Not happy with the last few attempts with map ideas, I am going to go back to an idea, Fisherman's Quest (Which died), that had a lot of momentum and support a year back or so. But I will be adding a few ideas and thoughts to this idea. It depends on the comments posted here, on what the game will end up being, so hopefully a lot of ideas can come out of this. Map name: To be determined. (Comments of map idea welcome.) Creator: Azhag Summary: -Basically it is like a Farming map. You have a peasant who has a farm, and needs help making money. He makes money by growing crops and selling them. He can also have farm animals.. etc etc.. things you would see on a farm. So far, I am wondering what a good point to the map should be. This can be made here. I have one idea what a good purpose of the map could be, but I would still like some ideas and thoughts on what it should be. My Idea: Farming, with an addition to an war type of map. You make a farm, generate money, and use that money to help fight off an invasion against a computer. You control all your units and such, and you generate the money. You fight against a computer controlled player, and win the war against them. Up to 6 players fighting against 6 different computers, first to defeat their computer first, wins. I was also thinking, I could make it a huge map, and have multiple game-play options, that the players can vote for in the beginning of the map. Another idea would be to make it like my old idea: Fisherman's Quest, and make it like... build your farm, grow crops, buy and make animals, sell crops, and make money... and the player with the most money at the end of a time-limit wins. Team: * Azhag Misc: I will definatly need any critizism and ideas to help. If it gets good enough, maybe a team will be created. Thanks for any ideas, thoughts, and even negative critizism. |

what about a "king of the farm" style, u have ur farm, make money, and try to kill/steal other farmers animals, burn their crops, houses, always protecting ur farm? That would be funny as hell xD But it should be a small and fast-win map, i dont think people would like play farm tycoon in warcraft... |

Sure... Great idea. Like I said, any ideas and critizism is welcome and needed. That could be added to the voting in the beginning of the game. |

Needs hitmen to kill people. And rent-a-cops to try and stop em. Maybe witches/priests to curse/bless farms. Just ideas to keep the game going, as apposed to just waiting for the harvest season. EDIT: Actually, these would work better in a PvP style map... |

Just have it simple, no invasions. First farmer to get X resources wins. Farmes can sabotage the enemies by using their own resources to lid their fields with fire etc. |

So what does everyone think of it so far? As early as asking that is, I would like some opinions on the actual idea. |

i can help u with terrain but only if: -The map triggers are totally finnished -Basic terrain done ( i mean, a creppy river where u want a river, simple awful mountains where u want mountains) Im very busy at this moment with school and i cant work in something that will be trashed, due to my lack of freetime. Im not being rude, its just that nobody wants to spend time in doing a project that wont be released. |

It has been more then 48 hours, so I am going to double post the Updates. Updates: -It is going to be a Farming map, where you build your farm, sell your crops, buy and sell animals, have the animals mate and reproduce. The objective is to get the most gold at the end of a certain amount of time, decided at the beginning of the map. -Pillage, steal, and otherwise plunder your opponents. Set their farm on fire, to set them back a little... but be careful, being hostile towards other farmers might go towards your disadvantage. Steal their crops, and sell them for yourself. And on the occasion, steal an animal or two... but be careful, sometimes the animals can warn your opponents, and catching them is a hard task. For a random cost between each mercenary, you can find and hire a Mercenary to help you defend and attack your opponents. Poison the grass your opponents animals eat, which has a chance to kill the animal, or get it really sick. -Buy animals to help you produce product. Help them grow and become bigger, and then sell them for more then you bought them for. -Animals require food right? Feed your animals as they have hunger... the more hungry your animal gets, the worse its health is. You have two ways of feeding your animals, letting them eat the grass... or bring them into your farm, and have them eat animal food. Animals like cows eat regularly, so you have to keep them well fed. -Plant things like corn, and wheat. Grow them big, and sell them for cash. -Weather system. When it rains it pours right? When it rains, the grass your animals eat grows. Rain helps your crops grow too. But they can't grow without that good old sun, dare I say it.... Photosynthesis. -Create your own fence that you hold your animals in. You can make it go any direction, and then you can place a gate to enter and exit through. But be careful, making fences costs money. More to come soon... Post your thoughts. ~Azhag |
