Basicly the prologue which my RPG will continue.
Lunar Sands, where the stars are bright and the moon shines with brilliant light, rivaling even the glare of the red giant Sun. The ground starts to shake rapidly, as dark whorls of unholy energy pierces the atmosphere of Kirising slowly. Meteors crash around three figures; as they stare into the sky, Sheeba can see the figure on the moon and the black light around it.
Sheeba: Daramos...he is gathering energy to destroy Kirising!
Celius: Yes. He must be stopped.
Thredes: But...how? We cannot face him. He is too powerful.
Sheeba: There has to be some way...
Celius: But there is a lot of time left before Kirising is taken. We have time...
Thredes: I got it! There is a way to stop him. I believe there is an instrument that can play with time, and if we are fast, we can obtain it and use it to gather what we need to stop Daramos!
Sheeba: You're right, Thredes.But it would take days and even months to do it, what we don't have. And how would we be able to have the skills and wisdom to pass the mighty tests that we must pass to get to it?
Celius: We'll do alright. Have faith, Sheeba.
Thredes: It is better to die fighting the evil you know then to stay paralyzed by the dangers you dont know, and know as you are overwhelmed that your world will be consumed.
Suddenly, a meteor came forth from the sky, large and heavy, of a kind that could kill them
"Look out!" Thredes shouted as all three of them dive out of the way of the falling stone.
Celius: Lets get out of here!
But another surprise came. Four of Daramos's soldiers appeared in front of them.
Soldier #1: Who are you to be here? Trying to interupt with the Dark Lord's plans? I think not!
A soldier from behind threw an energy bomb that transformed into a net of energy, capturing the three.
Sheeba: No...
Soldier #3: Yes! You're coming with us.
Another soldier smacks them in the head to knock them unconscious for the time being...

- Money
General Money system. Your minerals are how much money you have. And the currency in the game is something easy to remember: Coins!
- Team Take-Turn Battles
Basicly you will obviously have a party of three if you read the storyline. I chose take-turn battles to make it more interesting and because we have three main characters here.
- Team Magic Points
TMP for short. Unlike other RPGs, your entire party will have a set amount of TMP that increases as you level! Your ore is your TMP.
- Interactive Playing
You will be able to talke to townspeople, walk into SOME houses, and cast spells and use items you have obtained to unlock more of the plot and even access side quests!
- Random Battles
I'm gonna try and create a system so when you walk around you have a chance to encounter an enemy. If I find one already made, I'll say so immediately.
- Leveling
An essential element in RPGs. The usual leaderboard system, no thing special here.
- Items
Dropship system with 8 general items. "Special Items" are kept in a different place. I'll post more about the items when I create them.
- Spells
Cool. I'm limiting each character to five spells. When you obtain new spells, you will have to replace old ones. Some spells and be used both outside and inside a battle, some only inbattle, so choose wisely, and make many saves! I saw how Killer did a Save reminder kind of thing in his FF map, and I might use that. I'm not the kind of guy who wants to spend forever on just one system.

I added a quick item system summary which I forgot to do.
Also, I'll do the items right now. The Special Items will be kept a secret until I release this map.
Also, I'll say that I'll do a way to exchange items from one character to another, because 3 characters means 3 different Dropships!
I will also mention a character status system later on.

The cost of the items is still pending. Thanks to everyone who supports my project!

There has beenrandom battles... Make a small location about 2x2 around a party unit or whatever your using. Whenever the unit leaves that locatin have about 3 switches randomized then have the combinations blank and have 2 for different units and such... Its fairly easy to make.

Thanks OddAngel, that might work. I guess I'll have to try it out. 
And I might make a multiplayer version, but for now it's going to be 1 player. Multiplayer would require 3 people and I think a lot of people prefer solo. :\ Well, that's just what I think.
And when I started the dropship inventory testing I saw I needed smaller units so I switched them around. Silly me! I'm using Drone, Probe, SCV, Dark Templar, and four other units that are useless to me and can fit into a dropship.
Also, I'll mention a spell system that will require you to think.

Well so far my map's going well.

I got my first picture up. Look at the screenshots section. If you want, I can redesign it, qPirateking style.

I have been a bit lazy this weekend, so I hurried myself to finish the item system and battle system today. HOPEFULLY I will finish the battle system.
And now for a...
BIG UPDATE!
- Firstly, I'd like to say I am making a system to let you switch between the three characters. All three will still show up to battle in a battle, but each character has several spells that can be cast outside a battle. I am making a different area for important spells
. The main reason for this is for character interaction. i.e. A villager will say something if he sees Sheeba, but the response is entirely different if he sees Thredes.
- I'm finishing up the item system and moving onto the battle system. Almost done.
- With that said, I am thinking about limitting how many items you can hold. I know, it's horrible.
- I found out I had a somewhat limited amount of units for the special items, but I seem to have enough.
- I see no point in this but I'll be using a chest system that limits me to only one location. Usually that means only one chest per dungeon, but you can live with that, right? I am very afraid of running out of triggers, that's why I only have one location. It works pretty good when I tested it.
- I am finishing up the prison scenario.
I'll get you guys a new in-game screenshot later when I'm not as lazy.

For the chests, make a big location around "dungeon" and put a burrowed defiler and lurker near the chest. When a player brings their unit to defiler or lurker, you get an item.

You gave me an idea on how to do more than one chest per dungeon. I counted up all the units that could burrow, 9. If I did what you said, I could have up to 9 chests in my dungeon. And if I used cloaked units for this or cloaked air units I could have a ton of chests! I figured out the triggers for it, too.
There must be only one of the burrowed unit in the dungeon. Since I'm doing random battles, that's no problem. A location will always be centered on you. If your location has a, for example, a lurker, in it, you will get the item and the chest next to the lurker will be removed permenantly from the map.
Thanks! And what I explained above is just what you said except more detailed.

You could have treasure chests spit out some kind of traps. Like a random chest could make the player with Plauge, or Ensnare, or have an enemy lurker invinceable and make it in there for enough time to attack once, to have a spike trap in the chest. Just some ideas.

It sounds like your limiting a lot of stuff. I can help you with the triggers so you don't have to limit so many things. You can have infinite chests as long as you preplace them.There must be only one of the burrowed unit in the dungeon. Since I'm doing random battles, that's no problem.

You take one type of burrowed unit for under the chest, then you have the triggers look like this.
Conditons: If there is exactly 1 unit burrowed under the chest
Actions: Chest 1 actions
Conditions: If there are exactly 2 units burrowed under the chest
Actions: Chest 2 actions
Continue the pattern...

Oh, and I didn't think of that before? >_<
Thanks for the help, and no thanks to the offer you made, because I want to do this solo.
It isn't likely there will be more then 3 chests per dungeon, 10 chests in one dungeon seems like over doing it, including the Mimics.

I'm just saying I'm good at coming up with stuff like that. So if you publicly post the things your going to limit, I'll probably say that there is a way to ignore that limit. I have a firm belief that anything is possible in starcraft maps. And this map confims that belief.
