Pirates - Cool Ship map

Edit: Look at the last post for a lot of updates...


Hi

Me and a friend are making this map called "Pirates" (im doing all the hard trigger work and he are doing the terrain stuff)

It got some cool features already, but I wanna hear what YOU would like to see in a map. The map is only in Alpha state so I can't really show any screenshots and there isn't that many features.

It is using a system so do need some skills to kill your enemies, not just "Buy best weapon, win"

Already Features:

Move system using Arrow Keys (Almost done)

Shots Cannon to left and right using "Q" and "E" (Done)

Engage ability so you can fight against an enemy ship's crew and if you win you take over there ship (Working on it)

Many Upgrades and Ship Crew (Almost done)

When your Captain gains levels, he will could control ships better after what skills he got. (Done)

Custom Trigger Abilities (Almost done)

Bases in the middle of the map you can take over and gain benefits from (Almost Done)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plz Give me Feedback

I can soon post Screenshots if someone wants it

sounds kool

Sounds awesome. please try to include random factors... Like NPC enemy ships attacking, a storm appearing which causes navigation to reverse (left is up, up is right, right is bottom, bottom is left..), the crew getting drunk, etc.

Oh, and wind direction! Yes! They're all sailing ships... give them a speed bonus if they got the wind in their back. ^_^

make it so you can hire different types of navigators which has their own cost, and their own rating of succeeding in navigating. And the same with the captain, upgrading his skill level to make him able to predict weather +a lower fail chance

And what would a pirate map be without treasures on islands? With skull caves? :O

I don't know about 'engage' but there should be some sort of 'board' option where your crew can board theirs and take gold/ship.

Thanks, I thought that none had replied

The Engage ability is where you fight with your crew (and captain) against the enemy crew and Captain. If you win, you will get enemy ship...

But im having trouble with it.

Insted I made all the ships, the cannons to them also.



I was planning on making that, and I will soon start on it.

Unfortunly the maximum crew on a ship is 10 (minus the Captain) so the huge crew fights won't be possible but it will still be great.

I got holiday now (a whole week ) so I will proberly make a lot on the map...

heh hej bjarke...

godt at du endelig gider være lidt aktiv herinde
men gider du sende mappet til mig så jeg kan lave det "simple " terrain og gider du lade vær med at få dem til at tro at jeg er 2talt idiot

på forhånd tak... den unævnelige

This sounds awesome!! But if you ever need any trigger/jass/cinematics help call me!

Oh and you wouldnt mind me doing the starting cinematic for you?? just tell me what you want and ill try to get on it in my busy schedule.

I still say include wind direction. ;)

caged sharks to let loose to batter up the enemy ship from underneath?

how about engage turn into a little mini-game arena, both player's ships turn invulnerable and camera snaps to a little arena place where both crews duel it out, and give them abilities so skill can be involved and items that can improve crew perfomance/quantity.

that sounds kool but have it like make a copy of a boat deck and have the crew spawn on it and they fight and they winner gets BOOTY (items and gold)

I like that idea

Im sorry I didn't reply earlier but I use my time on the map, the "Engage"/"Board" abilty isn't done yet but a lot of the other stuff is.



I already made the two ships arena but I think the other arena works better but i'll try



I've been working on that from the start exactly how you are writing so "Hey you stole my idea!".




I will proberly make Sharks and Wind Direction but I will first try to make the basic stuff in the map

Btw. I left my partner because he didn't do anything. And I decided to make 4 Teams insted of 2 and with no Computer control but with quests and creeps. Plz tell what you think of it.

Edit: Rtm_Is_back you can maybe make the cinematics but when I make them people always just want to skip them but I don't know if that is the same for everybody. I would like to see some of your cinematics.

Well I took some screenshots but my internet is so slow and unstable at the moment (Wireless sucks)

Edit2: I proberly won't do the Arrow Movement because either it will lag to much if it need to be easy turn or You can only very much at a time so I will be hard to control.
