forest growing sead thingy.... =?

[dubbleD]

my idea is uhm...ive just got a simple techtree thought up but im not sure if its a good idea. this is all i have at the moment

you start off with a seed (like a ward unit type) which cant move. you can choose to make it transform into a walking seed (allows mobility).
from there on, you can grow buildings (like night elf wisps build ancients) and create a forest army

what do you think?

Sounds like it has potential. You'll need to make it more complex and maybe even develop a storyline.

uhm...ok....
what i was thinking b4 that was maybe turn it into like a tag or something....but then it would take a long time to learn to use it in a game....lol

hmmmm....whne you say story line, what do you mean by that?

 

[James7]

I mean have a storyline to go along with it.

Why are there seeds? Why are they at war? What are they fighting over? Who's their leaders? Just basic story stuff. I find it easier to emerge myself into a game when I know the history and backstory of the conflict.

 

[dubbleD]

ahh i see...

well i had a couple of ideas already on that
-one could be that their home forest was invaded by enemies and needed to restore the forest
-maybe they are protectors of the forest?
-bieng invaded (need to survive for [x] minutes) b4 backup
-related to the world of warcraft

 

[James7]

Yeah that could be cool.

Make the invaders be like fel orcs. They're good villains.

Do you have the map skillz to make this map?

 

[dubbleD]

i have tried. and i have read a few tutorials, but ill read some more too
but so far, ive got the imagination =)
