For centuries the frogs have lived in cities built in the shallow waves near the country of Acria. The men of Acria used to hunt the frogs, and the frogs would now and then come ashore to kill and steal from the men. Eventually the Acrians formed an empire, and the king of Acria signed a peace treaty with the frogs.
Hundreds of years have passed, and the frogs are living in poverty and suffer from overpopulation. They can only live on land or shallow water, and the Acrians have forbid them to move ashore. It wasn't long before the frogs declared war on Acria. Within a few months they had taken nearly the entire island. The Acrian army surrendered, and the frogs built a new capital city. An old wizard from the Acrian port town of Crux was tired of living under their rule. And so, alone, he set off to the capital city to kill the king.

Just what I have so far for a concept. When I get around to it I'll hopefully be making this with a friend in Blitzmax. What do you guys think? I'm all super open to ideas at this point too.
