I'm trying to create a new type of game that would have the same basic principles of EG. (Base Building, Minions, Henchmen, Uberloot, and the enemy tagging system) I've come up with the fact that unless you have a computer the size of a house, all of the enemies are going to have to be real people. This means that aside from a set of tutorials, the entire game will be online. I also realized that an entire new gaming system will have to be made. Can anyone tell me any ideas for this?
Also the name of the new system will be X-Ware. It is the shape of a triangular pyramid. The remotes will be like the the bottom half of a DS or even more like a GameBoy with a touch screen. I attached a Paint picture of the basic design. If I can get this patented it would be pretty awesome...
And the name of the game would be World Domination: Fall of Order
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I'm afraid I think your idea is flawed. If you are aiming at massive multiplayer, then people have to be able to win. The idea that 1 dungeon master will repeatedly spank all the people entering it will not last long.
So first of all there must be a material gain for people entering the lair (perhaps materials they could gain for building their own). Possibly related is that you would need to encourage people to enter other lairs. Otherwise everyone will sit proudly for 5 minutes watching their lair be ignored, then quit.
So I assume you will need roles, or ranks. Maybe characters can become evil geniuses, or perhaps there are factions.
There's so much more, but I'm afraid from the scarce design, I can only conclude that this is just a glint in your eye. If you get a more steady idea, post again.

Thanks for the friendly criticism. But I have more information on the general discussion page go check it out. I explained the game in greater detail. And with your note the newbies getting pwned by masters, you get base protection so that no one can pwn you while you are building your base or if you a newer than 48 hours. I never thought about ranks, so thank you.
