[Abandoned] - Lifeguard Wars!

Map Name:Lifeguard Wars!
Mapmaker(s):s3xt0y
Number of Territories:74+
Special Features:None
What Makes This Map Worthy of Being Made:Bathing suits? Hot bodies :)

****probably not using*******
Potential Bonus: ( Up In the air )
Instructor + Class +4ish
Coach + lane of swimmers +3ish
Diving coach + Divers +4ish
Parents(not added in yet) + their child +1

Neutrals:
All territories are neutral except for the starting lifeguards.
The objective is to rescue a victim in the pool and hold the first aid kit, phone for 911 and a lifeguard
Kiddie pool, Hot tub, and Dive tank are free attack anywhere in the pool, main pool is structured one way. To attack from pool to pool you need to attack from the lifeguards.

To Do:

1. Finish graphics, or at least get the general idea done :)
2. Iron out game play
3. Add deck chairs and people lying on the deck
4. Add graphics for lifeguards, first aid kits and make a better looking sign for the lifeguard manual
5. The girl is there to build support, probably going to get removed later on unlessss there is an overwhelming objection :)
6. Footprints around the deck to show attack lines from lifeguards to pools / first aid kits / 911 / coaches / hotties sunbathing (to be added)

Fixed:

9/11
1. Lane direction indicators were wrong **now fixed**
2. Added labels to the pools (I have two options here, I can have the background one that you see below or, i can use signs on the sides of the pools similar to the Pool Rules sign) or another potential option if anyone has any suggestions

12/11

1. Added dive team to the lifeguard manual
2. Added win condition circles in red :)
2. In the process of adding...wet footprints for the attacks on the pool deck

Ok,

I have rethought this map a bit. I think I am going to make it an objective map where you start as the lifeguard and have to rescue all the victims in the pool and call 911 and get the first aid kit. The other bonus's would still be in play. Everything but the lifeguards would be neutral. Any thoughts?

I will be adding the territ's in over the next couple days and working on the map graphics. Now that I have the general idea down!

For the large pool - how about only Adjacent lanes can attack each other and having a smaller bonus for the 2 outside lanes.

If you are going to do objective, I would suggest making the First Aid kits large neutrals.

Thats the plan :) Everything but the LG's are going to be neutrals. I think the phones and the kits are going to be large neutrals :) The victims are going to probably be large neutrals as well

Please put the last update date in the title of the thread in this format [23 Oct 2011], brackets included. This will help the CA's and FA's know when you have posted a new update. Thank you.

Graphics look good for a first draft.
I'd think about limiting the amount of 911's or First Aid Kits there are, maybe down to just one each. Otherwise the objective might be a little easy to acquire and maybe make it a killer neutral as well as large, maybe both of them.
I'm also having a little trouble identifying who the victims are.
Overall, I like the idea and think its sort of similar to the baseball map. Hope my thoughts helped. :)

Victims aren't in there yet. The coaches aren't either. And I agree on that I think I'll put them in the middle and they will be attacked by all of them.

Is anyone even interested in this map, I will keep working on it, but it just seems that there is little to no interest...

I am also new at the foundry and one thing I've learned now is to have patience, the foundry consists of volunteers and we are many who would like to have pushed our things through, you have a nice map with good gameplay, I'm sure that there will be looked carefully at your map, which is I believe already have a solid theme context.

P.S. You still missing bikini babes :mrgreen:

I'm checking this one out for the second or so time and initially it didn't really excite me all that much... so in my opinion, what could be done to improve it.

think it would be interesting if there were different rules for each pool so a player has to vary their strategy to win... for example: there could be kids pool where its open attack...tlike in tribal Florida or Supermax, throw in a bombarding position at the diving board
and a Jaquzzi with a heat decay would be cool too

To add what IH mentioned, you could have some chairs around the pools and have them as a sunburn decay!

Your application has been noted, when you get your next draft posted, I will then go over it and we'll go from there! ;)

I have a question, can I code that if a player holds the chemical room for a specific pool that all the units in the pool with decay each turn?
