Ok thx anywayz, 32563256 I'm glad that you are able to help I'll
be on every night so that we can talk more.

Ok, ok no more jobs! they have all been planned for and I think this is enough for the beta. All I need now is Terrain Idea's say like mountains or other things, ya know. Names for the new terrain would be good too.

Terrains that have been made!

Town-The place where you begin to build.
Ocean side-A small beach found just beyond the woods.
Woods-The place where you can find special items and basic animals
Mines-A very rare mountain scape that holds hundreds of gold mines ready to be mined.
Barrens/Desert-A very hot place where you must comsume water to survive. There are oasis' all over the desert to be found.

If there are any you can think of please post here!

sweet5 you are more than welcomed to help my friend. Just tell me your Battle.net name and I'll contact you, my name is Black_Winged. See you there, I hope you can give my group some help with your talent in map making. What can you do? Triggring, Terraining or custom unit/spells?

No more Terrain...?:(

Doh, i thought it was a really nice idea =/ Anyways, the ham was just an example in case u didn't catch that... Also, i would be very willing to write some sub-stories and plots and so on... I think that maps should be humoristic, even if it's dead serious, it can still have a humoristic touch á la Monkey Island...

Anyways, cant u at least have some dialogs that effect the game in some way, to make it more interactive...

Let's see... you choose your occupation at the beginning of the game, and then you get to hunt, farm, and travel to try to make your family's fortune while simultaneously keeping them alive...

You should call it "The Lordaeron Trail"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA... :bgrun:

sorry. Had to... maybe you could make it so now and then you had to ford a river, and your wagon sank and killed everybody...

What if it were called "Province"?
I had an idea on the alignment...
You know what a tic-tac-toe board looks like? #ish
Well imagine if you had a tic-tac-toe board on a coordinate plane
(0,0) would be neutral
(100,100) would chaotic good
(-100,-100) would be lawful evil

Basically lawfulness is determined by laws you break or follow well. Charity and stealing are evil, so if you follow the law and give people donation, you would be lawful good, but if you stole from the royal vaults and gave the money to the poor you would be chaotic good. Your actions determine your alignment and then guards sometimes don't like you because of your alignment, basically they can smell evil and they watch you very closely. The available alignments would be; Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, Neutral Neutral, Chaotic Neautral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil

All in all this sounds like a great game and I'd love to help, I'm great with triggers, physics, math, and I could probably set up random stuff like birth rates, death rates, and average prosperity and so on and make it hella realistic. Also I have a few things like tests to see what your alignment should be, and what random cargo a caravan might be carrying, even stuff like who goes from the simple farmer to a theiving bandit when poverty strikes.

About the terrain...Hmm...what about :

-A beach? (Sand)
-Along the river side (Bit grassy)
-A lake?
Hmm...all water...

-Small vilages to trade?
-A Vulcano? (Not a good idea eh?)
-A temple area. (Area with many churches, temples etc.)

I hope this helps a bit...for terrain...

Hi. If you haven't got a hero-save system implemented yet, I can do it, but I'll need the map. You could probably give me it on B.NET or email it to me at [email protected]. You'll be alble to change the map after the triggers are done, so it should be simple enough to do.
