realm building computer game

[Orchaldir]

Hello!

This is my first post, but I visited the forum in the past few months.

I want to make a realm building computer game and I am currently collecting ideas and designing the system.

Infos about my first prototype(map editor): http://orchaldir.blogspot.com/2009/0...prototype.html

About my design(the attached pdf):

I want to start as simple and as abstract as possible, but cover most of the important areas.

Assumptions are limitations to make the first version as small as possible. Later versions will add the missing features. Maybe I will exclude even more features.

Issues are things I am not sure about or have no idea.

Questions:

What do you think about my design?

What do you think about the map pictures?

Did I miss an important part of realm management?

Other sources of information/ideas?

I use: this forum , birthright books, Fields of Blood, Empire, A Magical Medieval Society

Do you have Python installed? If not, would you?

Thanks for the help.
