Your own perfect computer game!

[Ja'chyra]

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.

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.
