Description of Project: You awake in a world covered with tribes, factions, empires, etc... of races. Your job is simple, either be accepted by any means into a tribe, faction, empire, etc... of your choice by doing who knows what or start your own empire by recruiting anyone to help in aiding the beginning of a great new empire. Some Fun Features of the Project: You can save and load your empire. You won't be able to save and load it exactly but good enough to make this game worth playing over and over and over again. You can name your empire at any point in the game. You can conquer neutral empires, tribes, etc.. On the map at any point in the game. Once a tribe, empire, etc... is weakended to a certain point they will probably join your empire. Disclaimer Counters: 1A. Some people might think that as you get your empire stronger all neutral empires, tribes, etc.. would become very easy to conquer. I plan on making 3 different terrained worlds each with more vast and difficult to conquer empires, tribes, etc.. 1B. Some people might think that each world would eventually get easy. Well maybe if you got an empire over have the size of the map or whatever. However the neutral empires you go against grow as you grow. They may not seem to grow as fast but thats because it's random on how hard they are each game. They can have advanced 2 times as much as you in the next game you played or been in a huge battle which costs them half their units! There will be thousands among thousands of various empires, tribes, etc.. you can go against. Each empire will have random progress that randomly be harder or easier. 2. Sounds like a 1 player game? Wrong, save and load is like some maps on bnet. This save and load process uses Upper and Lower case letters, numbers, and shift keys. This will probably be a 4-5 player game max. Map sizes: 192x192 - 256x256 most likely, maybe bigger. Question: Is this possible? Answer: You have only seen the core plans. Question: How long would this enormous project take? Answer: It will be done when it's done and I start recruiting map makers today. Question: Will there be any sort of website for this map? Answer: Yes I plan on finishing it today. Question: Ok so no current release date but can you tell me if this is going to be done before sc2... Answer: Well since SC2 apprently hasn't even been started yet probably way before. I work very fast and it's summer time!Global Peril: The Clash of Domination **************************************************************************************************** **************** Jobs Open: - Terrain Design (Core design of the worlds in this project) - Explosion / Projectile Design (Modeling) - Jass or Highly Experienced Trigger Assistant - Explosion / Projectile Editor (Modeling / Skinning) (Modifying Explosions/ Projectiles slightly for different variants projectile / explosion. **************************************************************************************************** **************** If I need to recruit anyone else for a different job I will probably post it here. |

Oh, oh, oh wait a moment. This is a battle.net map. 192 x 192 and/or 256 x 256 is nearly unplayable for most people. Already taking care that quite an amount can't play it, but now by inserting new models? That does it and only those with a great computer can play it, meaning that the project would not become *TOO* populair. My compliments on the idea though, because it sounds terrific :D Even though I am ABLE to help, I don't think I will. This project is a bit too ambitious. Take it as no offense, but projects such as these usually never finish. I certainly hope this one will. I'll look forward to any progress -Fladian |
