The problem with LP is that battles against AI are boring. They're either too easy, or too much of a grind. There is hardly any interesting tactics to be used, as you are forced to mass produce generic army builds that are the most efficient at slaughtering the masses of lemming-like invaders, else you drown in them.
Perhaps some sort of pseudo-MP LP would be more feasible?
Let's say you set up a few nations, and take orders from forumites, which then you try to enact in the most literal sense - kind of like the literal genie. Random forumites would be unlikely to know, or even care to know, too much about the game, so it'll be a very chaotic and silly and inefficient, albeit most probably, fun game.
Well, just an idea, as I shan't be able to do this on my crappy laptop - even IE takes two minutes to start.
