Idea for a MP map

[KunoNoOni]

I hope this is posted to the correct forum. Anyways, I have an idea for an MP map and wanted to run it by you guys to see what you think about it.

I want to make it an 8 player map. You start off with 10 predetermined units, there is no recruiting. Once you reach a set amount of gold reinforcements are sent (either 5 or 10 more units, also predetermined). there are only 4 "villages" on the map in the center, there suppose to be gold mines. each gold mine gives you 25 gold on your turn ( Might change that to new turn instead of turn refresh). The object will be to defeat the other army leaders.

Now I've talked about this with a friend of mine and he gave me alot of reasons why he didn't like this idea. some of them being:

1. predetermined armies limited the strategy you could use.
2. only having 4 villages that give you gold is unfair because at most a player will only be able to hold only 1 or 2 of those villages. Which give an unfair advantage to those that hold them

So what do you guys think? Lemme know!

PS. No really, let me know what you think. please.

What you are talking about is a scenario, not a map

Well, I think you should just create such scenario and find out whether it is fun.

Then I guess I did post it in the wrong forum, my apologies...

I'm asking for opinions so I don't waste my time making something that isn't fun to play. But perhaps you are right. Thank you for your opinion

wesnoth chess has predetermined units and it's nice, so i don't see why this shouldn't, sounds quite simple to implement the wml part too
I'd say it's worth a try
