I thought of this idea a while back. Nothing spectacular, but just during the time I cultivate my Iron Chef game idea...
I am thinking of 2 possible scenarios for the game. First, a 'World War 4' apocalyptic setting (after Albert Einstein's quote), Where basically the only weapons you have are really sticks, stones, pipes, slingshots, etc. The most advanced weapon you can probably have is a bow and arrow, which you would learn to make after gaining experience. You could have things like boulders which you would have to push downhill, you could probably use horses as well.
The other scenario would be prehistoric earth, the Neanderthals vs. the Cromags. Neanderthals are stronger, but have simpler weapons. Cro mags have more "advanced" weapons, but physically weaker. Much of the same weapons, maybe a mammoth or two ;)
Gameplay would be along the lines of Capture the Flag, Capture and Hold, Attack and Defend, etc. It might work better as a mod of Tribes or another game...
