Age of the Dinosaurs

Postby RedBaron0 on Sat Aug 02, 2014 8:55 pm

Map Name: Age of the Dinosaurs
Mapmaker(s): RedBaron0 and anyone willing to help
Number of Territories: TBA
Special Features: This map will utilize both transformations and map staging.
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made: Using the new map feature this will take advantage of this map will be completely unique, and yet still very simple. Many specific details need to be worked out, but I imagine 2 sections of map. Each player will receive 1 or more starting point depending on number of players. These starting points will be 1 of a number of the main families of dinosaur and successful reptiles/fish which will receive an autdeploy and a possible bonus depending on which species of dinosaur they control on the map itself. They will be on the map generally where they lived.(Example: Tyrannosaurus Rex - family Carnasaur lived in territory from Northeastern Asia to Western North America) The staging part of the map will consist of the time progression of the entire age of the dinosaurs from approx. 230 million years BCE to 65 million BCE and the break up of the super continent of Pangaea. Species of animals will rise, live, and become extinct with the passage of time.(rounds/transformations) while the Earth itself is changing. Territory connections will change as landmasses break apart and collide. There are 2 major extinction events during this time and will cause devastation for all animals, the Triassic/Jurassic event and the culmination of the map at 65 million years BCE where all dinosaur species become extinct as well as 75% of all life on Earth. Victory will be achieved by either eliminating all opponents before the end of the map's stages or by holding the victory condition(s) which will likely be like taking and holding the surviving mammal/bird/fish families, or possibly holding the major causes of the extinctions.(Deccan Traps Volcanic Event, Chicxulub Impact, Dinosaur pandemic)

Here we have a basic start to the first image stage in the early Triassic, Pangaea is all together. I see this as a connect the army dots map, these areas will make up bonuses and players will get a starting position where they can attack either a land or sea territory. The map will kind of have a feel of both Classic and Land & Sea. There should be a couple spots where you can jump from land to sea and visa versa. The land spaces should all get divided among the players, with the starting position being able to feed the map. There will be 6 stages, a early and late Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous map. The final image of the late Cretaceous will have several extinction level event spaces that will allow attacking back to the starting positions. Might make this a losing condition. Also all map spaces will transform into army decay spaces, slowly at first, faster as time/rounds continue. There will also be Victory conditions appearing that allow you to win the game if held, and would be immune to E.L.E. event spaces and wouldn't be decaying. These would be the new dominate species taking over, birds and mammals.
