This is gonna be a free-roaming RPG with an optional story line, meaning that if you dont feel like playing a story line you do not have to do those quests, but there will still be quests that dont mix with the ain story line
I still require a name for the RPG, and I haven't yet finished the storyline, when I finish it, I will post it.
]There will be many items and potions, haven't decided how many yet, but they will be well balanced. Extensive testing will be needed.
I will be needing help with a few things when I get to them, i will post up here for help.
If anyone has any suggestions for items, armors, weapons, monsters, cities, areas, quests, or much anything you can think of, please post it and it will be considered.

Hmm not bad. Will this be a multiplayer map (just concerned with filesize due to sounds)?

For armor, I once had an idea to use critters as pieces of armor rather than having the player switch units based on whether or not the unit is armored. Maybe you could go with that idea? Basically when the unit is armored, it becomes invincible and a critter is created by it as its armor. The critter always moves to the hero's location so it will be attacked instead of the player's hero.

Did you just combine random syllables to make the names? Think about following some basic patterns, like the -us suffix for male and -a for female. Also, Healer isn't a gender.

How long have you been mapping?

Sorry about the typo with the gender, and I've been a mapper for a couple years, but never done something as big as an rpg. All of my maps was released in the us-west server sometime during the year 2002, and i helped quiet a few people i knew making maps, so i never released many maps. And i stopped playing starcraft for a little over a year, so most or all of my maps have been lost, i no longer have them because they were on a different computer. But know that i think about it, the names seem alittle random, they didn't at the time i wrote, them, prolly because i was a little tired. but i will be changing them shortly, and a spell list for each character is almost done. In order to save locations, im useing the same main spells for each type of character, like the healers/mages share the same spells, except they still have their own unique ones. I might cut back on the amount of enterable houses, for the locations, but only if i need more locations. The music version will be a lan version, and there will be a no music, or less music b-net version.

only a couple days, and your going into somthing so big? WEll good job.. I'm never able to finish an Rpg. I made a couple and quit.. They are really awsome when you finish them . Anyways your map sounds fun man. I would hope you make your terrain look nice man. I see you have your story down which is good and good luck with it. try to add a creative edge or maybe some ncie terrain. Show me some screenshots when you get the chance man. Well good luck and it sounds good.

What are some maps you have done?

Our database has a huge RPG section, check it out for ideas if you need. Or just post questions here, there are tons of people like me with little else to do but provide assistance!

yea same goes for me . I would love to help out. I'm good with Rpg triggers.

Sure you are.......lol jk. Anyways this does sound pretty interesting to me, because it's got that Medieval/Fantasy style to it! Screenshots are needed!!! lol Good luck with your map man, oh and have fun while your making it! Map making is always fun and you need to keep your interest in your map or you will never finish it. Any help you need I will be willing to help you.

I got the names changed in the first post, and if you'd like to know, many of the first names are latin, and the last names are a mixture between english and europeon. One name inparticular is a hint at the characters life. Just got most of the ideas mapped out and put into an order, beginning with the character backstories, and finishing the storyline. Hopeing to get the storyline and backstories finished in a couple days time, at which time i will post the backstories, and a small sample of the storyline. Thanks for taking some interest in my project.

This sounds nice.. BUt it sounds alot about my starwars map ^_^ but thats aright!! GOOD LUCK!
