The Battle for Cressus​

The city of Cressus has been invaded by evil creatures from the mountains. As the survivors prepare to fight for their each house, the army of Seleucia approaches with the intentions to conquer the city for themselves. The three forces have prepared for to face anyone who contests their claim over Cressus. Control over crucial points of the city is the ultimate goal. Who will emerge triumphant?

This is what I'm currently using my WorldEditor for.


OVERVIEW:

It's a RingWars-style map with 3 teams. The teams fight each other for control over 9 out of the 11 total circles of power placed around the city. Alternatively, they can just destroy the enemy teams' encampments.

GAMEPLAY:

The gameplay will be reminiscent of BFME, however with less hero skirmishes and less besieging enemy castles. Vaguely like the Battlefield series on PC in terms of capturing the circles of power. Battles will be realistic - units will periodically need to return to bases for recharge, and there will be a rock-scissors-paper element in the battle system, too.

There will be a "many cheap units"-oriented team, a "few strong units"-team and a "balance/spellcasting"-team, kinda like StarCraft, however I will be careful to keep the main point of the game in tactics. Possibly, there will be some random events in the game that will spice it up (spawn of dragons, demon portals suddenly opening, etc. :) )


PROGRESS:
Objects: ++++++++XX
Triggers: XXXXXXXXXX
Terrain: +++++++++X

For now, the map is in its earliest Alpha version, so I have not decided on any of the specifics. Only the terrain has been worked on (since yesterday), but at the end, it will be better.

Seems like you spent quite some time on the city. Doesn't look too super wowish but it's well designed. Use other doodads, vary the things around. I like the river, and the arches and bridges over it, :)
Have you planned the races yet?
>The teams fight each other for control over 9 out of the 11 total circles of power placed around the city.
What about the other 2, lulz?
Good luck! :thup:

Thank you :) I will keep adding touches as the development progresses.

Team 1, "Defenders of Cressus" : Human
Team 2, "Seleucian Army": Human, Orc and a bit of Night Elf
Team 3, "Mountain Invaders" : Undead, Orc and some Night Elf or Creeps

Nine of the circles of power are neutral as the game starts, but two of them will be initially under players' control, inside the team's base. Thus, destroying the team's base will also lead to capturing another circle :)

Bump

...due to the Objects being pretty much done.

Do I see volunteers for JASS and for testing? :)

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
