Medieval / Fantasy type of units. Modern military units loses interest
faster. WarCraft is still selling, and Myth rules. The Command&Conquer
stuff is no t that great, and people abandon them after getting through.

Network play is needed.

WC / C&C: Resources is the key. This really bugs me. Strategy is what
counts, not the patience factor. This makes C&C and WC II + Expansion
set too boring and easy.

Different sorts. But ground/air/water units. And transport units. A
griffin/falcon to transport a single soldier would be great.

One past age. Fantasy or not. Unless you will make it a Civ like game.

Myth rules. WarCraft II is good as well (not the original, which was
really just a tutorial, but the expansion set is OK). Civilization rules
its kind of games. But is missing out on netplay.

The resource management sucks. Leave that for Civilization type games.
