Hero City Preview (Interview with An Orc Warlock)

I'm showing screenshots of my map To show you a bit of the features in Hero City, now I know there are some problems with the terrain and I AM fixing them, these are screenshots that were taken weeks ago I'm in the process of getting new ones to show you, also If you think that I have made heroes start with massive damage, High life, your wrong, the character being used is a character used ONLY for testing so I don't have to deal with most of the tiny nuisances of monsters, but feel free to coment on whatever you like or ask questions about character classes submint ideas ect

PLEASE comment, I'd Really Apreciate it

So Far the Character Classes Are:

Arcane Warrior

Undead Mage


Undead Ranger

Druid

Orc Warlock (origional not test version)


Lueitenant (P1 only)

Captain (P2 only)

Dark Wizard

Assassin


Skeleton Captain (Archery or Melee your choice)


Alchemist



Naga Priest

Beastmaster

Tauren Warrior

***** 4 Character Slots are to be decided *****

EDIT: I have got New Screenshots Of The Terrain, heroes ect

EDIT 2: I have also been adding in beta tests on battle net and the beta is avalible to you if you contact me there on Lorderan (us west) it's actually 6 player now but i haven't been too picky on changing the name and by the way this is not a map that is well played by yourself I have put in a few mini games now Some classes are not yet selectable like the alchemist and tauren warrior there are also a few classes that are not mentioned up there but are in use

divide things by 10, so at 10,000 hp, it doesnt flash randomly(the hp bar that is)

what?

He means that you shouldn't have such high numbers for everything. Instead of giving heroes 10000-ish HP, and enemies having 100 damage, give them 5000 HP, and enemies 50 damage. Maps with heroes that have so much HP you can't actually read it any more because it won't fit in the box look unprofessional.
In screenshot one, you have flowers growing out of tiles.
In screenshots two and three, the terrain is awful. Use more than one texture, and use the raise/lower ground tools to give a bit of height variation.

They have the point. It is much more enjoyable to play campaigns/maps that look professional. Although they might have some interesting and working ideas it adds much to the gameplay if everything seems to be in order instead of texts that won't fit in the spaces left for them etc...

well I understand what you mean but the hero had like 300+ strength, I bought the tomes for him, he only starts out with 2 strength and only 125 HP

Post 2:


Hieght Variation was unavailible at that time, I was going through some trouble with the secondary (rpg) camera and it wouldn't pan when the height changes, I've fixed that now, but I don't have any recent screenies, I'm going to get some as soon as I fix the current problems, I apreciate your critisism though

Post 3:

here's a revised version of the badlands

Edited by Blade.dk. Reason: Triple post.

that terrain looks much better, trust me 3rd person and wc3 do not mix. Stick with birds eye view. I was wondering if you were okay after the first terrain screenies ;)

well I had some errors in the map, and I was looking at those instead of the terrain then I got caught up with that and forgot about the terrain (which wasn't my best at the time lol) so it sucked when I posted and I gave the user a choice between the two cameras by typing !cam1 (Birds Eye View) or !cam2 (rpg)

ya the terrain is getting along pretty good, very pro like; but Im not really that great with the editor yet so i shouldnt be sayin' this. I like the classes though, they each have their own edge, makes the game more interesting.

This Is My bud Tyler He's kinda helpin me out with the beta testing of the map

ya i help out with the testing, unfortunately im not a big help with the map triggering and stuff yet. You gotta start somewhere right? So i just criticize um tell he grabs the bat with the brick tied to it, then i stop. i gotta protect monitors from total brickfullness right?
so anyhow...

Now What I'm Working on is an inventory system for the user I'm thinking about a dialog storage menu but..... I'm not sure, I'm also working on the new base system, and maybe I'm going to use bags instead of a Dialog menu? sugessitons? also if you'll look at the first post I just put in some screenies of the alchemist

If you stole the model, in my opinion I wouldnt use it at all, but if it was publicly released for use then that shouldn't be a problem.

And with the double posting... You never have to double post. There is an edit button for a reason. And trust me, the big guys upstairs don't like double posting.

Double (and triple) posting is bad, but double posting when you know about it and write that you don't care is worse. I've warned you. Don't do it again.

sorry, it won't happen again


good point

I'm Trying To Make new mini games for my map so players do not get "bored" after the first 30 minutes of playing, The Newest ones i've made are Lumberjack, Coin Festival, and Elemental Extinguisher
