I did try it. Sounds were pretty good. Spells were pretty unique. But, I saw really no special effects.

Other than that, (Dunno the storyline, good spells, good sounds, I guess balancing is good) I can't really find something unique.

Sry if I'm in a bad mood but this has been like a REALLY BAD DAY for me. I wanna play something besides the usual combat Starcraft made for us and watching the Dark Templar's blades slash 1000 times. It's not that I hate hack and slash RPGs, but it's just that I got really really sick of 'em. You can just slap some good balancing, some names, a unique name, some upgrades and minerals for each enemy u kill, slap some random units on map, put a storyline and it'll be an "RPG"...

I'll play it on a better day cuz I was REALLY mad today and I just rushed through the map...

At least you tried the map....but can you try finishing it? or reading the cutscenes text?(yes reading can be annoying, but fun). I very much doubt this is a hack and slash rpg... there might be some slashing but no hacking(being sarcastic).
But if this is how you feel about the map that's ok i guess i cant really tell you to research the map with better insight. But just so you know you're the first person i've ever seen say something like dark templars slash 100 times... did you try the other characters at least? I'm just confused to how u said that this rpg has no story..... it's confusing to me
Well im done hope you one day make or find an rpg with your specifications.

P.S. Keep working on the map shadow it's looking great.

Zelda is an RPG/Action Adventure...
Any game where you take the role of another person is
classified as an RPG...

I dont usnderstand how this RPG has no story line? Its an amazing story
and I need to see it finished... I cant play with more people than just me because this comp is laggy issues REALLY BAD

Hehe, agreed. The map owns. I know I sound like a damn broken record but hey, when you have people(*cough NEIJI cough*) who judge is falsely it kinda messes things up. I gues it is the "person's" opinion, but still I htink it is wrong. The storyline is VERY unique, the characters ARE cool, it is only a hack 'n slash in the sense that u fight lots of lings, otherwise it isn't. I mean look at the boss fight(OH YES THE BOSS FIGHT ) it has VERY unique battle system. Unless you can name an RPG where you fight minerals instead of units? HAH. It is unique and it FRIGGIN owns. Keep it up Shadow.

I said I didn't pay attention to the storyline. I said the spells were really good, but I never got in depth with the storyline, and storyline is like the most important thing in an RPG for me. I'll try it again, but I'll try to get to the boss. I always can't get past the gate. And, I don't judge falsely. Can you play with me in B.Net? I want to get to the boss. My name is aE[Neiji] and I really wanna get to know this RPG if you say that it's this good. Maybe it's cuz I played single player that this looked kinda looked like Deleas' Corruption on Ice ?

Read this Neiji

Clear and simple enough?

Do you get mad if I don't say it was perfect? I just said it was good, geez. I didn't cheat either.

I love that intro, and the music really goes with the map...if you need any testers PM me ill be happy too help.

IF you just wanna screw over single player gamers from cheating, then why don't you just make the trigger system to make it defeat when you play one player?

you mean like Legacy of Haean? How about increase the difficulty or something and always set minerals to what ur level is. I don't know about Power Overwhelming...

Legacy of Haean(mispelled that) was cheap because players could leave game later, but you will still lose. I have a Better idea for your map shadow.

When game begins, if non main hero players are in the game, you can set switches or deathcounts saying they are in the game. Now if these switches arnt set you can end game in defeat by having a few conditions not met. for instance...
1)Beginning of game, player 2 commands at least 1 any unit(in your case i believe a spider mine spefically)-set death counts of "Any unit you want" to 1 for player 2.
2)then during ur intro u can set a switch to end game if player 2 and 3 both do not have any of these death counts(or switches if u choose) set.
If this seems confusing tell me, i will show u an experimental map.

Addition: Yay, this map has made 5 pages of thread post

One thing is that I never even planned on making this map for single player and it's meant only for multiplayer with 2-3 players...So playing single player won't even matter whos cheating cause not all the triggers will work for single player. But I guess I could add in some triggers to prevent people from playing single player mode if that helps.

I played this map with friends now, and I am kinda impressed at the storytelling... Well, the presentation. I never got past the first boss cuz my friend died, and aE[Fortune] was away. I wouldn't call that really a boss tho. You kinda jus thave to wait, use lurker, wait, use lurker. That was it for me tho. Maybe make it so you always have to move? Well, the map was good, but ur friends r kinda annoying me, shadowlash. I say one thing wrong and they go crazy... Well, gl with this map!

They've found a great way to prevent single player in a non-lan and battle.net game. I'm gonna have to get to the first boss...>_>

I only say disable any playability in single player, because people could cheat and see all your units and terrain, and that can ruin later gameplay.

To Neiji(might of mispelled that):From reviewing earlier posts it looks like you're talking about (DB)Baal, indecisiveman(also mispelled ), and myself Moi .
No one was being rude to you, your post was just unexpected so some people thought you should retry it, if anything people tried to find out what it was you didnt like about the storyline so feedback could be recorded in the thread. So don't take it so hasrhly we are trying to find knicks and nacks in the map to help it come along better .

P.S. Shadow how is the prequel to this map going?-Tales of Acryns-

Well there is one thing I added ever since I started making this map. One of them was an anti-maphack. I know you guys already know about how to do an anti-maphack thing but I can use the ways for the map being unable to be played in single player mode on the methods you guys suggested. Since map is only for one player anyway...I can put like if theres only one human player in the game then it game over before the intro even starts. I can disable that too if that works for personal testing.

As for my prequel, I don't have the map anymore I started a while back...Anyway though I could restart a new one or I can redownload that from a friend but transfer the triggers over with more better stuff. But I will work on Shadowlion more than that.

Also one more thing is that I might be added a few twists in the map...I am thinking of putting in dungeons with sort of like puzzles and logic thinking to get to another place. And also maybe some special battle systems...Just some ides being cooked up and maybe put into action.

Hmm, Alot of replies since my last post, But evrey one seems to have alot of ideas and compliments on the map so far, So I hope it comes out soon

OMG THIS THREAD ALMOST REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE

Geez that was close....
Anyways i wanted to know how the map is being produced, what's new and what's being done? I am also concerned about people being sidetracked with other things and getting their maps on the roll and progressed with(*cough shadow cough*).
But basically i just wanted an update reply please

P.S. Geez that was close, it was one post away from the....2ND PAGE

Yea, I am kind of getting side tracked but for one thing I am still working on the map. I have already updated and added stuff, but there are still a lot of planned updates.
Stuff already updated are:
-Added 2 more level for each character
-created more dungeon/terrain paths
Planned updates:
-missions from tavern
-new skills
-more of the storyline/diagloue

More updates will come and I will post the ones that are interesting. But I wouldn't really want to make these posts an update log...

My map is more updated now...After I update more storyline and other major thing I will probably need help testing it all out. But here is some stuff, After the boss I will put a level skip after the first boss, starting out with a few healing potions. I can only allow a few number of people to help me test(since only 3 slots). Come to channel Op PDF@Uswest to ask to test, but it'll take some time in between to constantly test so be patient.

Sup Shadow. Long time no...test! Well anyways, I have been offline because you have been playing Diablo. Anyways, I am always here to test. I still need to play that upgraded demo so let me dl it here . Ever need any help just tell me and I will come running! Good luck, Dark help him stay on track

Shadow how is this map going? Have you abandoned it without telling us? Or have you just been busy? I was shocked to find this thread all the way on the 3rd Page! .

Please tell me you're still working on this cuz that would be awesome .

P.S. Heard your comp got messed up again, .

Yea I'm had some technical difficulties with my computer and had to delete all my stuff again. I would still be working on my map if I had an unprotected and updated version of my map. If I can't get an unprotected version of my map, I might have to resort to going through the long way and it will take a while to get it back up to date.
There are still some stuff I want to ask.
Have people ever finished the demo to the end besides the people I tested with? Or if you at least played the map, give me some feedback or suggestions.

I played the map and it was amaizing... Easily one of the better RPG that I've played... It was right up there with LoH and HoTh...

Im sad to hear that you lost your map... I suggest you retry and such because it was amazing

BTW: I never finished it because I only had 1 person and the door didnt open...

Just a few typos I noticed, not sure if you picked up on them.
*Sorry if my descriptions are vague

- In the opening when Cylrin and the Warriors are talking he is called Cyrin

- After you save the Acryn he says he must go to the Ancryn Temple (Not sure if that was what you wanted to have or not, but I took it as a typo of Acryn)

The beginning is really not that hard, for the mass attack of lings you just run past them and hide in a corner the kill the small group which follows you then lure them off 1 by 1 and for the saving of the Acryn get the zealot to run in a lure the Yellow lings away and gang up on them while the Acryn finishes them off.

Great map keep up the good work!
