Okay... Since 1 year, I've wanted to revolutionate StarCraft. Now, I'LL do it! With YOUR help!
I want to create a TOTALLY NEW style of games...
For my part, I've though about that :
[Colonists]
In this type of game, you start with kind of a LITLE village and you've got to conquere, like the colonists, the territory.
It would be a litle like Diplo games... but in this one, there is gonna be a Date Event System... each certain-year, you'll get to reproduce the history and if ever you fail, you change the whole history!
It could be a cool thing... but imagine the number of possibility of history we could get!
*This topic is PRINCIPALLY made to show off your ideas... and NOT to comments... please, don't comment too much, if ever you want to start a whole discussion, create a topic of the name of the type of game you wanna talk in the "Concept" section.
Thank you!

Okay, it says a new style of maps when theres only like one of them...And I think this forum is to get your ideas feedback and not make a topic filled with ideas. Im not sure though, may be wrong.

That's not a new style of game at all. It's just a Civilization map with timed events like some WWII maps have.

Why not make a first person shooter? It has never been done. Have units always recentering, new units spawning. You could actually do this with ONE single screen.

Well it wouldnt be considered a first person shooter if ur not looking behind the unit. Closest thing you can do is probably Tuxs Rush map. Maybe your reffering it to that.

Doing a first person shooter in a strategy game? That means that you have to make a virtual screen with units that move for every single step you take.
It would be trillions of triggers, and it would still not look good.

Unreal Tournament?

To payne: Diablo 2 isn't an FPS. FPS stands for first person shooter, and diablo isn't first person, which means you look through your character's eyes, nor is it a shooter.

Who cares, it looks cooler with a capital S. Coolness is better than correctness. And let's get back on topic too, on-topic is cooler than off-topic.

OMG!
We-Don't-Care!
To ChEatenAblED (héhé) : I never talked about Diablo... it was about Unreal Tournament! One point for my terrainer-lover -> Chronophobia!
So... no ideas?

Grr... well, I don't care! 
Stop being offtopic... please talk about a new style of game!
I've though about a rythmed one... like there is a random music, and all the game is based on the rythm of it...

theres no need to get angry...The fact is, is that i don't think that theres a new style we can make. And if there is, it won't be that good...
i thought about your suggestion...and i thought maybe a DDR type game, but this would have many bad effects, and i don't think it would be right for StarCraft gameplay. Not to mention it would be to much to download.

What's a DDR game? 
And I think I've found a "new" style of map... well.. it's more a king of mix with an idea, and 2 existant type of game : Warfare, Impossible.
It's all there as "Command Impossible"... maybe I should rename that to "Impossible Warfare Tactics"?
Well... here it is : http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopic=38333

A virtual first person shooter with trillions of triggers was the idea. You would really only need 100 triggers AT MOST, just trillions upon trillions of triggers. But it HAS never been done.

One thing is for sure, keep your ideas in one spot. There's already a topic for these threads: Ideas. Don't try to make a duplicate topic that is in the wrong spot. Reguarding the first idea, it's not new at all, Desperado is correct.
There is a difference between style and genre. Genre in starcraft is referring to Defenses, Bounds, RPGs, Zone Contol, etc. Style is simply the twist you put in the maps of the genres.
As far as I'm concerned, this topic should be moved to ideas and be worked with only Payne's ideas. Everybody else can create their own threads under ideas. Concept is more of something with at least a blue print.
