A spy game, in which your objective is to sabotage whatever fort/city/dirigible/ship/whatever as much as you can before allied attack hits. Blackmailing, traps, using out paranoia to throw blame on those who start figuring out what exactly you are doing.

That sounds awesome

This sounds cool. There should be a simulation element to it (whether it's turn-based or realtime), so you can set stuff up and watch the shit hit the fan.

After playing The Guild 2 Renaissance, I want a completely bug free and feature full Guild game, like Guild 2 with the Legacy mod.

Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

An online strategy game like AAA in space. Travel from world to world, use diplomacy, economics, fake techno-religions, and military might to gain control of the cosmos!

Distant Worlds Universe might be a 4X sci-fi game you'd be interested in. 24 diverse species, mods add enough to have 40. Play in a single galaxy, varying win conditions.

It's like Settlers of Catan meets Star Trek or Mass Effect, but that's a terrible way of phrasing it.

A game I wish existed was a fighting game that had a plot the majority of the fanbase cares about. Lore actually matters to know, dynamic stages (In a street fighter game there was these kids watching in the background, but I just imagine 1 wrongly timed shot, BAM DEAD CHILD. In I think it was Digimon Fronteir or something the fighting game had sometimes digimon pop up that you could attack for bonuses. But yeah, bystanders getting hurt and having an effect on the plot)

Distant worlds is a great game, though at times it feels like the game is playing itself. It is very complex game with actually decent automation. Automation that can be turned off, or made give you advice like Civilization advisors. If you want, you can automate everything except, say, the military and play a general, or keep the spies on and play the spymaster working for the glory of the empire. Or you can play as a single fleet, or an explorer, seeking new frontiers. It's pretty cool.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Just a good, low fantasy medieval first person mmo game. With the ability to capture existing towns and customise them to an extent. A few powerful mythical creatures to hunt. Then a good first person combat system that feels satisfying. Also rag doll and corpses stay where they are for 1 hour or so.

How about things come along and eat the corpses?

YES! That would be cool. Like wandering along and you come across a massive battlefield filled with corpses and scavengers feeding on them.

Random thought today: Space Invadanoid. Space Invaders + Arkanoid. Someone probably already did that somewhere.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Don't make them wolves make them foxes, and/or vultures and stuff.

Factorio-ish set in the SMAC universe (with Hints of Anno and Creeper World), loosely inspired by Sirus' post in the Factorio thread

You lead an independent team vying for contracts to protect settlements from the native fungus life. This predominantly involves building defenses around cities to protect them from mindworm incursions (all varieties, land, sea, and air), but also includes pushing back the fungus (Creeper world; fighting fungus towers ) and harvesting resources outside the cities because it's too dangerous for citizens to do so. Possibly includes production chains for producing your own equipment, and research chains so you can develop better equipment. Tech period would be late game SMAC; all of it is technically researched, but no faction has "won" the SMAC game. Most tech is only readily available to the factions, your research is in developing "in house" methods of production for your own use (may also allow trade with factions for this).

Scope is wider than Factorio, you wouldn't be just one guy, but I'm not sure how to best manage legal (gameplay-wise) construction sites. Maybe set up (and supply) "outposts" and those outposts allow constructions in their influence (Anno warehouses)? Any given region will probably have a mix of faction cities and you can negotiate with any of them to provide them with security and resources. Contracts with cities (independently cities, even if they belong to the same faction, but there might be bonuses or penalties involved there) are your main source of... probably not energy credits (since you could just build your own solar collectors) but $currency. The general SMAC gameplay takes place between AIs above the scope of your own game, so factions might not like you negotiating with their enemies, and possibly having to get involved in a versus-human-units vendetta. But that's just to offer a great variety of scenarios, preferably with a robust random map generator to maximize that. Oh yes, and you're not the only team out there; there are rival contractors, your main goal is to become the de-facto fungus contractor in the region by either eliminating the rivals ("Sorry chap! Hazardous work out here!") or securing long-term contracts with most of the cities in the region.

I'd want the scope to be wide enough that the cities are present in the region, but that might be too wide. It could work okay for the Hive, whose cities are mostly underground, but the rest of the factions would probably end up being "cities" like in Skyrim or MMOs: tiny because the virtually the only buildings present have a purpose, with nary any space for the thousands or millions of bodies most cities need to actually get through the day.
