SHEEP: Lords of the Land

SHEEP: Lords of the Land is a game idea of mine, it is basicly a tag map but with MANY more options and innovations. Let me explain it then you can rate it :)

SHEEP: LOTL will be like this.

Two teams, one central "You got TAGZORED" area, and each team is even. You heard me, even! No "Taggers" team! BOTH Are "Taggers" teams! Because, heres how it will be.

Every player has a Sheeplord, a large golden sheep with some SFX attached for added coolness. All Sheeplords start in the center, and bail all over the place to find a good spot to set up shop. They can build, and have NO ATTACK. Now, the building they build is the Sheep Castle, and Sheep can be built from here and then those sheep have the "graze" ability, which for every sheep a player has he gets income. Anyways, and another building the Sheeplord builds (after castle is built) is the Sheep House, which trains Warrior Sheep, these Warrior Sheep can attack (not much damage, so no 1-hit-tags on Sheeplord's) and can use "Set Sheep Trap" ability that sets a trap for opposing Sheep passing through. The Sheeplord can NOW build a Sheep Cannon that is basicly a short-range tower, and a Sheeplord Statue, that contains the Warrior Sheep upgrade Power Sheep, and the Grazing Sheep upgrade "Greener Grass" that upgrades gold intake!

When the Sheeplord is killed, all of your sheep and buildings dissapear and you are sent to the middle "You got TAGGED!" area and a teammate must rescue you!

The objective is to kill the other teams Sheeplord's and stop them from rescueing eachother!

The terrain will be very pretty and different, not just flat grass and a couple trees scattered around. Custom icons will be added, and maybe a custom minimap image. (Someone can help me with custom minimap image? I figured a way to put one in but it is also the minimap image IN-GAME, so that won't work :( (I have FT))

How do you like the idea? Could it work? I am sure during development stages a few ideas will change, like maybe, hay-blocker or something to slow down enemy progression.

Watcher think? Vote AND Reply please :)

I think most people will disregard it as stupid because of the sheep, you may want to use something besides sheep, blizzard overdid it a little.
