New (I think) Map Idea

This is a map I was starting to create then stopped, now I'm back for another try.

Map Name: Battle for -----

Concept: In some land far far away there are three armies that are battling over the land, which has bases of great power. These 3 countries want these outposts of power, and will do anything to get them out of enemy control.

Map Ideas: If any of you have played Planetside this is what I'm thinking of.
Bases
- There are 6 bases on each map
- Bases serve as respawn points and are vital to your survival in the game.
- Each base is designed differently for a bit of variety and strategy in attacking it
- Capturing a base is quite difficult, as you need the right abilities to get the Power Stone from a base. Then the person with the Power Stone must return to a close random base of his own, without dying.
- If the carrier is to die, the stone is dropped and either an ally, or enemy may pick it up.
- If the enemy picks it up, the capturing of the base is stopped and it is returned to normal
- If the Power Stone is returned to the selected base the carrier's team now owns the base and can respawn there

Player Hero
- Every unit in the game is a hero
- There will be a very small password system for restoring their Rank, Level, Skills, and Allegiance.
- Equipment is in the forms of upgrades. One equipment upgrade per level.
- Teams have their own equipment, strengths, and weaknesses

Ranks
- Ranks are different then Level, and are much more important.
- Ranks enable you to used special abilties that are unique to higher ranking people
- Higher Ranks allow you access a commanders area, where they can obtain vehicles, special weapons and equipment, and even reinforcements.
- Ranks are earned not just by destorying every thing in sight randomly, but by capturing bases, getting kill streaks, and helping team members.

Other Things
- If a battle is unbalanced, due to no team members of a group ( Say there are no Blue team members, and 4 red and 4 green ) Either Blue will be excluded from the battle, or the bases will go neutral and blue will defend them.

Those are my ideas for the map. Either in a few hours or tomorrow morning I will be posting a demo of what I plan for this game. When It is released, I would REALLY LOVE comments!8))

Edit: Changed and Updated Information
