features from other base-building games you'd want to see in a single game.

title says it all. if you can combine any feature from any other base building game you've played, what would those features be?

(note : you don't have to list every single game you've played. just list the relevant ones with features that you'd like to see combined into a single game, or you can just list features without naming a game at all.) 

anyways, i'll start with mine,:

-smart tactical battle system and AI. (rimworld)
-intricate zoning systems for stockpiles and AI zone behaviors (rimworld/gnomoria)
-z-levels (including z-level combat) (castlestory/gnomoria?)
-multiple squad formation and squad tactics (gnomoria)
-custom uniform assignments (gnomoria)
-intuitive, yet complex production lines and economy (gnomoria?) lol. not sure..
-destructible terrain during combat (rimworld/castlestory?)
-different biomes with different effects and resources. (terraria/minecraft)
-exploration (terraria/minecraft)
-rabbit-holes (sims medieval)
-complex redstone-type mechanics (terraria/minecraft)
-multiplayer battles (starcraft/warcraft)
-great art (craft the world, spacebase df9, maia) (not a fan of 8-bit/minimalist. i tolerate it for gameplay. but in the back of my head i keep asking myself. "why can't we have nice things?")

(note 2 : terraria,minecraft, sims medieval, starcraft/warcraft : aren't "base building" games. but i think some features are applicable.)

anyways, that's it for now on my list of features. what's yours?

Amen brother!

lol. i'm still searching/waiting for a base building game that has most, if not all of the features i'm looking for. (game suggestions are entirely welcome) 

but rimworld, hands down, has one of the best (if not THE best) tactical battle AI integrated to a base building game i've seen so far. the base colony management aspect and production/manufacturing aspect is also starting to look pretty good.

fun times.
