Does this appeal to anyone?

I have an idea for a map I'm making, and want to know what people think about it,
I hope this is the place to post this sort of thing.
Ok here's the setting more or less: You live in a community of zerglings in an underground city, you are a zergling. You are young and full of energy. You know the rule is to never leave the caves, ever since an evil ruler who is far, far away has been using evil powers...of some kind... To take over the minds of other zerglings and creatures across the landscapes bringing darkness to the land.
You break the rules and sneak into the caves. Your adventure begins...

I'm trying to make a simple RPG that is sling the lines of puzzle and strategy.
I want to have a map where as I explore ahead things are changing behind me, and then suddenly a random event happens. A map where you may not need to find or do a specific quest, but doing so helps with others or creates a advantage for a specificly difficult mission.

I want to create a free roaming, RPG style puzzle map, where you play a zegling who becomes a hero for his people. You venture through caves, strange forests of the outside world, run (or battle) hunters, meet strange chracters, and eventually lead an army to victory.

Ok, ok, to the Damn point I know already I'm trying not right a book now...
Does this rather broad story/ideas sound appealing to anybody? Does it sound interesting enough to play a map like this?



None.

can't help but think of the city of ember, I love the idea of having a map like this, of course transposition to starcraft is always difficult!

Book/Movie about civilization being underground or cave-like. And it sounds like you have a good head for game design.

Thanks for the support. I have a lot of ideas forsure. I am a novice with triggers but have a pretty good grasp with them. Ok, I know their are some complicated and rather cool RPG maps out their...but is leaving your RPG simple just make it unattractive...or is it time for a simple RPG to play? (Didn't say easy)



None.

NudeRaider -- PSA: ASUS apparently decided their RMA department needs to "become profitable" and for a while now outright tries to scam customers. They were called out on it a year ago, promised to change, but didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY so my recommendation: Stop buying ASUS, and if you already have and need something RMA'd, make sure to not let them bully you into paying.
