Honourless Rpg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Defenitely one of the finer old-school rpg maps. This map actually has character development, party systems, and battle styles. There is also plenty of storyline to go around, it starts off very vivid and gets you hooked right away. And the world you are allowed to explore is VERY BROAD, and there's plenty of mystery and question to keep your tongue hanging out of your mouth. This map gave me a revitalized feeling for rpgs, if only there were more like this.

My Personal Rating:
When the game started it looked as if it was a nooby map maker trying to do something big, do to the lack of color and correct speeding. But i soon discovered that was not the issue, the creator had avoided things such as that so that the player could be more intrested in story and gameplay. The way you explore your world and discover how to do things makes the game VERY INTRIUGING. Also there is a food system, i guessed that when you run out of energy(gas) you would collapse and lose from exhaustion. Aparently food was used to add to your energy(gas) and allow you to travel more efficiently.

The game also has a large cache of quests, the first most exciting one would be meeting your second party member, Silvanes a thief. He's defenitely very helpful and quite strong. This is when you start to work as a party whether then an adventurer. Other quests include things like hunting a witch, recovering an amulet, and thus forth(I DIED ON A MISSION TO SECURE THE COASTLINE ). The quests very well support the story and make things flow together nicely. I loved the quest system.

Oh yes, this game also has a great cache of music. The opening cutscene has outstanding climax music. And some of it loops throughout the entire game, setting an adventurous theme. Great use of music.

What rating do i give the map in numbers? Here's my personal rating.

Trigger Complexity: None, but they were used to their absolute fullest!
8/10 for showing us how great simple trigger systems can make a map.

Terrain: It was ok, simple doodads and tilesets used, but there were areas that gave a very distinctive aura and feel. Good enough I say.
6/10

Storyline: In my eyes, the story follow-through in this rpg was perfect. A great example.
10/10

Fighting: The fighting is ok, better used then in those rpgs with 1 hit kills, or 9999 hp. He utilized each character with distinctive goods and bads, so some people are good at defending, others good for attacking. The fighting did enough for me in this rpg, nothing flashy or advanced.
7/10

Character Development: Loved how the characters each had their own distinctive personalities and goals. It was fun unfolding the story in cutscene after cutscene. Even their modes of fighting made an impression on you about how the characters are. This is what mainly did it for amazement for me on this map.
10/10

There are a few special things in this rpg that i don't want to reveal, but i will add them as additional rating points.

Overall this map averages out to a rating of: 9/10

And that's darkblade's review on Honourless Rpg
Play the map, enjoy it, come back and review it!

The only thing I didn't like about this map was the incredibly long beginning, and after that I got killed by two Knights because I went into a woman's house.
I gave up right there out of boredom, but I can tell you this: The way you put it, it sounds like an awesome RPG. If I have the time, I might comeback and play it.

Why would you reccomend it if its in the Map Spotlight? It obviously needs no further reccomendation if it got into that.

Nothing stays in map spotlight forever .
And i felt like this rpg is 10x better then more then half the rpg's on this site and b.net put together. In my opinion anyway.

uh how do u get in the capital? wheres the pass?

go up from starting town. Then head north and then when you can go east... You will find the theif there in the town. The mayor is the dragoon at the barracks at the top of the town

You can't really... kill... the theif, you're too weak... I had to run...

lol can anyone give me the sound wav to the map? its really cool

Hey RuFF I can give it to you, but it won't be in .wav though, it will be in Media.

*File Attachment Removed

Nevermind about the Media I guess its already a .wav

Yo this map is pritty good. See i love Rpg's. This 1 was acualy kinda good. I love to see some original story lines and triggers. I didn't finish it but i'm sure i will come aroud it finishing it. Anyways. I think all the grades that were doen for this map are accurate. I think that it was nice and good luck with your next map.

Did you download that yet RuFF?

I don't like RPGs where you spend forever building up and doing all that crap, then you make one mistake, and it's all over! Actually, I hate any game where this happens!

I would have to Agree.. I like games like.. Special Forces or temple Rpg. I didn't really see this map yet. Neiji also can you show me your Rpg?

Blizzard put in a neat little feature called Save

Blizzard also put in a neat little feature called the Starcraft Campaign Editor...
Jk, it's fine how it is, but a lil too... ... save-relying for me...


HAAAEL NO!... wait... wuts ur B.Net sn? Oo.Snipe.oO?

You see Kingra, the "woman" was actually the old woman they talked about at the beginning; you know, "the woman that was unable to pay her tax". That woman was jailed, so when you barged past the guards, they attacked you.

Heh you should've outran the guards though The teal units attack them, so you can kill them. After they get killed, the woman thanks the you AND the archer for saving her, and the archer replies back. Really Kingra, you don't have to enter the jail cell at all; it's more of an optional "quest" per say. Oh, and if you don't like surprises, watch out for that ambush north of town; i suggest you flee half way in the battle to get healed by the priest (search for teal wovles and you'll find him).

What, you can't keep your heros from dieing? It's not THAT hard.. well.. besides the fact that i've gotten the main character down to 1hp and a side hero down to 2hp.. and another to 3hp.. but BESIDES that.. yeah it's quite easy. Right now I have a party of 5 heros and two knights which are basically bodyguards.
The only reason you need save is because the game is so long. I wouldn't be here typing this right now if I didn't save; it's 11:52pm so i need to go to bed
Ironically, i've already seen about 1/3 of the map, yet the surprises keep coming!

And tndf, how could you fail on the beachheads? Use your wits for the largest tent area.

cool map, i like it.

Where can I DL this map?

It's in the Map Spotlight when you first enter this site in the top left of the screen with two other maps.

If you read my first post, you can click any combination of words that says
Honourless Rpg. They serve as links. So basically just click the word
Honourless Rpg.

a fun and very Uber map

Its quite cool, I especially liked the incorporation of normal starcraft sounds into it, they allowed it to remain a decent size while still having fitting sound effects. The food system was interesting, if rarely needed, as food was so liberally strewn throughout the map.

Finally after 2 hours of gamplay, I finished it.

The only disappointing part for me is the ending, it lacks something.

anyway, the storyline is great.
