What's your idea for a new mod/special map?

I thought I'd start a thread to ask the questions:

What would you like to see in a mod or fun map (eg. duke) for ZK? What's your idea for a new coop/team/1v1 mode that would add new exciting gameplay? What do the dev's think about ideas for mods and what is easy/hard to create?

ZK Mining or something, suggested by jK: map has limited metal per section, which is drained by mining it with mexes. When mined empty, the section collapses in an earthquake, possibly falling into lava.

One "Uncle Sam" - Mode.
No Metal Map, per user +8 Income... or so.

Well I have new old idea for quite some time basically to give commander hook and make special map for it, gameplay would be ultra fast. Best if it would like this

or at least this slow :)

but problem is I m very busy and dont have time and I will have time not sooner than 2 months later :)

ZK Plague - Normal game, except AI unit of random type spawns at random map location every 30sec. Units wander map. When killed, ai unit spawn two of the same unit type at new random location on map. Potentially, can add multiple plague AIs for extra lolz.

ZK Spawn - Start with normal game. At gradually faster intervals, which are staggered for each player, gradually larger numbers of units (starting at one) of a single random type spawn around each commander. At every interval, all previously spawned units are removed, encouraging immediate use. Objective is to destroy other commander. "My glaives are winning! No wait they turned into dirtbags I'm dying. OMG my roaches just exploded everywhere!"

ZK Fixnub - All porc disabled.

ZK Porc: All mobile units except builders are disabled.

ZK Sharing: Everyone on a team controls all the team's units, with some number of commanders at the beginning based on playercount (maybe 1 commander for every 4 people, rounded down?). This actually used to be a modoption, but not anymore.

ZK Supercommanders: All commanders go from ulti- to detri- sized from morph levels 1-5, with corresponding HP, range, and damage increases.

ZK Nukespam: Nukes (the missiles) take 30s instead of one minute, along with costing 1/3 what they do now. Nuke silos cost 2500 metal. Antinukes have their normal cost. (yes, this measn that nukes cost less than antinukes overall)

ZK Air Wars: All dedicated anti-air is disabled.

An empty 1x1 map

A giant 24x24 FFA map.

A maze map. Air is disabled, and the area on top of the walls is impassible to discourage jumpy or spider bots to go on them.

ZK Unitspam: Everyone picks a starting (mobile) unit and a builder. They can build defenses and that unit and that builder only. Athenas are disabled unless chosen. Also, the builder and the unit can both be builders (or even the same one, although that would be useless).

King of the Metal: players get fixed M income, but earn victory points for mining metal. When you mine, half the victory-metal stays sequestered in the extractor. This means you can actually destroy the enemy player's victory points to knock down his score.

So kind of like monobattles. That would be fun. Although I wonder if it would be better if only the basic defensive turrets would be unlocked, otherwise it could end up as a huge porcfest.

Conway's Teeth: bring back Dragons Teeth, every 5 or so seconds they all mutate according to Conway's Life rules. Possibilities are endless!

- make "classic" dragon's teeth with 2x2 blocks or beehives!
- send a spaceship at an enemy army to disrupt their pathing!
- create an oscillator to make a gate that opens and closes!
- aim a glider gun at the enemy fac!
- get an eater for antiglider defense!
- use a puffer train to ruin the game!

quote: Wander map with com and a couple of chosen support units, finding small "bandit groups" of enemy units tied to small area. Defeat the gradually tougher bands to reclaim for metal. Find bonus units you can capture by standing next to them.

There used to be a Spring mod, Micro Modules by KDR_11k. You started with a bunch of units and could summon aggressive neutral units at will - you got additional units for killing them.
