Report, edit, etc...Posted by www.com.au on 2005-06-19 at 23:46:57
i spose this is an idea thats been riding on my mind for about a month now.
im going to present it to the public now, and if a mojority tends to like the idea, i might start it.
heres the actual intr to the idea:
AT RPG
After terra.
In the year 2094 A.D. Earth fell apart. Governments started to lose thier power due to huge protests and several large underground left wing groups starting thier own small democracy's.
The earth ran out of petrol and oil after several large fires and spills, caused by a large terrorist group based in Seattle, and freak accidents.
Several large companies have been uprooted, or gone bankrupt as another huge left wing organisation, The Firebreed, joined forces with several other small underground groups, showing all of the corporation's deepest darkest secrets to the public.
As the organisations were brought down, normal everyday supplies like milk, water and food started to become harder to come by, and a huge crime wave hit the world.
All this took place over a period of approximately 12 years.
So they created a new era, which they named: After Terra.
As the crimes continued, 1 large corporation, named ATST used its security forces, which it had been training for the past 6 years, to protect a few hundred acres of land where they gave free residence to all who came, in 3 AT.
The only catch, of course, was that the oldest male of the family must join thier security forces.
at about 7 AT thier army had grown to contain about 3 million infantry units. each unit containing about 10 men.
they took land more and more as they needed it, because ATST was offering some of the best protection in the world.
It was not to hard to obtain the land, as the only things standing in thier way were a few stragglers, and the odd family that didnt want to move.
Until now. Little did they know, that in 11 AT they would meet the left wing organisation, The Firebreed's borders.
The Firebreed were also very large now. containing about 12 million members, and they were catching about another 200 a day. They had a very true and fair way of thinking, and all memebers were treated with respect, this is why so many members were joining.
the Firebreed did not offer protection, however, joining them, you would reside in one of thier many camps, which were growing larger. The Firebreed let any gender in, as long as they were over the age of 16.
the Firebreed tended to have an insatiable urge to annhilate the Military.
After all, the Military were based on the old Military, before the Fall.
The military were a harsh, and extremely disciplined group, that still led by the old ways. The military were not as large as the other 2 groups mentioned before, but were were extremely well trained. By about 11 AT they only had about 2 million members, these members joined because either they were deluded by the ads posted in the streets, "Join the Military! Survive AT and get brilliant training and combat skills." The posters did not lie, the people that joined got thier training, what they didnt get what as a choice to leave. often new members would find it to harsh or similair, but upon asking to leave, would be either shot or tortured to death.
Often thier deaths would be done in front of a crowd of people, as to make an example.
People that realised they couldnt get out easily would often try to sneak out to join the Firebreed, but only to die by either the base security systems, which would kill anyone who tripped the laser fences, or killed by gaurd at the Firebreed's base, who would naturally shoot the intruders.
the small few who made it would be only allowed in after giving as much information about the military as possible.
The military enjoyed destroying lightly defended communities, or small underground organisations.
The small organisations were ver common, but very small. they were often poorly trained, but tended to have gifted TechHackers and MechHackers. They commonly joined forces with the Firebreed for protection from the military.
they tended to get most of thier resources of the Traders.
The traders are a neutral group who were created when a few men who had some valuable items gathered together, and stole some guns to defend themselves. they were slowly joined by more and more people, and now are the main suppliers of food and weapons and ammunition for the rest of the world. they consist of about 5 million members, who will travel in Trading Convoys, going from base to base.
Trading convoys consisted of about 30-40 men, 3 armoured vehicles and 2 supply wagons.
the Traders would often trade supplies for protection, and would start wars easily by doing so, when they thought it was necessary.
the traders hate selling to the military, as they often take vehicles/men from them, but they are thier largest buyer, so they must keep going.
The players are going to be several brothers, who live in a happy house and neighborhood.
after just surviving through the fall, the brothers decide that it is time to seek out some protection from the millions of stragglers and thieves.
each player will be able to choose thier own destiny, starting out as a civilian, and having to head to the base of the group they would like to join.
when starting out, they must avoid stragglers, and the military (unless they would like to join them) who will force the player to join.
they will progress along a story line, hopefully following missions, and upgrading, as well as having a choice of being a pilot or an infantry unit or the likes.
they may join any group, including traders and the small underground groups.
each group will have unique units, and to win u must wipe out all opposing forces.
The Firebreed - A left wing group.
The military - a harsh and well trained group.
ATST - a large group, offering protection.

The traders -
Basic trader - equipped with a sub machine gun and plenty of knowledge of the land, these traders are usually found in convoys.

hehe sounds like one kickass map. I hope you really do make it. btw, if you need any help with triggereing etc, I'd be mroe than willing to lend a hand

Wow, has a very long storyline 
So wait, once everyone joins a group, will it sorta be like a war/strategy between all the different groups? Or will it be like each group has their own encampment and you do quests with them, and get everything from the encampmet?
You should make it so everyone is Unallyed vision so once you leave each other theres no seeing each other again...
lol
Cool map

sounds like a REAL rpg
also getting some things from the first World Of Starcraft would be cool
also useing a commanding system where you can order friendly units basic commands ex. follow me, attack with me, hold pos, stop those all would be very easy to impliment
cheers
good luck on the map

thx for the comments 
ill probably make it, but first theres something else i have to finish. (its not a map)
shiny_new: i will use those commands (thx) but maybe when you got to a higher rank, and the higher you are the more commands you get.
m.r.bob: im not sure what units the mechanichs will be (im assuming you mean the techhacker and mechhackers.)
but mech hackers will (basically) walk up to a unit, latch on to it ( so you cant be shot while trying to shutdown an enemy vehicle..) and you will have like some sequence you will need to go through, and if you dont do it correctly, you get thrown off, and if you do it right, the pilot of the vehicle is killed (somehow
) and it goes nuetral. you can then climb inside.
Tech hackers will be able to shutdown (or take over.. ) defense grids.. security firewalls, security cameras.. and so on.
im really not sure how to do the sequence though.
doodle3000: thanks it took a while to write.
it will probably be, the encampents are all there, you walk into one and can get recruited. some may (or may not) have a choice if you want to get recruited or not. once youre in there probably wont be a chance to get out, but if you do, and rejoin, you lose your rank.
players will only be allied vision to allies. so when they join a group, they vision them. if another player joins the group as well, theyll vision with them to.
RandomJo: thanks . i would be more then happy to let you help me do triggers. ( ) because its more than likely i might not know how to do some things with triggers..
tHe_tHiNg: thanks for the spam -.-'

Nice story, but a map like that will probably take a lot of triggers and such. Personally, I've only ever had the work-ethic to complete a very complicated map once. Well, I'll say again, that's a pretty cool story.

if you ever want some one to work with ill be happy to try and help you out
email is firstuser29@gmail.com
if you dont trust me (which i would understand) i could just write triggers or something witch a really old version of map or something
but with the commanding i did mean the higher level and stuff *maybe not just level like respect or influance* ex. you take 3 marines and non of them die then you get more respect and people want to go with you

Wow, this sounds damn awesome!
If done properly, it would probably become my favorite map ever!
It's "turn off shared vision", not "allied" or "unallied" vision! EEARGH! Why do people call it "allied vision"?!

Yah, well im getting started on it, and theres little things that are going to annoy the *Bleep* out of me. I wanted to know, should i make it shared exp when thier on the same team?
Im going to make it that, when u get to a certain amount you go up a level, thus gaining a higher unit i think the problem might be that some teams will have the same units. which isnt what i wanted.
Mechjackers will take ages to work out, so ill prolly do that last ()
Any help i could get would be good, seeing it may take.. well.. a long time.
Wish me luck!
