Along with what the others said you could show scenes of the villages and people having conversations, and maybe even the colleseum with people fighting ect. You ought to get some forest ambience wav's or something and make like a lake type terrain and have animals (Whatever unit you plan on using for them) gathering around ect. Then you could show a cutscene of the armies being prepared and the naval ships or w/e being gathered pre-war. ::Next Scene:: In the midst of a large battle. The city is burning and people are dying everywhere. You could show the general or somebody doing somthing like a battlecry or something cool that puts you in that war mood. ::Cut Scene:: The aftermath of the war, the village is in ruins. ::Move to blank screen:: Show something that takes you away from the current happenings like "Meanwhile"..::Begin introduction of characters::

then after that the little Crescent Dyne Created By..ect.

Mercenaries:


I got bored and made it all cool colored!

Hmmmm... maybe have them auto-cast beneficial spells for you. Like if your health gets below a certain percentage they heal you. And if you have a limited inventory, allow the Mercenaries to carry some of your stuff so you can fit more loot.

Ooh! good idea voyager... Backpack systems. I am definitely doing that... Max gold, max collective potion #... Excellent. I don't know how I missed that aspect of realism...

thats good one wooden everything has that lol

maybe even a storage, but maybe its not needed dont think it is..

mmm that is gonna be so kool...a max weight carried system..so kool...

lol i think it would be pretty hard to make a "Max Weight" system. And it would probobly get confusing for the players to hear "Weight: 5lbs" and stuff. Lol for most people it'd probobly be too much math and they'd get angry and be like "OmGZ Wtfz! Why can't i carry This Shiz1!! OMgz N00b!". I like the idea of max items/gold although. You could make it like D2 and have like a bank in town to store your gold when you are maxed out.

By the way wooden, i think the boss system is coming along great. It's turning out very good. I like the way it's set up. The bosses in this map will definently be some of the most "realistic" bosses so far in map making.

Yea, you should do it so that if the weight of the backpack is too great, you have to take some items out of if there is too many items, then you have to take some out so that it is a different view. Because sometimes smaller items may way more and in reality you might not be able to hold the weight.

lol but these are suppost to be Heros. Comon, what kind of hero can't hold a few thousand lbs on his back. bush Heroes. But what really heavy items would you carry, i cant imagine a potion being that heavy, the only heavy thing would be gold but he's already putting a limit on how much gold you can carry.

Wait it was max weight wow that must be tricky.. Now to think about it the only thing im worried about this map is the number of strings…

IDEA!!!!

you shouldnt make a max weight carried...you should just set a limit and if you go over that limit make the unit move slower than the reg cause the hero is weighed down

That was the idea I had for Light, Medium, Heavy.

Every time you changed weight from these 3 classes, 1 string would be used to give a message. It would be like this...

Light : Movement non-imparred.
Medium : Movement slowed.
Heavy : Movement slowed. Random ordered hold positions. Spells, skills disabled completely.

In these three classes, which will be level upped every 11 levels to ensure gold max and item max for each is changed. So it will be divided up into levels...



These numbers are for pounds. For messurements for yourself, 16 ounces is equal to 1 pound. Potions can be anywhere from 2-8 ounces. More intensive equipment will require the bulk of the amount. Gold will be seperate and cap based on this equation...

L x 100 = Gold Cap; L = Level

For storage purposes, you may use banks. Banks can hold an infinite amount of gold and will randomly collect interest over time.

None of this is completely offical, max gold might change based on upgrade requirments and other modifications in time.



Correction... Gold will be capped based on the Light/Medium/High system where as 1 gold is equivolent to 1 ounce. This is as I see fit, more realistic where gold is the most heavy mass you have. Banks will be ready to help you store this gold infinitely and might even have events such as Bank Fire, Robbery, and Fraud which could reduce your gold or leave you with nothing at all... I think I will have this only when you have the ability to help the bank catch or provent these events from happening, thus making it more stable.

It Sounds like the First Good and Original Rpg in Along Time

sounds totally awsome man

For heavy, it shouldn't just go on infinitely in my opinion, but have something where you just can't move at all if it's heavier then the cap on heavy would be. It just wouldn't make sense otherwsie if you could hold infinite amounts and still be able to move.

yes I have and the map better than his is "A new RPG in the works" check it out... NO I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO BLEND. Although If you want to impress me make a mountain, and blend it over about 7 levels high with ramparts on the way up, if u did I would be in awe and say ur uber but w/e and I have made blends before I made a high mountain before except I had a tiny bit of blockiness so I threw it away.

Map looks good so far. This RPG better break me out sicne RPGs are supposed to do that to me. Add any secrets to it also?

PLEASE ADD SIDEQUESTS FOR THE LOVE OF OUR HIGHER BEING. NO RPG IS COMPLETE WITHOUT SIDEQUESTS!!

Devil_O_Duce where you get that quote... cant find it lol...

XD

will there be allied townz people fighting the creatures too?

Devil O Duce? Wait, are you just joking around or not? I can't tell... and where are u seeing this thread of a new rpg?

?

First off, there's no topic called "A New RPG in the works", or it's still not on the list. You might want to post the link? Second of all, since you say that terrain is better why not post a screenshot of it? And you've still never seen the map yourself so you can't critisize it.

PwNzOrZ I TOLD U THIS GUY IS BETTER THAN WOODENFIRE (Not in a flaming way)

Better Than ALL Blends

Wow, you are going to feel like a real idiot when I tell you this, but that is Woodenfire's terrain that he gave to him...

I have to say Reflektor. is doing great job on his map (hope he is…) and I am a big fan of his map but the whole start came from wooden fire as in the terrain. But I agree that, that map will be great. But I cannot say it will be as great as wooden fire’s.

Every person who plays this map their first time without a tester, wooden, or an inside man will say that.

How bout instead of jumping right into not being able to carry any mor you do something like this.
