[center]~Characters~[/center]
Clara = Sarah Kerrigan Ghost
The main character in this story. For most of her life, she had to live alone. Her mom was killed because she was accused of being a witch. And her father had left for war but he never returned. She once fell in love, with a man named Tomas. But he too had also abandoned her. She had to do whatever she could to make money to survive. She's now fully grown and ready for war. She sets out on a journey to find her father. Her emotions will guide her toward her destination. And she may run into some old friends.

Tomas = Fenix Zealot
A true warrior. He fights for what he believes in and stands up for his rights. His father was executed publicly because of theift of his King's items. His mother could not support her child, Tomas. She had often thought of commiting suicide. But as Tomas grew up, he fell in love with a lady named Clara. But he had to leave her for his future. His mother sent him off to another castle, to make a living and get a better life. He became trained in the skill of Knighthood. But soon, his mother may never see the light of day again.

Edward = Tassadar High Templar
This man is full of mysteries. All his life he has been tortured, and lived in pain. He never got to see his parents due to the fact they ran away without him. And his guardian was a tourmentor. He never understood his purpose. He likes to be a loner. As he grew older, he managed to escape with a couple pounds of gold to support him for a while. One day, he passed through a castle where they let him settle in and where he trained to become a mage. His power in wizardry grew stronger each day. Now he sets off to find his parents.

[center]~Spells and Skills~[/center]
Each character has two spells which are casted randomly. They grow stronger with each level.
Clara's spells and skills
Frost Orb
- A spell with freezes the enemies around her for an amount of time. Increases time length per level.
Purity
- Mind controls enemies near her. Increases amount of enemies controlled per 13 levels.

Tomas' spells and skills
Stun
- Stuns an enemy for an amount of time. Increases time length per level.
Faith
- An aura casted to attack the enemies for an amount of time. Increases time length per level.

Edward's spells and skills
Summon
- Randomly summons one of three monsters to aid him. Increases strength of summon per 10 levels.
Repel Shield
- A shield which rapidly regenerates reducing an enormous amount of damage. Increases time length of shield per level.

[center]~The Summons~[/center]
Edward has the ability to summon three types of monsters. He may only possess one summon at a time. His possible summons are: Lurkavisk (Terran Vulture), Gulavisk (Terran Goliath) and Culvalisk (Terran Siege Tank). These summons helpful distractions and aids for Edward. The Culvalisk, however, is probably the best of the summons. You are able to sacrifice him using Siege Mode to heal Edward. Although you are able to use Siege Mode as an attack, it serverly weakens him, in attack damage, thus rendering him useless in Siege Mode unless its for healing purposes. To heal, you must Siege Mode him and stand by him. After a random amount of time, he will be sacrificed for health.

[center]~The Randomness~[/center]
Each spell is randomly casted with a 1 in 16 chance of casting. Edward's "Summon" spell, however, has 3 in 32 chance of casting.

[center]~Towns~[/center]
There are different types of towns.
- Village
- Town
- City
- Citadel
- Captial

Each one only has a certain amount of resources, like upgrades, shop, etc. They all of an Inn. Villages only have Inns. Towns will have 2 rescources and an Inn. Cities will have 3 rescources and an Inn. Citadels will have 4 rescoures and an Inn. And Capitials will have all rescources including an Inn.

The available resources are:
- Mercenary Camps
- Fletcher (Terran Upgrade)
- Blacksmith (Protoss Upgrade)
- Tent Shop
- Ether Shop
- Shrine (Summon Upgrade)
- Temple (Faith Upgrade)

Also, Mercenary Camps, Shrines and Temples can also be found in the middle of nowhere.

[center]~Options~[/center]
There are things you can buy. Mana potions, which will be used randomly. Tents and more. Tents are for healing if you are far from town. There are spots you can use, which will be marked with cloaked beacons, to heal up. You can hire mercenaries. Each town will have different options.

[center]~Other~[/center]
There is a max of 99 levels. You make money by killing, leveling up, doing jobs,
or accepting bounties. As you play along the story can change. You will never know what happens. Your character's goal maybe accomplished or it may not be. The life and thoughts of your character will change. there is a thin line between good and evil. You can choose which path to take. You can decide of betrayal is nessecary. This map is also 100% clean, meaning you don't have to move your screen around alot. You can mostly just focus on your character.

Anyway, it looks awesome!
Except I think you should have a better chance of casting spells.

Sounds great, but hopefully it actually gets finished since I have heard people talk about great RPGs a lot but they never seem to get done. (Or at least the ones I've seen don't seem to)

The chance was originally 1:16. But it was found to cast spells to fast. So the number was increased to 1:32

Huh? What do you mean by "in depth."

ADDITION: Opps.. I forgot to state what unit Edward was. dry.gif Edward is Tassadar High Templar.

Yeah, there should be more spells. Think hard and you can do it! Also, just so you don't get it wrong in your map, you spelled "mercenary" wrong.

For converting the screenshots

Don't use IrfanView, it sucks. just google Easy Graphic Converter, that one doesnt produce glare when it changes PCX to JPG or PNG.

I just gave Hynk the updated map, with 110% more terrain, more then doubling the original amount on the first update. Worked about 2-3 hours on the 2nd part. As always, I keep wasting time experementing with tiles that will never work, and sqeezing out new custom doodads that no one has ever seen before. Like my new... Jungle Mushroom! Hehehe, msg me if you haven't seen it yet!

I don't think I will be leaving hynk and having the map die... we might change map name... some spells, events, storyline info as we progress, but I am going to go on vacation soon and when I do, it will be fore over a week and 2 weekends... coming up soon to Maine in the USA.

Major Terrain Influences : Rantent with his "everything is blendable" moral... Bonelesskid with his "that kinda looks kool" (and it turns out shwingly awsome) moral... and Ghost- (previous student of terrain making) and his ideas for original doodad's and terrain research improovements.

I look forward to completing this map, and am surprized how active hynk is with this thread, and I hope it stays at the top, as the most active in map productions throughout the next few weeks of construction.

And please support me against Wilhelm in the Terrain forums, I think his arogent grip on the forum, should be stoped.
