dam, this makes me lust for a mission based game like this, where half the mechanics is reviving the dead, summoning dark undead spirits from other realms, and comanding them durring the mission, and the other half is physically joining the battle. and the whole concept of the game is going from village to village, town to town, city to city, location to location, and castle too castle, invading, ransacking, and between missions allocating experience points and gold to either upgrade yourself or your undead. untill you have conquered the world (or at least continent). with each mission having objectives like "take this city" "defend this outpost" and "retrieve this mcguffin"

something with a 3rd person perspective thats fairly close without being over the shoulder view.

something where your either a villain, bent on ruleing the world, or you just seem like a villain, an antihero with a verry significant villinous appearance.
