RTS elements-
Last weekend I when to target with my father is see what movies they had. The Computer game aisle was just a short walk away, so I when to check and see what 20 dollar games they had.
Thats when I can across Star Wars: Empire at war, its a pretty fun RTS game. You build tanks and other ground units and transport them to other planets to do battle against other enemy ground units, but before you can do that, you must create a space fleet to destroy the enemy space units and weaponry first .

I like this concept a lot, and I think it would be a good idea to include in Era Wars. Adding this will make the map more than just a place to tell you what level your headed to next, but an actual part of the game!
Things to be added:

1. Territories - The map will be broken up into mutable territories, all can be captured by the player - all can be captured by the enemy...
Territories give the player funds, and small bonuses.
All this money is total and given to the player (or owner of the territories) at the end of a day.

2. Constructible units - All units you see now an the ones being sprited all can be manufactured in the game, but certain buildings are needed to build certain units. Like a barracks to make infantry units and a factory (light or heavy) to make vehicles.

3. Constructible Bases - Bases protect territories, but there no required. Building a base ensures that enemies can't just walk right in a take you territory. Bases can be upgraded to be larger and larger bases cam with stand a bigger attack against them, but upgrading cost money...good money.

4. Technology - Gaining technology grants the player new units, add on to bases, and other things. Certain nations have fast technology growth, while others have slower growth, one nation can even steal technology.

5. Weather - Weather is different depending on territory, during a battle weather can effect things for the speed of units to the accuracy of rockets.

6. More work for Lilacs - This will require long moments in front of his computer, spiriting, designing a preparing stuff for the game and not long hours on Battle front 2 or Empire at war .
