New BAV(BA Version)

[Cheesecan]

I had an idea for a BA spinoff. Basically special maps would have this circular disks on the map that you step on with your com once and choose via a lua menu from an array of special units and buildings that cannot be built unless you choose them(kind of like CS weapon selection). You could load/save a profile to avoid having to pick each time. You also get assigned a random new T3 super unit you can build maybe from a pool of half a dozen or so.

The idea is that this will be a bit different and attract new players who like the random element that makes the game outcome more unpredictable(and thus unfair to pros).

Not that I really have the time to make this though.

It reduces options in a single game while not really making the games overall learning curve smoother, not a fan of the idea.

This sounds like BA Deployment mutator but with extra deployment only units.

In other words, Marine Arena in BA.

Not marine arena..it is regular BA but with random component.

seems like a lot of work (basically redoing zK's unlock thing) just for some funny (or not) modoption?

[Cheesecan]

Hm yes maybe it's not that fun come to think of it..seemed much better when I thought of it in my sleep.

I have another non-BA game concept that is more interesting, that would be a proper game that takes much more work though. I used to be decent at Rhino3D but seems those modeling skills vanished. Must have replaced those neuron connections in my brain with programming..lol so I'd have to re-learn it and work hard for years on a project. My average attention span for a project so far has only been a few months. Of course no point posting about anything until it's done or at least well in progress, really, so this thread could be locked.
