You might want to turn the grid off before you screenshot, Forsaken.
The map looks awesome so far, but the small story parts I rewrote for you. I'm pretty good with that kind of thing.
They say the power behind human emotion is experiential, that only those who have felt it can comprehed it enormous power.The power of love can subdue the mind, body, and the soul. This force of emotion controls people into reckless deeds and sometimes misguided violence.Those who have felt true love, however, tell of its bliss, worth the horrors of its hands. Hate is an equally strong emotion. Betrayal will destroy any love you held in your soul, and twist its power into something horrible. The lust for revenge, pure hate and malice, would set in, and you would turn into a merciless scourge, one whio thinks only to damage.
Many philosophers believe that our emotions are our gift and our curse. Emotions grant us great power, the power to love, a power of comapssion and benevolence.But they also grant us power to do horrible, cruel, sadistic deeds. If your love was naught but a fallacy, would you let the hate consume you?
I am ready to leave. My time in Aetis has more than destroyed my soul. This despicable haven which I have called home will not be so any more. I would seek my fortune in another place.
I crept into my parents room, and with great alacrity moved past my despicable father and moved closer to my mother, and gently kissed her forehead. As I left the room I looked at my father in disgust. Just the presence of him made me insane with rage. Before I closed the door, I peered through dark room and took one last look at my mother. I began to silently cry to myself, for I would never see her again. My mother did not know that I wanted to leave, and she would soon find out that I was gone. My mothers reaction will not be pleasant, her despair shall shal stab at me like a thousand flaming knivesm but I must. I am her only child, and now, I am leaving. No matter how much it hurts, I must leave.
My father will be happy that I left. I know this because all he sees in me is the next thug for King Tiyrus. But, that is not what I want to be. I feel that killing even in the name of the Lord, in all sense, is morally wrong. My father would make sure that I would train every night for hours until I was unable to walk. During these sessions, he scolded me with these incessant, vehment invectives. Saying I am not good enough, that I will never amount up to him, that I am an embarrassment to the familiy's name, and that no matter what I do, I will become a low life peasant if I do not live up to the family heriatage as Royal Guards. But, I do not care about our social status. All I have ever wanted was to be able to live peacefully in the small village of Dubrylla. There is much more for me there, which is why I am leaving.
Before I left my home, I wrote my mother a letter. I did not want her to be left with nothing to remember me by.
Dear Mother,
I am sorry I am doing this, but there is nothing left for me here in Aetis. Father will bring me to the ground if I stay here any longer. For I do not want to be a knight in the Legion, or a guard in the Palace, that is not where my heart is. My heart is elsewhere. I do not want anything to come between my passions, which is why I am leaving. I wish that there was some other way, but if I remain in Aetis any longer, my sould will shatter, and i will be no more than a husk of my true self. Mother, there is nothing that will change that. You will never see me again, and I apologize, for I am going to another place. A place where I can be free of father's torment.
Love, your son,
Artemis
P.S. Please be strong, mother. I will always love you. Goodbye.
I gently slipped the letter underneath my mother's pillow as she laid silently on her bed. I could hear my father's loud, raspy breathing. Every breath I found myself clenching my teeth. I do not know why I loathe my father so much. But, I will never worry about the burden of giving in to his expectations any longer. The thought of me being free was exhilirating. I was smiling for the first time in months. My dream was slowly unwinding before my eyes.
As I walk away from my home, my heart tells me to turn around just one more time. But I know if I even take just a small glimpse, I will never leave this desolate place. So, I began my journey. As I made my way out of the village. the ground became unfamiliar, only because I have never left Aetis. I knew I shouldn't turn around. But I could not help myself. My heart took over me and that was when I made the last glimpse at the forsaken village. My heart wept, I knew I would never lay eyes on this place ever again.
By the time I reached the docks to leave, it was early morning. I had walked all through the night. When I had made it to the docks the ship was starting to slowly move away from the dock. I began to sprint as fast I could. My lungs were burning with every breath I took. As I was running, I saw my chance to board the ship.
There was another dock that was maent for smaller boats. The harder I ran, the more I wanted to just buckle over and quit. But, I knew, that I had to make it to the ship. I jumped off the edge of the dock, and barely made it onto the side of the ship. I held the railing on the side of the boat as tight as I could. I felt my grip loosening, as I my fingers began to slip I closed my eyes expecting myself to be sucked under the massive ship.
My hands all of the sudden came off the side of the ship, I closed my eyes expecting to hit the water with enough force to kill me. I waited. Nothing came, no splash, no sound. I open my eyes to see what happened. Before I was able to figure out what happened, I felt my body get lifted up, and to my surprise, someone had grabbed my wrist and was pulling me up. As the man hoisted me over the railing, I felt my face turn red. I had a childish smirk across my face. I haven't had one of these since I was just a child. I thanked the man who saved me, I felt as if I wasn't good enough to be in his presence. "The name is Sonis". I replied with my name and thanked him for saving me.
For the rest of the trip to Dubrylla, we talked nonstop. All time was lost, we were talking as if we were brother's. It was amazing. Just before the boat came to a stop in the Harbour of Dubrylla, I asked Sonis if he was a millitant. "Yes, I am as a matter of fact. I am an Archer. My father was a Guard for King Tiryus! But, I do not want to let my father down. I am heading for Coniver, which is where my father learned everything he knows about Archery. I am still kind of nervous, because, I do not want to let him down." I explined to him my dilema, and for some reason, it seemed as if he knew exactly where I was coming from. "You know... this is funny. I have never told anyone this. I also do not want to fight in the name of the Lord. I would much rather live a peaceful life, have a family, and die in my sleep." I was astonished. I had met a true friend today, but, I may never see him again. So, I tried not to attach myself to him. I wanted to treat, it as if he was just some other stranger in life.
We said our goodbye's and that was it. I walked off the ship and I walked towards the Inn to get some rest. That was when a local boy came running up to me. He asked if I was Artemis. To my amazement, he knew exactly who I was. He handed me a small letter, "I am very sorry mister, if you would like, my parents said you can stay at the Inn tonight for free!" I had no idea what he was talking about. As he guided me to the Inn, I noticed part of the letter was burnt and had a small drop of blood on the upper right hand corner, I ignored it and began reading:
Dear Mother,
I am sorry I am doing this, but you see, there is nothing left for me----
I stopped reading in horror. I fell to my knees, I did not know what to do. I knew exactly what had happened. "Mister, my sister is here to help you!" I didn't care. No matter who she was, I would never feel better. My mother was dead. "Sir, please come with me, my parent's will care for you. Aetis was attacked. Please, just come with me." I laid on the ground, motionless. I did not want to move, but, I had no choice. Laying on the ground wasn't going to do anything. I look up at the girl, and before I couldn't say a word. For the first time in my life, I was speechless. "Please, grab my hand, I'll take you to the Inn!" I slowly stood up, and grabbed her hand. She was beautiful. I had almost completely forgotten about my mother.
And, this is where the game starts!

Well, I have been busy at work for the last few days, so here is another update:
• Market is finished.
• Armory is almost finished.
• Black Smith will be finished today, as well as the Bazaar.
•••Rather cool update•••
○Sword system started.
Explanation:
After 'x' amount of kills of the enemy will have to sharpen your sword. So, be sure to always have a sharpener with you. Once you run out of sharpness, I will replace your hero autmatically with a civillian. Why? Well, you can't fight with a dull sword. Don't worry, the civillian has 10,000 life. So, you may not die. But, be sure to always pay attention to your swords edge...
@Wooden, no more screenies for now. I will try and get a demo out soon. Yes, it will be protected. Why? To save things for later... That's why.

10,000 life little to much i think if the person was so stupid enough to not sharpen there sword they should just be like a weak normal civilian or something
i donno 10,000 life can get you anywhere??
well i havent seen the rpg itself and dmg and stuff so i dont know but ithink its a lot of life
it make it seem like sharpening sword doesnt always matter or something.

I need some help.
I have quite a few items in my RPG. Which is kind of a problem. Why? Because a dropship can only hold 8 small units. So, I have a couple of ideas that I am going to run by everyone. What you think is best, please let me know. I do not want to do something that is over complicated or just not very effiecient.
Well here goes:
First off:
I was going to have a dropship with 2 big units or 4 smaller units. Each of the units will represent something. Such as:
Drophip with 2 Big Units:
Use Item
or
Use Spell
Once you click on the correct unit, it will take you into a submenu that you will use the gateway for. So, if you decided to use an item, it will come up with 2 more options:
Z = Use a Healing Item
D = Use Other Item
Then once you click on the appropiate unit, you again will be taken into another menu. If you get what I am saying it will be the same for the other one.
If I use the dropship with 4 smaller units it will be more defined. Asin, Use Healing Item, Use Healing Spell, Use Random Item, Use Random Spell, etc...
If you have any other ideas, comments, or questions, that wold be great.
As of now, I am fixing the minor bugs with the shops. Then I will be well on my way with the other parts of the engine.
