Staredit Network

I was thinking of making that map. I'd need some entertaining ideas though. Can you help me? (I currently have no starcraft, but it will be ready soon.)

Like you start as a seed being carried by a bee (Wraith called *Buzz*) and it could be a competitive event like ants kinda? Like you can attract bees with various flowers you can graft on (maybe have it where you are the owner of it). You then can recruit bees and make them to bring in more pollen or something like that.

Lol, life as a tree: Sit and, seed, die.

Things that may affect you:
Beehives!
Rainfall!
Drought!
Humans!
Lumberjacks! (oh noez!)
Sun won't go away!
Kids climbing it! (Break their arms!!)

i like iT!!! it sounds great to me, u can make it be like when u start the game, it randomly selects a seed for you to be and then u have to ....what kow said

It could be like strategic warfare with other trees to gain height and sunlight.

More height = more energy = more minion production (bees as gatherers, ants a defense, butterflies as spies, etc)

Short fat tree could be more of a defense
Tall more offense, unit producer

could have children trees that you controll but might randomly rebell because not totally under controll!

Unless you are a tree and under the ground you have dig holes in dirt to spread your roots but you have do in away w/o killing off your roots like heading wrong way may enter a posionious grounds or hit a brick. So more your roots spread mroe your tree grows i guess. =/ sounds kool. Just needs work out what you want it do.

Oh, Moogle.

Uh what did i do now fortune? i didnt take the drugs! yet.

Roots are a nice idea, but I dont think that it would be efficient to make a diagram of the roots as if they were underground.

Random events for 'upgrading' roots? As in: "You hit a rock. The number of new units you would be producing decreases by 35%" Or something to that effect.

Trees do interest me so.

They do, eh?

All the more incentive to make it

Kow: Maker of ed up maps.
Incidentally, did you ever finish that cooking map?

I never even concepted of a cooking map, that I can think of.

You may be thinking of a different Kow

well for what it is worth, i like the idea of life as a tree, but maybe b abl to choose player at start, like maybe u can choose to b a lumber jack, or the sun..., this map is alrdy wierd as it is, y not make it the wierdest

You wouldn't be a lumberjack, you'd be a tree, maybe facing a lumberjack, but never being one.

At the end of the game there should be a forest fire and you gotta use ur wet branches from it raining the night before to put it out or something.

Nah, too unrealistic. It's a competition map (If I can ever find my bw cd)

Thats true it is unrealistic

I was just trying 2 help tho

This makes me thing of a tree defense, where animals help protect you.

lol shotgun ur thinking of Kamikaze.Kow he was making the cooking map :/ but kamkikaze.kow is awesome wat r u talking about lol. Neways i think this could be cool but dont make it exactly like Sim Ants make it like SeN cool with the uber terrain ect.

I made a game called Plant Trees about 6 months ago. Its not quite the same. But its still focused around trees. I never really got around to taking out all of the bugs. I eventualy made a sequal to it because I was bored.

Hmm... Ever played that map, where you're a mole, running from the farmer? Well, the roots could be kind of like that, except not taking up as much room, then if your roots crossed with an enemies, it would make a passage between your trees, which you would either
A) take advantage of and use as an attack route, or
B) block off with a "rock" (some kind of building)
Then beehives would be carriers, ants could be zealots and zerglings and... wait a minute, I'm taking over your map. Just take the root suggestion and forget I said anything else. And if you don't do this map, I will! Muahahahahaha.

You play the part of the tree trying to escape the deforesters, but you realize you can't move, and simply have to die at the hand of the axe.

Rated L ... for Lame


good idea though

It would be fun... If it was made well

Well, I'm not going to make it lame. If I made it, it'd be perfect, or not at all. I'm really obsessive about little details like that xD
