... the map should really be in shape of the region, and anything of buildings that are in it should be visible.
