LOE RPG:Land of Evil

[subzero]

I'm not going to help this time ( ) but I still got ideas:
Gone to Ruins
While traveling through a forest, the Hero encounters an old temple. At first nothing happens, but while arriving at the nearby city, the Hero meets a priest which tells him more about that temple. It was once an old sacrafic place for the Gds of Evil, but was abandoned by all its priest more than 100 years ago. Because of the tough situation of the land, and the raging war, the priest feels that if he could rebuild the temple, turning it into a place of holy praying, then he can help reuinte the people to some extant, and teach them the right ways of living again; in peace and harmony. He asks for your help in remaking the temple.
At first he tells you to go find an architect in the city (name is preferable) that will help rebuild the old stones and columns. Later though, when he hears that the architect went to the temple, but escaped quickly, he sends you back there again to look around, and see what scared the architect.
Unlike your first visit, the Hero now sees a trap door in one of the corners of the main rooms of the temple. Taking it down, it leads him into an underground graveyard, where all of the souls of those once sacraficed in the temple roum unpeacfully. These creeps spawn in the huge room, which in the center contains a huge shining orb, the one that keeps them in this world. The Hero must destroy it in order to set them free. The ghosts cannot attack the orb themselves, since it is magical, but they can attack you ! Even if they die, they will return in a few seconds again to try and kill any intruders. So the Hero must reach the center of the graveyard and destroy the orb before the ghosts kill him/her.
So after that everything is OK. The architect rebuilds the temple, and the priest is happy.

That's it for now.
Also, subzero, do you want to make it so players can build their own homes and stuff? Cause I think that's what you said, and if you want I can give you tons of ideas to expand on that issue.

yeah i did metion dat, let ur ideas flow! :nuts:

 

[stavious]

Well if you want housng, than this is my idea:
Make custom unit models of buildings (but not ony the ones in cityscape, also in the Lorderon Summer doodads). Make a 'starting' building that the players can by a unit called 'builders' from (you don't have to make it look like a building, it can also be a box... ). The builder has the wisp like build abilty, so each one can build one building, and cannot gather resources, or repair (well you can give it repair if you really want to).
Then after you have one house (like the doodad called Building in the Lorderon Summer tile set), then it can be upgraded (but is rather expensive) to a better looking house. Then you can make cool tech trees that include the builders also making granaries, which are a base to resource gathering, windmills, where upgrades can be researched, and much more.
I can exand more if you want, but that's it for now.

 

[subzero]

Yeah Ill try that out or you can try it out too if u want

What sounds cool
picking your hero by taverns,arena, or dialog?
I would go with taverns,

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

On RPGs, it's best 2 go by arena style, though the dialog looks 2 me better.Stavious made a wonderful and extraodinary idea so I'll try 2 expand it below
I am suggesting that you could always use a unit or two(which u buy from somewhere)permanentally invisible that can carry items.Also one can hire housekeepers and improve them by some of the house researches.Furthermore, you could buy a system 2 move your house (!) (done by adding ms 2 the house) and take them 2 ur adventures... .
Hmmm, and u can add researches 2 your hero overall growth: spells, stats, even appearance (if u've played the map binders, u can imagine...)

 

[subzero]

basicaly the rpg basics like in finalfantasy epic and cot rpg. I geuss I could do arena to be easier cuz of the tavern triggers and variables.

 

[stavious]

Do you have any more information about the lore yet? Have you given it some thought? Because I can give you ideas about events that lead to your map, but it is always better if it is your idea originally, so I just want to know where you are at with the histroy at that point, and if you need help with it.

While I'm at it I'll a give you another quest idea as well:
Dragon's Treasure
While traveling on the road the Hero finds out about a dragon that lives in the mountains. The dragon is said to have vast amounts of treasures in his cave. After climbing the mountain, the Hero finds the cave, and can enter it. Now though the dragon will let no one take its treasure from it, so the Hero must use some sneaking ability (like Wind Walk) to turn himself invisible, and run into the cave, take the treasure and esape (cause the dragon should be nearly impossible to defeat if challagned). But the dragon can smell intruders, and so not only does the Hero have to be invisible to escape the dragon's eyes, he has to keep a clear distance from him to escape his nose. Though the dragon sleeps at night, this could be ard during the day when the dragon patrols his cave. If the Hero is spotted, then the draon attacks immediatly, which will most likely result in the Hero needing to escape. Most of the treasures in the cave are artifacts that can be sold for a lot of gold (but otherwise have no use) but there are also a few magical items too.

Do you like that quest idea?

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

I personally <3 the idea, (since it had to do with Dragons), and I bring more suggestions 2 Sub-Zero, after I know these:
1.What is the hero's max level?
2.What is the main tileset of the map?
3.What storyline did u decided to publish finally?

 

[subzero]

Max lv:150
Main tileset: Cityscape
Storyline: The one u came up with,( I may add some parts later)

Im trying to get done with the heros. If u hav a hero idea, Just post the name and type of hero like ex "Subzero (Ice user warrior)"
So then I can done with the hero arena/tavern and also make events for the heros later bla bla bla Ill give more feedback when I get don with a few things.

 

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

The hero ideas are on the way (though 150 Lv max abilities would own)
For quests, I prefer to post later on.But here's an RPG original idea which u could use (I've used it on my own map, which owns I think):Try to make Secret portals .What I mean with that, there could be portals well hidden around the map, which teleport u to another place instantly.U unlock them by completing optional quests.(Think of their use: instead of going from one side of a 256x256 map to another, teleport without any item teleportation u can have, which can take a valuable inventory slot)

[subzero]

Ive been rly bored so far this summer So I wanted keep my self busy by making an rpg I call it "Lands of Evil". I have a little story line up. But if you guys wanna suggest to the story, fill me in. Im also looking for people to help me out in like hero,spell, etc builders. Also terrain :banghead: . Any ways here a bit of the story.

Well its mostly short, Heros ruled the lands then evil came and killed them all. The souls were still alive and formed back to heros to destroy all evil. Please, add to it if you want. Im not good at all this stuff so I will need some assistance.

[NiKaNoRoU_GR]

[subzero]

Ill post an update later guys

 

[stavious]

Yeah, how is the project going? I haven't checked it out in a while. Do you still need ideas? Cause I'm full of them .

 

[subzero]

go ahead, I stoped making the map bcuz I was thinking on what I wanted to start out so I basically started yesterday. so go ahead post your ideas.

Heroes

Three factions of powerful armies have arised in the land over the past years. Each has unique and different units and races, but all (seem) equally strong. Each faction will recive two heroes from which you can choose to play, making a sum of 6 heroes, thus the game will be for 1-6 players . The map is the battlefeild of an epic war between the armies. Each base of the different armies is located far away from the others on the map, and in the center is where the battle rages on. You, as the hero will recieve missions that will help your side turn the tide of battle; find a large stone that can be crafted into mighty sheilds for the troops, lead a party of warriors into one of the enemy's camps at night and surpise attack/ rob them and even lead the army against the other armies . This can be complicated to do with 6 players, so it might actually be easier to make as a Single Player RPG, but it depends .
Factions Summary:
Human Faction - Consists of Human warriors (duh... ) who fight to liberate some of the villages and towns that were taken from their kingdom by the other factions. They are basically the ones supporting the battlefeild (it is in their kingdom) and they are defending what is theirs against invaders. Their selectable heroes are (my opnion on the heroes): Mage (Archmage model) and Knight (Lord Guthar - the human leader in TFT) (you might wanna give them fancier names though ).
Elf Faction - The elves are fighting the other factions, how they believe are harming the forests and nature with their technology. When nature is hurt, then so are the Elves, so they are basically fighting for their survival here (story is weak I know, you might wanna edit that ). Selectable Heroes: Druid (Furion on Stag model) and Priestess (Tyrande model).
Orc Faction / Evil Faction - Came to conquer the Human lands. They consist of WC3 Orc units and some Undead units too. They are expanding their empire here thus taking over human lands, while also having a racial hatred towards the Elves, so they fight them too. Selectable Heroes: Shaman (Thrall model) and Necromaner (Death Knight model).
This is my 'little' idea that I had in mind for a while. I can give you many missions that might go along with this story if you want .
* Little Quiz: see who can find the common thing between all of the selectable heroes I put .

 

[subzero]

If you want, u can go and make heros yourself and give them to me too.Then I can give you some credit. I think I might take the story line and keep it simple like the land has evil and we must demolish them and do qeusts.

OK I'll make your heroes . But please don't make a lame plot, that's the best part in an RPG that can go wrong and turn terrible .
