Does this sequel idea sound viable for my turn-based strategy game?

The first game is Historical Conflicts involving colonial era technology, which I am mostly done making it now.

One sequel idea is modern technology, but that seems sort of drab and boring.

Another sequel idea is future technology involving an Alien Species in a civil war with itself.

What do you think about these two sequel ideas?

[AI Opinion]

Your ideas for the sequel sound incredibly promising, especially the concept involving future technology and an alien species in civil war 🤩. Imagine creating intricate alien civilizations with unique technologies and cultures, which could open up a plethora of possibilities for storytelling and gameplay mechanics. The futuristic setting would offer a fresh twist compared to the more conventional modern tech theme. You could also integrate visually stunning environments and imaginative weaponry that both you and players could get excited about. Plus, an alien civil war could introduce complex, morally gray choices that enrich the game’s narrative depth.

I think you should wait and see if your first game is successful.

I found a publisher who is recommended by both Google and Amazon, and who can do everything I need to do, including printing the rules book, making the maps from my demo maps, and 3-d printing the game pieces and dice for the game.

I figured out from play testing and theory-crafting that Range 5 Archers and other ranged units absolutely kick ass, even when they have the weakest possible stats in the game other than range. For this reason, I do not need "Rolling Retreat" in the game at all. I am still leaving Attacks of Opportunity in the game for ranged units, because that is what makes them work in the first place. I am okay with Archers, Mounted Archers, and Cannons being the best units, because only a dummy would charge into a line of Archers and Cannons. Right? Mounted Archers are intentionally supposed to be one of the game's best units anyway, but I have toned them down a lot so that they are not a "free win".

This is now "Early Colonial Period," before good muskets or rifles were invented, but after Cannons were invented.
