undefinedI've decided to abandon my other project to start up this new one. It will be a team game based in a mine. Your job is to choose a one of many characters that are all crucial to the game, your choices are:

Miner- This tough guy is one of the key players in the game, he digs through all that rock and dirt so the the prospectors can get to the veins of minerals, they can plow through most types of rock, but there are some rocks that can only be blown up ^_^

Prospector- Another key player, the prospector mines all the different minerals throughout the caverns. As his levels increases, he is able to mine better minerals, and he becomes more effecient. Unlike the miners, he can pick up minerals and rocks.

Smith- Although the Smith can't go into the mines, he is a very useful player. The Smith takes all raw minerals and ores to smelt them at the Furnaces. Once metal is prepared to be forged, he can bring it to his anvil to make weapons, armour and tools for the other players.

Herbalist- As with the Smith, the Herbalist can't leave the main area, but they can win the game for you if used properly. The herbalist takes all the strange fungus and plants that grow underground, with them they can craft potent magical potions AND enchantements. Enchanted weapons and armour become extremely valuable and powerful artifacts, although most enchantements are minor, some special fungus can bestow weapons with poerful abilities or useful effects.

After choosing a character, you will be dispatched to your appropriate area, each characters area has all the things they need for their job. The Herbalist and Smith receive some starting items to practice with, while the other two bgin with their pickaxes, the prospector also receives an ore sack to carry excess minerals.

The goal of the game is to gather a set amount of gold for each of your mining corporations. Once the prospector collects minerals, he can either invest them to the team goal or he can sell it to distribute it among his teamates. (this prevents one player from taking all the $$) He can also choose to give it to teh Smith for smelting and smithing. Once the Smith forges a piece of equipement, he can sell it for more gold, or hand it over to the Herbalist for enchanting. The Smith may also give equipement to the Miners and Prospectors so the can defend themselves better, as there is quite a few beasts lurking in the caves. The most key element in the game is to know when to choose to sell something, as minerals can be sold for quick cash, but other items will wield a higher profit, but take longer to aquire.

I'l be updating this tommorow, so give me a little while, post some feedback and I'l get back to ya'll
