Well, for the story, i have a lot of idea...

For the gameplay it will be easy:
the player is eather controlling the tactician or the builder. A computer will control the other one till the player wanna change. It will need custom AI and some basic triggers.

can you send me wath u have done for now?

i think we can do a lot of civilizations so for the story i am waiting you say me how it will be. Will it be in the warcraft universe or not?

ok man, you could follow the story of a growing empire, and pick one of the three characters to control through the whole campaign, like you could have one campaign where ur the tactician, and so on and so forth, that would own, and I wanna get in on this, I can do triggers and icons, pm me with some requests/ideas, thx!

Wath do you think of this for a storyline?
" The Rebuilding "
Just after the frozen throne, the different groups of Azeroth are rebuilding their kingdom and preparing for war.
- The orcs are completing their kingdom in the Barrens and want to free all their fallen brethen from the demonic corruption. Thrall build a portal to go to what is left from Draenor and he has to fight both blood elves, nagas and demons to save his kin.
- The Humans are resisting in Lordaeron and they call for help the dwarves, king Vhrain amd Jaina Proudmore. They free Dalaran and Zul-Aman from undeads before they rebuild what they can from their old glory.
- The Undeads from Arthas are rebuilding the north kingdom of sorrow, before they attack their brethren to reinforce their power. At least they launch an attack on The orcs kingdom of Durotar, to destroy the last powerfull ennemy they have.
- The Night elven are rebuilding their homeland when demons from orcish gate come to destroy those who kills their master. Afte defeating those monsters, the druids help Thrall to free his people once and for all by destroying the altar of the damned on Outland.

I think the idea of changing form the builder to the tactician is cool and interesting at all.

The main problem would be the 1337 AI needed to control the whichever you are not (tactition/ builder)

slith, first of all, I've learned to never trust people. Even less so people I've never heard of. This means that you're definently not getting your hands on our map for quite some time, sorry.

On to the campaign. Me and Legolas will complete the multiplayer-map as we have set out to do from the start, then Legolas might take on your offer of making a campaign branch of this map, however I myself don't see a part in it. By then you'd not need any more brainstorming.

The multiplayer map will have no such stories as for what race strives for whatever.

Edit: Chuck5700 - We might be intrested in some icons for the multiplayer map. These would first hand be resources. But we'd want blizzard-quality ones, if you can manage that? It would also, possibly, be some unit icons, such as Bronze swordsman, Shortbow archer and so on...

Regards

ok, what kinda resources we talkin bout, I specialize in items and such, but if you want some HQ stuff, I need time... might wanna go to someone else, just in case mine suck, and dont count it out either, I'm no wizard, just gimme the type of resource, and some specs, thx.

[edit] I dont do units, I'm sorry, its just not my forte...

there are a lot of icon threads going around, you should check in there for some unit icons, some of those guys are good, like narwanza's thread, here

WHoa, that was really freaky, when I started my short reply there was one post, when I finished, there were 2 posts before it- lol. I should refresh more often. I agree completly with dead inside (for once ;) )

Also, I might be interested in a campaign after this map is done. Ive wanted to make one for a while now, aswell. Wed only need a AI good enogh to trade, use the custom building, trade, and slightly modified fightinfg system. Act human, and use cuctom resources... Thats not really simple, and would be the main hurdle. I think we would use that basic story, but make it so you advance fro the stone age to the modern age. :D . Well, Im getting off topic now. Anyway, ill make a thread fo rthis when this map is closer to done.

Screenies of (non final) trade system). Dead-Inside triggered it, im colorizing it. Yes, I know for som eunknown reason Iron is blue the 2nd time, and ill look into it. Also the first iron is too light. I really need better color suggestions...

Yep :). I don't know what to do next... Me and legolas probably need to draw out a Techtree we're satisfied with. And Legolas needs to redo the Multiboard...
