I didn't have something more specific, I just feel its underused in games.

The above were empire managers, there is also a city builder:  https://www.gog.com/game/children_of_the_nile_complete

Would be cool to see something set in the pre-dynastic period.  You would have a divided Egypt, and could either fight to subjugate the other half or work for unification of upper and lower. 

Trade and relationships with nearby lands could be important to this; like, you should never be able to totally conquer Syria or Nubia, but you could make them protectorates or trade partners.  If you are receiving benefits from them, it could tip the balance of war between Upper and Lower Egypt in your favor, if you are bogged down there trying to suppress them, it could tip the balance the other way.

I'm not sure if pre-dynastic egypt ever actually traded with Syria, or if that was all later.  Regardless, there is probably a closer example.

Classical writings are a good example, barely anything survived the dark ages.  Archimedes had calculus 2000 years before Newton, where would the world be if we had progressed from there instead of backsliding?

I wouldn't call being able to do a few math problems with Riemann's sums as having calculus. As for classical writings, we only know about the ones that were lost because of scholars from the "dark ages".


On a more relevant note, I'd love to see a game with a historical ancient egyptian setting.

It certainly wasn't historical, but I recall a diablo-like set in Egypt. I think. Maybe it was just one chapter of Titan's Quest? (I remember TQ went into China as well.)

Could be thinking of something else but Titan Quest definitely did have a chapter in Egypt.

Diablo 2 had a chapter in an Egypt-esque fantasy kingdom. IMHO it's the worst part of the game.

Act 3/The Jungle was worse.

Maybe this is weird, but I wish there were an open-source standard for robotic pets, like Furbies and stuff. With the Internet, and all the ways that toys interact with apps and websites nowadays, I imagine all sorts of cool possibilities for robotic pet toys.

Caravaneer 3.

There was talk of a settlement builder on the Facebook page, so I'm looking forward to that.

[PTTG??]

An myst-like or RPG that starts out in English but gradually transforms into a different language so as to teach the new language. Heck, a full-immersion Skyrim in a second language, written so that your character doesn't initially speak it, would be interesting.

Wait, I just realized that Skyrim does do that, it's just specifically dragon language.

[Rose]

That would be a great way to learn a language, actually.

Mass Effect 4

[Persus13]

As opposed to Mass Effect: Andromeda?

[Gigalith]

Similar idea to PTTG, I've wanted to create a game that is completely in a unique fictional language. Completely. Particularly a text-heavy game like a CCG.

It's like when you play an import with little knowledge other than what "yes" and "no" are, except with an import there's people who actually speak the original language.

Rome Total War 3: The less Bug ridden edition!

Srsly I liked Shogun 2 and Attila but just couldn't get Rome 2 to work quite right.

[LordBaal]

Rome Total War meets Paradox games. The we won't cheap with stupid dlc's and cut corners edition.
