Stupid Game Idea!

Preamble
This thread is solely made because I get a partial idea this morning about a game, strategy game like AOE III, whose civilizations are insects. When you kill a unit, it can slowly decompose, but before it did, you can gather it like a food source. Flowers contain honey, that can be nutrition if kept inside granary and switched (takes time).

Resources: nutrition (resemble food), material (resemble wood), population, honey (resemble coin)

There are 5 civs, both of them shared same units:
1. Worker: Work like settler in AOE III. Cost 100 nutrition, worth 70 nutrition.
2. Queen: Work like town center. Can move slowly. Train eggs, that have to be keep on holes. To activate cost 1500 nutrition, worth 3000 nutrition.
3. Drone: The ones that used to activate young queen. Cost 800 nutrition and 200 honey, consume 50 nutrition per time, worth 500 nutrition.
4. Soldier: Melee unit. Cost 200 nutrition and 50 honey. Worth 300 nutrition.
5. Larva: Let me say children. Comes from eggs that hatched from holes. Have to sent to barrack (become soldier or scout) or to chamber (become worker, young queen, or drone).
6. Scout: A scout. Cost 100 nutrition and 100 honey. Worth 150 nutrition.
7. Young Queen: Let me say like a town center wagon. Can fly. Have to be f*cked by the drone ( :lol: ). Cost 750 nutrition and 200 honey. Worth 1500 nutrition.

Every civ shared these buildings:
1. Queen Hall: Place where the queen reside.
2. Holes: House, place to keep larva till they are old enough to be sent into barrack or chamber.
3. Barrack: Place to grow the larva into soldier or scout. Also to train mercenary.
4. Chamber: Place to grow the larva into queen, worker, or drone.
5. Granary: Place to keep your nutrition and honeys. It can switch nutrition into honey or vice versa.

Some things:
1. All animal consume nutrition or honey, so if you have nutrition or honey number 0, your insect will be dieing.
2. Lunch Time clock: every 3 minutes, all animal will consume their food (nutrition or honey).
3. Larva has metamorphose meter, so if it is come to zero, it will turns into worker or soldier (possibility 3:1).

Enjoy...

Another dangerous animal: The Japanese Hornet

Basically you'll need a very large and powerful army to destroy even one of them!

Spoiler:

Oh, I remember that video and those giant wasps. I alway wanted to show it to everyone when I was little. :lol:

Wow, it will be a great dangerous animal!!!

Hey let's create e new forum for this mod. Pepp as Admin, and Super and I as Moderators. :lol: :lol:

Yes! We shall conquer the world with this amazing new RTS!

The Book of Revelations is wrong, this is the first sign of the Apocalypse. :lol:

Peppmeisterin, the admin of a forum? *shudder*

Apocalypse? No, this is the Enlightenment era all over again! Prosperity for the RTS genre!

And Pepp is a natural born leader, so nothing could possibly go wrong...

Pep just wants to be a leader... but his commands aren't serious enough. He stays spammy. :lol:

And he stays to let this idea of game as idea of game, not IDEA OF MOD. WTH will happen if AOE III include some giant INSECTS?!

And eh, I do some biological research and found that Hornet can be independent civ, as some of it life socially.

Ant Culture (3 civs)

Bee Culture (3 civs)

Wasp Culture (3 civs)

9 civs... what about it?

Well, building an insect culture isn't as easy as making man's culture. Man's cultures are clearly has some big similarity, but insects, no. Some of them are truly different.

For now, here are the list:
1. Ant Class (not culture, as the type of building made by weaver ant in the real world is different with the other class): 3 civs.
2. Termite Class: 1 civ
3. Bee/Wasp Class: 2 civs.

We don't need termites, they're blind and only 1 kind (I think).

And Wasps are more related to Ants than to Bees.

They're blind, that's why they have to train some cockroach mercenaries :lol: .

And no, there is no wasp civilization for now, but they can be added...

Here are the answers why I added termite:
1. They are mortal enemy of the ants.
2. They life socially.
3. They are small enough.

hahaha lol.. :lol:

I even forgot I have made this kind of silliness...

lol... what kind of noobs we were :lol:

The same as we are today.
