No Name Project/ Jurassic Park WC3 style

[ElegantPro]

Basically I decided to begin on a project that is like Jurassic Park in WC3. It is a survival game with random spawning zergs, who will come and try to kill you.


Storyline is:
The mighty terran 6th Guard Army has crash landed upon the island of Albaga. Stranded, and with no way of getting out, the survivors began to explore and scavenge from the landscape. They soon found the encampment of the Zealots of Peace, a tribe of Protoss which has been stranded here for 50 years. They allied the Protoss in hopes of getting saved. Unfortunately another race inhabited the island. The Zerg on Albaga are savage. They attack anything and everything they see that could be a snack. This is what lead the Zealots of Peace and the remnants of the 6th Guard Army to ally. And just whan all hope seemed lost, a transmission came to their Cruiser. It was the commander of their platoon. They would be saved!

Now all they have to do is survive.....


So what I would like is for some brainstorming/suggestions. What would you like for me to add in the game. Also help me find a name

Zerg units:
Zerglings: Small fast moving units. Spawn Regularly
Hydralisk: Medium sized units with ranged attack.
Ultralisk: Huge and strong. This unit delivers quite a punch. Thankfully, only a few spawn around the map.
Roach: Medium sized unit with melee attack. Attack fast.

Overlords - fly around and spawn Creep. This version can spawn Creep even while moving.
If such dies, he spawns a bunch of Broodlings, who are weak, but there are lots of them.

Infestor - medium melee unit. at low health explodes, covering area around him with Creep and spawning a bunch of Broodlings

Larva - tiny targets with Cloak (like they are small and very hard to see). If 5 or 7 Larva bite a Terran, he turns into Infested Terran.

Queen - a kind of boss with 3 phases.
100%-66% hp - stands back and spawns Larva, like Carrier. Also heals her adds.
66%-33% - Spawns an army of Broodlings and charges into combat.
33%-0% - releases waves of Creep every 5 seconds or so.
Through whole fight she creates areas of Creep at random points in like 12 range.



Terran that step on Creep after two seconds turn into Infested Terran.
Protoss that die on Creep turn into several Larva



Hope this helps.

When they release the game - KAKADU is pterodactyl

Speaking of which, I wonder which zerg from which critter mutated?

Kakadu -> Mutalisk
Ursadon -> Ultralisk

Thanks a lot Trillium, I'll most likely use the Queen and its 3 stages. The creep idea is nice, and I might use it, although not in the same way as you said it. Maybe it could lower life over time.
