Society RPG - loap/islandtrolls

[BlackHobo]

working on a map, so far got 40% of the terrain done.
just started it.
Goals:
player run economy
items created like in island trolls
only 3 jobs..
banker job
governor job
militia job

banker - has the only safe place to store your money/items. can give out loans if he/she decides. loans would be enforced by contracts, contracts are enforced by the governor/militia.

Governor - can set the % tax collected every x minutes. sets laws like no slavery or whatever he/she wants. gives funding to the militia.

Militia - enforces laws, combats rebels/terrorists. follows governors orders, keeps players safe.

Player:
starts with x amount of cash. can buy land, farms and tools. everything else is made by the players. loses 1 mana every few seconds, with 0 mana you die. sell items u make or gather, to other players.

Gameplay:
u need food to keep your mana up, food is hunted, or farmed by players. Cash is an item, not gold or lumber. $20 bills, $100 bills and $1000 bills. however u can trade in cash 4 gold , but thats only needed if u want to buy tools. Grow drugs like cannabis, cocaine, opium for blackmarket money. build guns, and even tanks.

Resource type Items:
logs - chop trees
Iron - mined
coal - mined
Steel - forged

resource items would be used to make things like guns, ammo, towers, workshops, scientific equipment.

Hmm maybe some screen shots? That might get some more attention from people.

i could post screenshots but, the terrain doesnt look to pretty or anything. im focused on the gameplay stuff. later on, when its finished ill probably get a terrainer to give it a makeover.

new ideas:
diseases - like the plague or cancer. players will need to invent cures which can be sold for profit, or bought from players by the governor with taxes. which would be distributed. however because cures will be hard to invent, players will probably invent treatments first. say if a disease gives -100 movement speed, the treatment would give +100 movement speed.
allowing for players to buy there own land and create there own private hospitals.

so basically i want to make a very sandbox game, more sandbox then loap. but just as fun/competitive as island troll tribes. with an RP twist.

Here's my Idea

Season
Add seasons, maybe add gameplay times or calendar. Oh don't forget an option to save the character with password,maybe.

Heat System
Giving a heating system that if you close to fire, it will rise up. If in the winter you don't stay at home, it will goes down, making -60 movement speed.
