Hello everyone. Long time lurker here, although this is my first post. I've been thinking of this idea for a long time, and seeing as how there hasn't been any solid Naruto or Bleach maps released, I figured I'd give it a go. I've had 0 experience with the Warcraft III map editor until I started on this project approximately a week ago (The Bleach unit skills have all but been finished - I still need to work on the Naruto ones), and I've learned a ton reading the guides located on wc3campaigns - thanks to those that took time to write those FAQs =) I'm just basically looking for some feedback of some sort before I get anymore involved with this map. Anyways, my current ideas for the map is as follows: - Max level will be lvl 20. - Playable characters: Naruto Characters: Uzumaki Naruto Uchiha Sasuke Orochimaru Hyuuga Neiji Rock Lee Hatake Kakashi Sakura Jiraiya Bleach Characters: Abari Renji Kuchiki Byakuya Hitsugaya Toushirou Zaraki Kenpachi Ichigo Hinamori Ichimaru Gin Urahara Kisuke I may add more playable characters; we'll see later. - Basic playing style idea: Bleach Characters The Bleach Shinigami characters will have access to Soul Slayers right at level 1 (They take up an item slot, and cannot be dropped; each Soul Slayer is unique depending on which character you have chosen. For example, Renji will have access to the Zabimaru Soul Slayer, while Kuchiki Byakuya will wield Senbonzakura). The Soul Slayers cannot be changed to their true forms until the appropriate skill has been selected when the character reaches lvl 10. Each Soul Slayer's true form will drain mana as long as it is active; the only person that has an exception to this is Ichigo's Soul Slayer, Zangetsu, which will always stay in true form when he chooses the ability at 10h level. Every character's unique Bankai ability will become available upon reaching the 20th level, unless said character has no Bankai ability, in which case I'll probably sub in a more powerful version of another skill the character has access to. The Bleach characters are strong, however they cannot purchase any weapon / armor type items. Accessory items such as healing potions, scrolls, etc will be allowed. Naruto Characters The Naruto characters will have access to various items, such as Kunai's, Sharingan wires (Useable only by Kakashi and Sasuke), Smoke bombs (Instant teleport back to base), and several items that alter movement speed and attack speed. Naruto characters will ideally have to rely on stealth and surprise to defeat enemies. Also, all Naruto anime based characters will have an innate ability to cloak (Shadowmeld). The game itself...I'm not sure if I should use the AoS/DoTA concept, and throw computer controlled units at each other, while each side's heroes try to destroy the other's base. Either that or create an open rpg similar to maps like Starcraft's LoTR Last Alliance, where each faction has their own city / town / settlements, and you can control your faction's army + chosen character to battle enemies with. Edit：I just wanted to add that I'm basically using the default Warcraft III unit models etc as I have no idea how to model / skin stuff, so no fancy screens yet. If all goes well and this map actually gets anywhere near done, I'll ask for some help on models and stuff =o |
