I have an idea for an RPG, the main premise is that there is no definitive evil. It's also to show some of the brutality of war, however necessary it may be. I intend to do most of the triggering/story writing myself, but if I like what you can do, maybe. Well, I'm not very good at terrain, so if anyone is interested, well, reply and I guess it'll go on from there. Further story information won't be given here, since some idiot may end up completely plagiarizing it.
I could help you on your rpg maP
but what tpe of gameplay will you use?
What type of gameplay?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The battle system (presumably) will be alot like Final Fantasy 10. I don't intend to just have a marine running around shooting at stuff.

battle system or Gameplay is same thing.
FF10 Battle system is a turn based system its simple and its been done

Good luck.
I didn't intend to make a really complex system, I just enjoy it's battle system. Well... I guess this means I'm not getting help from you.
im not really a mapmaker much...i try to do solo projects alot but usually end up cussing the heck out of my computer because it wont play the map...terraining is the easiest part of the job i think =\
So would you be interested in helping me?
Actually I think terrain is the hardest, cus whenever I make terrain, i always think it looks bad...

terraining is very hard because its not just about terrain that makes it look good, its also the doodads and unit placement.
If you do extended terrain, it can be very hard and long, but if you use just X-tra or the normal editor, terrain is very easy.
What kind of terrain do you want? What tileset, map size, what sort of map design are you thinking of?
For me, terraining WOULD be easy, except my computer is weird in doing scales. When I look at my map in the editors, the scale is like 1:5 (Editor: Playing it) (>.<) All of my passages are huge because of it. I'll try to help though <(^.^)>
Well if your looking for terrain, I made this a while ago, but it didnt work out. I scrapped the project, but kept the map. This is a 256X256 ice terrain map, and I tried to make it as basic as possible in other areas, so you could do your own thing. It's meant to be an open rpg map, but its pretty directive.... Well if you need a map, here it is.

My map is supposed to be on a jungle tileset, because you can't have snow beaches. I have some ideas, and well, I didn't invision it on Ice terrain. Sorry, but thanks. Nice terrain, by the way. Edit: My idea is rather simple. It's simply two towns, a temple, a beach, and a maybe a forest or two. Atleast, right now. I'm not sure, I'll work on the concept later, I guess.

Wow, that is some pretty nice terrain.
I agree with devilesk; thats pretty awesome!
Wait.. only 2 towns, a temple, a beach, and some forests?
Is this 64x64 or 128x128? Or is the map even square terrain?
So far, that's all I intend to have. This is not final in any way, just what I've been able to conjure up so far. Oh, and you are guys doing alot of spamming. Either ask me a question, or give me some help. Just saying "the easiest part for me is" or "wow, that is some really nice terrain" isn't helping my map alot.
I'll do it.
PM me and we can work something out.
