Suggestions to Micro-Wars (map not done yet)

Ignore the poll part, the poll is CLOSED. skip straight to the bottom-ish part.

Hi all it's MacMacNuggets here. I'm posting to ask for the general public's opinion. I've got three map ideas but I don't know what map to do first. I only have one day a week to use the computer for non-educational stuff. So I need to know which map idea is "the best" so I know what to focus on. I don't know how to make a poll so you have to post your votes as a comment.

Idea 1: God's Village
A hero and builder game that objective is to survive waves of creeps with the help of your god hero and soldiers and towers made by your village.

Idea 2: Micro-Wars
You control a colony or a single microorganism fighter that fights creeps or other micro-fighters to win. The game uses arrow key movement and hot key skill control.

Idea 3: Soulmate Dual RPG
A RPG game that objective is to infiltrate the Shadow Soul Fortress and destroy the enemies' Soul Sucker Machine. But before that, you must train you and your soul bonded pet or "daemon". Your daemon is linked to your soul and when it gets hurt, you get hurt and vice versa. It us like a 2 character RPG .

Together with your vote, also list why you chose that idea and what you look forward to see in the map in your post.

POLL CLOSED, MICRO-WARS WINS!!!

3 votes for Micro-Wars. Micro-Wars wins!!! *throws confetti into the air*

Since Micro-Wars EpIcLy THRASHED the other ideas, I shall go with it =)

Do you all have any suggestions to it?

Mech_Warrior · Mar 2, 2011

I personally like idea #2 the best.

Idea #1 sounds good also. Idea #3... well, I never really cared much for games like that, so I may be biased.

I'd go with idea #2 though.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 3, 2011

#2. Its like spore.

Nightblade · Mar 3, 2011

Idea 2.Hope it turns out well.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 5, 2011

Well make it like spore. You start small and get bigger. Im currently ADDICTED to it.

Nightblade · Mar 5, 2011

Spore rules.I lost my disc tho

In spore you can choose to be carnivore or herbivore.But can you make an additional option to be 'parasite'?If you agree then I can elaborate.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 5, 2011

Hmmm... Elaborate more. I don't play spore.

Nightblade · Mar 5, 2011

This stuff isnt in spore.

You can choose to infect any organism.Hosts have 2 characteristics:
a)Food
b)Immunity

Food Increases your numbers and immunity is the strength of the immune system.
You can also work with different 'races' of viruses.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 5, 2011

But my game is sort of a hero vs hero game so an you give me some ideas on how I can implement these?

I'm already making a game like spore.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

Wow I didn't know that Yayoi. Anyways my game isn't all like spore. My game is a hero vs hero game not a wilderness survival game.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

Any more suggestions?

GhostThruster · Mar 6, 2011

Take a look at my map, Hostile Territory (see sig). It has arrow-key movement, hotkey controls, and is open source.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

Is it in Jass?

GhostThruster · Mar 6, 2011

Everything, with the exception of custom scripts, is GUI.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

I'll take a good look at it then =)

Any more suggestions.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 6, 2011

How about these micro-things, they can merge with allies to be stronger.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

A brief summary on Micro-Wars
You start as a single level one Micro-Fighter. As you kill creeps or heroes, you level up and become slightly stronger. Everytime you kill another enemy Micro-Fighter, you gain one minion and half of the amount of minions the killed Fighter has (rounded down). If you are killed, you lose all your minions. A minion is a smaller duplicate of your self. The minion is a locust unit that does whatever you do. However, it does half your damage.

Your Micro-Fighter is controlled by arrow key movement and Hotkey spell control.

Your Fighter starts out as a circular microorganism with a level one stinger and a pair of legs and no minions.

You can upgrade your stinger to increase it's damage. When your stinger hits level 3, you can upgrade it to have a special ability example cell wall cutter or immobolizer. Max level of stinger is level 5 you can also buy another stinger/sell stingers. The number of max stingers you can have is determined by your Fighter's shape. You can also replace your stinger with different modes of weapons example shooting weapons and etc

You can also upgrade your Fighter's cell wall. Your Fighter starts with no cell wall. The cell wall determines your armour and cell shape. Higher armor allows you to reduce damage taken. The cell shape allows you to have more pairs of legs or weapons.

The number of pairs of legs your Fighter has determines its mobility. One pair of legs allows you to only move forward or rotate at one time. Two pairs makes you able to move forward, diagonally and rotate and so on. The level of your legs can be improved to make you move faster.

Also, you can buy skills like multiply, grapple, charge and spine strike.

The "money" in this game is evolution points. It is awarded for everytime you kill another Fighter and when you kill creeps

You win by either reaching a kill limit or a minion limit.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 6, 2011

I've got some sketches of some Micro-Fighters with my iPhone.

The color of the cell wall corresponds to the player color. The triangular Micro-Fighter was made wrongly. The stinger shouldn't be attached like that. The circular Fighter has a level 2 stinger =)

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 7, 2011

Bump. Anymore suggestions???

Nightblade · Mar 8, 2011

Item-Virus.
You can use the virus to reduce the opponents hp,or speed.Or to increase your own stats.You can ally with a virus colony.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 8, 2011

Hmm... Good advice... Btw dragon finished your loading screen.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 9, 2011

The micro-thing on your avatar looks like an iphone.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 9, 2011

Thanks. I'll take that as a compliment. It's made by my iPhone =)

Anyways back to the topic
Anymore suggestions?

Nightblade · Mar 9, 2011

I know.It is already in the map.Have you started work?

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 9, 2011

No as my mother ony let's me use the computer for fun on Fridays... Also, I can't think of a good map type... And whether I should make it an AoS or a hero arena like game. Also, I need a modeller and an icon maker...

Anymore suggestions?

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 10, 2011

Any would do. If a hero arena, make them fight in a body of a creature/person. If ans Aos, make their building to destroy a vital organ of the opposing body. Ex. one destroys the heart of the enemy base while the other destroys the virus camp or something. Try to make it immune system vs. viruses.

Nightblade · Mar 10, 2011

I vote for arena,somehow I think its more 'free',dont know why.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 10, 2011

Hmm...

I think I'll make the game like this...
The game is about Survival. Goal is to eliminate all other micro-fighters.
You are spawned at a random location on the map and you start with a basic fighter and a mother virus. When ever you kill something, you will not gain exp or evolution points unless you report back to the mother virus to claim it. Whenever your fighter levels up, you mother virus levels up too. Leveling up gives your fighter and your mother virus a skill point. The fighters skills is based either on defense or offense, defending the mother virus or attacking others. The mother virus skills are focused on letting the fighter defend her more easily, home teleportation, or to defend herself better, increase armor and damage. The fighter attacked by getting their pincers or stingers onto the enemy or successfully shooting them and the mother attacked by letting out a power pulse every 1 Second when an enemy is in range. This gives shooters an advantage but the mother does have some anti range abilities.

Evolution points allow the fighter to get weapon and armor upgrades.

The fight takes place on a dust particle. It started when a virus evoked so rapidly that it branched out onto different species... And this dust particle has only spec for one species...

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 11, 2011

Mother Virus should be in charge for upgrades, etc. and should be a structure. Maybe something like an egg.

Nightblade · Mar 12, 2011

Mother virus also can spawn more viruses.Also have special abilities

Colony:Creates a colony which spawns fighters and causes damage to other fighters around the colony

Screech:Uses a horrible evolutionary trait to create voices which immobilize other microes

Spawn(Probably OP,lots of EP required.):Upon death,virus will split into two viruses.Over time they will become two powerful viruses.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 13, 2011

They should be weak viruses at start whose health decreases over time.

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 16, 2011

Lol bump... I've gone awfully silent for a
While trying to connect your ideas.

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 16, 2011

What have you finished in it?

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 17, 2011

Urmm... Pratically nothing... I've still not sure abput what I'm gonna do...
Anymore Suggestions?

AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO START WITH!!! IM SHORT OF A MODELLER AND A TERRAINER!!! CAN SOMEONE RECOMMEND SOME GOOD SOULS TO ME?

Nightblade · Mar 17, 2011

Post in Recruitment.I cant do either,sadly

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 18, 2011

Start with the terrain then units then triggers.

Master_Elite · Mar 20, 2011

Im gonna say numbers 1 and 3 because #2 would be really hard if not impossible... You would need tons of custom models! and it's hard (Iv'e tried)....

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 21, 2011

Sorry for the silence... Trying to get the terrain done but I don't know what does a dust particle look like from a microorgansim's point of view.

I've been quite lazy and I don't feel like replying to all the posts you guys make... But I'm still going to take a look at them to gather ideas

Nightblade · Mar 22, 2011

Probably a desert...i think you should make it desertlike with some algaelike trees

Mac_MacNuggets · Mar 26, 2011

Any more suggestions???

Drunken_Jackal · Mar 28, 2011

A desert is nice. It could also be some kind of large mountain, a big cave. Or maybe something underwater or wet.

What first?
