Lately, I have been thinking about an among us scenario in which the currently popular game "Among us" is ported into an DE scenario. Man, if Gallas would still be here he would have already made it (or work on it).
This is plainly a thought scenario on how this could look like (Preferably without a mod needed), + Brainstorming on how we could overcome limits of trigger
The "astronauts" are male Villagers (must be, else tasks couldn't vary much), ghosts are female villager with higher attack speed to replace the walking through buildings
The scene is a medieval villager in the middle surrounded by water, with everything game design necessary (Voting Area, Venting disappear spot, Sabotage area etc.) on the outside
There are several places with tasks
Barracks (Bring Armor from the Blacksmith to a spearman)
Archery Range (Set up 3 Target Practices)
Stable (Tame a Wild Horse outside the villager and bring it to the stable, Feed it with Hay)
Hunt site (Collect 20 Food from a deer)
Graveyard (Build a Monastery at a marked area)
Infirmary (Bring a Medical Bush, I would prefer a plant entity but many player have that "No plants" mod)
Market (Fix a Broken Cart)
Main Entrance (Defend from an Attack by garrison into a tower and kill an endlessly healing army that only dies from 2 tower shots)
Blacksmith (Collect 10 Gold and bring it to the Blacksmith)
Dock (Collect 10 Wood and bring it to the Dock)
Outpost (Show the new intern Scout Cavalry the way to the outpost)
The Outpost equals the Security Camera, standing next to the Outpost gives you certain Map Revealer on the Map)
Those are all my ideas so far.
Crucial Tasks sabotaged by the imposters (which have to be done within 60 seconds)
Fix Eyesight at the monk in the Infirmary (Equally, to Fix Lights, your LOS drops, if that damn Modify Attribute Trigger would work)
Fix Trade Bridge (Repair a broken bridge)
Rebuild Stonewall (A Saboteur has destroyed chunks of your walls, rebuild them)
Famine (Collect 10 Food anywhere and garrison into Towncenter)
Kill Wild Boar (A Wild Boar is attacking a crucial Outpost, kill it)
Kill Mechanic
The first problem with that mechanic is that the non-imposter could kill anyone else as it's not possible to prevent villagers from attacking. However, setting the Attack Speed of Villagers to something like 90 ingame seconds works perfectly, Increasing the Range to match the Hunter Range is also possible. Hunters are also not affected by that Attack Speed so if the Imposter do Fake Tasks it wouldn't be sus.
Another issue would be the Report Feature because the "Object Visible" Condition only works on Units or Buildings, not on Eye Candy (such as impaled Corpses), meaning that corpses would have to be displayed as a living unit (which is weird)
Venting:
Venting is easily possible by simply selecting special Units (e.g Gaia Kings), the Imposter Villager gets teleported elsewhere on the map and map revealers on the possible venting spots are created. Selecting another King Teleports him to that location.
Emergency Meeting:
Should also work with Trigger, and all Villager gets Teleported to the Towncenter
Voting:
Well There are plenty of Voting systems (mainly Boot player votes) in CBA's or other CS. There will be a way, and you can also somehow display who voted on who, and who skipped
Sabotage:
Imposters will just be able to choose what they want to sabotage on their special Sabotage Island
Tasks:
Displayed as Objectives similar as in the Cicero Build Order Guides
Task Progress:
Probably a Resource (With all the Repairing, Wood, Food and Gold collecting, very likely stone) that increases from 0 to 100 for all players
Ghosts:
Dead Villager turn into female one with greater movement speed, can still do tasks
Ejects:
Well that's mainly a detail and I don't know if there should be a cinematic (with Mods you could easily launch a Villager Graphic with a Treb outside the walled City lol)
Report:
If the Condition of a Corpse being Visible is met, the Innocent could move a unit (probably idle military button for fast reporting) on their island to initiate a meeting, There is also an Area which will be revealed that shows who is still alive and who isn't + who found which body
I think that project would need to be done by a team of CS maker, until a single person is finished with it the hype about among us has probably already declined
Thoughts?
