Im documenting a game, more for my personal creativity's sake than anything else, called clan. Its an RTS/FPS/RPG hybrid where combat is done in 'theaters', sections of the game universe where a fight is declaired. Outside of these theaters are civillian settlements and military camps, both following preatty generic forms. Ive gotten most of the data written down, but ive been hung up on two, technology and resources, for a while now. These are the two that im hoping will 'make' the game, as almost all other parts to the game follow a preatty basic form.

My question is, would anyone know of any secrets to designing these two portions of games? for technology, ive decided to go the "mission released" method, whereas the player progresses and technology is released as the game rolls on, possibly mixed in with unit design. Any assistance in this field would be helpful.

The other part, resources, i've managed to think out a little more. Im going to be creating four base materials, Metal, Crystal, Liquid, and Vapor, including a small/medium number of specific materials under each catagory. These materials are ment to be mixed and matched through trial and error, or a simulation system, eventually providing the player with the wanted outcome. What im having trouble with is creating the specific materials themselves. Im mostely having trouble with a system of naming them, and I can randomly select stats for the resources but I would like to have a system for that to if I can.

Any assistance would be helpful. Also, im looking for people to assist me with the endevour on a greater scale, if you feel up to it leave your contact info here.

Thank you.
