First off, I enjoy the game. I really would love it if they continued developing this game. But I heard they will only do a small update from time to time. I hope they change their minds on this.

To that end, I have some ideas. I really enjoy playing any of the Egyptian factions and most often I pick the Khufu Legacy with building stuff. I think when a new faction leader comes to power the monuments reset or if they are completed expanded on with a new leader/king. Like the pyramid is expanded with a new pyramid being built near it or an option to begin a royal necropolis where family members can also be buried once they pass. These new additions could help expand the bonuses they already provide. Plus can help keep populations from becoming too idle. 

Also as history has shown Kings often had more than one Queen at this time, to that end this can create more courtly intrigue (esp if the King has a jealous Lesser Queen) I think this can create a legacy issue for any faction and not just the Egyptians. This became an actual issue under Ramesses III's reign when one of his lesser Queens conspired to kill him and place her son as heir. 

More thoughts to come but these are just ideas that I hope one day they may even look at.

Some more thoughts;

Trade goods, I love the raw material idea but I think it could be expanded into finished goods for trade as well. 

Bronze: Weapons, bronze workings like statues etc. Give bonuses for soldiers or luxury items that improve public morale/happiness.

Wood: Building material, weapons, and luxury items like furniture...which could also be in funeral goods too.

Food: used for wages both military and civilian. 

Gold: Wages for military, made into luxury items like jewelry, can also be used to decorate temples and jewelry could also be used as a grave good.

Trade goods thoughts Continued!

To expand on the idea of finished goods, some faction specific items. If you conquer the faction in question you gain their production abilities as well. Otherwise you can trade for these items with your items.  Say for Seti's faction they make beer (a product from food production). You Conquer Seti, you gain his breweries. If you conquer Assyria you gain advance bronze working foundries that can make bronze statues. Tauset makes papyrus, you gain the ability to build libraries and this can lead to building "influencers" to help increase your standing in your regions. Just some examples and more ideas! Feel free to add ideas and make comments!  

Another legacy idea?

In addition to expanding current legacies with more buildings and more monuments. How about a new legacy? Ramesses named for Ramesses the Great. Part Builder part conqueror, kinda combines two other legacies but maybe with unique buildings. Unique conquest targets. 

Unique Trade goods:

Some ideas for what unique trade good would go with what faction.

Ramesses: Special Swords for medjay troops.

Seti: Beer (improves happiness.)

Tauset: Papyrus or linen

Amenmesse: jewelry

And with the other comment if you conquer the faction you gain their industrial abilities/buildings.

It is kinda sad that I don't see much activity on this forum anymore. I hope more people share ideas that could help give new life to this game.

What I find disturbing, there is constructive criticism for this game that apparently is ignored. Not sure why CA wouldn't try to improve the game after making anywhere between $1 million to $3 million in sales...And that was over a year ago and sales including Dynasties most likely helped boost sales even more. There is always room for improvement for any game, but to simply abandon it is rather insulting.

I hope people are still playing the game. I checked Steam and I have over 300hrs with this game..haha. I use radious mod pretty much with all Total War games. 

That said I've playing for specific ways in order to gain more achievements. 

That leads to my next idea, the Akhenaten legacy. I think after merging the first two gods in order to create the Aten, after every new "God slot" another god (or goddess) can be added or merged. Plus a new slot for a general's devotion. (up too at least 3 General's maybe 4 if the player controls the city of Akhenaten).

Curious what factions others play and how many hours do they spend playing the game.
