All things subject to change I was wondering if I should work on a map like this. I would also like to say Not an AOS. Note: I will go into detail about each a little further down the post. Its a 2-4 (maybe) kill the temple type thing. The map will be big to allow you time to do things other then hunt and slaughter. -Custom Heros & Spells -Minigames, shops, wildlife, and town and such -Wild Shops [Sell items not in town, carries better stuff but higher price]* -Secret areas* -Hireable, Recruits from town* -Reputation system* -Optional quests* -Fear Factor (Barter) / Holyness* -Duels (On request)* -Houses* -Launch wars* -Training grounds -God Favors, temple blessings HIREABLES / RECRUITS -------------------------------- About hireables/recruits, some people can only be gained through a certain reputation. Ex: Say a "Demon Guard" can be hired and is more evil then anything, so you might need a -30 Rep. to be allowed to hire it. Recruits are kinda the same but sometimes lets say your Rep. is 40 and HOLY, then you can try to launch a holy crusade against a target (Temple/Follow you around for a while) causing some of the towns members to leave and attack with you, and some shops might be closed down also. The chance for X Units and even if the attack will work will be based on [REP, Time after last war by you, HOLY/Evil] and maybe more stuff. REPUTATION SYSTEM ------------------------------ Hmm.... how to say it. Complete quests for certain ppl will reward diff rep. Say you complete a task for a dark wizard -10 rep whereas complete a task for a palidan and +10 rep. Kill townsppl / guards and kings will award +/- rep also. FEAR FACTOR / HOLYNESS ---------------------------------- A) Fear factor: The more you kill and or the more skilled you are the better the price reduction on items you barter. I am buying a $600 sword and attempt to barter with the shopkeeper and he sees I am very feared so he might take off like -$200. B) Holyness: Depending on what deeds you do you can a Holy/Evil rep also. Holyness make crusades against people more likely where Evil is the oppisite. Evil can allow you to enlist powerful demon magic and such. DUELS (On request) ----------------------------- You can request a duel with another person and wage $$ on the fight. You win the duel and become more skilled and stuff, whereas you lose and people might think less of you. Still developing ideas. HOUSES ---------------- Mainly a place to store goods, but can also provide boosts to stats, healing and mana reg + other things also. These houses will be out of the way so if you want to go home, you might be far from your temple or a big fight. Can be upgraded to have guards to protect from thiefs ;), and when upgraded enough can train small amounts of units. LAUNCH WARS -------------------- See REPUTATION SYSTEM. Can launch holy wars, Raids and pillages, evil wars and other types of things. SECRET AREAS + OPTIONAL QUESTS ------------------------------------------------ Self explanitory, but might add stuff here............. MINIGAMES, WILDLIFE, TOWNS ----------------------------------------- A)Wildlife will be animals, plants and such that can help or hinder your hero. You can hunt animals for cash and can get hurt, make potions and herbs or make something bad on aciddent, drink from streams for small health boost or get hurt, can carry stream water in vials/jars to drink elsewhere (No food/water system). B)Mini-games. Well you can play minigames for fun or profit and can also play minigames with other players. Problem is though these take you away from the field. You will get no refund if you quit the minigame in progress, but keep whatever earnings you made. There will be slots for people and changing things (Tark cards only has 4 player slots, but each slot has a diff deck but you cna choose from an open spot and get that deck) and there might from time to time be AI playing there...taking slots but not actually playing [maybe]... but there will always be a 1 person thing here the AI gamemaster can play you if noone else will. C) Towns. Well just towns.. but they can be manipulated as they can be turned to war towns, some shops will close at certain times, and the like. TRAINING GROUNDS ------------------------------ Well for 1exp = 3gold you can train here for EXP. this will take you away from battle and is a slower method of gathering exp. Battle is best way to gain exp. Hmm forgot what I was gunna say... I currently have 2 mini-games and 1 other thing and 2 wild shops. Mini-games ------------------- Tark Cards (Card Game) Hunting: Can hunt in a said area for said amount of time, and then can go and sell hunted animals/items to villages. Shops (Names subject to change) ------------ Potion Shop Griff armory |

p.h.o.b.o.s you should not double post. what exactly does obs mean anyway. you know you can simply delete that second post by hitting the edit button than checking the box for delete than hitting delete now....i think i should make a tut for this. no one understands it. anyways to my point... i think this definately has some potential. make it and hopefully you will finish it. a lot of people just don't finish thier maps. and add more mini-games. mini-games own all. |

Sounds great. Just stay away from anything resembling Felucca and Trammel. |

Sounds fun. When you say the game is for 2-4 people, are the all allied, enemys, teams, or users choice. A sugestion I have with the reputaion system is the more evil or good the character is the less gaining and lowering or reputation will affect them. An example is a person who is neutral (say 1 reputation) and does something good, their reputation goes up by say 5 (to 6). If the character is good (lets say 40) and does the deed they get 2(to 42). If the character is bad (-40) they get 2 (-38). Good luck on the map. |

Looks pretty cool. Try and make it a little better! |

Thx ppl. Yes I will try to do this, and to answer your question ObsidianTitan I mean 2-4 Temples. Maybe 3 for 9person match, or maybe if only 2ppl are playing, 2 temples. 4 Ppl = 2 temples 6ppl = 2-3 (User Choice?). 8= 2-4 and 12 ppl = ?? (Like Im ever gunna get 12 to join :P) Sorry if this is confusing, I am still getting the raw details planned out. There is 1-4 teams allowed. I think I will just do it 3 Temples, 3 ppl per team, Unbalanced teams (Aka 5v3) the team with less ppl (at start) will be given extra hero choices... like more wisps or something to even out teams. 5v3v2 Match up: 5 Person Team = Stay Same 3 erson Team = 2 Extra hero choices 2 Person Team = 3 Extra Hero Just a thought..... but the idea is not going to be like REAL LIFE, it will still have the main kill temple plan. Might make it mini-AoS like each team regularly sends out 3 troops just to keep action going. Need mini-game ideas |

Thunder-Hunter, this looks like it has potential. I encourage you to develop the idea. Do you think you'll have screenshots soon? |

Guest | I think it looks good :D :foot: :D :foot: |
