My thoughts on bad ideas:
- Make it so that the easiest and cheapest way to produce a unit is to build a different one and upgrade it!
- Make fog an active weather effect that causes ships to run aground and fleets to end up no where near their destination
- Have pop ups from your generals and admirals telling you when they disagree with you. At times they will ridicule you, and after a loss constantly pop up and say "I told you so"
- There should be an "I told you so" button that you can hit in MP to remind other players of when you were "so smart", and they were "so wrong."
- There should be an element of quality control in factories. The player should be responsible for inspecting any and all goods produced in factories or quality will drop and units will become disgusted. See above (generals) for your troops reactions.
- MP should include custom taunts and bragging emoticons that you can buy from Paradox.
- MP should include 1 hour breaks every game month when all of the players on a side must meet to discuss the months strategy. If you aren't in an alliance yet, you sit out and stare at a black screen.
- No one will be allowed in game chat (voice or otherwise) to make fun of a team mate that loses because they set their entire army on AI. (happened once, seriously)
- Comes with a spread sheet in game.
- Other players on your team should be able to change your attack strategies in process if they disagree with them (OMG, this would be hilarious) This should only be allowed if the other player really believes that they are right.
- Make everyone name all of their aircraft. In MP there could be a pop up every air battle that shows which planes shot down which! (actually would be cool, the first time!)
The list could go on, and on, and on
