My god based map.

Ok, im making this map, it's not going to be anything groundbreaking but hopefully fun to play. There are two teams, each has one god and the other players try to help the god defeat the other. Here are the things im going to put into it:

1. Followers build things and can worship.
2. Houses make workers
3. Workers get gold and wood.
4. Temples convert workers to worshipers.
5. Worshipers worship at temple or a monument to give your god mana.
6. With this mana the god can cast spells, give units, and give resources.
7. Gods have pillars of life, these are what keeps the god alive.
8. Sacrificing is possible at the Sacrificial temple, more mana given to god.
9. If your god isn't treating you right you can trade sides.
10. Alignment will change depending on what you do to/for your village.
11. Some spells can only be cast by evil gods, and some to good gods.
12. Evil spells are much more powerful than good, but you risk a lot getting evil.
13. If you kill a follower, all of the workers under his/her control will attack your pillar.
14. Some spells will not be told, you just have to look at what happens in the map.
15. Nearly everything you can see happen on the map, most likely the god can do it.
16. Natural disasters can occur.
17. You can build a training hut to convert workers into warriors, priests, or minions.
18. Some spells/natural disasters can have side effects on your village.

I haven't started yet cuz i still wanna think of more ideas, if you have any please post.

Actually, that is a great Idea, my only suggestions involve changing the layout of the map which I dont think u will, be here goes anyway!!

One thing, dont have worshippers AND sacrifices... Have one or the other, because one will end up being better, and the other one will be neglected, so I suggest just one, other than that... Great Idea

Hello

Sounds like a hybrid of populous and black and white.

I did something similar in the past but did not finish because I didnt have a concrete idea on what to do.
If you need help, I could do triggers and some trigger-enhanced spells.

Mind if I kinda steal the idea and do another version myself? I just have some magnificent ideas.

I dont mind you using the idea unless it's a total rip off, cuz what's to stop you, the same thing happened with TD's and AoS.

And the sacrifice is there so that if the god needs quick mana, the problem is it takes away a person, and each house can only make 4-8 people depending on the size. And it does not replesnish after one dies, and people will grow older, only workers, and possibly die, from disease or age.

Oh yeah, i almost forgot, what should the name be? so far i have Monotheism and Armageddon.

I changed my mind on something, only worshipper can worship
or otherwise the triggers for a single temple would take forever.
EDIT- I changed another thing, you worship at your gods pillar of life not at the temples, temples are just to convert worshippers.

Seems original and cool enough. It would be cool if you could use fireballs like in B&W, like a artillery.

Theres actually this game, not out yet, you can get a demo from Gigex, games called Heaven & Hell, Its exactly like what you want your map to be like from the sound of things. So, just a suggestion, if you'd like some ideas download the demo. Just a thought

You read my mind. I love BOTH games, and if Banana can successfully get this to work, I will love 3 games!

What's wrong with having worshippers and sacrafices? When I'm desperate in Black and White, I kill one of my worshippers for hella lots of power. :D

THANKS ALOT ELECTRICALL! WITHOUT YOUR SUGGESTION I WOUDN"T HAVE EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT THROWING FIREBALL'S!
I've gotten you to be able to scroll back and forth to change momentum, and press esc to release the fire ball, and the faster you moved it the farther it goes! Now all i need to do is give it an arch, hmmmm, this might be hard for me.

And yeah i have played the heaven and hell demo, it gets a little annoying though...

BUT YAY FOR THROWING FIREBALLS!

If you want to see my fire ball test so far i am going to post it, note there will be no arch in it's launch.

If you know how to make the arch in it's launch plz help!
You can check out the triggers and see what im doing wrong with the arch.
