8 players have a base in the corners and in between. Each player beggins with nexus, hive or terran headcuarters and some builders/collectros, and they have to build up their defenses as they want, In the middle of the map is a demon, a huge hybrid with big health, fast regen, armor,... and in each base, there is an altar. There you can give cristals or gas to god or evil, and there comes the originality of this map.
If you give money to devil, and you are the one that gives the most money (there is a leadder board), then a drone in an island apart is created. In that small island there are 8 beacons representing player's base. if you move your drone to that base, the evil will go attack it.
You get money by gathering and by doing damage (both minerals and gas), so attacking other players will give you money too.
But if you give money to god, some random effect will affect your troops depending on how much money you give to god. This effects are increased HP, incresed damage, increased armour and increased regen rate.
If another player gives more money to devil than a previous one, he will control the devil and the previous one will loose control.
Giving money to god affects you no matter how much money other players give.
stealth attacks are not allowed, so no transport for troops and no protoss gateways and no zerg nidus channels.
Maybe other modifications can be done, but if i explained me well enought, i think you will get to understand this map.
Your gonna need to be very careful. Some DOTA map got banned because they had a loading screen with Jesus arm wrestling with the devil. Too bad we gotta deal with these restrictions.
I never played diablo but keep in mind, its rated M in contrast to sc2's Teen rating. Therefore blizzard will be a lot more strict about what goes into starcraft than with what they put into diablo. I'm totally buying diablo 3 tho.
it does not need to have religious concepts. May it be just good vs evil, ot terran vs hybrid lord. Something like that.
Also, rushing to attack demon you will earn a few $, but loose the cost of your troops, a total loose, and remember, the one that control the evil will earn money by destroying your troops too. The idea is that if you get the demon, you can attack your enemys while focusing on eco. The other players can focus on blessing their forces hoping they last long enought to make their troops so strenght that they can do more money by attacking than they cost, but this will take long, and evil may win. By the way, while your troops arent strong enough, better focus on eco than attacking evil.
The concept is that you can give sacrifice to the evil, and give a reward by using his evil powers for the war, or pray god and receive their strenght.

I'm not a mapper, but i have a great idea:

Do you want this idea to come true?
Could someone not instantly spam minerals on devil and use it to rush at the start of the game? Otherwise, nice idea.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Blizzard won't let you publish this map because of religious reasons. It's silly isn't it?
@LazyCoder: Go
I was just about to say that.

this is very true, however, you could just give money to "good forces" and "evil forces"
All you gotta do is examine how Blizz skirted religion in Diablo 2 when the entire game looks like a Christian mythology. Then apply it to your map :D
@psaval: Go
I'll try and write up a concept for this map for you tomorrow and play around with other features that the game could possibly have. :]
