Eragon: Alageasia

hey all i was wondering if any of you have read the ook eragon. its kinda like lord of the rings except not as much background info (on everything) and better action. so i read it and its really and i am starting productions on an Eragon map. It uses custom models and icons off of war3sear.ch and my ideas.

basically its like ring wars except in Alageasia (the eragon world). Im still in the first process of creating the map, but i wondering if anybody wanted to help me out with it. after all i need hosts and ppl to help me with concepts and all.

so if your interested just tell me what you think you can do to help.

I've read that book, its really good. Iw3'l help you with terrain if u want, or some other ideas. I think it should be more in depth then ring wars though. Infact, it would make an excellent RPG. If u need some ideas then il help

Ah yes, Eragon. That's a very excellent book btw. I worked on a map like this on Starcraft. It was ok, but not my best work. I would have offered my services, if not for all the other projects I'm dedicated too. Sorry! Good luck!

well guys im glad to know that some1 likes this stuff.

metalsonic, thanks for helping out. and yes, i have thought about an RPG but im not all that great at mapping. mostly i just come up with the concepts and put the map together. i rely on others to help me out by providing info and stuff.

so i guess we'll start with your past stuff. what kinds of experience do you have in mapmaking? what kinds of ideas and all? if you need more info on the map just ask :)

I can terrain, and minor triggering. I'l terrain now anyway
Keep in mind I borrowed the book from my friend a few months ago, so excuse my spelling of names 'n stuff ^_^
Eragon and company begin their long journey to the Beor mountains to join the rebels against their fight against Galbatorix.

Main teams will be: Galbatorix's Forces (evil)
Eragon and Company
The Elves (good)
The Rebels (good)

Eragon's goal is to get to the Beor Mountains laive along with any other allies.
Galbatorix must capture Eragon using his near limitless power over the land.
The Rebels must ensure Eragon and Saphira arrive safely to the Mountains, while holding back Galbatorix.
The Elves aid by sending troops to the Rebels and when Eragon arrives at the Mountains, he will be passed on to the Elves after some brief training.

Neutral cities will be player controled and can join either the Rebels or Galbatorix, and they will recceive troops depending on who they choose (if they do) Each town or City will have a General that commands their troops, if the General dies the city or town will fall to the hands of the slayer. Only evil can do this to neutrals, but enemy cities can be captured by good the same way.

Along the way Eragon will learn new types of spells, but if he exhausts his supply of magic (mana) he will die. He doesnt work like a normal hero, you dont choose his spells, they will be learned as he levels up. Depending on what type of training he endures, he will learn those types of spells. Saphira can also aid him in channeling especially powerful spells if need be.

The base of the rebels is hidden deep in the Beor Mountains and from there they send troops to outlying cities to aid in their defense, or to convince them to join their side.

I'l try to think of sum more RPG elements to make it more fun, but nothing too advanced Il start the terrain as soon as i find a good map.

holy crap thats a great idea. i tell you what: you go ahead and work on that because ive already finished the terrain on mine. you can make that map and good luck because im not getting involved in anything that deep.

all i ask of you is to host my map when im done.

if you need any help with your map just ask :)

Sure? Well, I'l host your map for sure host your map
I guess I'l go ahead and make my map, it should be fun.
