I was thinking of makign an RPG set in the 1700's time period. You would be a soldier in the army in charge of trading and killing indians / exploring the west. It would be a 3 player game where each player is in control of 1 unit (A Soldier) and there are 4 NPC soldiers that follow each player around ( A party ). You would travel to different forts / indian villages. At each place there would be missions to do such as to Whipe out a certain tribe of indians, or to befriend an indian tribe, or to take out a French outpost, ect. I also had an idea of using Minerals / Gas as Energy / Food. While you are traveleing your food meter would go down, and as your food meter drops you begin to lose energy and have some side-affects such as slowing your character down (creating burrowed units under it) ect. When your energy drops to 0 you pass out for about 30 seconds and come back with a small amount of energy left. To gain energy you would make a camp (only at night), or to eat food (food could be Hunted, Fished, or purchased at a tavern.) I would also put in a sort of respect meter for each indian tribe. If you complete quests for a tribe, their respect for you gains, if you fail a quest or kill any of their tribe members, it lowers. With high respect the tribe would trade more often with you for food/skins/other things you need, and would help you with your quests. With low respect they would not do anything for you, and if it gets low enough they would attack you. If your character dies, you gain control of one of the remaining soldiers in your party. I have many others idea for a map like this.. i'm thinkinga bout making it but im not sure if i should so yeah if you guys could tell me if it's worth making i would appreciate it 
thanks.

Hey I think that your idea sounds pretty cool. I like the ideas that you said about when you pass out you could just simply make the unit not move at all. Well I think that you should turn your idea into a map. And if you do, Good luck with it.

Yea thanks , i was sort of thinking of giving the unit to a computer controlled character and center screen on an unexplored piece of terrain and having a message say "You have passed out, you will regain contiousness in # seconds", and if wile you are passed out a french patrol, or enemy indian spots you they could either take you prisoner, or just kill you (Randomly)

You should have a third option and have the patrol be not interested in you because of you smell too bad, or they think that you are already dead and they just leave.

Yeah thanks i guess lol i dono if ill make it, i dont have a lot of time to work on maps and stuff like that, but i might. Although, if anybody else would like to use my ideas to make the map they can. I have plenty more ideas for it they and i would be glad to tell them. Just put a little "Designed by Wrathlord[7]" or something in it.

i have a new idea

I also had an idea of using Minerals / Gas as Energy / Food. While you are traveleing your food meter would go down, and as your food meter drops you begin to lose energy and have some side-affects such as slowing your character down (creating burrowed units under it) ect. When your energy drops to 0 you pass out for about 30 seconds and come back with a small amount of energy left.
