Call to Arms: A Footman's War (Image Intensive)

08-27-2004, 05:10 PM

Change Log:

Friday, August 27- 2:30PM: Added 3 images of the recipe reference

The Goal:
After playing countless "Footman Frenzy" maps, and suffering through thousands of imbalanced, glitched, and unbalanced gameplay, I set out to make a more strategic, action packed, balanced Footman Wars.

The Features:
+ 4 Races
|-- Alliance (Human and High Elf)
|-- Horde (Orc and Trolls)
|-- Scourge (Undead and Nuebians)
|-- Night Elf (Night Elf)
+ Large Varity of Items
|-- Charged
|-- Ability (Unlimited use of an ability)
|-- Combative
|-- Equipment
+ Item Combinations
|-- Combine several items to create a more powerful item
|-- Merge elements into equipment
+ 12 completely custom heros, with 5 custom abilities each
+ 3 tiers of 4 types of units.
|-- Melee (Begin with tier 1 melee researched)
|-- Ranged
|-- Casters
|-- Flying (requires 2 research points per tier)
+ A carefully enforced "counter square"
|-- Melee > Ranged
|-- Ranged > Flying
|-- Flying > Caster
|-- Caster > Melee

General Gameplay:

Select a race
Choice your hero
Choose your tech from ranged or caster (melee teir 1 is researched, flyinf requires 2 research points)
Select the type of unit spawn with the ability on your main structure
Attack the enemy, purchase items, and upgrade.
Rinse and repeat.

Holy crap that looks awesome! I know what you mean when you say the other footman wars were poorly made, yet many people still play the versions where red gets the "God" hero and they think it's fun and in their mind it's not rigged because they're the person who has the rigged hero... Very good job! I hope you finish it soon! If you need any help ask me I can do like custom spells and stuff, new heroes, etc. etc. Well, GREAT job!!!

Thanks for the feedback! I could use some help coming up with some hero spells (Alliance is completely done, but I havent started orc's hero spells).

Heres whats done:
+ Alliance [Everything but attack/defence upgrades]
+ Horde [Everything but hero abilities]
+ Scourge [Balancing the units]
+ Night Elf [Nothing ;)]

Edit 1: If you have AIM or MSN, it would make this easier

Edit 2: Next 10 attachments for above :\

Mech-Sheep	Let's just hope this is a change to the crappy Footman Wars I've been playing. BTW: You spelt "Shaman" wrong.

LegolasArcher	Yeah, I know some of the tooltips need to be reworked, but i'm concentrating on getting spells and units done right now. Ill fix out spelling mistakes as they're pointed out.

08-28-2004, 06:40 PM	#6
Vandell	I'll do all the good tooltips and spelling errors and such. I'm the master of polishing, baby! ;D >_> Or, very good at it, at least.

Bhaal	Omg mon that looks good. Are you doing this all by yourself?? Nice work

08-28-2004, 07:40 PM	#8
Vandell	Pssh, pssh! Hardly! Me ish doing a decent portion, such as balancing and hero creation and polishing..

08-28-2004, 09:14 PM	#9
LegolasArcher	I wouldn't use the term "hardly" ;) ; but you are correct that Vandell will do practically all the the balancing, tooltips, and heros.

DarkSnake	nice idea lego ill have to test it lol

Ralconn	This map is looking rather promising.

LegolasArcher	Thanks! Sorry about lack of updates, but school just started (and it's my first year on this one); so things have been pretty crazy. This week I'm probally going to do the stats + descs of undead units, and make the NE ones.

09-13-2004, 01:21 PM	#13
Vandell	Wait, only 9 custom heros? So Night Elves are getting the boot? O_o;

09-15-2004, 08:06 PM	#14
LegolasArcher	Hmm, I don't know why it says 9 heros, it should be 12. I dunno how that slipped by.

Wazza	this looks very good indeed... I got a suggestion to the race selctions colors matching, like alliance have dark to lightblue, horde have red to orange, undead have Dark purple to light purple and Night elf have dark green to light green...
