NOTE: This is a singleplayer RPG, so i dosn't need to be "tha' best eva'" style map!

Hey dudes!! Straight to the point:

Story of the start (??): Some days ago when i made to VERY small projects that (belive it or not) actually were finished. This encouraged me to start mapping!

So heres the 'so-far': I made a hero choose system (thanks to the guys at www.warcraftiii.net) and i made a creep respawn trigger (thanks to my friend, Crazynutter), i also made a talk system, so that when you click a unit he says that and that. I also started a simple delivery quest for beginners (however i forgot some conditions so you finished it by talking to the quest-giver first time :P).


What i need is simple, as i decided that there were no need for custom skins and models (maybe skins, but then i'll just download them)

so i need:

A custom spell maker guy or two
And a terrainer (maybe two also, one will make it though)
And last but not least: Help triggerer

Right now i can't think of more!

By the way i will make: Cinematics (maybe with a guy helping me(i have not decided if i should include cinematics yet)) and triggering (i have allready done the respawn and hero choose) and i will do quests (although thats mostly triggering). When the project comes forth i will surely get more to make.

Hope you guys will join.


NOTE: I deleted this from the actual post, as i couldn't find a way to attach the 0.1 version (guess attach system is down?):

I will attach a map the the progress so far. Notice that it IS possible to choose dwarf allready but he can do nothing other than move around in dwarftown. Also the questgiver is not the only one to talk to in start village, but the only one made so far.


EDIT: Please don't own me with saying i should read the FAQ and Do's and Dont's if they count for MAP team gathering anyway.

EDIT2: I forgot to mention i also made a hero revival system, although i'm not sure if i have made it for the dwarf hero, i will check and make now, i will also add a revival penalty now.

EDIT3: Oh my god, how many times am i gonna edit? Well, just figured out that it will be quite hard to... well hard to explain, so heroes will get the same start-spawn place, but there will still be a dwarven stronghold

EDIT4: Again again.. anyway i got the thingy working so human and dwarf hero will have different start location

It does. As a matter of fact, you posted it in the wrong forum :P The MAP Team Gathering is for B.net maps, mostly. Regardless, I can't move threads (yet).

So... what is this RPG about?

Where should i post it then?


It's mostly just about a Single Player RPG named Shifting Destinies, which the creator (me) hope to make fun

Actually when i started it my head suddenly began thinking of a history


And i will now share the story (pwn me :P):

--"Back, thousands of years ago (5381 to be precise) the world of Teronimum
were in danger of being destroyed, becaus of many rebel groups, where many united into whole armies. No one ever foun out why these cults and groups were formed, noone knew a motive. However, later on most of them united into four big armies, which battled eachother and the people in Teronimum. Both the dwarves an humans (who was the races that inhabited Teronimum) sent messengers to the elven lands of Tavoya. However, anyway how many messengers were send, the elves rejected and did not send anything other than rejecting messages to Teronimum. This made a hate between the human/dwarf civilizations and the elven one. But now it was all up to the people of Teronimum to fight the uprising. However, the uprising seemed to have much more power than it actually had.


In a matter of years three of the four rebel armies were beaten back, allthouh the strongest remained. After 14 years of war, both armies were exhausted. The united army (the ood ones) as most of the cities redrew their forces as soon as their land were out of danger. And the rebel because (allthough they had advantage in numbers) they did not have the power.

One day, the rebels was about to make a final desperate attemp to reinforce their army enough to begin from new, and build a new army.

The best place they could attack were the small empire, A'Kiva. Although it was based in a desert, it was quite one of the best places to deliver militia soldiers to the army.

The rebel army attacked from south, and got into the desert that way. The A'Kivan army (and elements of the United Army) rushed to push them out. The battle lasted two weeks, with greater losses, when the A'Kivan lords finally had an idea. As the A'Kivan army was slowly pushing the rebel army out of the desert, they planned that, as soon as they were wuite nea the border of the desert, they would build a magically enchanted wall, although it was hard work, it was the only possibility because the A'Kivan army couldn't afford too many losses. If they should be able to push them out, their army would be totally crushed anyway so the rebels could return anyday.

So while in chaos of the fight, brave workers moved in and began to build a strong wall. In a matter of days, the first part of the wall were finished, although this part were not magically enchanted.

While the rebels broke the first wall, the A'Kivan army had time to reteat were a shocking sight met them. The lords of A'Kiva had -while the soldiers were away- built a big magically enchanted wall and gate.

As soon as all the soldiers had gotten inside, the rebel army attacked the gate. However, to the luck of A'Kiva the United Army had sent reinforcements. With archers entrenched at magical walls, and a great army at their backs, the rebel army were crushed.

Now, over five thousand years later, there are still being fought against rebellic groups, although these are not bigger than gangs, i feel somehow... that the fight against this unknown faction, which looks forward to the day of destruction of all life, has not finished...."-

I got a feeling someone is making a joke :P (I listen 24/7 to the radio channel, 538)

I didn't read the story yet because I can't really concentrate at the moment.
