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

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...

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
