Topic:Project: Tantalus

The Project: Tantalus is a game i've been thinking of. It would be a 2d RTS game in which you control one civilization (In History mode it would be a defacto Human civilization, and in Skirmish, Forge and Multiplayer mode you could name it differently and maybe create your own civilization from scratch) This civilization would start as a small group of people located in one planet within the habitable zone of a Solar System (Called by default Solaris and would be Adressed as A0B1C2"D" For another device), this civilization would start as a low level in tech but could have the option of rising through tiers and eventually being able to reach Space-fairing and interstellar technologies (For an example that being level 7th and 8 of history mode) Each of this technology having a certain coast of the planets resources which would have a certain amount in History mode (Say that Solaris C which would be the default name of the planet could have e.g 687 Iron, 842 Progenium, and 425 Lithium and the top amount being 1000, and lets say you want to build a ship without its energy core, that would cost around 20 Iron units and to make the energy core and engine you would need 5 of both Progenium and Lithium) This would eventually mean that  you have to be carefull to not deplete your planet resources completely before making a space fairing technology. When reaching Space fairing levels you get to choose between three default ship classes, War Cruiser, Carrier ships and Explorer ships, the first too are ships made to defent your planet while third class is to explore the nearby stellar vicinity and the planet system. The first to engine types to be found or created would be then Sublight Engines and FTL(Type I) Engine the first one is supposed to be for interplanetary and short distances travels, while the second is for long term travels to other star Systems. There would also be the possibility of making teleporters and "Stargates" (Yes it would be if i get to make a game lol hence the adress) each adress would be like in the series a 7 symbol adress with with the last one being the Point of origin of the gate (in this case being defined by a space location grid within the game) although there could be perhaps an option for the gates to be already put into each planet and to allow gate dialing since early stages of the game.
