I think it'd be worth for you to try an RPG.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think a single player RPG will be much easier to handle than a campaign, only have to do all the terraining and object editing once, and no game cache and the likes.
Also, since you're only making it for one player you can stretch its limits a lot and use a lot of special and interesting triggers, quests and stuff that won't work, or would be extremly hard to opperate, in a multi-player online RPG.
Give your character much depth and personality, which (since the gamers are now play alone and are thus not in any competition to reach a certain level first) they will have more time to explore. It could be really fun for you and the players if there is some ellaborate storyline to your game, which is something I haven't seen in a long time.
Either way though I hope your map turns out great, as I'm sure it will :thup: .
RPG = Few guidelines, there are simply objectives, and many different ways to do it.
Campaign = Storyline, gives players something to follow, but requires a good storyline.
Campaigns are fun when they're done well, and include manycinematics that are not boring. Make sure you have a good storyline for one of these.
RPGs are boring to me. Very few are done well enough to keep my attention. In WC3, making an interesting RPG is hard, because it means you have to have new systems, and bypass many of the limits (say 6 items max for heroes). However, many map makers that do this do not include information for people new to the game, and usually I get bored of not having a clue of what I'm doing.
Levelling is BORING in WC3 unless you have awesome looking abilities.
I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory
I will be AFK for a couple of days you guys hold down the fort while I am gone. I will be checking in on my phone but that will severly limit me. Be back saturday!
