So, most people have played games like Epic war right?
Epic war

2 (http://www.kongregate.com/games/rudy_sudarto/epic-war)
3 (http://www.kongregate.com/games/rudy_sudarto/epic-war-3)
4 (http://www.kongregate.com/games/rudy_sudarto/epic-war-4)
 Well I was thinking about something like that for
...

wait for it...

...

ELEMENTS! the basic idea would be the same as Epic war, reduce your opponent's castle to rubble.

I need some help with
A) art.
and
B) actually making the game.

I have the actual floor plan laid out. but need help with the construction.

Will be listed as.
*ELEMENT*
*Basic creature*
*Mid-range hitter*
*Dragon*
*Spell*
*Permanent*
Here we go...
:entropy ENTROPY :entropy
Micro abomination
Abomination
Amethyst Dragon
Chaos Power (Next creature played will have double power.)
Dissipation Shield (All opponents attackers must attack your creatures before the castle) :death DEATH :death
Skeleton
Flesh spider
Ivory dragon
Plague (All opponents creatures, as of this moment, die in 50 seconds.)
Graveyard. (When your creatures die (Except skeletons) they are replace by a skeleton.)
So you guys get the general gist of it. Everything else would be laid out pretty much the same as the game Epic War.

Play it. This seems like an intresting idea. Maybe post it on Kong to get some extra cash flow for Zanz. I would love the idea of crushing stuff with Grav Pull.

I'll add a link. ALso age of war. The basin idea is summon creatures, then attack the opponent, kill his creatures. Destroy his castle and use the money you get for upgrades so you can destroy moar castlezz.

You know, I was thinking about writng up a basic tower defense game based on Elements.  12 Elemental Towers, a few Weapons and Shields, and the monsters doing the attacking. 

Great minds think alike, I guess. :)
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

Both of you programmers?

I would have loved to do something like this, but alas, I'm not that familiar with programming.

Mean either, just tossing out some ideas.  :-[

I've thought about trying it as soon as I can convince some great artists that happen to be friends of mine to help with the artwork.

Not a big fan of the Epic War series. Too repetitive. Tower Defense sounds like all kinds of awesome, though.

if was tower defense you design your towers to look like the pillars and each pillar would cast a spell based on its element.

I'm actually a big fan of the Epic War series, especially Two and Four. I think a lot of spin-off games could be made from Elements, "summon creatures, then attack the opponent, kill his creatures. Destroy his castle and use the money you get for upgrades so you can destroy moar castlezz" and tower defense being just two.

For Epic War style Elements, there could be 12 kingdoms of which you choose one, and you have to conquer maybe three cities in each of the 11 remaining kingdoms. Possibly even gain the creatures/spells of the kingdoms you conquer?

To add to the basic ideas:

:gravity GRAVITY :gravity
Graviton Guard
Elite Charger
Massive Dragon
Black Hole (opponent's creature production is delayed for 5 seconds)
Gravity Shield (opponent's large creatures have reduced movement speed)(maybe the mid-range hitters and dragons would be defined as large, basic creatures would be unaffected)

:earth EARTH :earth
Antlion
Steel Golem
Basalt Dragon
Granite Skin (increases your castle's maximum health by 1,000)(depends on the scale; not a huge amount, since I assume these spells are run on cooldowns or mana, both of which are reusable?)
Titanium Shield (decreases damage done to your castle by 20%)

:life LIFE :life
Forest Spectre
Elite Cokcatrice
Jade Dragon
Epinephrine (your creatures' attack speed is doubled for 20 seconds)
Feral Bond (for every creature you have, heal 1 health/second)(may even be underpowered if you have 10 creatures and 10,000 health or something)


I'll add more later, but right now I need to sleep.

All of these numbers just randomly came off the top of my head, so they could use some balancing. I was just putting out the ideas.

I don't think we're pushing to get it developed into a game just yet, but rather discussing the concept and seeing if it sparks interest?

I don't like Epic War, but Elements has enough cards to make this work. :D
The problem may be the graphics... Right now creatures and stuff have only one picture.
