hey guys,
thanks for the input, you have some excellent ideas.
You know, I like making calls for help like this one, cause then ideas appear as summer forest fires that appear and spread fast.
Where on Earth did Iget the inspiration for this scenario?
@ see the pic of Myrsini -my daughter making a grin?

It's my daughter holding a tree-plant called Tsermunjella (it's a latin origined name). Well I was smocking on the balcony of my home in Athens-Greece, worrying for her health -she was coming down with an infection- and then the idea struck me as an interesting scenario -I know I'm sick with the game, that's all.As for the scenario map, I don't think it makes a difference if the body is male or female, since it'll be depicting the internal organs mainly - torso and head.
OK, here is the layout after doing some research:
1)the player will be Thor with the ability to create only Ulfsarks for fighting and I'll have to decide on advancement and Temple units. The game will be won by Wonder victory.
2)in the centre will be Kardia=heart=Town Centre [I'll also place another enemy TC somewhere unreachable so the player doesn't win a TC victory].
There will be another 3-4 TCs of allied comp players to simulate blood flow via trade with markets. These will be allied to the player, but will be taken over if the "virus" has more combat units around.3) the virus will be -Oscar's very good idea- mummies, who will be appearing randomly = either a QV, or have some harpies flying around and looping trigger shooting priest projectile-move to harpy and changing to mummy.
Also, the minions will be changed to mummies to depict the virus spreading effect.
4) the lungs will be 2 areas with player farms and player will be unable to build any more, so if the player loses them the body will die of "suffocation". So he'll have to guard them. No Towers or Midgols allowed, so no fortifications and walls will make for a very fighting oriented situation.
5) the vital organs will be represented by the allied comp players and they'll be tributing gold to the player (through QV), but if lost -well, he he he...
6) I'm thinking of placing also of a Plenty Vault Koth at the head, plus giving the player the use Gaia's forest GP, so as to build the houses.
7) The body "anatomy" will be a series of paths through mountains/hills, to depict the veins-blood circulation i.e. trading with markets.
well that's about it.
any comments-thoughts
best regards to all, this has been most interesting for me.
