This is probably my loosest concept yet. I just know I want to do something where you traverse the different eras of time. So, comments please as which you think would be coolest.

Gameplay Options

Immortal

Similar to the werewolf/vampire/zombie games and the mafia games. You have your character, beginning in early time and as you level up by fighting or what not, you advance to different time periods. There will also be classes to choose from.

Storyline would most likely be about an immortal who begins from the prehistoric time, fighting other immortals ala HighLander without McCloud.

Most appropriate for a facebook app, but an RPG could work as well.

Time Travel

A simple platformer where each (set of) level is a time period and you advance through each one. Classes also an option.

Storyline would most likely be a story about a guy who was sent back to the prehistoric time by some nefarious character and must jump back to the future by jumping through portals that take him to the next period.

Alternate Fantasy 4X

A very basic turn-based 4x strategy game. The game starts with a small gridded board filled with various terrain types. Each player receives a building unit that is capable of building a city. From the city, the player can research techs, recruit more building units, warriors, etc. The game starts in the prehistoric era and can continue into the future.

It will start out as a hot-seat multi-player turn-based game. AI, if added, will come later.

Races

• Humans: Makes more money
• Dwarves: Able to mine resources better than others, units have more hitpoints
• Elves: Researches faster
• Orcs: Military is cheaper and have a slightly higher attack rating, but lower defense.

Periods

I'll address 3 basic classes:

• the Warrior (W), mainly melee and strength based.
• The Mage (M), mainly magic, mana and mostly ranged and special attacks.
• The Rogue (R), mainly stealth and speed moves.

Prehistoric/Stone Age

Paleontologists were wrong! Humans and dinosaurs did live together (why? because it's stupid-awesome!). Enemies can include cavemen, dinos, sabertooth tigers, mastodons, pterasaurs, etc. Mix it all together because it's cool.

Classes

• Clubman (W)
• Shaman (M)
• Stone-chucker (R)

Ancient/Bronze Age

Ancient Greece! Egypt! Finally someone can record your exploits and sing songs about your heroics!

Classes

• Hoplite (W)
• Priest (M)
• Thief (R)

Roman/Iron Age

Optional. Roman times. Pretty straightforward.

Classes

• Centurion (W)
• Magi (M)
• Assassin (R)

Medieval

Castles and Knights and Damsels in Distress!

Classes

• Knight (W)
• Wizard (M)
• Ranger (R).

Renaissance

The Age of Enlightenment and Exploration!

Classes

• Conquistador(W)
• Alchemist (M)
• Musketeer (R).

Industrial Age

Machines and Smoke. The Gears of War are moving.

Classes

• Rifleman (W)
• Scientist (M)
• Sharpshooter (R)

Information Age

Now!

Classes

• Marine (W)
• Hacker (M)
• Special Forces (R)

Space Age

Space is cool. Probably set in a starship or something. A time where not only have we begun to reach the stars, but also into our very selves, shaping us into whatever purpose.

Classes

• Graviton-something - mastery over the powers of gravity (W)
• Nanomage - controls pervasive nanobots by will (M)
• Bender - bends space and time around him (R)
