Of course, the LHC was built from 998 to 2008, I think, so that's spread over 1010 years, so 0.0075 billion dollars a year, say.

Found that typo specially funny, the blue letters "my corrections". Pictured people building a wooden LHC, kind of like the tower in the intro video of civIII

That would seem like a feature for the second release. Also a good way to have your doctors sharp!

Standing orders! Hell yeah! Maybe it could be something between the book keeper and the manager.

Vampires... oh so much can be done with them... right now they don't have negative effects from not drinking blood for one...

Different vampires, depending on the race they come from, their personalities and luck and traits could end up in different positions. A human vampire could lead a kingdom like the ones from warhammer fantasy. Others could end up like wild beasts, lurking on huge city sewers or forests.

Dwarven or even goblin vampires lurking on old mines and tunnels.

Perhaps they use magic in order to avoid copulation?

It was a joke. Take for example the awesome Cacame, elf king under the mountain, he went on a rampage and ended up being king of both dwarves and death itself out of hi female wife being killed.

For now... the plan is eventually leave most things in the raws or modable.

Living on a tropical country I have eaten a serious lot of weird fruit along the regular ones. I can't for the life of me remember eating persimmon, although from wikipedia looks it might have been that weird tomato that I bought on Brazil that really wasn't a tomato and almost ruined my hamburger.

River spirits... I imagine it as some light minty but concentrated moonlight shine.

Eventually you become a vampire lord? A linch in it's tower? Endless possibilities.

Only that I would love to have all that as only a faction of a strategy game, that's it on that game you could play all the other factions too, humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, goblins... and each one have it's own perks, ways and possibly individual factions. With at least two maps, one for the surface and another for the underground where you play goblings, dwarves and other factions like it.

I was thinking the other about a game like total war where instead of the current "artificial" way of recruitment it would be more organic. For example if you start to play as a Gaul "barbarian" you start only with this village/tribe and if you want to have more troops or make a proper empire you'll have to fight/bribe/awe/diplo your way trough your neighbors, your influence rising and falling on the deeds of your leaders/faction finally unifying as many Gaul tribes under your command and then do what you will with them. Fight the romans back or awe them or even ally with them, make an empire, a republic, a kingdom... all the while other Gaul tribes strive to do the same. This will make you think and fight your way to more troops and resources but you'll get what they have, that's it, you won't be "recruiting" on the classical sense where you choose what to have, but you get what they have and that's it.

In contrast the Romans would be doing more or less the same, but they would be conquering by pen, coin or sword, and imposing quotas of either auxilias or recruits on each town (if citizenship has been granted on the kingdom, province or individual town).
