I need a background story (or even just a context) for my map.
-It's a 12 players risk-like map with a TONS of units of all kinds available. And all players can make all units!

I should invent a story that includes Elves, Orcs, Demons, Skeletons, Humans, Suicide Taurens, Meat Wagons, Sasquatches, acolytes and many others!!!

There are no heroes, players have nothing in common except the builders (peons), and the map looks different on every corner!

(I also need a title...)

I attached some images, so you can understand what mainly the map and the control points look like.

Title: Tournament of Darkness

Story: A sinful and insane god was cast down from the skies by his brethren. Seeking revenge, he cast the greatest creations of his brothers and sisters into a great arena: mortals. Within this dark and terrible arena, each of the races must unite or stand alone and conquer all others in order to surivive and return to their homes.
 
The strangest thing is, you managed to invent a story that makes sense!
What can explain this mess? A god gone crazy! Of course!

Though I don't like much the concept of "races who try to return home".
In this map races aren't really separated.
 
Name : Massacre of Good and Evil
Name 2 : Warcraft 3's Last Massacre
Name 3 : Every Man for Himself !

Story : A dark curse has been putted on the living and undead creatures on the world. The reason for that curse is that they keep fighting and fighting and never stop. "There will is now there own ! They will fight untill none will survive. Let this be the end of all live and undead life, of mortals.", said the strange force that putted this curse.
 
Well, me too, Joss. Sooner or later I'll give you Rep (but first I want to squeeze your mind some more).

The fact is that not ALL the warcraft world is there, just a part of it. And the part that is there is pretty weird.
I included units as the "stealthy bitch" with windwalk, the "elven grenadier", the "suicide tauren"... And many different enemy players could choose them as their primary units!

So, yes, maybe a random story like "FORM AN ALLIANCE OR DIE!" would be good.
I just need a solid reason for the strange alliances.

(I'm still using the idea that a crazy God created the Arena)
