Need Ideas

ok Im makin a new map i dono what to call it rite now but thats not the problem.. well any ways my map is gonna be an over seas land battle.. each player starts off with one island with 1 gold mine on it.. they will start off wit 3 workers to start a town. well the problem is that i dont no what units to make like ships or somethign. well idono.. can u plz just post ideas on what u no and think i should do.

so the only thing u DO know is that it's gonna be a naval war map ?
well, no hard feelings but u don't even know whats your map all about :)

ok, i suggest adding shipyards to build lists, and the problem is partialy done....all u have to do is to make ships/boats/whatever trainable instead of buyable, and u've got u'rself a nice, dull, booring map with 3 kinds of units fighting all over it...
so u need custom heros, custom skills, custom units, and problably the hardest thing, custom ships....the Batleship/Frigate/Transport wont do it for a naval war map....

Yeah, all the standard ships could be done.
And you can also make a giant turtle where heroes/units can travel while in his stomach. %P

A naval war map could be interesting, but imo it would be better if it wasnt just a melee map with ships, make the objective/game scenario more interesting. Also if you add a lot of custom strategic elements, allowing for people to play on other ships strengths etc would work well.
If you were gona do this Illd probably make the ships move/fire twice as slow to allow for easier controll.

no its both ships can only attack other ships not buildings or anything and u need to have an army to defeat other players on the other islands
and i think im gonna add a place where its a sacred place that gives u internal power but u have to get by there defences. but this is only the first beta version so i mite change some things

how bout making custom heros that are ships and can be beefed up by finding items for them on islands? there could be an island in between 2 players and whoever got there first could get the item, and the ship could gain levels and such as its a hero. mebby some special abilities like "magic cannon" which fires an extra large cannon round at another ship to do extra damage? i already see tons of possiblities here...
hell, heres an idea: you could make it a naval style AOS map... :)
might be fun.
anyways, good luck.

hmm that would be strange a hero boat... well thats not a bad of an idea

ok ill explain 1 island.. 1 island is connected for 2 players but theres like a valley so theres 2 mountains then trees in the middle... so they would have to fight for the land or become allies.. also they cant climb the mountain...

ive put alot of work into it recenctly. it seems pretty fun if u like history war game. but any way i need more melee units to add in my map. also i need help thinking about heros. well ive got all the boats islands and most of the buildings finished..

1 mor thing i added that no map has is a terrority that u can only build in and expand it well i think its a great idea.. cuz u have to build tents to start a new city..
