Sounds really good, kind of like populous: the beginning, though I don't know why, it's completely different. Anyway, i would like to see this, I think it's fine the way it is now, the only thing I might want to know about is what kind of spells we can cast... |

aw man i was going to make a map like this i swear i was. about 3 weeks ago i was like man i'm gunna make a black and white map. but i forgot alot about the map so it was on hold untill i finish some other ideas i have. well i have a lot i can offer to this map and if you would like i would be happy to help since i was going to make one anyway. i'm a bad *** triggerer and i own custom spells. i am pretty damn good at terrain now. i used to suck but i have been practicing and i got some good techniques. also i am learning to skin and model. if you would like my help i would be more than happy to. just pm if you need anything at all. p.s. u never mentioned the creatures that you train to be good or evil. i'm sure i could work a system out for that. |

The chooseable Prodigy's are: Cure - 100 Belief Cures a friendly unit 50 HP, at high ranges. Food - 150 Belief Summons 5 food for your people to eat. Vision - 125 Belief This is for seeing long distances, finding out what armies the enemy has and things. It is a ultra jacked up farsight. Lightning Bolt - 250 Belief You can figure this one out. :) It does 400 damage, which kills almost anything. Fireball - 200 Belief A fireball which gains area the longer is is flying. It does 225 damage per hit, and can hit up to 50 enemy units. Blizzard - 225 Belief A very jacked up version of blizzard. Coulja guess? Thats all the chooseable Prodigys. The secrets will not be released untill a later time. EDIT: Sorry, you beat me to posting. There is currently no system for the creatures, so I might get you on the team. Im going away for possible surgery today, but I'll be back on tuesday. Talk to you then. |

sounds good. i already know how i could go about making the creature system and all that. will the creatures have spells? if not that would make my job 10 times easier. i don't think they will since the temples will have spells but maybe you wanted to make some special attacks using spells. that i could do too. oh man i got so many ideas. deffinately pm me man my head will explode with so much good stuff if you don't let me help! ahhhhhhhhhh |

hey everyone i was just wondering how many people would actually like to play this map. right now i'm doing the creature system which will be freeaking awesome. i'm setting it up so that the creatures learn the spells(prodigy's) if they are close to the temples when they are cast and also will be setting up the evolve system pretty soon. so you will be able to create your creature to be good and also to be evil depending on how much you reward/discipline(spank,beat,punch or whatever you wanna call it) your creature. the creature will be ai controlled thanks to spectre but you will be able to influence it. force move it to spots and give it forced commands but for the most part it will want to do things on its own. these commands will be unique because we are planning on making them so that they are in a menu not actually selecting the move command and depending on how much the creature trusts/respects you or what not adds to the chance of it listening to you. edit: i am thinking of making a level system based on trust not on kills but that must be discussed with spectre first and he is away for the moment so tell me what you guys think. |

Funny. I got most of the way through making a map quite similar to this, right before The Frozen Throne came out. I took a "break" from it to work on another map which I still haven't finished. However, it's more of a really wack melee game than a population control. You summon "gods" which are up to three dragons that function as heros. All of the resource areas are isolated, so that the only way to expand is to wipe out whatever civilization exists in a region, and then convert a citizen (an innate ability that the gods possess) and build anew. Also, all the races have several buildings which increase the power and abilities of your priests (the same guys that summon the gods), the gods, and your regular peasants and whatnot. Maybe I'll finish it soon. I'm finally almost done with the map I got sidetracked onto. Good luck with "Black and Whitecraft" :yup: I loved Black and White and was disappointed to hear that it doesn't work at all on XP. Maybe you could pm me if you would like a tester. |

Genious people gets the same ideas :) Nothing wrong with that :) Sounds fun and advanced, nice to see :) Keep up the good work :) |

I almost finished a map like this, but i got a new and better comp, except i think mine had alot cooler stuffs. I figured out how to cast fireball like on the game, and just about all the spells. Even search for it, i had a thread. |
| 10-18-2003, 05:45 PM | #13 |
i'm happy to see people are showing some interest. if there is anything at all you would like to see implemented into this game let me or spectre know and we will debate it. i may be an evil genious but i can't think for everyone. ;) |

It hits me as age of mythology. Which is awsome cause that game kicks ***. I'll for sure play it. |

If you go to my old thread entitled, "My god based map" then you can copy the test fireball map's triggers that i made. That was an early version, so it doesn't arch. But it took some time to figure out, and if it were to do some help i would be happy. Cuz if I can't use it, hopefully someone can. |
