Food Web?

Post by Cahs.Gilgamesh »

I'm thinking about doing a food web map. Things i need 2 know: Am I stealing anyone's idea? and, What are your thoughts? Good idea? Bad idea? I figure I'd have each trophic level be a continent and whoever eats/consumes an organism can attack that organism. For example: the bear can attack the fish, because the bear eats the fish, etc. Please post all comments/questions that you have.

Interesting idea. You might want to call it the "Circle of Life" map instead.

"Food Web" made me think more of the Nutritional Pyramid.

One suggestion for you: Take a look at the Arms Race map. I think your idea might work if you did something vaguely similar - where you have to make your way up the food chain to win?

I don't know what you could do with the rest of the gameplay - maybe incorporate evolution? (i.e. you must evolve to move up?)

Just some thoughts.
