Character's Stories, aims

Volstag

About 100 years ago, Azilla was sieged by the evil lich keeper Marconius. One such village to experience carnage was Hexter. Marconius had successfully controlled the country of Azilla with the help of his three keepers, namely Sigmund, Faust and Tiberia and the army of orcs and the undead. It was not long before the holy city of Golgota launched a holy assault upon the lich. The crusade is leaded by Volstag and Malleus. They succeeded in entraping the three minions and the only one left is the Marconius. Malleus tried to strike him using his sword, but a terrible thing happened. The lich possessed him and turned malleus against the crusaders. Suddenly, the lich separated with Malleus and left him lying on the ground, dead perhaps. It is not long after Volstag lunged into the lich and killing it effectively. After the fight, no one know on where did volstag went. And the body of Malleus disappeared within sight. The lich is not dead, as others thought. The lich mutilated the body of maleus and preserved him, for the time will come for the second apocalypse. It's been a thousand years, Volstag senses the stench of death in Azilla and returned to Golgota. The high priest in Golgota had said something to him, it goes like this, "immortal one, i sense that you are weakening, you must stop the impending carnage or all will be lost. I know you, Volstag and I know of what you seek, the time has come to face malleus, once again"

Fabian

As the prophecy had stated, the second apocalypse will be near, the Crons, a race with the power of nature and had lingered silently in the woods. Their leader is Manchester, he who holds the power of light and the oldest of the Crons. One fateful night, as the Crons were asleep, Amaruak, Harkan's servant kidnapped manchester. The village didn't knew about it until darkness swallowed Hytria, their city. A warrior is sent to rescue Manchester, and his name is Fabian, son of Crobus and a skillful runner. He walks in four legs for he is reincarnated as a dragoon. He vowed to save Manchester with all of his powers.

Feroe
Orcs, commonly mistaken for being the warmongers of the world. But they are peaceful miners and lumberjacks. They were used as a tool of carnage by the lich a thousand years ago. They were free of the lich after the war and had lived peacefully until the second apocalypse. That is happening right now. Many of the orcs had fallen under a dark influence, unknown to them. Likuku, the chief of the orcs also fell to the dark influence. Feroe swore vengeance upon to anyone who did this.

Hey dust I like the idea that each character has its own unique storyline. That would be pretty cool to see. And also they would have to have there own boss battles like you said. Thats a cool idea. Well people need to keep you motivated on your rpg, I think it sounds good. And all the places that you can go to. Good luck on your map man.

P.S. When will you get some screenshots in from your map?

I guess i can start making my RPG tommorow, and since it's vacation, i might finish it in 1 and 1/2 month.

It goes like this. Each character has a different starting points and different ending points. But Volstag and Feroe has the same ending points. why? because their aim is quite similar. Feroe wants to kill the one who controlled his brethrens and Volstag wants to kill Malleus. Since Malleus is the one who controlled Feroe's brethren, he will kill him. Fabian has a diff ending point because his aim is to save their leader, Manchester. just making it clear. jez read the story above. cool1.gif

i dont like the unit selection idea. people wont be able to know how stong their character or what their strong/weak points are. just change is to a midcontrol method where they mindcontrol the units to select them.

The character choosing is meant to be for their storylines, they do have some slighty equivalent strengths. I will post their strengths and abilities when my RPG comes out

The story and everything sounds good but for chosing your character...
Sounds like a very bad Idea... I have to agree with everything urmom said.
Have the basic hero selection Ingame where you chose your hero
OR
Have it whatever slot you go into is your character

FYI, your map has an unnecessary 4mb music file in it. 06.wav. You're not even using it.
