The War of the Gods.

The feud between the God of Good and the God of Evil has been going on forever, and has always been at a draw. Nothing has happened between these two gods and perfect balance has always been. The people of the earth worship both gods, as how the god where created. The amount of people worshiping the God of Good and the God of Evil has always been in a perfect balance as well. One day the God of Evil aquired an item, the item to tip the tide of this forever war. Now the balance has been shattered and the world is on brink of destruction. Who will win this forever war?

Okay now that I have your attention, lets get to the details on the map I am working on. Since Azhag's Creep Wars is near its completion, I have been thinking about game ideas for my next map, and here is one.

I know what your thinking when you hear a game called God something. One player gets utter and complete control over the game, thus uping his ego at a game. This game will have nothing to do with that. Two players will be able to be the God of Good and the God of Evil, but in a really controlled manner. Now lets get to the basics of the game.

First the Gods both have their "followers", the other players, but the other players don't have to kiss the Gods butt. In fact the players can do nothing to contribute to the God and still win the war. Each player will recieve at the beginning of the game, a few buildings. These buildings are just to get the neccesary resources reqiured in order to start construction on later buildings required for war. The players will only really need to harvest wood. The other resource that the players need to aquire is mana. Mana is bleak in this game and must be harvested instead of just regenerated. I am still thinking about how I would go about harvesting mana, thus your opinion is required. The mana is used for everything but building and producing units. Units are free in this game, but take time to build, a little more time then regular. I know, you might think this would be boring because of it, but since the units are free, and cost no food, you can produce as many as you wish. Now on to what the Gods do in this game.

The beginning in this is very similar to the "followers" beginning. You have the nessicary buildings to gather the resource needed for to keep the Gods alive. This resource is called "Ether". The Gods require "Ether" in order to basically live. There will accually be God units, that are powerful. But in order to use these Gods, you must summon them first. This is not an easy task. You can summon the Gods out only for about 2 mins, maybe more or less depending on the balance, then they return to their safe haven. The Gods can build buildings that can cast spells to help out allies or, hurt your enemies. These spell won't be over powered.
In order to win, you must destroy all of the opposing Gods "followers", like I said in the beginning, the Gods where created by worshipers, and if they have no worshipers, they cease to excist.

I will post a lot more detail on this idea later, depending on the posts givin.

Now that I have givin you the basis of my idea, some feed back would be adiquit. Post your suggestions, comments, give ideas, and hell even critisize the idea for my map.

..... bump. Hopefully someone will give me feedback.

i wanna see some screenshots!

Yes they will come, but I really wanted to get some feedback before I really drilling at this thing.

Hmm. It sounds okay, but it does not seem that fun. And it seems to me gods do not really do anything. I would hate to be a god in this.

On the contrary, the gods will be doing more then you thought. Maybe I didn't make myself clear. The gods will be doing more work then the "followers".
Let me make myself clear first, this won't be a unbalanced game where the gods run around and destroy everything. I am making it balanced. This is like an aeon game, where the players build the units and attack with them. Then the god players can also build units, to assist the "followers" and also fight in the war. The gods also can build spell buildings that can cast spells to either assist his allies, or damage his enemies. You don't just get the god unit, and can run around with him. With the spell building, the last spell is called "Call God of Good" or "Evil"... When the God is summoned he can only stay on the battlefield for like 2 mins, then returns to his safe haven.

Hopefully, I cleared myself.

So gods, bascily build fewer units that are stronger that are regular units, and cast spells? So they are just like a normal player but fewer+stronger units+spells? Hmm sounds good.

Alright Ill have the screenshots up soon.

LOLZ. I hope you're not planning to use "War of the Gods" as your map title....I'm already using it. XD

Okay a couple of things.
One: Don't revive 2 month old threads. (I have bolded and underlined this, because this is an infraction of the rules on this forum. It's called Necromancy.)
Two: I have ditched this idea because I didn't like the responses I got.
Three: My thread was made nearly 2 to 3 months earlier then yours. Please don't steal names, although I'm not doing the map and don't care at all in any way.
Four: Don't revive 2 month old threads. (I have bolded and underlined this, because this is an infraction of the rules on this forum. It's called Necromancy.)

Do I make myself clear?

Sorry, I didn't realize your thread was 2 months old, since I found this thread through the search....

Also, I didn't realize there were other ppl using the same name as my map, and for your information, my map is ALSO two months old....
