AoS Starcraft AoS

[Twilight33]

Starcraft AoS
Description: Starcraft AoS will be a 3-way AoS using the standard trinity path layout. Each race will have a base at one of the three points of the triangle. I also plan to have a Hero for every unit in starcraft, and try to accurately recreate the abilities from starcraft. (All units will have a Basic attack including units like terran medics, and protoss observers.)

Currently in Development: Hero Abilites
This is the real reason i am posting right now, besides to show the community the idea. I would like the communities help in brain storming possible hero abilities.

[black.sheep]

Here are some ablity ideas.
Terran Vulture

• Jet Boost: Increases speed by Y for X seconds.
• Strafe Shot: Activatable Phoenix Fire that lasts for X seconds
• Overdrive: Disables attack, but allows the Vulture to gain speed based on jet boost and deals damage to nearby units equal to the speed of the Vulture. (The speed its currently moving at, so if its still then it will not be able to do damage)

Terran Wraith
Ultimate Strafing Run: The Wraith moves closer to the ground and flies towards the targeted location at a high speed, the wraith fires a spread of missles as it moves along.

 

[thewrongvine]

You only need Terran heroes right now? lol, also, is Yamoto Cannon from Starcraft? I remember seeing it from something... I think it was a Halo book.

Sounds pretty cool. I never really played Starcraft before, and I'm just waiting to start when II comes out, so I don't really know what abilities to give them. Sorry. But good luck!

OW. thank you very much i like those alot. The Vulture abilities would create a rather interesting Mobile Attacker.

Ya i am working on the early stages of the map right now. the first release will be a terran vs. terran demo map. after that i will start work on zerg and release a terran vs. zerg map, and then finally i will finish with the final terran vs. zerg vs. protoss map.

lol, also, is Yamoto Cannon from Starcraft? I remember seeing it from something... I think it was a Halo book.

Ya its from starcraft, but i dont imagine it could be the only place its from. In starcraft the yamoto cannon is this really big cannon on the terrans biggest air unit called the battle cruiser. it took like 5-6 seconds to charge up but when it shot it blew pretty much anything it shot at up.

Sounds pretty cool. I never really played Starcraft before, and I'm just waiting to start when II comes out, so I don't really know what abilities to give them. Sorry. But good luck!

well right now i have already made abilities for everything that already exists in the game so now im trying to get ideas for abilities that dont exist in the game. if you come up with any idea that would work for infantry, ground vehicals, or aircraft it could apply.

Terran Marine
some granade as area stun or aimed shot "give x% to crit"

Terran Firebat
burn up? fire up its self ;p (immolation)

Terran Siege Tank

crits in and so is immolate.

what do you mean by how the res works?

rest im of the skills im not to sure about. i dont think a siege tank with a missile ability is fitting.

 

[Jaujarahje]

Anti-air missiles for the tank for a skill
so if there are air units tanks won't be defenseless against them
*anti-air Missile- deals X amount of damage to a target air unit(or u can make it an aoe doesn't matter)

because some heroes will be air. i have decided to make all units able to attack both air and ground to keep things fair so an ability like this wont be needed. i dont want 1 hero to win just because hes the only one that can attack. then again if i dont then it makes for an interesting rock paper Scissors. hmmm.

 

[KeresPup]

Nice, I'll be expecting this game then

Here's my suggestions

Terran Ghost
*Occular Implants (From SC!!!) - Increases sight range by Y and attack range by Z. Also passively gives a chance to deal X bonus damage

Terran Siege Tank
*Volleying Charge - The Tank starts moving towards a selected direction for X seconds, increasing its movement speed by Y. While in this Charging state, the Tank shoots a random unit in its attack range dealing Z damage every N seconds (preferably less than 2 seconds).
*Thicker Plating - Passively increases the Tank's armor by X

added thinker plating. volleying gave me an idea for another ability to use instead.

Thank you for the ideas.

Wow, great idea making a Starcraft since so many SC models have been released on hiveworkshop. Im really gonna look forward to this since i loved playing Starcraft.

Ya its from starcraft, but i dont imagine it could be the only place its from. In starcraft the yamoto cannon is this really big cannon on the terrans biggest air unit called the battle cruiser. it took like 5-6 seconds to charge up but when it shot it blew pretty much anything it shot at up.

I loved that thing.

glad to hear it. when i first posted this stuff up i got no response so i thought i had maybe come up with a bad idea. all these posts make we work harder. thx for the support everyone.

 

[Sevion]

Goliath:

Thicker Plating: Increases Goliath's armor by X. (Same as the Siege Tanks. )

Upgrade Gears: The Goliath upgrades its gears and so increases its movement speed and attack speed by X%.

Ultimate - Twin Autocannons Upgrade: Increases the Goliath's ground-to-air missiles. (Add's X damage to the Goliath's attacks when attacking air units)

Science Vessel:

Ultimate - Titan Reactor Upgrade: Increases the Science Vessel's mana by X. (I'd do doubles the current mana. But, it's kind of hard without a Unit Properties system)

Wraith:

Upgrade Lasers: The Wraith's lasers are upgraded with an amplifier that doubles damage. (Or whatever you want)

Titanium Plating: Increases armor by X (Also same as Thicker Plating )

Battle Cruiser:

Autoturret: The Battle Cruiser installs an autoturret to the belly of the ship. Shoots at nearby enemies. (Works even when unit is moving. Use Phoenix Fire and change the model)

Titanium Plating: Increases armor by X.....

Electrostatic Ion Thruster Upgrade: The Battle Cruiser upgrades its thrusters. Increases movement speed by X%.

 

[Twilight33]

Thicker Plating: Increases Goliath's armor by X. (Same as the Siege Tanks. )

I want more diversity in abilities. im trying to keep from having the same ability show up more then 1 or 2 times.

Upgrade Gears: The Goliath upgrades its gears and so increases its movement speed and attack speed by X%.

goliath already has an attack speed boost. but movespeed would be good.

Ultimate - Twin Autocannons Upgrade: Increases the Goliath's ground-to-air missiles. (Add's X damage to the Goliath's attacks when attacking air units)

im trying to stay away from the Good vs ground/good vs air machanic.

Ultimate - Titan Reactor Upgrade: Increases the Science Vessel's mana by X. (I'd do doubles the current mana. But, it's kind of hard without a Unit Properties system)

i like it but i think ill make it do mana regen instead. thats more reactory to me.

Autoturret: The Battle Cruiser installs an autoturret to the belly of the ship. Shoots at nearby enemies. (Works even when unit is moving. Use Phoenix Fire and change the model)

me like. accepted as is.

Electrostatic Ion Thruster Upgrade: The Battle Cruiser upgrades its thrusters. Increases movement speed by X%.

not sure on this one. i think i want the battlecruiser to be a slow power house. this would break that idea. ow. maybe a teleport instead? no big ship should be without its hyperdrive

I would also like to take this moment to thank everyone for the ability ideas. thanks to you i am only 4 abilities away from completing every terran hero.

 

[Sevion]

im trying to stay away from the Good vs ground/good vs air machanic.

Goliath is the Terran Ground vs Air unit. It's the reason for the Twin Autocannons in the first place. :/

I should have a rouge alpha version up in the next few days.

If you can convert those spike bombs or w/e there called(its a item) and convert it into a spell, it can work as a spider mine, works exactly the same way.

You're talking about the Goblin Land Mine.

ya i was already thinking that until i remembered that the spider mines moved. Im going to take the more difficult route and do a triggered version of the spider mines. my objective her is to mimic the starcraft mechanics with the only limit being what warcraft can handle. i dont mind learning stuff to accomplish that either . i am profficient in java programming so im fairly sure jazz should be that hard for me to learn if i need it.

 

[KeresPup]

Hey there Twightlight, got some more skill ideas for ya:

Terran Goliath

Barrage (channeling, active) - The Goliath Starts to shoot rapid fire at a target area, dealing X damage per second in a Y AoE. The Barrage lasts as long as Z seconds or when the Goliath stops manually.

Launch Rear Missiles (Ultimate) - The Goliath fires (Z*2) missiles targetting a random enemy unit within the Y AoE. Each missile deals X damage and stuns C second(s). (The stun stacks).

Terran Wraith

Rapid Fire (passive) - gives the Wraith a constant X% chance (preferably below 15%) to fire Y additional beams at the same time (normal attack) when he attacks a unit.

Sonic Boom (active) - the wraith speeds up towards a target area, before making a sudden halt when he reaches the target area. The impact deals X damage to all enemy units in an AoE of Y and stunning them for Z second(s)
