It's no good to be a Frost Wyrm in a world of Dryads.​

This is a simulation of WarCraft evolution. The game will last a certain amount of time and record the progress of the evolution through the "Ages" system. These are the basics:

- This is a simulation. You can't do anything but watch.
- Units will attack others of a different type (Footman won't attack Footman).
- When a unit kills another, the killer reproduces himself.
- There is a mutation rate. Units may become better or worse units of the same race (or, very rarely, of another race).
- You may set the length of the game by sending the chat message "short", "long", "longer" or "forever" at any time.

The map is really simple and done in GUI, but the simulations and randomness of their results can keep you entertained.

The weakest, in the beginning.

Will become strong in the end.

The Knights dominated the world, but the appearance of Gryphons extinguished them.

The arrows of the preview image are in the WarCraft sense of "better than" (ex: "demolishers > hunts"). The arrows suggest that, while Frost Wyrms win against Tauren, Dryads will win against the mighty Frost Wyrms.
 
That was actually quite fun. I thought the frost wyrms were going to win easily, they were like 30 and the ones behind were 15 destroyers. Suddenly the destroyers started owning and it ended up with like 50 destroyers, 3 spellbreakers and 3 frost wyrms +rep
 
Sounds really cool. I'll try it out when I can.

Is it random? Like is the victor already set? Or is battle random?

EDIT: lol, that was awesome. :) Humans died out so quickly, for races, it was like:

Dominant:
-Elves (archer)
-Undead (ghoul)
-Undead (ghoul)
-? (none)
-? (none)
-? (none)
-Orc (grunt)
-Orc (grunt)
-Orc (grunt)
-Orc (grunt)

So... grunts are strong. :D

EDIT 2: An idea. You should be able to play as like nature, god, time, weather, or something. You would have control over natural forces. However, you can't really aim it towards people. You can just choose to like "activate hurricane" and those things would spawn randomly in the map. That would make it more interesting but still balanced.

Cool map really! Grunts owned from the 2nd age till the end though :p They were like 35+, while all others only had about 10 units.
You could maybe add some strategies for every race/unit? Like knights just charge their way in and troll headhunters go in groups and help eachother out? Nice work ! :D
 
I'm glad you guys liked it.

It's random, you can get all kinds of results for dominant unit in each age, but the final winner is unlikely to be a weak unit due to evolution.

So... grunts are strong. :D
If there was a mutation to a flying unit they'd have died very quickly!

This is a good idea. I'm thinking there could be a "heat" or "cold" factor that the player could manipulate to get different results.
 
I got gryphons dominating.
The 'winners' went something like this:
Trolls
Trolls
Knight
Gryphon + Knight
Gryphon
Gryphon
Gryphon
Gryphon
etc.

At one point, there where 59 Gryphon riders.
And although a destroyed was flying around which couldn't be attacked, it was outnumbered. :p
 
cool map, worked like 2 times and got some nice results, but the last time i had ALL of one race so there wasnt any fighting =/
 
Because humans are a fail race. They are greedy, fight amongst themselves, and mostly have no honor! ...And they are not specially big, strong, fast, or smart. :)

Humans
Cons:
normal attributes
lack or weak moral
and fail.

Pros:
they reproduce really fast.

----------------------------
to win. simply get a flying unit as fast as possible. haha not really.
 
Yeah, fun map, good job! :) +rep 4 u

One thing is, the kodo's drums...ALL units are affected by the kodo's drums ability...is it a bug or is it something you meant to do?

And, yeah I love the natural disaster idea :) Who would refuse an offer of becoming a GOD?

Finally, the "forever" time duration seems useless...I mean, 10 HOURS ???...lol...

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done
    +1
  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
