Apocolypse RP

Summary:
You may have played CotM, Dobrp, or one of the other maps out there before. There aren't many, and even though they've been hosted more often recently, there still not as popular as some of the maps out there. Me and a friend are making one of those, since there aren't many out there, and we think we can do better. The general idea of roleplaying maps is to provide essentially a template for players to set up bases and play out a story.

Features:
This map should have most of the features of the current rp maps, including
  • OOC chat
  • IC chat
  • Text/manual spawns
  • Unit killing/removing/exploding
  • Unit facing
  • Alliances
  • Unit sizing/tinting
  • Etc.

I also plan to have some new features including
  • Command to put units to sleep.
  • Multiboard with Admin-regulated player gold (Dob had something similar, but it wasn't admin-regulated.
  • Effects builder, with useful effects
  • A spell caster to cast certain buff spells
  • New set of sfx's, with much less useless ones.
  • New units
  • Most likely, a command to display a units custom spawn.

Spell and unit wise, it should have a jump spell, and global teleport spell. It should have a pirate hero (possible burry/recover spell) a ninja (stealth-based spell) a theif/rouge/assassin (steal, stealth-based spells) and a crusader (holy/offensive spells), along with several other units/heros.

Progress:
Right now, I'm writing the triggers, while the terrain is being developed, by my co-mapper. Its about 10% done, I know what most of the triggers are going to look like.

Team:
-Myself (Triggers, units.)
-The_Adamant (Terrain)
-Venom_Darkhand (Misc. help, a minor part of the terrain(interiors))

Misc.: Any unit/terrain/whatever suggestions, and critisism welcome. I should have a list of terrain features up tommorow. I've got a sample cell up as well.

Creative Unit Ideas, i.e. attach spears/grain carts to villagers.

Kewl base places, i.e. terrain area that would make for a cool and ascetic base.

Templates for bases and units/ideas, playing a role-playing map can be confusing and daunting for an amateur rp'er.

And the terrain better be sexy because is half the fun in RP maps! Good luck~

Still too simple. Give us some more details, more information, screenshots, images, teasers.
