Lego Warcraft would be soooo cool...

I was thinking about the effort a large scale castle minifig war would take,
and decided that having a Lego version of Warcraft (that wonderful Blizzard
game, go Canada!) would rock.

Imagine having your own army of dozens or hundreds of little Lego soldiers
scurrying around your screen, preparing to attack your buddies who are
playing against you over the Internet?  Send some guys to go scout the
territory, station some more sentries around your castles, build a few more
catapults, add another blacksmith shop to one of your castles, enlarge your
stables, move your king to a safer location, etc. etc.

The economics of the game could be based on harvesting timber (for weapons
and buildings) and metals (for more exotic weapons and buildings).

You could have maybe three types of forces (the equivalents of species in
Warcraft and Starcraft) -- Crusaders, Forestmen, and Fright Knights, all
with different types of units and buildings.  The Crusaders would be strong
and good fighters, the forestmen would be good at stealth and marksmanship,
the Fright Knights good at magic and dragon taming, etc.

Anyone other ideas?

(...) Eh? I know a few guys who used to work for Blizzard (on Diablo, Warcraft II, and the ill-fated Warcraft Adventures) and they will be surprised to know that they went to work in the wrong country! =] Tony (25 years ago, 14-Apr-00, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.gaming, lugnet.dear-lego)
