The Key

The Key

The key to the world of Slavthur has been dropped! Light and darkness are fighting to control the world. The man with the key, is the chosen one. The key unlocks territory, the key unlocks everything. It is up to you to stop the opposing force.

Basically, a random hero on a random force starts out with the key. The opposing force tries to get the key. The person with the key uses the key to unlock territory and make their force stronger.

Light Heroes

Arthur – The healer and leader of the Light. His braveness and smarts guide him in battle. Adept in holy magic and fighting. Melee.

Spells: Holy Water - Arthur sprinkles some holy water on top of the friendly unit or self and heals for 500 hit points.

Darkaloid – The twisted ranger of the Dark, she scares the light to death. Her bow is her greatest power, along with her awesome spells. Ranged.

I am currently working on the heroes and spells. Do you think I should make the same hero in the hero tavern pickable more than once?

So far ... So good ... when will it be released?

Sounds unbalanced.

Lets say team 1 gets the key first. Team 1 gets stronger, while team 2 doesn't. Team 1 is stronger than Team 2 so Team 1 > Team 2 and they get the key again... keeps one going.

 

[Demonwrath]

I think the key should be given to the first player to say, reach like level 5, or soemthing.

That way it is a bit fairer in a sense

 

[Waaaaagh]

Spawn the key in one of three random areas equidistant from each starting base.

If you're really crazy, make the key 'alive', and move it with triggers (so that it looks all 'nope, can't catch me!').

 

[T3rm1nat0r]

Ya, make the key a unit and then it moves around all the time and who ever gets it first gets it first...

 

[Nets8]

This will be released when I'm finished. I don't know when. I can sure use testers though, does anyone want to be one?

 

[T3rm1nat0r]

I'll be a tester, i love to be ! Count me in!

Your heroes don't seem very interesting or each race versatile. Both races have basically the same heroes just with different alignments. Make them more interesting and unique. and a few other things:

"Laneous – The healer and leader of the Dark" Does an evil person heal people

"outrageous rage." - Rawwwwwwwwwrr. maybe something that isn't outrageous (it's like saying the big tall man)

 

[Nets8]

Lol, I can't think of anything for heroes and the such. I'll look on the DoTa site for ideas. Terminator, add me on msn: [email protected]. Do you think I should make the same hero in the hero tavern pickable more than once?

 

[Sadcase123]

I think you should make 2 different keys, one for both each darkness and light.
As they are fighting, maybe the heros(or players) from each side had to undergo a quest to obtain their own keys. Probably a quest needed to fight some insane boss or pass through a horde of monsters. After that, when both sides get the keys, the fighting resumes. Well, this somehow in a sense is fair, because the team which want to win will have to work together to obtain the key first.

EDIT: Maybe you want to enable like the key can be dropped, by the player whose carrying it.
Also be specific about the key, meaning, what the key does.
Does it add godly stats to the player carrying it?
Does it enable the player(or the team) to have access to a shop which sell godly weapons?
Or so....if you know what i mean.

 

[T3rm1nat0r]

Sorry i don't have msn ... I'll get it now!! I'll add you... for the key i think you should take the idea of it being a unit and it runs away and then make a trigger that has an event that goes like this - Unit Comes within 100 of Key <gen>!

My first impression after reading Post #1 is imbalance.
Even if it's random, the force that gets the key will win, 99.99% of the time.

And if you make it so that the Hero that gets to lv X first gets the key, then your game will be a last-hitting and denying tournament.
So... you should make a better method to give the key.

esb has allready said that... he said that it is unbalanced or something like that!

you could make it have a certain dark deeds feel to it.

The character chosen to have the key would also be chosen for a random side. All other players would go to the other side.

The problem with this is amount of players matters. That could be fixed by any way from having the cooldown for the key longer the less players there are, to having a third (or quarter) of the players be on the same side as the player with the key.


p.s. have complicated spells. yours is just a very, very, very suped up holy light (1250 hitpoints every 10 seconds?).
