Well, that was helpful everyone. Any more ideas or suggestions, folks?
@Samsizzle and Zergling. What is a 'beat em up' and sidescrolling? I have not much understanding of either of those.
I'll try to make it less massing-ish. Yes, Inferno even though this is an Evolves Map, your ideas fit in nicely. I like to see it as a diverse massing game. Instead of allowing people to just spawn out hundreds of units to their heart's content, I've decided to make it more...tactical...so you have less units, more heroes and stronger units, and all that. Also only one of the skills improves your massing, the other two just make you stronger.
I'm debating with myself weither or not to include quests? I wanted to add a player 9 computer and later found out that they won't attack..So just no quests? I'll have caves and forrests where you can find additional bonuses, for the more adventerous of players.
You will have a commander whoes location can be set to your Observer or your Hero, and that is where you can mass your armies. Plus the normal base massing; middle massing, etc. The spells will be quite a lot like the spells on Omicron RPG; DKS 3 (and theres more), maps I'm quite familiar with playing (thank you whoever made them).
Here is a list of spells:
Earth Spells:

x Summon Bone Spiders (Broodlings)

P.S. Please do not copy this, I place full trust in you that you will not. And no one can make my own map like I can, anyway
