Hello everybody!
I'm a new starting amateur game designer. My favorite games are 4X games (and my least favorite games are deck builders) So it's no strange thing that I like to design my own 4X games. Although mostly they turn out to be not more then another worker-placement or resource-management game. That's why I joined this forum, I can use all the help I can get. So now on to my current project: The Rise of the Guilds (work in progress name)
In the Rise of the Guilds, players take the role of one of the many different Guilds in a city. They try to expend their influence throughout the city and become the ruling faction. But they can't do this alone. Paying the villagers of the city to build their buildings or give them soldiers might be to expensive sometimes, but if one of the players is the Builders-guild or the City-watch they can pay them a reduced amount to get what they want. But the players have to be aware, because not everybody in the city is happy with the Guilds... So what will you do, and who will you ally with, when you try to get your Guild to the top?
The most basic idea of the game is to create a 4X game where the players try to be cooperative and fight each other at the same time. Now I'm just looking for some other cooperative 4x games with a last-man-standing-wins element in it. I've played all kind of games from Diplomacy to Twilight Imperium. But I'm looking for more of these kind of games. And it would be interesting to hear your opinion about it.
@truekid: Not really player elimination, but more a game with only 1 winner. Don't really know the name for that.
@Aerjen: Made this topic first, didn't knew there was an introduction forum.
