THIS IS NOT THE BLACK HOLE) 1) What Colour schemes should be used? Brenodi, Northen Faction, Mixture, Forums style 2) What should be the most prominent feature? Empires logo, Image etc 3) What sort of image would bring positive attention empires? 4) What features are the most important to empires? 5) What would influence you most in picking up a product off of the shelf? (answer 1-4 with 1 being most 4 being least) Colours Layout Images Slogans/Catphrases 6) Who would be the most likley person to buy empires? 7) What mood best captures empires?

1) What Colour schemes should be used? Brenodi, Northern Faction, Mixture, Forums style BE needs colour schemes of these forums. BSID forums have nice BE colours too. The bright red colours in the JPL logo are good for NF. I recommend Colorshade, an awesome program that helps you pick complementing colours and the like. 2) What should be the most prominent feature? Empires logo, Image etc ^Dee^'s logo that is currently used for Empires should be at front, and use a mix of ingame and trailer/gmod pics for the back. Example: Intense infantry versus vehicle combat keeps you on the tip of your seat. 3) What sort of image would bring positive attention empires? A true RTS/FPS hybrid. None of this "oh but the tanks are bots and some infantry is aswell, and you can only build on certain spots etc etc etc". 4) What features are the most important to empires? Teamwork, persistence and tactile insight. 5) What would influence you most in picking up a product off of the shelf? (answer 1-4 with 1 being most 4 being least) Colours 3 Layout 2 Images 1 Slogans/Catchphrases 4 6) Who would be the most likely person to buy empires? A flurry of gamers, ranging from young people (12-20) to veteran gamers (25+) who are interested in something new and refreshing. 7) What mood best captures empires? (Serious, Light, Funny, Heavy, Happy, Sad) Heavy. Not exactly super-serious (it's not exactly a realistic shooter) but you need to lay on the "HOLY SHIT I CAN CARPET BOMB HEAVY TANKS AND THEN DROPSHIP MY ASS ON SOME COOL ISLAND"-factor thickly. You can do a *lot* in this mod, all equally fun and awesome. 8) What sort of genre best describes Empires? (Sci-fi, Action etc) RTS/FPS hybrid 9) What sort of style would best portray Empires? (Modern, futuristic, traditional) Modern and slightly futuristic. Sure, there are no laser rifles, but plasma cannons, regenerative armor and tactical nukes are pretty modern. 10) What is the first image the word empires mod brings into your head? Several guys working together to keep off the enemy. NOTE: Maybe put the Empires map transparently as the background for the back cover?

I agree with Beerdude on most points except some slight changes. 6) Who would be the most likely person to buy empires? As Beerdude said any one looking for something new but the ones that will like it the most are seriouse gamers that like stratagie and group tactics. 7) What mood best captures empires?

Jeep off roading with phase three and "Wehres Da Ammos?!" for example. 8) What sort of genre best describes Empires? (Sci-fi, Action etc) I beleaved you ment what kind of fiction genre not game genre. In that case a realistic military Sci-Fi.

I understand that Trident, but I also had the impression this would be used as a boxart sort of thing for Empires itself. Sorry if that offended you, its hard to tell over the net, but it seems a little like I offended you.
