Unique Game Idea: Brainstorm and define a hook that sets this game apart, a twist on the tower defense formula (e.g. narrative element, unusual mechanic, procedural maps).

The idea in short
You have a base. Mummy waves attack it from outposts on the map. You place towers to defend, as normal.
But every mummy that dies near an outpost feeds it. The outpost absorbs the fallen and produces stronger, faster enemies over time. If you purely turtle, the waves eventually outscale your towers no matter how well you build.
So you have to go on offense. You recruit soldiers and send them to attack and capture outposts. Capturing one stops that wave source and unlocks a new section of the map, which contains new resource nodes, new outposts, and tougher enemies.
Resources come from captured nodes automatically — no micromanaging miners. Gold funds both towers and soldiers. You are constantly deciding whether to spend on static defense or mobile offense.
When a soldier dies in the field, nearby outposts get a small power boost. So sending in one soldier at a time is punished. You have to commit.
The loop is: survive the wave, push out and capture an outpost during the breather, place new towers to cover the expanded perimeter, survive the next wave which is now coming from a different direction, repeat.
