Steampunk and other

I want V2 rockets to shoot other villages.

We're talking Steam Engines, not Gasoline

If we're overshooting we might as wlel have H-bombs too. I'm taking out supergrids at a time with this thing.

I want a steam-powered V2 rocket.

Eh. I would like to see some steam powered things in the game, it'd make a good "Final stage" of metal and flour production, however, the problem with adding steam to the game is it brings the question of "Why not just put a steam engine on everything?"

It'd be interesting to see, however, it'd have to be something that would take a long time to unlock and build.

Although, I think we should probably draw the line at steam-powered bicycles.

i'd love to have separate "flavors" of this game once it gets past beta, wild west, steampunk, etc. it's a nice basis.

I had a similar idea with regions, where the world is made up of different areas where different items grow or are produced better than in other areas.

For example temperate areas would be like the game is now, log cabins, some stone structures, that kind of thing. (Akin to Real-life Europe.)

Desert areas would have sand, stone, mud, clay and papyrus, and people settling their would have access to those types of buildings. (Akin to Real Life Ancient Egypt)

Stuff like that really.

But, eh, it's more of a "Wouldn't it be cool" than a "Let's do this" kind of idea.

Who knows, maybe something like that is the eventual intention.

This. There are lots of cool ideas for themes and whatnot that do not necessarily suck just because they don't fit in H&H.

[burgingham]

Well I did not mean that other flavours are not cool, but this is meant like in basically different games/servers and not all in one i hope? I am all for that myself, but fitting tons of flavours or technical eras in one game does not sound very appealing.

Sure, these settings are fine and dandy for a whole new game based on the same engine, but please don't put pikemen and tanks in the same game.

[Grog]

If the devs wanted a steampunk game they would have created a steampunk game. If players wanted a steampunk game they would go play a steampunk game. This just doesn't fit into h&h at all.
