PHEONIX FRENZY

THE ARENA
Pheonix frenzy is an idea i have had for quite some time. The arena is around 60x60 and uses the dungeon tileset. In the middle, a giant firelord stands.

GAMEPLAY
The players play as his servants - pheonixes - and have to collect magma orbs around the arena and deposit them in their offering stone to aplease the firelord, and gain his favour. The pheonixes have 3 health and the blink ability. The firelord will give you other, special abilities if you have enough of his favour. They are used to kill the other players pheonixes and eventually win the game. The abilities have one charge and dont home in on targets.

ABILITIES
Blink - all pheonixes have this. It allows them to dodge the attacks of other pheonixes.
Firebolt - costs ten favour, dosent home in, slow, deals 2 damage, 1 charge.
Pyrobolt - costs fifteen favour, dosent home in, faster than firebolt, deals 3 damage, 1 charge

ITEMS
Magma Orbs need to be placed into the offering stones to gain favour.
Ash Potions return 1 health point to the pheonix.
Pyro-stone increases health by 1 point - rare spawn.

Do you have any comments, ideas, feedback or criticism? Do not be afraid to post if you do!

Responses:

if the lord of the arena is a firelord why don't u make the servants be lava spawns??

Makes sense really, but changing everything would take a long time. I may consider changing it or not - either way, your point is valid.

This is pretty awesome, can be fun and it gotta be easy to play, so it is certainly a nice map.
Maybe you can make it that it has teams, and a Phoenix can use Phoenix Tears ability, that can revive a dead Phoenix by a long channeling time(which can be reduced depending on the amount of channeling entities).
Also the ground whould be constantly exploding, with previous warning. Like...it shows an effect at a position and then 1 second later a pillar of flame appears, taking 1 life away. So players don't simply hide and collect favour points blindly.

Sounds nice and simple, but I might add a few more items so that the game play is a bit more varied:

Fireshield: Costs 5 favor points, absorbs one point of damage.

Lava Feather: Costs 5 favor points, does one damage to the first phoenix touched by phoenix that owns the feather.

Fireball: Costs 10 favor points. Deals 1 damage, slow, but will bounce off walls and will not disappear until it hits either a phoenix or the firelord.

Ashen Shield: 25 favor points. Absorbs 3 damage before it breaks.


Hope that helps, and good luck.
