Conqueror is a third-person shooter concept; the gameplay itself is loosely based on the game "Star Wars Battlefront". Essentially, the game takes place in the early 24th century, and the mid-25th, spanning two wars: Humanity's first interstellar Civil War, and its battle with the all-powerful Mithridian/Kraloss Alliance. (The Kraloss are used as infantry grunts by the Mithridians; the Mithridians are tall and human-like, with bluish skin.) You must create a character, choosing gender, name, and other attributes, and finally, you must choose between five warrior types: Trooper (basic soldier), Shock Trooper (for close-range combat), Demolition (Demo) Trooper (for explosives work), Pilot (for the use and repair of vehicles), and Scout (sniper and medical soldier). In the Single-Player Campaign, players would be able to rise through the ranks, upgrade their characters, and eventually lead a squadron of their own, consisting of the other warrior types. Each class may choose between several weapons sets (unlike Battlefront). Each character may hold two weapons and up to eight grenades. These are the classes' standard weapon sets: Trooper: Assault Rifle (AR)/Pistol; AR/Machine Pistol (MP); Carbine/MP; Pistol x2; MP x2; Carbine/SMG; Carbine/Pistol. Shock Trooper: Shotgun/MP; Shotgun/SMG; Shotgun/Pistol. Demo Trooper: Rocket Launcher (RL)/Carbine; RL/AR; Gauss Cannon (GC)/Carbine; GC/AR. Pilot: SMG/MP; SMG/Pistol; Carbine/Pistol. Scout: Sniper/SMG; Sniper/MP; Sniper/Pistol. --- Characters may pick up any weapon, or use any vehicle, they encounter, but they will use them with varying degrees of skill, based on their experience using that type of weapon. These are the Experience categories: Stamina Weapons Proficiency (Rifles, Small Arms, and Explosives) Reloading Speed Leadership (without it, computer-controlled troops may hesitate or refuse to follow your orders) --- These attributes are gained by doing each action you wish to improve several times. (For example, if you are within a millimeter of your life and heal, you will gain a lot of Stamina experience at the end of the battle.) [Edited by - spectre1890 on August 13, 2005 11:34:15 AM]

This is an interesting idea, but you've really left us not knowing what you want. I think you'll probably get more out of this forum if you post questions rather than just a laundry list.

In a nutshell, I need to know if this can really work the way it's set up.

It will, essentially, follow in the footsteps of Battlefront; differences include far deeper RPG elements (character creation, experience gaining, etc.), changes in the command post scheme used by the Star Wars game, upgradable weapons and armor, clan support (if possible), online co-op (also uncertain about actual difficulty in implementing such an idea), more (and better, in my opinion) vehicles, and others that I simply have not come up with yet. My goal, overall, is to improve heavily on the ingenious concepts introduced by Battlefront, and adding many of my own, without crossing the line of plagiarism.

This is only the first draft of the idea. Thanks for the input; I'll be sure to consider that in later versions of the idea.

This isn't an FPS idea. It's a TPS (THIRD PERSON Shooter) idea, and the best one, that matches my idea, is Battlefront. Rent it for PS2 or Xbox, or just buy the PC version.
