The Evil... Is coming...

[dArKzEr0]

--Ever play DD?
No

--HOWEVER! One player is really Evil
Is it a random player? Or is it determined in the game lobby?

--EXAMPLE: You wouldn't put a Fire spell on a Water themed hero
Duh

--Hope you understand now
I guess. I'll look through the list of heros and feed you ideas.

dArKz

Edit: Do all heros have 6 abilities like the Viking? If so, whats the build for the heros? (I.e. You can pick 4 spells starting at level 1, another is available at level 6, and the ultimate at level 10).

It's random, to make sure people don't always play the Evil player slot.

 

[dArKzEr0]

I guess this goes against the entire point of your map but...

That kind of sucks. If you get a n00b evil, the game would be crap, no? Also, what if that player leaves?

[DM Cross]

*Shrug* We're working on a way to prevent the first problem (of nooby evil's)

The second happens in DD all the time... Ya just hope he doesn't

Yes, those are the many downfalls, but hopefully people will only play with non-leaving players.

 

[Sargon]

Well, Dark Deeds has survived for a while with the same format.

Also, you don't know who the evil player is. That's that makes it interesting.

 

[DM Cross]

Also, you don't know who the evil player is. That's that makes it interesting.

That's a good point, I don't know if you knew that, guessed that, or I explained it at all, but the Evil player secretly controls another players units, the "Evil team". He can create a small normal Adventurer army, AND an Evil army, depending on which of the 6 evil manifestations.

The manifestations, by the way, are:
Dracula
Dr. Frankenstein
The Wolfman
Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde
Jack the Ripper
and last, but not least, the Headless Horseman.

 

[Sargon]

Another interesting part of the game is that you don't train units or buy them. You make them. As in, your entire worker force and army is composed of your offspring.

Defender
--Holy Light
Can target self.
Lvl 1 - Heals X and deals 1/3 damage to Evil when in transformed state
Lvl 2 - "
Lvl 3 - "
--Defend
Turned on and off by toggle, like the footman defend
Lvl 1 - prevents X% range damage and X% melee damage but slows by X
Lvl 2 - ""
Lvl 3 - ""
--Devotion Aura (or thorns?)
--Magic Shield
Based on amulet of spell shield? or maybe just have a duration? Can be targetted?
--Grace of God (Ultimate)
Heals all nearby friendly units for XXX and adds XX bonus armor for XX duration.

Is this what you want? This wasn't very well thought out, considering I did it in about two minutes.

I'll add all suggestions to this post by edit, so that it's organized for you.

If you really want to submit that, we'll discuss it, but there's no deadline. We're only on terrain, and no where near done with it, so you have time to get creative.

By the way, the abilities for all 5 Tier 2 Adventurers is done. Check 'em out!

 

[dArKzEr0]

Wow, I don't get the construct of your map. t2 Adventurers?

Also, is the way I listed the abilities ok with you?

dArKz

 

[DM Cross]

Maybe this will help you understand the "construct" of the map. In short: Units upgrade into stronger units.

Yeah, the way you listed them is fine. Just make sure you have the right amount of abilities, the write type, etc. etc. In the link above, you'll understand what I'm talking about with abilities.

Please tell me if you decide to take up one of the heroes, so I can mark it as taken

Ok, ok, got it. I'll try a full set if you want, like the militia category. I won't actually set what the hero abilities should be, I'll just give ideas that you can easily modify. Also, how many abilities per hero, and what levels are they allowed to learn the abilities?

dArKz

 

[DM Cross]

Read the first post in this thread to learn which Tiers have what kind of abilities, and the levels they need to go up to.

Do you know which hero you want to take? Only one at a time, so if you finish and want another, you're welcome to it.

 

[dArKzEr0]

I guess I'll work on the Excorcist for now, but that's tommorrow, it's bedtime for me.

[DM Cross]

Sweet, I'll update the list on OM.com that you're taking the hero Thanks!

And good night

Exorcist

Level 3 – 240 heal, 8 jumps, 155 mana

Release Demons (based off of aerial shackles or life drain)

Unholy Sear (based off of black arrows or incinerate)
