A shooter on the historicaly losing side where it's possible but unlikely to change the course / strategy in the style of Dark Crusade, but set in WW2.

No, not the god damn company of linearity.

[Sirus]

So, WWII as the Germans/Italians/Japanese? On a Risk-style map with RTS battles for control over regions? Might be fun.

[Rakonas]

A Star Wars Battlefront style campaign map sounds pretty great.

Something akin to MB merged with Europa Universalis and RTW.

Like, you have every castle and town in a country, war is realistic (that is, logistics need to be managed and all that), you can lead armies like MB in RTW-like battles, have character lineage progression CK2 style. Pretty much an ancient world nobility simulator. The closer to the Dark Ages the better.

Yeah I have to say this is something that is sorely missing from gaming. We have so many games set in World War II as the Americans, it's tedious. A game based around being a member of a small, ever decreasing, squad in the Wehrmacht on the closing days of the World War II would be interesting. 
Never really got the extreme levels of demonisation of the German army in World War II who often seem to blamed for the terrible things the SS and the like did. I would wager the average conscripted German  stuck in some foxhole hell covered in mud, piss and blood knew even less of what was going on in Nazi Germany than the citizens.

So basically a better more in-depth Total War? I could dig that. As for the age why not full Dark Age 500 AD Biritish Isles. With the Irish, Welsh, Cornish, Angles, Saxons, Britons, Picts, Franks and Jutes all fighting for power? Massive shield wars meeting each other in the fog of a British morning, horns blowing.

This would be amazing. I'm a sucker for anything set in dark ages britain as it's probably my hands-down favourite period of history. By the way, the welsh and cornish didn't really exist at that point, being descendants of the britons.

A 9th century Kievan Rus' is a very good setting for such game, with all the infighting between the rulers of the principalities for the control of Kiev and the constant raids of the Cuman nomads.

I may have already said this, but I desperately want Old English Metal Gear.

Yeah you're right, they did have their own rulers at the time trying to get power though. I forgot what their "de jure lands" were called at that time. Dark Ages are indeed also my favourite period in history. If there was ever a game like it I would love to play as some kind of "raider king" who gained his power from sacking Pictish towns or something.

There's a Mount and Blade: Warband mod based around 500 AD British Isles which is quite good. Brytenwalda if you haven't heard about it.

oh, i much prefer the late neolithic and early bronze age, the first steps into civilization spawned cultures so alien and fascinating

Unreal World?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

i love that game, actually play it more than df now, but that's iron age scandinavia. i'm more looking for something set in ain ghazal or teleilat el ghassul

[Draco18s]

ain ghazal or teleilat el ghassul

Gazuntite.

[Chattox]

Some kind of fantasy management game where you manage a team/squad of gladiators, say, or perhaps adventurers. You're responsible for their training, equipment, sending them out on missions etc. Like Pit of War only not browser based. That game would be glorious

[NRDL]

A game where you can play as a fleet admiral, but you're not in direct control of the space civ.  You can use the politics of the civ to your advantage, start and end wars, requisition ships and troops, supplies, etc.  Proper logistics is a must, along with awesome space battles, with capital ships, gunships, fighters, and drones.
