WIP The Dark Battles

[sidove]

Hi everybody on the TH after I'm going to start with a new campain. The story of the campain is here:

12 years have past of the great battles of earth, the times where no one was respected, everything was killed and no one was spared, these are the times that the people will always be scared of to come back.

Now the king of Triadeon have discovered that some of their best spies and men have been slaughtered, they have seen that a war is coming, a war that they cannot fight, a war they will loose...

They were right after 2 months the Wargalrs attacked, no one was able to help the city of Tradeon, no body ever came, no body wanted to come...

As their last hope they send the city's of the land Kidadom a massage to be peppered and gather armor and weapons before it's too late. Now your the worlds last hope so now go out there and fight!

Siridon Missions

Cinematic

The people of Sirodon walk the streets like if it was a normal day, but not for long enough cause the last spy of Triadeon enters the kingdom on his almighty horse.
- Hail! I'm the last spy of Triadeon and i bring an important massage to the king! says he to the guards
The guards look at man with skeptic eyes and say:
- Yes sure, and I'm the king of OZ.
The captain exits the gate of the city and says to his guards:*
- Fools what are you doing don't you understand that this is important?!
The captain starts walking back to where he came from and spy follows him.

He enter his room and asks what the spy wants and the spy tells the story about the city of Triadeon.
He also says that the Wargarls are attacking in 2 months so he must be peppered and act fast.

Mission 1 - The first hope
Build 3 barracks and 4 squads and then proceed to the extraction point for further information from you captain...

To bee continued....

So that was a little information about story so here is a little about the gameplay:
Gameplay

Spoiler

This is not a regular map with a spam and spawn system, here their are squad systems here is explanation for the squad system:
A squad is a bunch of units who follow their leader. Anything the leader does, their companions will do as well. The leader can stop leading his troops or recruit/dismiss new/old units, the leader can choose from different kind of formations: circle, line etc.

If the leader dies then the unit that have killed the most units in the squad will get promoted to the leader. The group that have the most kills will maybe get +dmg, more hp reg, mana reg and so on.

These are the ranks a unit can achieve:
Battle Roar Buff = 2 kills = Slayer

Blue mana sphere: 5 kills = Lieutenant

Green mana thing = 7 kills = Major

Berserker Buff = 9 kills = Srg

Crown over head buff = 11 kills (this is the rank before captain) = Second leader of the squad (dunno the name of that rank ).

Flag on it's back = Captain

Little Update Check the first post!

Is there anybody that can help ?

 

[thewrongvine]

Well cinematics and terrain isn't really the main part of the map, so it's not really "credit taking".

What do you mean?

 

[thewrongvine]

Nothing, just know that I was supporting you,

What do you need to do to be captain? It seems like you don't need to kill a lot to rank up.

Ehh you need to be the one that have killed the most units in the group

And I could use some support on the terrian cause am thinking of releasing a trailer soon


And what do ya think of this unit:

Smoker
This is the Wargral assassin, he is based on casting smoke on enemy locations so he can go unseen and assassinate them. If you have a couple of these it would be pretty deadly and would be the best choice for amushing archers.

I have some ability ideas for him here are they:

Smoke Attack [required Upgrade]
Whenever the Smoker is ordered to attack an enemy then he automatically casts a smoke grenade at the location making him invisible in it.
Feral Sense
The Smoker enters his Feral Sense making him able to see invisible units, hidden unit (behind bushes, all units will get highlighted) and he will gain the ability to climb on specific walls.

Hmm i have a trailer for the campaign on my mind i thought like this:

First you see from 1st person view from a Wargral footmans eyes. Then suddenly a rain of arrows rains down from heaven on them.

Then you can see in slowmotion how the footman's die and they shout:
- RAIN OF ARROWS!!

When the group of wargrals are dead the archer shout in victory, when somebody throws a smoke bomb at their postion and they shout:

- SMOKERS! RUN FOR YOU LIFE!

Then the view changes in to a smokers eyes (the view of a smoker is like a normal persons view but with red lines on the sides, so it looks you're looking through a beasts eyes, which he pretty much is) and then the smoker takes his hand up in the air to kill the archer and then it fades out with a big text that show:

The Dark Battles

Coming Sooner then you expect.

So what do ya think?

Is it good or bad please leave feedback !
