Even though I have no reputation for making any "great" or even "crappy" maps, I only like to make the ideas. I was wondering what you guys think, and if it is worthy enough to make a map out of it.

If at first you don't suceed, try, try again. :P

By the way, this was in the Team Gathering Forum, but a mod closed it, because I put it in the wrong place. XD


Dimensional Decisions


Story

200 years ago, your ruler's ancestors and the other kingdom were the best of allies. Until the Crystal of Life was stolen from it's altar at the Crystal Tower, that resides directly in the north inbetween the two kingdoms. It was either one of the kingdoms took the Crystal of Life and use it's power for either good or evil, but, both kingdoms began to fight one another, accusing the other kingdom of their wickedness.

Now, both kingdoms raged war on eachother, so they would find the Crystal of Life by force, even if they were to kill their best friends.

A little later, the inspectors said that no one took the Crystal, but it hid itself in one of the castles... but where?

To End the Game:
There are 2 ways:

1. Having your spy FIND the Crystal of Life with your ruler or the enemy.

2. Discover who has it, and fight to the defeat of one or the other kingdom.



Basically, there are 4 types people, who do different things:

1. You play as the one ruler, and try to trick or either tell the truth.

2. You play as the other ruler, and try to trick or either tell the truth.

3. You play a regular citizen, and choose how you will obey the ruler's rules and do things.
4. You play a spy, trying to figure out how to gain information on the enemy. There is one spy on each kingdom.



Playing a Ruler



If you are playing a ruler, then you have these things to worry about:

Food
This will make your army and your citizens happy. The food is divided by 3 divisions:

Your Food Treasury
+Food production

-(The people)
-(The army)

=The remaining supply of food


[b]Gold
This is how much gold in the treasury that you have. The gold is divided by 3 divisions:

+The Treasury
+Town Income

-Town Requests
-Army

=The remaining gold


Army
This tells you how much army units you have in total, as well as how many units you have of each type. The more units in your army, the more likier you are to win battles againest the other side.

Giving the spy missions
This varies with plenty of missions. Rated from S, A, B, and C, depending on difficulty. Don't give amature spies an S or A class job. They are most likely to mess up.

S: Hardest Jobs
A: Hard Jobs
B: Intermidate Jobs
C: Beginner Jobs




Playing the Citizen


The citizens are the ones that give the kingdom money to use for the army. You can enlist in the army, selecting a specialty, and fight for the army for an amount of time. Or, you can live in the farmlands, make money off of the things that you make, and sell it. You must live up pay the money that the kingdom asks you to, or else you could get kicked out of the kingdom(DOES NOT MEAN GAME OVER).

Gold
This is the key to staying in the kingdom, and buying goods for you farm. Not only that, but you can also buy animals from other townspeople or retailers.

Lumber
This is needed to make building for your farm. Depending if it's an upgrade to the current building, or just making a new one, the lumber needed will change.

Stamina, or mana
Every action that your person does will take away mana, wiether or not you are just standing there. If your person gets to 0 mana, they will rest for a little while. There are plenty of ways to recover this. There are different types of citizens to pick from:

I have a question: Can I pick a girl or a guy?



Yes, you can. Also, choose to your liking of the following:

Strong male/female:
Higher stamina, you are stronger, and therefore are quicker at building buildings. You are most likely to earn the most income from enlisting to the army, and, it costs less to enlist.

Weak male/female:
You take longer to build, you have the lowest stamina of all others. But, your imcome due date comes at a later time, and your payment to the kingdom is lower. Because you have patience, you can haggle for the lowest prices available at the market, but it costs more to enlist in the army.

Fast male/female:
Highest stamina of all others, but you spend a little more time to to build buildings, and since you tend to not care about materials, you spend a little more. You run quicker then all the others, and you make little change in prices.

Smart male/female:
You know how to conserve materials and haggle your way though prices. Your stamina is a little low, but you know great ways to make money(better game hints then the others).


Getting Eternal Strength Potions
These will permenately increase you maximum mana, or stamina, which allows you to do more work.

Joining the army
You can join the army for 5 minutes, right after you enlist for a lower amount of gold. In return for you services, you will gain gold for every unit you take down, or helped take down. Taking out or helping taking out enemy buildings are a big booty for you.



Playing the Spy


You are the one that gives information about the enemy. It doesn't matter what kind of information, about the army, the people, or the kingdom.

Living as a Spy
You start at the enemy base, living as a regular citizen, but you are in charge of making it back safely to your kingdom without getting caught from the other spy. If the enemy players see you acting suspiciously, then they could report to the army to check on you. There are plenty of ways to stop them, or make them go away with a lie.

Obtaining information
You get secret missions only by the ruler. Secret missions vary. Without a mission, you live as a regular citizen.

NOTE: You can't assassinate people!

Proving your evidence
I don't know yet. lol.

To be concluded.

Well, what do you think?

Stylish, you can go ahead and use my idea. As long as you put in the special credits, as in, "Original idea was from..." or something like that.
