Winter is Coming

[Atreides]

Yeah I know this is a double post of sorts, but I had an idea for heroes that I need feedback on.

As opposed to the regular hero system where you have 3 levelable, learnable hero skills and an ultimate, I thought of this: Each hero starts out with 1-4 skills. They gain levels are normal heros, but their skills upgrade automatically upon reaching a certain level, and again at a later level. They gain an ultimate when they reach a certain level. Demi-heroes would also be like heroes, except they would not have an icon on the left hand side of the screen, and would gain less attributes, and possibly no ability upgrades. So what this would do would 1) make it so that I don't have to come up with filler skills for heroes, thus making there be less overall hero skills and large hero groups more manageable, and 2) save me loads of time in the editor making hero skills (less skills, no learn tooltips). They only downside I see to this is less hero skill customization and a few more triggers in an already trigger-laden map. So should I do this or stick with the regular system?

I'm the books' fan, yes, I love them (I miss so much Tyrion's jokes though...), if there is anything I can do to help, let me know!

Hear Me Roar!!

i read the books, cant wait to play the map, when do you think youll finish it?

 

[Atreides]

I don't know. Probably depends a lot on how much mapping I do in college (if any), and whether or not I implement the hero idea I wrote about a couple posts above (it would probably save me a good bit of time cause making spells would be easier). It's great to know people are looking forward to this, so that should help motivate me to go faster

Looks very nice, can't wait to see the outcome, btw, the pillars or towers or whatever on "Winterfall" seems kind of strange imo.

Keep up the good job.

The fourth one (newest batch of pictures) doesn't seem well done compared to the others =/

Never read the books, nothing too special about the towns. But the walls look very rounded and that makes it stick out alot compared to other games. Thats what I think

how much is completed? almost ready to host it?

 

[Atreides]

It won't be done for a good while. Not only is it not my only current project, but I'm gonna get my wisdom teeth pulled soon, and then college (will probably mean more life/sailing, less warcraft). So a lot of disturbances in the near future. But I'll still be working on it...right now I'd say the terrain is at least 25% done, and almost half the spawn triggers are done. Heroes however, are far from done.

Hey, so I realize this is hella necroing a dead post, but assuming that the map is entirely scrapped at this point, would anyone know how to either contact Atreides or obtain an editable copy of the map? If it's ok with Atreides, I wanna see if I can salvage his terrain for a different ASoIaF themed map I want to work on...
