Power of Corruption Plot ideas

Those ideas have been moving on our heads the last months... but now I want to hear what people think about this.

Just some ideas of pwnage name.

Sounds pretty good. I like the 'origin-story' for the Venom Warrior. :P

My only issues would be with the name of the protagonist, and the idea of "Supreme Enchantress/Myrmidon". For the former; meh, just short and somewhat non-descript, but it's more of a personal opinion. For the latter... I don't know, just sounds gimmicky for what is otherwise a realistic, awexome project. Like "ooh I'm the Mega-Myrmidon; PHEER ME!"
Maybe look through some Greek words/prefixes and come up with something cool for them (because of "Myrmidon's" Greek origins). Meh.

I dunno, it sounds a bit repetitive. As in, most of the latter half is: some threat emerges, she has to take control of a new aquatic unit using her item.

Y'know what might help (totally a "might"). Give her a quasi-superior, that's a Naga (not the Orc Warlock guy).

Reason being is that it will allow you to make plot exposition much more easily, and better yet, introduce new units every couple maps quite easily. Best example I can give is the RoC Undead campaign; Arthas was the main character, but Kel'thuzad was the "veteran" (basically) of the Undead.

I might have to do that Venom Warrior skin over again in this case...campaign quality no release FTW! :P

I´m not sure whether it is a good idea first to let nagas raise to power and then the demons gains dominion over nagas. It ´s too simple a sheme of "rise and fall of an empire". Is there no possibility for a more balanced end of the campaign?

Thanks for your comments, here' my reply:

Thanks for the names, I'll think about which of them keep :)

Well, I did it in that way because the purpose of this campaign is to introduce the naga race to new users in a game way. If you have any suggestion to approach this with a better plot ideas, I'm open to any suggestions.

Hmmm.... could be, could be...

???

As I said, I'm open to ideas and this is not the definitive plot. We're looking for ideas so we can give a better approach and, as you said, a more balanced end. Any comments and suggestions are welcome :)

ok, concrete suggestions:

1. Your naga storyline follows the sheme: next map, next unit. Maybe break this sheme in the demon campaign. Start with many (or all untis). Then there are missiosn only for 1 hero or for a small group of units.

2. Do you want more a „battle story line“ (one battle and then the next) or more a charakter storyline (heros and their decisions)?

3.Maybe it is a possibility to avoid a „closed front“ nagas on one side, demons on the other. (In melee maps, you can with 4 players play demon/naga vs demon/ naga too). For example, the demons have a debate in which way handle the naga danger. 1 leader (brutal lord pe) decides to attack the nagas immidiatly. After small successes they are totally beaten and must go to the side of nagas to save their lifes. But the other demon leader was a more carefull Charakter. He searched other (magic/demonic) possibilities. Maybe he can infiltrate the fallen demons with one of his trusty allies, so surprising attacks are possible or something like demon attackers against demon defenders. Or in story something like a troian horse.

Only ideas, maybe usefull... its not easy to avoid cliches in phantasy, its all written.

I suggest you should put some of the original races in the campaign, maybe edit them a bit, Such as Kul'Tiras colonist or southsea(?) pirate. And don't forget the Makura, they're one of naga's main enemy.

I agreed with Gwydal about that "rise and fall of an empire".

Sure, actually we were thinking that Demon Campaign must be focused on Lord of Darkness, because he wants to get the power of the gem and use it for its own benefit, the story could flow based in this premise.

In Naga is more focused on Battles (but there's parts where Aliz will be only accompanied with some few units) In Demons, the story will be more focused on Lord of Darkness' decisions and actions.

In general, the plot in both campaigns must be done in such way that we can have parts in the story where the player can train units and learn how to use them. I love the idea of having both battle stories and character stories. Just need some balance.

hmhmhmhmhmhmmmmm.... Definitely we need to see if this can be done... the only thing I would change is to use Infernal Knight instead brutal Lord, he's more like the super boss in demons that any enemy should deal... but... well... why not?

I'm totally agree with you, you end loving cliches :)

Thanks for your suggestions, I'll try to make up something.

Pirates.... hmhmhmmmm I like that idea. About Makruras, we could add them as optional quest to get strong items. Resources is what we have :)

Thanks for your comments.

Here's the information I acquired about the Makrura's city known as "Mak'aru".
The information also tells about naga's city Nazjatar.

What I suggest is don't make your main heroine be exiled at the beginning of the campaign. Maybe she was ordered to fight the Makrura and have been betrayed by someone(?).

The old god's tidehunters still lied beneathe the bottom of the sea too, i think. XD

Good Luck on your maps

Even though this is totally a Blizzard cliche by now (e.g. Raynor blows up a Zerg Base, Duke says "WTF WAS THAT FOR?!"), I agree that this sounds like a good place to start. If she's just exiled at the start, the player doesn't get the same sense that the main character was totally not-guilty (in the beginning), and there's less of a sense of betrayal or incentive for revenge (from the player's point of view).

Starting from the suggested point in the story allows you to give the player vindictive satisfaction when he/she finally achieves the ruination of those fools who exiled the main character.
