Let me start by saying you have put some good thought into
your concept, and I agree that other periods of time could make
for some great games.
But that war? It would be my last choice to make, or to play. WWII,
the American Revolution, those would have a much broader appeal.
The only real problem I see with a military game is that it will not
have a wide appeal. For any army to function, people have to follow
orders, it seems to me that the MU* community is mostly about people
acting solo, or at least for their own purposes.
In a military conflict there would have to be a real shift in focus, making
a big enough map for large scale conflict is not going to trivial with any
codebase I am familiar with as well. The war you are discussing did not
have clear goals, we were not defending our homes, but the 'enemy' was.
One comment about your choice of words. I think you somewhat missed
the point in the reactions. It seemed to me that you used the word 'gay'
to mean 'bad, incorrect, silly' or something to that effect. It is not to spare
the feelings of a particular group, real or imaginary, it is that society has
finally started to really accept differences as just that, different.
And while there are exteme groups that go too far, I am sure you wish
to consume in a responsible manner, with some thought as to what sort
of world might be around for the next generation. That is the real goal
and a very wise one for the human race.
