Viva La

Revolution! There's no doubt in my mind this game has been done before, it's too obvious not to have been done. Such a game would combine diplomatic tact with strategic usurping. You begin in a country at the cusp of revolt, the old regime is losing hold over its people, the peasants are poor and pissed, the upper class spends most of its time kissing ass. The game works in three stages, pre-revolt, revolt, and post-revolt. In pre-revolt you must tactfully establish your party through diplomatic persuasion and whatever means necessary, avoid being found out by the ruling party, make contacts, use terrorism to get a foothold in a hostile social structure. When opportunity comes you strike! This becomes a physical war, where you command your followers and aid in the collapse of the old world. There will be other parties competing for dominance and not to mention the current regime will want to see you crushed. You've got your work cut out for you. If you're strong willed and clever, however, you can emerge victorious. You then have the post-revolt stage, in which you have to establish some sort of order amongst your people. Establish the wrong kind of order and you may find yourself the target of the masses' fury. Three games in one that can be played, single player, over the course of a month. The replay value would be limitless.
