Warsong Gulch Idea! I need feedback PLZ and TY

Post by ConanTheConquerr »

I am new to this and i'm not even sure if this is the way to go about it all, but i have a great idea for a 2 player / team map based on WSG from Warcraft. It's capture the flag, and the only way i could think of to do it would be one way attacks through neutrals that the other team could bombard. To keep cards of a bonus from giving away the game, the players graveyard (not conquerable) will give a bonus for the OPPONENTS territories. I know the map seems small but i think it will be a lot of back and forth action with a better strategy, rather than a ton of troops, will win the game. Anyway, here are the details :

*15 territories + 5 escape route territories for each side (which will be neutral 3's or 5's).
*Only bonus' is for midfield, tunnels and the graveyard.
*A-Huts can bombard A1-3 / H-Huts can bombard H1-3
*Remaining armies on capture will be lost and the territory reset to neutral (3 or 5).
*First player / team to capture the flag 3 times wins.
*Escape routes are one way for the team capturing ONLY. The opposing team must cut-off and bombard the
flag, before they get to the capture zone.
*GraveYards can not be captured (and in team games will share the zone with others. As in Red and Blue will
have armies on the GY).

Plz let me know if anyone likes this idea or anything that needs to be done. I'm not even sure if CC supports 2/4/6 player only games (as in not 3/5/7 or 8 ). If not i can always change things up. I know i like my 2 player games though , :twisted:

I haven't looked into the specifics of the map, but I reckon that it will come across some copyright problems, the images for sure, perhaps other issues also. Things will need to be originally created, rather than copied.

Regarding the idea aspect, I'm not sure it make a good map, but one never knows!

Well....I'm not very good at graphics, i made this with a screenshot and Paint, lol. But i can always make a new one. Just wanted to get the idea out there, and i figured WoW players would like it (kinda like the Lord of the Rings map).

I may change many things about this map. Some friends and myself were just thinking of a capture the flag map, so i figured what better stage. I'm in contact with Blizzard right now to see if i can get the ok to put their images on CC. I'll be sure to post as soon as i know more. Plz see "Field of Strife, my other idea..." for more info and for another map. I do need feedback to know if there are opinions on gameplay and whatnot. And to see if there is an interest in these maps. I may make more....

I think if a Warcraft map was going to be made it should be based off DOTA (Defense of the Ancients). But that's just me...

I had been thinking of a capture the flag map. I think it is a good idea. For what it is worth, this can be done in just about any setting. Need not be warcraft if there is another warcraft idea that would be better worth the permissions. We've all probably played it in different settings right? It could be a neighborhood setting. hell we all love to reminisce about that. A battlefield setting. a forest setting. a fantasy setting. a scifi setting. etc...

I had some gameplay ideas for it before so I can share those as things come along. And you can like them or ignore them.

thanks for the input. A neighborhood setting would be pretty cool too maybe. I've been talking about it with 2 of my friends , but any extra input is always welcome. I'll have an update pretty soon...been working kinda late.

much of the gameplay you have described there is not possible (not yet at least). so there should be huge changes in XML before you can even make this map playable.

besides, copyright issues..
