 Gidday DAVID,

 DM> Hello all.

 DM> I hope yas all had a merry Christmas. (and a happy new year).

And you too :)

 DM> Recently I have been playing the PC games of Warcraft II and C&C.  I am
 DM> concerned about the lack of this kind of game on the Amiga.  So I
 DM> decided
 DM> to have a go at writing a similar game myself.
 DM> BUT I need ideas - I don't want the game to be too much of a clone:

Go for it, hope you write a good proggy.

 DM> In C&C you harvest some sort of crystals
 DM> In WarCraft II you chop down trees and mine gold

In Settlers you make lots of things...

In your game you could make any number of things, even something non-basic.

 DM> Anyone got any good ideas/scenarios for the gathering of money? and/or
 DM> resources to build things in this game?

Go for something wierd, like a socio enviroment with semi political overlays.
You could mine or grow mpire. You coulricts that don't support you etc.

Should be simple, it's just like everyday life ;-)

 DM> The difficult areas I came up with were:


Cheers,       __
