First of all this is going to be a on-line RPG, with a save function similar to the one that everyone is playing right now (2nd map is plains of media...) anyway, this will only have 1 map however, with a semi liniar layout. I say semi liniar because basically the middle 3/4 of the game you will be lost in human land, obeying 2 orders from each one of the 9 human kings (18 quests) in which you will find the items you need to make the game fun, and lvl up.

-storyline-
in the begining you are a grunt, in the great orc city. You are part of a large force that has been built up to go take over the human lands, which are vast and beautiful. However, the army is not sure just how vast and beautiful these lands are, or how well protected, so they send u grunts out to spy. (most of this will be cinimatic, and in the begining of the game player1 will pick weather or not this game is a begining, middle or late stage game, you will not be able to have a preplayed hero for a begining game, and your grunt must have all 18 king quests done to play late game)

Anyway as you walk out to the human lands (through seperate tunnels, for the begining at least i want everyone to lvl on there own, they will meet in a large human city with an arena where they can fight each other) the tunnels close, and the grunts are out to fend for themselfs.

As they make there way to the city, the grunts will enconter many renagades, and there pets which have almost taken over the land. As you kill the renagades, you will collect there skulls. When you arive at the human city (where all the grunts will meet up, and for middle stage games start at) you will goto the king and show him the skulls. He will then tell his people not to be hostile with u, because you are clearing out the savages trying to take over his land. (you dont mention that you are part of a spy force)

After talking with him and doing his quests, you will have to go around to other citys to do there kings quests (in any order you feel like, lvling doesn't do anything for your ability to fight, except to give you a point to put into 1 of 15 spells, or specialize in melee or ranged attack, items provide damage bonuses, life and mana bonuses, attack speed, and armor)

Finally after you tell the main king that you have done everything the other kings have asked for, he will tell you a way to get back to the orc city, which you will do and go back. (This makes you eligible to play on to a late game, and join any late or medium game)

Once you are back to the orc city, you find that the strike force is 20 times larger than it was when you left, yet, you feel that you now have a bond with the humans, and dont wish to destroy them, especially since the king said that your kind was welcome to a half of his kingdom (part of the last speach the king gives u in a cinimatic that occurs when u tell him that u finished the king qusets.)

In any case u cant tell the cheiftan this, becaues u would be killed for treason, so you drag your feet to the caves once again, only this time with an enormos force, which easily removes the barrars which once kept you from arriveing back with your report. At this point, the Human king has sent an ambassator to the caves, to talk to the cheiftain about sharing the kingdom (due to your positive impact on him) and the ambassator recognizes you with this massive army (which he, as well as the king and all the humans are unaware of). So he talks to u. U tell him that the orcs are planing on invadeing, and that if u speek out against the cheiftain that u will be slayn, so u tell the ambassator to go back to the king to organize a force, so that the orcs are willing to take half the kingdom instead of all of it. In the end you play ambassator with the king and the cheiftain, and all is hapilly ever after, and all u have left to do with your lvl 220+ grunt is help other people in the middle stage of the game and find better items to fight other lvl 220+ grunts in the arena in the city :P

Any questions or comments, plz post, i kindof have all the ideas planned out, and am not really willing to remove anything. Yes you are a grunt. i am trying to get some1 to make me more animations for him so that it wont be boring (at this thread http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/s...threadid=39217) also, game will be in 3rd person camera, and terrain is about 30% done. The effect of leveling will have VERY little impact on a fighters ability, because i dont want the last kings quests to be much easyer than the first ones, and id like a smart lvl 15 player kill a stupid lvl 100 player. even mages wont have much benifit from lvling, if they dont get the better items, so more than anything else, doing little side quests and stuff for the best items will be important for your combat ability.

P.S. At that thread above, if you no how to animate, plz go there, im willing to pay 150 points to gety those animations done, im 3/4s done with terrain, done with 6 of the 18 king quests and have all the item/spell ideas down on paper (done while VERY bored in physics :P) anyway if you like wish me luck.
