The "Epic" mod brainstorm
Posted: Sun Dec 20, 2009 9:48 am
I did this over on another forum a little while - the basic idea is to come up with some wacky mod ideas, just for fun: don't worry about how impractical or ridiculous they are: let your imagination run wild
First up, a few rules that all submissions MUST follow:
- an Epic title: something catchy!
- an Epic description: an advertisement for your mod as if it were a finished product.
I'll collect them on the first post and people can vote for the ones they think are the most "Epic" To start with - it had to be said, it's been suggested before and it'll be suggested again:
Night of the Rabid Rats
Some horrific disease is ravaging the countryside, turning Rats, Rabbits, Cats and Dogs alike into murderous lunatics, and making Wolves... well, pretty much the same as before.
Meet Buck - conveniently both a martial-arts expert and completely immune to the disease. As buck you will choose between searching for a cure and/or euthanasing what amounts to the population of small country by hand - either way it'll involve kicking a whole load of zombie-rodent/feline/canine butt, all the while spouting one liners, wearing a cool bandanna and smoking a cigar that never seems to get any shorter. (wilbefast)
Bunny Ball
Two teams compete in a violent ball game - the only rule: there are no rules! Get the ball to the other team's goal to win. Avoid being kicked in the face in the process. Or if the other team has the ball: payback time! Kick in their faces! A word of caution however: there may be no rules, but if you attack a player who doesn't have the ball, the Whaleman will be displeased, and you do not want to displease the Whaleman! His red cards are red for a reason...
The game continues until there's only one team standing left, then whoever has the most points wins, even if they're all dead! (wilbefast)
The "John's Theory of Game Theory" Game
No dominant strategies here! No sir! Discover the world's first RTS with rag-doll physics! Command a small band of animal soldiers, claim territory, call in reinforcements, defeat your enemy in a gigantic game of scissors-paper-rock - but who cares about strategic simplicity? We have eye candy! Watch as your soldiers fly-kick eachother into walls: SMASH! THWACK! Use captured resources to equip them with better weapons and armour - control the "Whale Shrine" to summon the almighty Whaleman: now they're dead meat! (wilbefast)
Panda Invasion
After the end of Overgrowth, when everything is peaceful, massive ships filled with Pandas are boarding the shores. It's up to the rabbits, wolves, rats, cats, dogs, ect. to make them leave! (agarrett)
Something has stirred at the bottom of the ocean after a thousand trillion billion millennia of sleep: the fabled Whaleman has re-emerged with but one goal in mind - to show off the Phoenix physics engine by toppling buildings and punting rabbits off into the sunset.
As Whaleman you must destroy as much stuff as you possibly can, until the time limit runs out and you must return once more to the ocean. Earn high scores! Compete with your friends! And most importantly - have a Whale of a time (guffaw)! (wilbefast)
Can I Haz Cheezeburger
An epic adventure to the far side of the og world to find the fabled "cheeze burger" lost in the pages of time. You embark on this epic journey across lands to find the cats most amazing treasure. You must fight your way through other tomb raiders and in the end the "protector". This will be the first indiana jones style mod to hit the world and the most amazing. (zipil)
Corpse Cannon Carnage
The oldest siege tactic in the book is to launch heads of dead defenders into the besieged city by catapults to demoralize the enemy. No soldier can stand the head of his best friend landing in his breakfast, and if infectious diseases spread, because of day and week old brains rotting all over the city, take that as a bonus.
But why use catapults, when you can use cannons, why bother with the rest of the body, when you can just hurl it all over the wall.
Bunylon, the biggest city of the rabbit empire, is under siege by hordes of the allied Meat-eaters and they sure know how to demoralize vegetarians. Take command of the Crazy Dog's cannon battalion and let's see how many half eaten snacks those bunnies can stand in their salad.

Overgrown Overgrowth
Nothing out of the ordinary, you fight stuff. Only difference is, you are an Overgrown character, 8 times the size of everyone else. Ever played Giants: Citizen Kabuto? That game allowed to you control such a character in its last campaign. Suddenly, you just could step on the super-dangerous enemies from previous campaigns and body-check a whole army!
