+Intro

Made for Syphon's "StarEdit Only UMS Tournament".

Majesty the game is a unique strategy game where each player controlls a kingdom, recruiting Heroes to their service. Multiplayer Majesty allowed the kingdoms to interact, whether aiding each other or battling. Majesty the map, however, features one single kingdom, one king, and up to 4 Heroes. Like the game that inspired it, this map features RPG elements not found in other maps such as random map placement and random monster generation. The ability for one player to build a town that the other players can use is also rare, but has been successfully tested in one of my previous RPGs, World of Starcraft 2. The result? An RPG with the ultimate replayability! The world is different each time the map is played, and the town will also be built up differently depending on the player who is King.

"Seas of water. Seas of time. Both isolate Ardania, a realm steeped in humanity's myth and lore. Within the folds of Ardania's landscape dwell creatures of fantasy, and of nightmare. Facing these challenges are epic heroes, some motivated by treasure and greed; other heroes are inspired by honour, and righteous ideals; and some by a genuine fear of evil's defiling touch. To overcome these dire perils, Ardania's heroes need but one thing- an inspired leader to defy the darkness. Accept Ardania's crown, and forge new legends for this ancient land!" -intro movie of the original Majesty game

+Available Characters (Heroes)
[attachmentid=15299][attachmentid=15301][attachmentid=15302]

--Level 1 Palace
---Rogue: the Rogue is your classic Thief type Hero. Employing such abilities as Steal, the Rogue will amass his riches quickly- if he is keen to not let his ambition throw his life away.
---Ranger: the Ranger is a frontiersman. The Ranger is a Hero preferred by players who want attack range but do not want to sacrifice too much health or offensive power.
---Warrior: the Warrior is the most basic melee fighter. Despite this fact, a Warrior benefits in attack damage and health increases, as well as direct offensive spells.

--Level 2 Palace
---Level 1 Heroes
---Elf: the Elf is a cross of the Rogue and the Ranger. While the Elf's weapon of choice is also a Longbow like that of the Ranger, there are more money generating abilities like the Rogue's Steal.
---Monk: the Monk is a more advanced fighter. Unlike the warrior, the Monk does not wield a blade, but prefers martial arts, resulting in less direct damage, but more potent spells.
---Cultist: the Cultist is the exact equivalent of a druid from other RPGs. While not the best fighter, the Cultist tips the fight in his favor by summoning ferocious animals to fight for him.

--Level 3 Palace
---Level 1 and 2 Heroes
---Paladin: the Paladin is the most well-trained fighter. With many spells similar to those of the Monk, the Paladin also benefits from better direct damage due to the use of a sword instead of bare hands.
---Priestess: the Priestess is similar to the Cultist. Unlike the Cultist, the Priestess has no direct attack, but can summon many more minions; the Cultist can only have 1 at a time.
---Wizard: the Wizard is well-trained in spells. Though he has the lowest health of all the Heroes, the Wizard also has the deadliest spells- if he has trained enough.

---

+Available Buildings (King)
--Level 1 Palace
---Palace (additionals cannot be built): here a player can leave the realm of Ardania and start afresh with a brand-new Hero
---Blacksmith: upgrading everything from weapons and armors to spells and summoned monsters' damage
---Inn: rest for a minor fee contributed to the King
---Marketplace: purchase basic necessities to surviving beyond the safety of the kingdom
---Guardhouse: while this building cannot be entered, it spreads creep needed to build other buildings. When upgraded, it is the King's only defense besides the Henchman; and unlike the Henchman, the kingdom can have more than 1 Guardhouse.

--Level 2 Palace
---Magic Bazaar: with more items than the Marketplace, the Magic Bazaar sells more offensive than defensive equipments to be used in battle
---Hall of Champions: serves a dual purpose. It offers an enchantment, Vigor, which slightly raises the combat stats of a Hero; the King can also choose a Monster that the Heroes have previously killed and display it in the Hall of Champions, which gives that monster double the normal experience when killed by the Heroes

--Level 3 Palace
---Royal Gardens: offers the enchantment Bless, which greatly reduces the damage done to the Hero for a short period of time
[attachmentid=15290]
---Fairgrounds: here Heroes can train by attacking a dummy, which gives great experience, albeit much less gold than killing even the most basic monster; nevertheless, the Fairgrounds is essential to weaker Heroes like the Priestess and Wizard, who can gain levels without the risk of dying
