I am a survival genre junkie on Warcraft III and have some ideas to throw off the top of my head.

The Story
You are a lowly peasant who has just enjoyed a temporary era of peace after the defeat of the orcish horde that entered your lands through the dark portal. Now plague has spread throughout the land and with it your doom. Survive the scourge and the summoning of the legion.

The Map
1. Lordaeron City and the smaller towns around it.
or
2. Lordaeron City only.

Overview
Now for the game itself players will be given control of one human peasant. They will be able to construct both units and defenses in the area of their choice. They must race against the clock to prepare themselves for the Burning Legion, or destroy the scourge before it ever happens.

Survival will probably be a balance of both defenses and units. Players will have the option of battling the AI scourge that is spreading through their land or attempt to defeat Archimonde once he is brought into the world.


I will continue to add onto my original post when time allows. What does everyone else think about this?

Sounds cool and make a large city in the center but 70% of the map should be woods/farmland, then 10% for the large city and 20% for scattered towns and villages. Give people lots of room for build bases and make sure its not clustered. Epic size map. If you want your map to be good you'll need custom models and icons and such.

Nice idea, just make it original, thats all :p maybe adding some world events and making the buildings very different from other survivals. You could also add to make it more difficult something like grain infestations, so you have to protect your crops an warehouses from the plague + you have to farm the food yourself.
