Conquer Club

I admit, I'm just an idea guy and not an implementer. I know there have been many attempts at doing the human body, but I think just the heart by itself is an interesting subject and would make a good map.

Here's one example of how it could be done, just to start the subject out. I'm sure someone with more imagination and gameplay knowledge than me could ... er... flesh it out a bit and make it more interesting.



Latest version, 6/8/2010:



In the top diagram below, this map won't work because the red and blue sections do not connect at all. In the bottom diagram, the lungs are (clumsily) added in, which makes the map more playable but takes away somewhat from the "heart attack" theme.

I like it. I think it should be taken through an implemented. It's kind of a strange idea, like beef cuts, but it could definitely work as a map. Plus its more simple than the human body, which is why I think it works better than the other anatomy maps.

Shouldn't the Aorta be worth more, being that it's the most important artery in the body.

I like this a lot, though maybe skip the lungs, and just allow the Pulmonary artery to attack the Pulmonary Vein, and the Aorta to attack the Vena Cava.

Also something fun could be introduced to do with the valves in the heart. Just a thought

How bout this?

I like it, it's a good idea, and i'd happily play that map, though the lines are very confusing and hard to follow. And i think some of the routes between the out/in blood vessels could do with being removed, there's a few too many

The name Heart Attack! certainly lends the idea flavor- but even though there are "armies" that are "attacking" in the heart... I dunno. Beef cuts got overcomplicated by suggestions along this line, but is there some way to put more "attack" into the map, without putting in a bunch of weird killer neutrals and gameplay creep? Just some flavor names/regions perhaps, with standard gameplay?

Also, with the name, your bonus regions listed are technical, maybe you could save that for the region names- like Aorta... then maybe you could put some color into the bonus area names, like "Pumper", "Holding Tank", "Incoming", "Hose"... (these are just random names, btw)

That´s a very cool idea, i like it!^^ Can everyone here in the forums suggest ideas for new maps hoping that the devs will implement them?

Better than that, anyone can make a new map. If you have the necessary graphics skills - and even if you don't, you can always learn... when I started making my first map it was horrible, I didn't know shit about making maps, but I stuck to it and eventually I learned enough to finish the map...

But yes, anyone can also suggest map ideas here if you don't have the patience/interest/w/e to learn mapmaking.

Thanks for the quick reply, that´s a great way to involve the users into the game development Where the self-created maps be uploaded? Is there a tutorial which tells you the important things about map designing?

The users create all the maps on CC. Every map that is currently playable was made by a CC player.

Where the self-created maps be uploaded?

They be uploaded to your image-hosting site, and after you acquire the image link from them you can post the map image on this forum.

Is there a tutorial which tells you the important things about map designing?

There's a whole forum of tutorials. It's called Tutorials & Guides.

I see. I think I´ll try that later Currently I´m busy with exploring the existing maps!^^
