It'd be a bit like Morrowind, a firstperson fighting RPG. You'd play in the stone age, having to win over the hearts and minds of your tribe. For example, it would start where you see the threat of another tribe preparing weapons to butcher your tribe. You speak to the tribal leader, he offers you command of his tribal military if you can convince people to join. First you'd start by taking small groups of people out sneak over and have a look at the weapons being stockpiled, lots of spears, clubs, etc. This convinces them there is a threat. Then, you must prove yourself a worthy warrior to command the people into battle. You train for a while and gain the strength to take on the village berserker. If you beat him, people know you're a great warrior. Then, on a fairly individual basis you have to talk to people in the tribe and ask them to join your cause. Some will gladly join, or not join. Others will join if you help them with something. So you do a small quest for them. When you've got enough fighters together, you and your men go out and gather resources. Then you level up your crafting by crafting small clubs and stuff, until you can make better tools. Then you can go out and hunt to gather heavy pelts to make armor. The village crafter can teach you how to effectively make these things. That or you can do quests for him, and get resources, and he'll craft it.

So you've got enough weapons and armor to maintain an effective team of fighters. You give it to them, they equip it, then you can command some to scout and watch for people from the enemy tribe who wander too far away. If they do, and they're staying away for a while, you can take a couple guys and ambush the straggler.

So when their numbers start dwindling, you take all of your men and storm their camp, you kill their fighters, but some fighters, and all of the women and children, will surrender. You can either execute them, or bring them to your tribe. Bringing them back gives you good alignment points (who you are in the next level is based on your current alignment). If you execute them, you could be invaders, if you help them, you could be the defense.

Sounds really cool.Itd be sweet if as more people join your village the bigger it gets and more advanced.Like after a long play time you can get walls and stuff.Your town gets invaded constantly and you always have to make sure defense is ready for when you leave and go on long journeys.It'd be really cool if you came back one time and found your village destroyed or taken over by an enemy.

Singeplayer games just don't have the variety of multiplayer(Something like that...). On multiplayer games you can play with your friends. You can have flame wars with other people. You never know what the other person is thinking. You don't know if they are going to team-kill you or what. Multiplayer is also much more challenging(Usually). There is room for people to get VERY skilled at the games since they aren't playing a computer that makes the same moves most every time.
