The Collaborative Map Making Project

[lllidan]

so basically to add a few of our ideas together, we could have multiple towns, some that sell shit, some that are just there to kill (or conquer) and some that send waves, and then the big bastion. My question is even in 6v6 should we seperate the towns for each player?

Well i guess we might make it epic. But what ussually bother me in huge maps, is teh time to get from oen poitn to another. And abotu towns.. I thought making towns *LIKE* real towns with neutral peasants that live and trade, Ability to start yoru own business etc. And if you play just as players i nteam, the best thing it can get to is an Arena/City builder hybrid

yes i like this. basically the map should be a how to say "life" map wait no a "empire" map. A save/load trigger would definitely be necesary cause this game wont end in an hour.

as for the business there should be many diff careers and requirements/quests in order to improve income. there should be lots of little creep zones to explore each with a secret (lik a waygate deep within a creep infested cave)

 

[lllidan]

Depending on the poll poutcome we could have it like this:

FFA- each empire works in solitaire to explore and conquer and be the wealthiest, and of course destroying the other bases and killing a few creep dungeons and the great bastion.

Team 6v6- same as FFA except allied with no solitary, and bastion/dungeons will be way stronger

2v10- The bastion stilll remains computer controlled, but two new kingdoms are introduced with unique units and careers. Very powerful.

Assuming this would be in a Village setting, you could talk to the village elder in the place you start on to help destroy the bandit problem. Victory assures trust to nearby towns, and allows you to get a unique item.

Alternatively, you could join the bandits and destroy the village, losing your trust in the other villages, but it gives you trust in the bandit 'society', giving you some access in good items in the process.

I saw this in another post. Maybe something to consider?

NEDM, I tried to read all of the posts, but it went from 3 pages to 8 in 11hours so i gave up at page 4 . Just here to say, my map I was working on before has been put off to the side. You can count me as a full member. :shades:

Thanks, 101112131415 ! It means a lot to us Even though we put a lot of weight on the importance of reading through it all. But it
's not REALLY that important, since i'll structure everything in a while. Just remember to vote!!!

You're in Zero R! I know what you mean, when i'm throug responding to pages 8-12 i'll add new "rules" on posting for the ease and delight of everyone

 

[NEDM]

for ur other easons: whats wrong with having a mode where two players act as the "vampires" (so to speak) in a map?

To play vampire or such is an all to minor role in the game, and i strongly reccomend computer controlled vampires for several reasons. But, as everything here, it can (and will) be discussed. Time is unlimited, friends !

 

[NEDM]

the poll needs to be remade/updated cause there are many more sollutions to the problem i would go for 6v6 because of the compition with this idea you could host turny's and many other advertising schemes to get the game out

also voting would be complicated cause how we will choose evil befor hand we would have to make seperate maps if it randomly chose 2 people they would most likely leave

I see your point, maddog. The problem is;
A)We can't go on making threads.
B)We can't really consider our project "greater" or "higher" that others, letting us post threads as we want.
C)And the thing with this is, we can't keep going back in the discussions, to topics already settled and discussed through - then wouldn't come anywhere! So, you know...We'll see :shades:

 

[Zero R.]

Can we have a recap of what're we planning?

Honestly, all I know is that we're making an RPG, and that we're arguring about the forces of evil. The rest is drowned in ideas.
