Ok, I'm currently working on a Wizards' Realm map (based off the Wizard Realms map for Starcraft, which was made by Leeto27 and later modified by (V)aster_Wyrm). So far, I've completed the terrain, which is still subject to tweaking, and custom stuff (abilities, units, buffs, etc.) for a very good portion of it, but I have a problem... The way this map works is, there can be up to 12 players, each with a Wizard (Blood Mage model). The objective is for the players to kill each others' Wizards and be the last one alive. Now, what you do is you go around killing creeps to gain exp, and when you level up, you get to "upgrade" or "level up" individual spell categories (Nature, Necromancy, Destruction, etc.). There are ideally 7 spellbooks, with 7 spells per spellbook for a total of 49 spells. Each spellbook also has a Level 1 spell, Level 2 spell, Level 3 spell, etc., so in order to upgrade a category to its Level 2 spell, you must first upgrade it to its Level 1 spell, which is, ideally less powerful than the Level 2 spell. Also, you cannot upgrade the same category twice in a row (i.e. If you are level 10 or something with 5 unspent spellpoints and Level 0 Nature, you can't just upgrade to Level 5 Nature instantly, you have to do Level 1 Nature, then upgrade something else, then you can upgrade Nature again) Here's where I have a problem. So far, I have completed the first four Spellbooks (Nature, Necromancy, Destruction and Summoning), but the 5th spellbook I had planned, Conjuration, is giving me more problems than it's worth, so I've decided to scrap it. Now I need a new one :> Just so you know, the other two Spellbooks I have planned after the 5th one are Darkness and Demonics, the spells for which I have already planned out and should work. If anybody has any good ideas for what the new Spellbook should be, please post them! No ideas are bad ideas (unless they're just plain wrong ;)) Also, if anybody has any other ideas to spice up the map, please post them too. Thanks! |
