New Online MMO and Current Status on Project

Hi!
A couple of people I know in real life and I are working on an online, web-based MMO that doesn't require any downloading or anything, just a web browser.
The main concept of the game is you create a country out of scratch and you grow in population, wealth and such over time. You can buy armies and take over other people's land to get bigger.
Kinda like a Risk, but 500 times better and Online.
We've got a lot of cool ideas worked up, like a PM system, Chat Room, PvP battle system, and country customization.
It should be open in about a month to play as a beta.
We need some more ideas. I don't want to tell you too much about the game because then I'd be getting into a vague area, but you can totally help us by dropping by a suggestion.
What we're having trouble with is naming the game.
I was thinking something like War Online or something.

As for status on my other programs...
[] I've updated my emulator called Smarcyclem to V. 0.43 however, I will not be releasing it for a while.
It'll include a more compressed engine, the ability to take screenshots, the ability to save more savestates, ability to run all ROM's at full speed with minor graphical errors and only minor sound issues on a few games.
[] I've been working on ideas for Pokemon: White Chill a lot. I've written many scripts and I've decided on many things that I still need to implement.
[] A secret project is almost completed. I've decided to release a few details about it. It's called XMBFrame and it'll be
[] I'm thinking about releasing a program called FirstAide when I release Smarcyclem V. 0.43. It'll be a recovery menu shortcut in the XMB so that you can disable the recovery menu's auto-start but still use it.

I think that's it..

Please, can someone move this to the Development Section please? :P

Hey crait. Ur idea is a lot like tribalwars.net

I know this may seem bad but "borrow" some ideas from them.

That's not bad to do at all.
Lol, if someone likes it, why purposely not let them have it?

Sounds awesome, you should name it something like Age of Civilization or something leet like that. Good luck on the project. I'd like to check it out once you release it! You should also make a psp version to download, it doesn't have to be online or anything but human vs the computer.

That's what I'm going to make.
It'll be really simple, dude.
It'll be completely PSP compatable.
We're going to try to make it iPhone compatable too.

I like the idea but what will be done about the established countries snuffing out the fledgling ones?

Countries can't be attacked until they are a certain size/days old.
Also, you can't attack countries unless they are close to the same strength as you.
We might also put different restrictions if we think of some better ones.
That's one reason I'm asking for suggestions.
By the way, excellent diction.

Hmmmm.
Total Domination?
That sounds cool.

Once again might i suggest a "Moral" system. A high level attacks a lower village= less moral of troops. This in turn makes the battle equal

I don't know how that would work.

You could include it by making cities have levels... and when there's enough of a level gap there's a decrease in stats for the army.

Hmmmmm...
But if you had parts of your country taken by another country, should some cities be taken too?
