Hey Guys, I am starting my new Poker map and want to see if the idea is worth finishing.

Basically it will be 5 card draw poker.... Instead of betting money, you bet Marines. I may even allow fighting between hands.

At the end of each hand, the winner will get 20% of the marines in the center. (20% of the marines betted from each player)

The left over marines, which you betted and everyone else betted, will battle it out. If you win, it will allow you to "salvage" some of your marines for the next hand. And the winner of the hand can sit back and watch.

So there will be a battle after every hand on the Poker table lol.

The map will be 5 player even though i only show 4 spots set up.

Sorry.....fixed..

This could have possibilities... obviously a normal poker mode should be in.. but would be neat to have a "battle to win" at the end of each hand mode.

First, you could bet different things. 1 marine = 2 zerglins = ...ect 1 ultralist = X marines... or w/e so you can "bet" not only raising your opponents in points, but strategically picking unites at the same time. The winner of the poker hand would get a buff to his unites, then the battle would take place. Some fun game play could be had in that small battle. (more so than just marines) Tho this would bring issues on "what do you "win" at the end" if all the unites are dead.. you didnt win any "poker chips" .. but you get the idea.

But none the less would be fun.

I may do Texas Holdem in the future but it is alot more complex and alot less people understand it.

Also what i was thinking is this: Help me expand on this Molsterr

Oh Ya.... I am also looking for another person to help with this map. I need someone who can create pictures and shit to go around the outside area of the poker table. Decorations, pictures of marines, Poker art decor( i want symbols of spades, hearts, diamonds, dollar signs ect. and crazy floral designs).. and what would be REALLY cool, is if i had the language of Mordor written on Frodo's ring, as a ring of text on the outside rim of my poker table.

I also need sound effects for items like: When a card is flipped over: When a card is Delt: When a card is Held, Discarded. And winning hand sound effects.

If anyone is interested please PM me.

yeah thats basically what I was thinking. But if you add more than just marines.. you can get some more "interesting" combat. But another issues with the idea that I just thought of. if you only get 20% of all the marines better, then if you bet very high, everyone folds, you end up losing more than you earn... which seems odd if you won (then again if you have more on the board then I guess youll win the fight, this returning more marines.

But also some of the fun of poker is guessing when they are just bluffing.. with the battle, you may just want to high bet no matter what, just to get a lot of unites on the field for the battle after...

Im sure with some thought theres some good solutions for this problem... regardless even if its just a plan poker game, i'd be fun to have on b.net.

If you bet Big, and everyone folds, you will get ALL your marines back and 20% of everyone elses.

Betting high all the time wouldnt be of advantage to you. Unless you always have a good hand.

If you bet Big, you may get called, beaten by the hand, and lose 20%.

Another way to set it up would be;

If you lose the hand, you should lose all your bet like in normal poker, but are allowed to fight with 20% of your bet to try and reclaim it through battle?

I may have to go as high as 50% to make the battle interesting. If the ante is 2 marines.

True, I read it as you get 20% of it all... getting all yours back and 20% of the rest would solve it.
