Oh yes. It could be Pirates and Ninjas unite against Zombies fiesta.

wow i can actually picture this map in my mind... you have the pirate ships, the ninja towns battleing half and half, but on the other end of the map, the pirate ships and townspeople have been changed into zombies and are advanceing tword both group

[oaktown]

and martians dropping down from the sky? please say yes.

(see, isn't it nice having a forum just for ideas? this would already be buried in the old threadosaurus)

[InkL0sed]

I'm gonna make a sketch.

But I'm not promising making any maps. Anybody is free to take this idea as long as they make the game play crazy and the comic references hilarious.

[pimpdave]

Would it be possible to add attributes to each group?

Perhaps there would be automatic fog of war on the Ninja camp, and Pirates get to bombard from their ships.

I have no ideas for Zombies or Martians.

[InkL0sed]

Well, fog of war would unfortunately be impossible for the ninjas, but bombardments would definitely be possible.

I was thinking zombies as in infected neutrals though... although that could be another idea to have them actually be another faction (ie. normal territories...)

[whitestazn88]

i think the ninjas should have the ability to kill people like 2 or more spaces away, because they're magic and fast and stuff like that

you mean because they're ninja?

right, ninja magic and stuff lol

[InkL0sed]

Good idea.

I made a sketch, which looked OK. But I couldn't get a good picture of it. So I remade it on Photoshop really quickly, just to get the essentials down. This is by far the worst picture I have made with Photoshop, saved as a really low quality jpg. Please don't laugh at me, I won't be happy.



So yeah, I was thinking the Flying Saucers could start neutral and have an autodeploy. The cannons from the Pirate's ship could bombard the beach, and the only way from them would be the little rowboats (those brown rectangles I made). The little circle thing would have a mountain, at the top of which would be the "Ninja Mountain Summit Training Facility" or some such. It could have an autodeploy and attack two spaces away or something.

Not too sure what to do about the zombies. But I kinda like this layout. What do you guys think?

PS. The lighter shade of brown is very shallow water... I was thinking they'd be territories as well, to connect the Ninjas' "Island" to the rest of the stuff.

[whitestazn88]

it looks awesome lol....

are the ninjas and pirates on the same team?

and i think the ninjas are currently getting the shaft in terms of position, so the bonus should be like +4 autodeploy on all ninjas

zombie horde is kinda big imo, ninjas might be better off having some secret hiding positions that can bombard inside the horde though, cuz they're fast, and zombies are dumb

aliens? i dunno what they're gonna do...

finally, the pirates... are they getting a cannon?

[InkL0sed]

The zombie town isn't the whole mainland, just basically the area where the text is. I was thinking there'd be a lot of non-allied territories around there. Maybe a Martians' camp in the lower left.

Yes, the pirates would bombard the beach (there would be beach territories...)

Maybe the summit should be able to attack up to two territories away, get a small autodeploy and be able to bombard even farther?

Probably all four factions will start neutral, how this is drawn up.

My sketch on paper looks so much cooler...

get a scanner

[whitestazn88]

it also looks as though the pirate ship is connected to the ninja training facility... which is why i asked if they were on a team

[InkL0sed]

Getting a scanner is no simple solution, sadly...

Considering I'm 6 time zones separated from home, I'm afraid it's even more out of the question than it would have been (and it definitely would have been).

[Natewolfman]

perhaps in that blank area you can add vampires and warewolves

are you 6 hours behind or ahead? because 6 hours behind france is america, and i'm sure you can get a scanner somewhere here, or use one somewhere here for cheap

but what powers would they have? we must incorporate every single possible xml feature possible!!!

[ZeakCytho]

It sounds like I'm against the majority here, but I think the map would be better as just Pirates vs. Ninjas, without aliens and zombies and all that crap.
