Terra's Decimation
This if my first release using pure vJass, and as such I've worked for awhile on the core systems to get a good foundation. For now, all that's done is a simple forest for new characters and such. I have 3 heroes done so far, which all have synergistic abilities to further encourage their use. Each spell also grows stronger with each use, but I'll go over that later. The current name is pending, as I'm a bit too tired to think of a better one at the moment...
Systems:
All systems listed there are complete, but may change due to changes in theme, and/or ideas. I'll list an explanation of each next:
Party System:
In this ORPG I wanted to put forth the idea that working in a team is indeed better, so I came up with this: Each player can team with another granting vision and shared experience gain. Each team has a max of four members, teams can be created at will, and named whatever one likes.
"Knock out" System:
When one reaches death their soul will be instead be knocked out of their body. Their soul is invisible and only visible to party members. Souls cannot react with the enviroment, nor leave/enter dungeons. You have several options: Reach 75% of your Max HP, have a healer rejoin your spirit, visit a Medium in town (Which cannot be done in dungeons), or just wait 5 minutes.
"Corpse" System:
In the event a medium rejoins your soul, your body comes with you. Pertaining to some sense of reality, your items will be left behind in a "pack". Only party members can pick it up, if you or your party members pick it up it is automatically transferred to your hero.
Grade System:
Upon killing a unit, Grade is added to your hero. Grade is an inaccessible value attached to your save code. To get the value, upon killing a unit certain factors are determined. Grade starts at the optimal value of 10*Level of Monster. Your HP difference of what you started with upon attacking the unit, and when you kill it is divided by 10, then subtracted from Grade. Additional factors such as Potions, how many people helped, and etc. are factored in. Grade is only accessed upon loading. It is only used to add enhancements to your hero for only that game. Ie: Addtional Experiance Gain.
Intuitive Damage Show System:
It's pretty minor, but my Damage show only shows damage with 0.4 seconds, ie: unit is hit 2 times within 0.4 seconds, combine the damage and show. I needed to play with it, since Shield spells did not factor into it, so it now shows the actual damage.
Spell Evolvement System: (Yet again, I know evolvement is not a word.)
Upon casting spells you increase it's use. After the use of that spell is at a certain point, the spell will increase in damage, AoE, etc. Additional factors may be added in later.
So, without further ado, here is a section for you to rant about possible features:
"Ambush":
Upon being hit in the back, determined by certain values, you will receive 130% of the damage. Ie: Hit with 100 damage in the back, you will instead receive 130 damage.
Clean Hit:
For every hit a roll is cast, not literally, if it passes within a margin dictated by your weapon, ie: 12% or 30%, then you get a clean hit. A clean hit is essentially a ministun, and no it doesn't stack.
Others may be added in.
Screen Shots:
Here's a lame screenshot of my horrible self-done terrain. (Note: If you can see this section of the terrain, you can't see much else around you.)
New Screenshot:
Heroes:
Here's a preview of some heroes.
Priestess:
The Priestess is the main healer of the game, don't mistake her for pure healing, she has a few methods to keep her own in battle.
Divine Protection:
The Priestess prays for the hero's soul for Mish'kala to overlook the hero's well-being. Adds 15% Damage reduction, 15 Hp Regeneration, and its spirit will rejoin its body in the event of being knocked out.
Sacred Texts: (Passive)
For every 3 intelligence the Priestess will fore-go 1 point of her Mana cost on spells.
Spirit Recollection:
Upon casting it on a Fallen Hero's body their soul with rejoin its body. Heals the hero by 25% of their max HP if they are under it.
The Battle Mage:
The Battle Mage is responsible for taking down large groups of enemies at a time using his Mana as a medium to even further his tanking capabilities.
Discharge/Mana Steal: (Toggle)
Discharge: Instead of absorbing stolen mana, while Discharge is toggled the Mage will collect the energy into a single attack. When Discharge is untoggled his next attack will deal 50 * (Stolen Mana*2) in an Area. The Battle mage will also lose the inflicted damage in mana.
Mana Steal: Attacks will steal mana equal to the inflicted damage / 5. This will also purge the unit, inflicting the stolen mana as damage.
Battle Stance: (Toggle and Debuff)
All magical damage will be foregone and the Mage will switch to Melee Attacks. The mage will deal Piercing damage to units, ignoring 15 of its armour. The Mage will also incur a loss of 5 Armour and 20 Damage.
Warrior's Blood: (Passive)
For every percentage of missing mana the Mage will lose his grip on his sanity. He gains 12% increased attack speed and 9 Strength per instance.
Berserker:
The Berserker is the main tank of the game. He uses his crowd control abilities to clear the way for spell-casters and to further his own progress.
War Cry: (AoE)
The Berserker lets out a cry debuffing all nearby enemies causing them to lose 20% hp, and giving it to the Berserker. The De/Buff lasts for 17 seconds for the Berserker, and enemies.
Rushing Strike: (Charge-type)
The Berserker rushes towards a target enemy pushing aside any enemy in his path, if the Berserker is stunned or silenced in any way during his charge, he will be idle for 3 seconds. Upon impact with units he will deal 120 physical damage and be pushed back for 200 units. The Berserker will additionally stun the target unit for 2 seconds and deal 230 Physical damage.
Berserker's Blood: (Passive)
For every 5 kills the Berserker has a 15% chance to increase his hp by 150. The gained hp is not saved from game to game.
(More Heroes coming soon.)
Lore:
Terra
Terra is the Plane in which humans reside. Terra is the midway between Niflheim and the Upper Realm. Humans have lived in peace since the times of Chaos, but as of late Demons have begun their ascent into Terra. Many humans live here, but several Upper Beings such as Elves and other fictitious creatures have descended to aid the Lesser Born.
Niflheim
Niflheim is the first of the Lower Realms, being the borderline between it and Terra. Many of the weaker Demons reside in this plane. But as time passes, more of the Lower Realm Demons have begun the ascent into Terra as well.
The Upper Realm
The Upper Realm is a Plane of fictitious existence. It's exact nature is unknown, as well as what resides in it, the only creatures to emerge would be the Elves, and an assortment of other Intelligent Races. The only person to know of its true name does not exist in Terra, nor all but the lowest Realm. This creature's name is not yet known to those outside his reach of power, but soon his name will become known to all...
The Story So Far
Demons have begun their decimation in Terra, it has become increasingly apparent to humans that they have no chance to win by normals means. Yet, a former Demon Queen along with her loyal minions appeared before the King. The exact conversation between her and the King are so far unknown to the public, but as a consequence she is being escorted by her many minions and several rather lucky travelers to an undisclosed location. They know not its purpose, but by the sound of their King, it's the only chance they have.

Examples:
I just wanted to post an example of the simplistic code that comes with using vJass for people who are confused by my earlier statement.
JASS:
scope BerserkersBlood initializer Init
//! runtextmacro PUI_PROPERTY("public", "integer", "Kills", "0")
//! runtextmacro PUI_PROPERTY("public", "integer", "Hplevel", "0")
private function Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
local unit u = GetKillingUnit()
if GetUnitAbilityLevel(u, 'A00U') == 1 then
set Kills<u> = Kills<u> + 1
if Kills<u> == 5 then
set Kills<u> = 0
if GetRandomInt(1, 100) >= 15 then
set Hplevel<u> = Hplevel<u> + 3
set Bonus_Life<u> = Hplevel<u>
endif
endif
endif
set u = null
return false
endfunction
//===========================================================================
private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger t = CreateTrigger( )
call TriggerAddCondition( t, Condition(function Conditions))
call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH)
call PreloadAbil('A00U')
endfunction
endscope
</u></u></u></u></u></u></u></u>I know it has very minor leaks due to Creating Triggers and etc, but only one hero of its kind can be picked.
