Hello, this is SoulVision. Many of you might formerly know me as Soul(U) as I was with them for about 3 years, but one day I got bored of Starcraft and left. Upon coming back I was removed due to inactivity. (No biggy) Anyway, Coming back filled me with ideas for a new map, and below is the map I plan to make.
Story
Thousands of years ago, the galaxy was held by but one race. This race lived alone and carved their own way of life. Technology was a big factor among this race, but it would also be their downfall. As the galaxy's boundaries expanded from exploration, more and more ships began to disappear. Then one day, it happened.
From the Core planet in the galaxy you could see it, a Massive "Cloud" seemed to cover the whole galaxy, and then suddenly a "door" appeared to open from it. Ships after ships began to pour out, killing the people of the galaxy. Within hours, the galaxy was destroyed, only one small planet on the outside boundary was left, and the "Cloud" disappeared.
That was thousands of years ago. Now the galaxy is led by 4 races, each with their own distinct way of life. All of them play an equal part in the galaxy to insure that peace is maintained, but sometimes, that is not a possibility...
Races
Bailar- The First Race to find the Galaxy in Ruins and darkness. This race is essentially the oldest around. They make their living by Trade and Commerce. Starting with just a Dropship to trade their goods, but in the end millions of minerals to spend.
Canatai- The Second race to flock to the Galaxy. This race is very smart and travel a lot. They know just about the whole galaxy by heart so they make their living through Escorts and such. While they may start escorting just civilians, before they know it they could be escorting Presidents.
Menolo- This Race was never really seen entering the galaxy, which is probably why they make a living as Bounty Hunters. This sly, quiet race will take any job that involves taking some one out, of course, if its for the right price.
Linarian- The Race that saw the "Cloud", and lived through it. The race which after which migrated and finally had enough people to survive. This race is now very secure, which is why they make a living as very Militant. This race surveys the whole galaxy and tries to keep it in peace.
Completion
4%
Features
- Beautiful Galaxy.
- 4 Races to choose from.
- Help build the galaxy.

- And much much more!
Post feedback and check back for more details as they arise.
EDIT : Took out color tags -.-

Tons of fon? lol
Well, sounds cool, when/if you finish it, I'll most likely be finding myself choosing Monolo.
Though, 256x256 is kinda small for making... even a solar system...
How you gonna fit anything in there?

Its actually gonna focus on several different space docks rather than planets in the solar system, due to the small map size allowment. However, I plan to squeeze it all in their...somehow

Its somewhat an open game, not diplomacy or RPG. Its more of an RPG than anything though. You basically can just buy ships, destroy space stations/take them over, mine on asteroids, do bounty hunts, etc. depending on your race.

Sounds cool but really hard to make. Also sounds somewhat like a MOD idea.

Sounds cool. Kinda like a trader sort of game for one player and another type for other players. A diverse map is usually a good map, so keep going strong with this idea. Are you going to have different kinds of "material" for the traders to buy? perhaps you could have the dropship filled with scvs, and allow player to buy crystals or psi emitters or things (renamed of course) for randomized amounts at different starports. That would be cool.

You will be able to trade several different amounts of materials which will be saved by invisible strings.

Sounds interesting...so um have you started it yet? Wait porbably not you just telling us your idea

wow sounds like a great idea, how many units do you get to start out with for each race???
Report, edit, etc...Posted by SoulVision on 2004-10-17 at 19:39:04
No its not just an idea, i have already started, duno why it was moved to ideas. Also, each race starts out with one (Crappy) Unit, like Traders will start out with a slow Overlord, while in the end they will be able to get a shuttle.

This will probably, truly become the best open RPG map for Starcraft.

Thanks dude, but first people need to wait til its out (Or til I release a demo) and actually give feedback and thoughts/ideas etc.

Just the thought of creating a massive map, and having a vast imagination to create that (unless you ripped off some game or whatever) warrants positive commentation.

As for T-Virus, thanks man, long time no see And as for Sessase,Of course there are gonna be Maps similar and that have some of the same features, almost every map is like that now. Thats just how it is, no way around that, but thanks anyway.
