	New scenario idea - Lil' Shop Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I have a new idea for a scenario but my units drawings really suck.
I call it - "War of the Little Shop"
Based on the little shop of horrors movies.
Here's the story:
Venusian plants have invaded earth making an attempt at New York and only gaining that city, they have focused their power on the more remote plant favorable areas of the world. Namely South America and the Congo.
Now it's a fight between plant and mammal.
If anybody has some good unit drawings that I can use in this, they will be very much appreciated. Comments or ideas will also be welcomed.

Reminds me of an excellent '50s B&W science fiction film, Day of the Triffids. A comet passes near Earth, all who view its much-hyped passage become blind. This alone is a great premise for a film!

At the same time, a mutant plant species develops, (was it spores from the comet? - can't recall), plants which not only can spray a deadly venom, but have the ability to uproot themselves and move.

Great film! Great scenario possibilites!

There aren't many zoological and botanical units swirring around, most of them being insects or frogs.
If you have the possibility to, check out several scenarios based in tropical areas, where exotic plants and animals are used for terrain and ressources (scenarios such as Tecumseh's "Vietcong!", "Congo!" or several scens about Africa have some, there's also a tropical terrain modpack). You can use these terrain graphics for units, but they'll look small. If you can, try resizing them, then do a little correcting artwork.

Further, you can mail me and I'll send you a small assemblance of animal and possibly plant units.(eMail in my profile)

In the Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham (sp? had the book somewhere...)
the triffids were a newly discovered species of plant with limited self locomotion. They had a stinging whip lash which was poisonous.
They presented no real threat to humans because of their slow speed and were bred by humans for a plant oil (can't remember why now). Then a comet appeared in the skies and everyone who saw it became blind.
Suddenly the triffids had a massive advantage over the now slow, bumbling, blind humans...

In the scenario i'm going to include the seven civs as follows:
Plant Civs:
Venusians - Lil' Shop of Horrors plants (venus fly trap - venusians). They are the protagonist and seek only conquest.
Florians - Civilized half plant half human cross breeds. They seek a peaceful coexistence with nature and their human and plant brethren.
Triffids - Good idea. Another attacking species from Venus.
Pan American Alliance - U.S.A., Canada, Central America and South America.
European Union - Europe and British Commonwealth.
Russian Federation - Russia and colonies.
Asian Coalition - Asia including India and the Pacific.
SH - I'll send that e-mail. Thanks.
