The Food Web [idea]

[The Weird One]

I'm posting this now to find out if anyone has started a similar map in the past. If not, I'm about to start on it. I have no visual aid at the moment, but am working on it [I'll have it up sometime next week probably...I suck at photoshop and such] It will be a food web with one-way attacks to the next item on it. Possible bonuses would be capturing an entire food chain. Start points would be different types of vegetation.

Any major flaws in this that mean that I should abandon all hope on it now before I get too much done?

-Thanks in advance, TWO.

Not anything major has been created. I don't remember there ever being a food chain map, and even if there was one before I played CC, it definitely didn't get far. No need to seek anyone's permission or whatever.
And about the map, will the decomposers (like mushrooms) be able to attack the top of the food chain? This would change the gameplay significantly, especially if it ended up going full circle with some herbivores eating decomposers.

How about making a food web instead? Food chain is too simple...

I'd like this more if you were to make it a map of a mini-ecosystem.

Being able to see the birds in the sky, carnivores hiding in the forest, small animals around, bugs in a dead tree, and worms in the earth would make for an awesome map

My thoughts exactly.

If you had fully read my post, you would have noted that I said "it would be a food web" somewhere in the middle of the paragraph.

I think this is a brilliant idea. Good graphics will be key.

You could take one of those pictures from a biology textbook of the life cycle, and adapt it to CC-ability. I think the one-way attack prominence would be a very unique feature, as only Draknor has that sort of gameplay, and it won't be as "long" path-wise as this map could be.

Due to recent computer issues, I might not have the rough draft out as soon as I had hoped. I can't download anything 9 times out of 10 and I don't think that you would appreciate me doing it in paint Sorry for the wait. I'll still try to have it for this week, but I can't guarantee anything.
