Enphetamy I have some ideas to make it more appealing to younger players. When I get a chance to add "themes", one of them will have some graphical elements. I have some ideas how to visualize battles with actual troops and show how the 3 phases of battle happen. Visualizing other sections with graphics would be pretty easy, like the tech trees.
I have some features from a MUD game I was developing that could possibly be added to a theme too, to add some mini games to some sections. Like maybe instead of just clicking the spell button, the player would have to correctly draw the spell on the screen in a canvas modal - the closer to correct they draw the spell the better chance of success... Minigames to add some interactivity and make it more interesting for younger players. Could do a lot of interesting things with this.
Maybe make a map that shows their generals heading out and returning from battle.
I have a lot of ideas for this, but it's probably not gonna be doable anytime soon. Maybe next year lol
