Galcier - Conquest

[Neonlare]

It's been AGES since I've ever logged onto these forums, but, after much brain storming, and much training in the ways of Spritery and schtuff, I am going to work on a full blown RPG, which I might need a lil help with but meh, Anyhow, Story time!

Storyline:

It's been Several Centuries since the Samartran Alliance united the World under it's control, the only other major force at the time, the Shielthen Empire, was defeated, and it's royal line executed.

Shielthen has been reduced to a smallish farming country, under oath to the Samaratran Alliance. A reign of "Peace" was at hand...

But now, a man has appeared. His name, Galcier, his aim, to Rebuild the Glorious Empire of Shielthen, which his Ancestors had done in the past...

His popularity raised dramatically, yet his idenity unknown to the Samartrans, he continued his Conquest throughout the country-side of Shielth, gathering up a formidable force to fight the Alliance.

Will anyone stop him? Will he be victorious?

You'd better hope so, because YOUR Galcier. That's right, in a flip reversal of roles, you play the VILLIAN. OR are you?


Characters:



Galcier:

Age : Unstated - Looks to be 22.

Gender : Male

Favoured Weapon : Anything, Magic, Spears, Swords, he's proficient in many things.

Bio : The undisputed Heir to the lost Shielth Throne, his history lost in the ways of Properganda spread by the Samartrans. He wishes to regain the reputation and glory of the Shielthen Empire.


Black:



Age : Aparently 20

Gender : Male

Favoured Weapon : The Electric Guitar.

Bio : A Rock-Star in Shielth, Black's Ability and Natural Harmony with Music has made many people believe that he was blessed by the Lord of Music, Dohidra, himself. A willing supporter of Galcier (because he thinks that he's "Awesome") he fights with his Art.


The others will be added here soon, I want to finish their sprite sheets off before I post them though...


Gameplay :

I'm hoping for a "Civilization" style system, where Galcier can research new technologies to improve his Armies and such. Doing this can help the player retain control over cities, countries, and the likes.

Battle would work similar to Tactics Ogre, the SNES variant, on the players turn, they move their forces around a grid based environment, but being closer to the traditional ATB system, once encountering an enemy, the player can choose alies to assist him in the battle (they have to be adjacent to him). The battle would then commence, with it playing out like an FF game, until the player either wins, dies, retreats, or some such thing happens.


Anyone have any suggestions so far? It's really early days for this, there's no guarantees that it'll work but we'll just have to give it a try mmmms?
