If you're goijng to be replicating a Greek world, seafaring and maritime operations will be essential. Shipbuilding, sailing, navigating and other such skills should factor prominently in the Greek faction's gameplay.

Hmm if you are looking for Skill examples, and general background, I would suggest taking a look at GURPS (a pen and paper RPG by Steve Jackson Games) While I don't play the game, I have a number of their source books (everything from Celtic, roman, iron age, pirates, fantasy, cyberpunk, etc.) The source books are very well written, often with as much history, and background as mechanics.. As well GURPS is a system that has skills, and game mechanics for EVERYTHING.... a great source for inspiration for many projects.

A number of their source books may help you out.

many many thanks to both of you!one thing though iron chef, what is maritime?oh yes,i have run into the dilemma of making a name for the game.any ideas anyone?

ok,i am now thinking i just want it to be greek,any suggestions?

Don't forget the sacrifices to the Gods. Maybe have it to where if you neglect to sacrifice something (Isn't it a bull?) you're luck diminishes or something.

Love the idea, but you might want to start at a smaller scale (i.e. regular RPG) then once you have that build from there.

i like your thinking,would you like to help me with this game?just pm me,reply to this message,or email me!I can tell you more of my plans that way!

Well that depends, what is there so far? I generally try not to join young projects; I like to jump in a little later, probably because I haven't worked on many projects in the past.

what do you mean what is there so far?i mean thats why i need you,not so i can get started,but so i can get a pushoff.what do you typically work with when creating a game?i need anybody i can get!especially modellers!tell me eerything you are good with when making a game.

If you're looking for help on making the game I'd go in the "Help Wanted" forum. But that aside, I think you should familiarize yourself with programming for games before you embark on this journey.

Check out the numerous stickied threads in the Beginner's Forum.

Good luck!
