Intriguing. You think you could get a computer-ized draft up? I mean, can you post a draft that was made in a computer program? This would likely make things more clear than the current draft you have going I think this map has potential, though I must say the ant theme is rather odd.

-Sully

[army of nobunaga]

yeah, sadly though it took 2 hours to do this. so before I ink it then scan it and start photoshop on it just wanted to see what ppl thought.

The theme came from a desire for --tunnels, an early gauntlet of neutrals, big risk/reward for leaving the home early.
So Ants were decided. I think I can do a fun love/sex theme with it too. I dunno. Thanx for the comments.

[Evil DIMwit]

I think ants are sexy enough.

This is a pretty compelling idea. I say go for it.

[YoBFelip]

i like the idea of the map and it's twists, ants r ok, better than drugs, sex and rock and roll

[army of nobunaga]

thanx guys... gonna see if I can spend the rest of the afternoon working on this.

[grifftron]

I seriously was working on an ant war map between red ants and black ants (never posted it, and barley got started). BUT it looked kinda like what you have going on here, the queen ant was in the bottom middle as you have there as well... good idea i think, think of taking on the theme of a war between 2 sides might be cool as well.

[army of nobunaga]

cool man... I worked on it today too. I am going to see this project to the end. I know with everyones input here that I can make this work.

I have always wanted to make a map. This will be the one.

Was going to scan it today and start photoshop but EVERY business in mexico is closed today.
It is there 200 year revolution for independence or something like that today.


anyway, look forward to your input.

This actually brings back some long-ago childhood happy memories of a game called Hungry Ant. Wonderfully made game... players constructed tunnels from randomly drawn tiles to try to get to 'goodies' from a picnic (soda, pickles, cake, etc.)

Anyway, some of the tiles were negative effects that you could put on your opposing players' tunnels, and these I think could spice up the map if you so desired. If I recall, they were:

A Cave-In
The Spider
Preying Mantis
Big Uncle's insecticide

I think this could be a really cute and funny map, with some good strategic options as you mentioned before- a nice all-around map.

Best of luck,

Marshal Ney

Anyone remember an old PC game Sim Ant?

[army of nobunaga]

lol, i remember both of those but i swear to you that those memories came just now the "Ant-Boy idea came basically only because I knew i wanted blind crossroads, bases and tunnels with a starting "gauntlet" of neutrals. Thanx for the advice, I think I will add the spider. and insecticide .

Ill have the next version ready and updated on sunday night. Tonight is well tequila, tomorrow a wedding .. but luckily I worked my ass off last two days on it. Hope you guys are impressed.

[ManBungalow]

I like where this is going.

[army of nobunaga]

working on it atm.. I think its going to be better than I thought. im not great at this online graphic software.. but this is good for me. I should learn a lot from it.

[natty dread]

Online graphics software? Oh please tell me you're not using one of those...

[army of nobunaga]

paint.net...

it seems ok....

still tryin to learn it though... pounding through it on my pc as I type this.. or before and after I type this though.

[natty dread]

Ah, paint.net is not an online graphics editor... I also use paint.net.

You'll want to install lots of plugins for it to be able to do useful stuff though.

[army of nobunaga]

ok, this is what I have so far... the going is slow, im new to this stuff.

Ill add the paths tonight.

Ill keep updating so you guys an tell me what sucks and Ill change it as I go.

v 1.1

[army of nobunaga]

also need new names for the title.

Thinking of "Presilla the Ant-Queen"

I dunno....

Gonna be interesting to see you get all of those paths in this img. Look forward to see what you got.

[The Bison King]

If you go through with this idea, I would totally draw the ants for you

[army of nobunaga]

lol dude, i totally needed you to draw the webpage stuff :S =D .... did you see how it turned out ?

and im going through with it, im using it as a reason to teach myself a graphics program... I realized how dumb it is for me to be so handy on a pc in most things but know next to nothing about this stuff.

its amateurish, but Im proud of it because it is 90% all done by me, code-graphics-admin setup http://www.unleashedsaga.com lol thought i ws offering to pay you pretty good too



edit
-----
When the time comes if you want to make a hot little queen ant and some little bachelors, ill be down. thanx

[The Bison King]

Yeah but that was with like a two day time limit, this is the foundry so you'll have like a 3 year time limit.

Edit

no problem.

p.s. for 20 bucks I'd still do those graphics on your webiste

so you want him to buy you prem then?

nice idea army, keep it up.

[greenoaks]

i also have had something similar going round my head - ant farm

[army of nobunaga]

that ant farm is an epic idea man. I think there would be room enough for two tunnel like maps.. Mine is turning out to be pretty cartoonish...

Ill have an update tomorrow
