[Kershbob]

Not sure what the type of map is called where your unit spawn automatically (for instance most of the LotR maps)

(It's main plot is based of something or other.)

Features
All custom heroes
Side Quests :O
Up to 10 players
Different races
Building "add-ons" (Like in BfME)
Triggered Criticals and inbuilt evasion for heroes
Timeline system (still buggy - can't get the maths right)
Date system with festivals etc on certain weeks
Actually fun

Races
2 Humans
Dwarves
Elves
Undead
Bug-like Civilization
Evil humans
Beastmen
Orcs
Treants





It's neally done; the only thing I havn't thought of yet is more festivals etc. (You can give me some ideas if you want)

Most important point:

Does it leak?

 

[Kershbob]

Eww of course not. I made sure of that.

This project is back alive. I *think* I just removed whatever made it randomly crash and now it works smooth as ever.

Just a note; this is a huge map.

Some teasers of the above features:

Storyline??? All good maps must have a storyline... Also one for each of the heroes you control and stuff....

Nah

Played enough video games to know that a storyline is not important. They are just completely boring now

The world it's set in has a very rich history.

Basically recent events (at the time this map is set) has caused a the "evil" factions to form alliances that threaten the "good" races of Thesti so a rapid alliance is formed between the Humans Dwarves and Elves and, though shaky, it is required for survival.

The "evil" human faction, Dai, has allowed the other hostile factions to process in technology and tactics as well as such events as a new Orc war chief rising to power with his strangely high intellect.

Another factor posing a threat is that the once dormant firelord of the north has acquired a relic that allows him to possess a corporeal form and using his ancient knowledge has freed an insectoid race from under the mountain. This means the old peaceful mountain range overlooking a human capital has become a fiery symbol of evil.
