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)
