Cool.Kinda like PvZ and that Zombie TF2 mod.

1 Not nessecerially RTD games idea. Just an incomplete draft

Spoiler: WW III (click to show/hide)

And so it's beginning. The Third world war. Resources are running out, and countries are gearing up for war.

Tiles
A country consists of a series of tiles, which represents the amount of terrain and the different types of terrain. Other things to be determined are the various deposits of resources in the ground.
Examples:
    -Forest
    -Mountain
    -Plain
    -Scrapyard
    -...


Tile improvements
These change one sort of tile into another. For example, you can build farms, reforestry different places, and other such things.

Civilian, Industrial and military compounds
Different types of buildings are always grouped in compounds. The Compounds can contain all sorts of buildings. Every compound takes up tiles depending on it's size, and incurs maintenance costs. Compounds can get terrain assigned to them, where they will get their resources. For military invasions and bombardements, one compound counts as a single location. Therefore, spreading out might be a good idea. The following things might be constructed in a compound:

Different sectors of the economy:
There are 3 sectors in the economy: The agricultural, which is mandatory but has a low gain , the industrial, which produces IC used to build things and a decent amount of money, but requires more resources, and the commercial sector, which produces lot's of money. Having an overdevelopped commercial sector can collapse your economy however.

Environement
Rules pending

Military actions
Military actions are divided into several actions. Invasions, and bombardements.  More to be added

Ground invasions

Each ground army has at least 3 stats. Damage, defense and HP. When a player decides to invade another region, he must eliminate all enemy troops to take control. The province has a number of hardpoints, Ie the previously mentioned Compounds, which need to be taken(though if no'one defends them, they will just surrender). During a fight these compounds can be damaged. The battle will be influenced by the size and defensive structures of the compound, and the assigned terrain of the compound.

Bombardements

Bombardement units have 3 stats. evasion chance ,weapon damage/ effect and the optimal range(regional, macro regional, intercontinental or world wide ). Bombardement units target, depending on the type, a single compound or a variety off terain tiles.

Interception units also have different stats: Optimal range, ammuntion and interception chance.

What sort of tech level is that game. It sounds like it's either current tech or post apocalypse, due to the line about resources running out.
 I've also got another sort of idea lying around.

Spoiler: Space Battles (click to show/hide)

It's basically a 4x space game. Currently I've got a map based on 4 players. It's sort of a weird combination of aurora and neptunes pride. Research will play a large role, like many all 4x games, but the catch is that you can research almost anything. Based on the tech you have when you start research, you'll get bonuses/penalties to the research. This generally means that hopefully players will tend to specialize in certain areas, rather than being good at  everything. For example, researching better lasers if you already have lasers is much easier than jumping to ridiculously powerful lasers from the start.
All planets will be inhabitable for simplicity, and the goal is to either be the last one standing, or control a large majority of the planets. Planets will vary in size. Size of a planet effects how much resources are available, how much population can live on it, and how cheap it is to upgrade. Planets have 4 stats, though only 3 of them will matter most of the time. Health, Economy, Industry, and Science.
Health determines how much damage it takes to completely annihilate the planet. Economy determines how much money you get from that planet per cycle. Industry determines how many resources can be processed per turn on that planet, and at higher levels causes less resources to be needed per task. Science determines how many research points you get from that planet per cycle.
Resources are simplified to 1 type, and although more may be added in the future, 1 seems to be enough micromanagement for a game that isn't program based.
Armor works similarly to aurora, so here's a basic picture of that. https://www.dropbox.com/s/di1igjykhsw6qg6/armor.png
Communication will be difficult at the start due to distance between civilizations and low tech, which should prevent early teams.

This would be a good premise for a darkly comic action game:

Four incompetent British jihadists set out to train for and commit an act of terror.

20 Minutes into the future, at the start of the third world war.

[Grimmjow6th]

Well, i have an idea ive been batting around, and here it is.

Spoiler: Shaman King (click to show/hide)

Story:In the world of Shaman King, people with the ability to communicate and fight with spirits are collectively known as Shamans.  The four of you are drawn inw ith your spirits to the  Shaman Tournament, a semimillennial event that draws shamans from around the world to compete for the chance to become the Shaman King and the wielder of the omnipotent Great Spirit, with  which shamans can do amazing things with.

What are shamans? well...A Shaman is someone who can connect with the world of spirits and gods, this allows him to do amazing things, like taking the skills and techniques of assimilating a spirit with him. They can ask for advice to the spirits, heal the sick and gather the ghosts of the dead in this world. Moreover, by contacting the dead, they can also speak with great historical figures.

Ill be accepting Eight players. four will be shamans..the other four will be spirits. Also, those that don't get in in time can still send me your sheets, and i might make use of you as opponents.

Shaman sheet:Name:
Age:
Why are you fighting to be shaman king:
Spirit:
Special attack:
---

Spirit sheet:
Name:
Age:
Why are you fighting:
Background:
Time period you come from:
Location:

So, whatya think?

[adwarf]

I think ... Pre-in!

But more on what I think, looks neat, sorta reminds me of Fate/Stay Night with the spirit partner aspect but definitely looks like something I want to play

[Phantom of The Library]

I remember that show!

I still haven't seen the ending though. 

You might want to list some examples of special attacks.

[Grimmjow6th]

Well ive been thinking, and i think i'd swap out "special attack" for "oversoul" and list some things... And even though there would be eight people, there would only be like 4 actions a round + enemies, due to the shamans using the spirits. what im driving for is communication and teamwork between players.

[monk12]

That could be very cool.

[Caellath]

I'd surely join. Not much knowledge from shaman king aside a couple episodes and mangas, though.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Also, form the looks of it, we don't have a KoL RTD so far. Not that I can do it, what with school starting soon and me already struggling with having overdone it with RTDs.

[Spinal_Taper]

Also, form the looks of it, we don't have a KoL RTD so far. Not that I can do it, what with school starting soon and me already struggling with having overdone it with RTDs.

Holy shit. We have the exact same minds. First Megaman, then KoL.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Well, mostly because I'm on it, and because I just joined. It's quite interesting, and I suck at it.

Just like Megaman.

Ahh, I remember that movie! It was rather good.
Now that I think of it, their incompetent antics were a bit like a group of RTD characters. Sounds interesting!
