THis is kinda a LoaP type thing........... but.......... Its also not.........

This map is about one unit living through numerous dangers through very simple powers

The Dangers that would Exsist
-GOD-This one I'm still thinking about... I'm thinking sometimes it will be random, where you will lose the game for no reason... or win the game for no reason..... or maybe you win the game if you kill other people.... and they lose the game... and everything ends..... so its more about making the game last as long as possible while still making things interesting...
-Desiese-Desieses will come once in a while.... and your gunna figure out a cure... or stay clean... or something....
-Slavery-People will throw nets at you at try to catch you and make you into a slave
--If you become a slave you must tell your unit to continously attack rocks, pick up corpses and drop them off at the temple... or enslave other people.... and you need to look for a way to escape..... the perfect oppertunities....
-hunger-You'll have to periodicly


Your powers...
-You have no collision size...
-Hide-I don't want invisibility... theres just not gunna be extended sight....
-Eat-You will constantly lose mana.... if you lose mana... you lose speed.... if you get too much mana.... you'll gain a "fat" ability.... which also makes you lose speed.....

Talking Spell book
-Threaten-This is pretty much a charm ability on low level units without pride
-Appease-Give a Unit something in your backpack and you make them your ally..... unless
-Ask for help-Potentially make them an ally

-You can work with different items to make different invetions as well...
--Rope is made from Weeds which you basically tie togethor to make something stronger
--Stick + Obsiden + Rope = Spear



Theres certain units also have different AI
-Greed-If you have a high Level item equiped or have a giant backpack
--Depending on how confident they are they will try and get it....
---They'll do it through Trade, Aggression or stealth while your not looking
----You can Talk them out of it/give them a different item, Beat em up or run away quickly

-Pride-They will not back down from a fight
-Tenacity-They will follow you endlessly... though they may not do anything....
-Worryless-If they "think" they have a stronger ally.... they're not going to be intimidated
-Self doubt-They don't think they can win so they don't go for it
-shy-They will try to stay away from you or others if they don't feel comfertable (food)
-flaky-They never know who the better person is so they just hop from one to the next


Your main goal is to enslave the entire map....
-Can do it with everyone else...
-Can fight over everyone....

THe fighting system will feature a mix of small blowback spells and defense spells
As well as Others like Bow and Arrow, Sheild, And if you find the stuff... gun powder and Crude oil Flamethrowers....


Make boats....
-Make oil Tankers....
-Cruise ships....

Make buildings....


But you just tell people to do it....
-You just sit back and relaxe....................................

And worry about the dangers....


THis map is still in concept....
And seems so huge I would wait for Starcraft 2 to even think about starting.........
So.......
Say your ideas and extras.............................

But... Keep in mind....
I don't really plan on completing or starting it....
Unless I know this project is worth the hassle.........

Hmmmm, seems like a sweet map but I agree a ridiculus amount of work. Especially the AI part. The rest of it seems simple if tedious and large.

So is this like a slavery LOAP and you are supposed to become the untimate boss Slave master or. . . something else?

Yep...
-You create Alliances...
-You escape Other enslavement...

But you also have to worry about a LOT of things...
-GOD
-Desiese...
-Other Races

Do... its a mix of survival and enslavement...
WHile THe fighting system would be very quick and instinctual...

eh... I'm not to worried about realism...
So long as the basic concepts are there....

Also... Since people will be able to move out of the way of spears and arrows (though arrows are faster)....
-Sword swipes will leave you invulnerable

I don't think realism will be much of an issue

It is intersting...original.
But I think that there are a lot of things there in the list you won't actually do, or want.
I think that the building feature must be very poor and basic.
And do an AI across all the map is a hard work.
If you do every single feature there, it's gonna be hard and tedious.
But I can't say much, you know that my map is a bunch of work as well.

Unless I get a team...
And even then I'm not sure how worth doing it is...
