Things changed a lot since I've last been lurking around here. I guess my name doesn't ring any bells, but introducting myself is unnecessary.
With the release of the more user friendly HD version of Age of Empires II and the following brand new expansion, the idea of going back to this old habit has come across my mind.
The backlog of my projects is buried deep and I've no reason to use it anyway. So, I have a new project I will be working on. It involves some alternate history, something that intrigues me a lot that could be useful for the making of. Well, vikings explored North America a long time ago, this began as early as 10th century AD. I'd like to exploit this little historical fact to the point where these colonists travel across the continent and reach the lands of the natives. (aztecs, incas, mayans,... whatever) Shit happens, they wage war against each other, then ally, then end up mixing into a stable and prosperous empire, known as[insert legit name here]. Some centuries later, the Spanish come up, shit happens again...
Sounds pretty good to me, with a little bit of polish, it might turn up as a decent experience both for making and for playing this.
I expect some opinions, question, anything...
P.S. Long time since using English, grammatical errors are imminent.
