Campaign Project (melee-ish games)

[Jindo]

Its not exactly a campaign, but whatever im making it is going to be made into a campaign. It is to do with warcraft melee games. I am making something where you have 50 maps, each one you are stuck in a dialema, you must beat the computer in each level.

I need ideas for what those dialemas could be.

These are a few ideas:

~You are stuck in a normal game only, you have no more umber and all your trees are gone, the only source of lumber is your enemy. He has tonnes of trees.

~(this one should be near the end)It is 3v3 and 2 of your allies left and it is 3v1, win with the help of your allies bases.

I am thinking of having dummy units just to use them as requirements. Example:

you cannot get workers because it says 'Requires: level 5'.

Any more ideas please let me know (it doesnt have to be melee, it can have special effects during game, maybe infernos attacking, that is all fine).

Good luck to all with your own projects !

Hi, here's one...
You are stuck on an island an your opponent is on another. The only way to get to the other island is to but a Zepplin. The problem is, since there is only one Zepplin, it is very expensive.
You must get enough resources to get it (note that the resoureces will be very rare on your island) and then transport your units over to the enemy with only that one Zepplin.
Hmm, i'll post more as soon as I get ideas.

Nice idea

Ill use that

EDIT: a reminder that i am having custom heroes and things like that to make it more interesting. Ideas for custom units would also be appreciated

Here's an idea for a hero/unit. I'm not sure it's possible but i'll say it anyway:

A Spy Hero. He/She will look like the other players colour but is actually your unit.

Just notcied after saying that, that if your playing against a computer player that may not work.
Anyway, you could try base something off or around that.

this is for al

I think that this trigger will work for it, anyone else feel free to use it:

Events: a unit comes within 350.00 of Spy Hero

Conditions: none

Actions: change color of Spy Hero to (Color of(Owner of(Triggering Unit)))

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Using the (almost) same trigger.

P.S: How do you add a Signature. Can't find that option in User Preferences.

 

[Jindo]

Yeah.

More ideas so don't post these:

-You're playing the game but changed time and did something which you weren't going to do, a huge monster invades! (its as realistic as it is )

-You have no units. no gold no nothing except a castle and a hero. All the gold mines are entangled and you are using the human race. Get a mine and gold without dying.

Any units and stuff please let me know. (i just made a loading screen for it, i hope you like pacman)

~Jindo

PS: i just add it on at the end of each post, there used to be an option but it said that they were disabled by the admin. (hope my signiture doesnt violate a rule of some kind )

Even if it changes the color, if its a computer it will still know that its an enemy and attack. Maby you could make it so that Different people are at different delemas, One team is the human, The other undead, Humans could have a different delema then the undead. You work as a team to over come the delema, So its like long minigames but more relistic.

Just make up a storyline to go along with the maps. After all, have you played the Campaign game for ROC and TFT? They're all more or less melee games, especially ROC...

So, fix up a story line, and then follow it.

 

[Jindo]

Okay i am thinking very hard:

The world of warcraft has gone crazy and strange things are starting to happen, such as:

-The demons are coming alive but falling a sleep.
-Naga warriors are floating in the sky.
-Monsters are roaming lands but they dont even live on this world.

Play from 8 races (Nightelf, Orc, Undead, Human, Demon, Naga, Dranie, Alien) and win your way through 50 and over problems.

---

Introduction (as a cinematic):

Orc Farseer: hmm.. *cough cough*
Grunt: What is it grim face?
Orc Farseer: something strange is happening bloodvessel, look up in that sky.
Grunt Hmm... Fish, are you suggesting that all this time we have been underwater?
Orc Farseer: *sigh*... bloodvessel, if you think we're underwater, then what are those over there? *uses far sight and reveals a crowd of fiery minions.*
Grunt: So... we're underwater which is acid?
Orc Farseer: I AM SAYING THAT THIS WORLD HAS GONE STRANGELY WRONG!
pause
Orc Farseer: *sigh* it looks like another war has struck again... Bloodvessel! Assemble the troops! We must fight on!

And then there's the start, in ashenvale, 4 mines, 1 haunted and 1 used by you. You are the orc race, you have a farseer who is permanently invisible, has normal abilities only with more levels and has that color changer ability.

is that what you wanted me to do?

Anyways, keep the ideas coming, many thanks!

Hey, sounds interesting...

Here's one...
The time of day is stuck at Midnight and the enemys units are semi-invisible and have a big line of sight where as you have a very small line of sight.
Could work.

Now that is clever lol, you are walking a very small distance when suddenly, a huge bear comes after you.

Ok, change of plans, i am having quite a few maps with this battling idea, but i think im going to fit some kind of adventure into it as well.

Also don't you think 50 maps is a bit much. I mean if your making each map I think that would take awhile.
Also if your looking for a bit of help I would like too. Even if its just the Terrain for one or two maps.
-Husky

 

[Jindo]

well, not when alot of them are quite small, well, only the battle maps are quite small but if you want me to make it purely story then fine or if you want me to add more non-battle maps i will

Okay, i think now i am going to rarely have battles and cut it down to atleast 10 maps maybe 15.

Good luck to everyone else who is working on a project.
