I like off-the-wall kind of ideas. I was playing Omerta: City of Gangsters the other day and thought of a couple interesting mod ideas. In case you don't know, Omerta is a tactical Mafioso game, basically.
Omerta Mod Idea 1: Modern Mafioso Business Simulator
Imagine you take the prohibition era out of it and upgrade everything to modern day type stuff? Instead of the brewery and speakeasy you'd have the meth lab and the crackhouse. I just think it would a funny mod to go along with the nifty gameplay that would mesh well.
Omerta Mod Idea #2: Omerta 2: Yakuza Blues!
This could work as a simple mod, but it would be kind of a neat actual sequel game to the original game. Have the mod/sequel set in the Edo period with you playing as a growing Yakuza family. Replace the breweries and speakeasies with sake brewers and gambling halls. Replace the Soup Kitchen with a Buddhist Monastery and the Labor Union with a Merchant Guild (za).
The baseball bat could be replaced with a kanabo (the big bracketed clubs), the sniper rifle could be replaced with a bow and arrow, the shotgun could be replaced with an arquebuse (matchlock musket). Still don't really have a good idea for the dual revolvers and tommy gun, yet for replacements. Maybe replace the revolver, which have a two-shot attack with shuriken (one in each hand) and the tommy gun with a handful of senbon ('ninja throwing needles') and just have them comically hurl the needles in a group.
Another mod thought I had was for Crusader Kings 2. It would be awesome to have a legit samurai themed thing for it (you expect this kind of idea because of the username by now, yes?). We got Sengoku, but it's kind of like Crusader Kings: Lite. I think it would be awesome to have Korea, China, Thailand, etc. playable on the map; even have it set in the Sengoku period. The Europeans have bases in the Philippines and the like. You could split Japan up into sections: Kyushu, Shikoku, Choshu (Western Honshu), Hokuriko (North Honshu), Kinai (Around Kyoto), Kanto (Eastern Honshu), and Oshuu (Northern Honshu), and maybe the northern-most island of Hokkaido as well.
Or I'd settle for just a sengoku themed Crusader Kings using Sengoku's map. I've seen mods like this in Sengoku, but like I said...Sengoku is basically Crusader Kings: Lite and lacks a lot of the cooler features one gets used to after playing Crusader Kings II, especially with the expansion DLCs like Sword of Islam, The Old Gods, and The Republic or whatnot.
Those are my ideas off the top of my head and only two out of the three were samurai. Go me for thinking outside the box! Haha.
