A basic idea - feedback required

I have this great idea for a game - I just need your point of view on it, how to improve it.[attention] This text might be a bit unclear, but if you have read it through entirely and still don't understand something, just ask. Quote: The idea The idea is to create a truely epic pvp-based MMO(rpg, tactics game) based around the medieval times. It’s a little bit like an RTS game, it’s just that everyone is 1 “unit”. The importance of yourself is based on how much power and money you have (eventually money is power, more about that later). The beginning You first create the looks of your character, and then you choose a kingdom you want to join, which are all visible on a map (more about kingdoms later). The world The world is totally random-generated. You can’t swim, so a bridge is needed for a river. Gathering recources You need resources to build walls, houses, lumber camps ect (more about this later). You can chop down trees, hunt deers and other animals with your bow and mine stone with a pickaxe. You can only carry 1 resource at a time, and you need to drop it off at a place where the resource is needed (this is always a building site or a storage site). Building sites You can create a building site with 1 piece of wood. At a building site things can be built, like a wall, lumber camp, keep, ect. (Think of this like it’s in an RTS). Every building needs different recources, like a lumber camp needs for example 3 wood, a stone wall needs 50 stone. When a building site has enough resources to have the thing built it’s created for, you can construct it (think of this like villagers do in Age of Empires. The more people that are constructing something, the faster it goes. Kingdoms When you own a keep (or town center) you are a King. You can get a keep by building a Keep constructing site or by having another king capture a keep and giving it to you (A king can’t own 2 keeps, so eventually when you gain control of another keep you have to give it away, to someone of your own kingdom or alliance ofcourse). Kings can have people join their kingdom (250 maximum for example, also depends on how many houses there are in and around your castle) and fight for them (reasons to fight would be: Stealing resources from other kingdoms, expanding your alliance (more about this later, for fun and any other reason you can think of). Alliances When a king creates an alliance, another king can join his alliance. Alliances have more power in the game, and can be bigger (250+250=500). Alliances can also be broken, which hopefully (haha) will lead to war. Lords A king can make inhabitants of his kingdom Lords. Lords can get people to join the kingdom, have more to say than people that aren’t lords, and have a bigger chance of getting a kingdom when the kingdom captures one. Stats Your stats depend entirely on your equipment. You have a good offense with a sharp sword, a good defense with a heavy armor and a good level of dexterity with a well-made leather or cloth armor. Oh.. and this piece of text has my © on it [wink]
