Assault of Troy

Simulating the experience that may or may not have occured at Troy




Progress


-Ideas
75% complete i'd say, my ideas were the main setup for the map so Imight need some of you guys to help me out with it.
-
-Terrain
99%! All the terrain is done EXCEPT for a small area for special options which im just ganna make some lil ISOM boxes  happy.gif

-Unit placement
99%! This part was a major pain...but i did about all of it, alot of moving is being done to polish how the men pour in and out of areas...and 2 unplaceable ghosts I can't find ranting.gif

-Triggers
85% The triggers are pretty close to done but I put 85% because im most likely ganna add alot more triggers to this.

-Stats&Settings
90%! I might add a couple more units or change a couple stats but they are close enough to being done by now. I have to finish my upgrade settings so that knocks the percentage down abit

-Overall
90%! The map is playable and has enough features to be functionable and fun...if i had more ideas for systems to add I might be able to finish this faster



Specifactions


-Players
7 Players; 3 vs 4

-Map tileset
Jungle baby  biggrin.gif

-Map size
192x192




Storyline/Introduction


-Trojan Intro
You must defend the mighty walls of Troy from the Achean conscripts...evacuate the civilians and hold formation to the masses of enemies...flood the palace and lead the marching troops through barrages of arrows and blood....this is the "Assault of Troy"

-Achean Intro
You must attack the cities and break the lines of Trojan gaurd.....proceed to the residences and kill as many Trojan civilians as possible....sprint through the palace and murder the king on his own thrown....this is the "Assault of Troy"




Features


-Player Interface
Players send strategic assaults to break through enemy lines and asemble formations to defend from attacks. If your not very strategical you most likely won't win this map.

-What's new in your map that others have not done before?
Created a Troy that is well rounded and contains many of the elements to create a great siege and warfare map.

I always thought Troy games should have been fighting for the walls of troy to be brought down, not to kill king priam and the palace and stuff. The timer is usually associated with how long Troy has to wait Agamemnon out, yet he is clearly not going to go away if the walls of troy are already down..

But of course, do what makes the map better and more fun smile.gif I'm looking forward to it.

Dude, you can't just come in here and say this is the BEST TROY map ever. For all we know this could be the worst TROY map ever. Thread looks okay, how bout lotsa screens? I saw piece of terrain for this that Wooden posted up. Was pretty bad terrain, hopefully you've improved it, because the one I saw was like a 0.5/10.

Mmm.. If I remember well.. didn't you said the same with your LOTR map that it would be the best LOTR map ever? It's not... Also, please, don't talk about other terrain.. look at yours first.. anyways..

OT: This seems a cool map, good luck with it man. I hope this will be a good seige map.

Why do you have Paris listed as a "Princess"?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Felagund on 2006-06-09 at 01:20:40
Aye, he was Hector's brother. And if you'd like to go Shakespearean, you can bring out Troilus, Hector's youngest brother (and a bit better fighter than Paris).

I like the idea. I never seen a map like this once again i'm happy. It sounds you have an awsome idea and i think the game play will be insane. Make it original and surprise us all. Good luck.

Silly me, (I said silly biggrin.gif) Thats the kind of feedback I need!

Regarding DLK, I understand he has some things to say about anything I do because he's DLK. I don't really care, negative comments only make me strive to do better! BTW DLK, im not using me and Wooden's old Troy map we started. I lost that map a way long time ago so even if I did want to use things from it I wouldnt be able to.

The walls of Troy are nice and a bit blocky if your wondering and I think I want to add a layer to them so they look like this,

_______________
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The "x" is wall, "_" is top of wall segment, "o" is a unit.
_o_o_o_o_o_o_o_ The idea is that theres an area before the top of the wall forarcher
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and warriors to fight over the wall, I don't think its going changed --Bottom of wall-- unless I find it neccesary to the game.

fritfrat - once the walls are surpassed the residential district is pretty much destroyed, the temples and such next to the palace are pretty easy kills. I always thought a great palace should have many rooms and be huge, the palace in my Troy is huge. My palace might be a little too big on the outside but the inside is just how you would imagine a palace to be. With all the rooms and hallways filled up with soldiers its a pretty important part of the map.

As for the rest of you i need IDEAS!!!! Anything a great siege map needs!

Sorry DLD no gods, they are to rigged.
Zee, you gatta mention something to the thread or map to have it not be spam, and yes I read about Xythar RPG
Atreyu, Thx smile.gif

You guys need to mention some ideas what I should have in the map, I know its alot harder now because the BETA isn't in ready yet, but I still need to hear what a good Troy map should have!

Nice new layout to your post tongue.gif

Yea gods are no fun in a map, but non rigged heros that can level up are always nifty. Except for the elf, he makes it no fun.

But yea, troy needs lots going on all at once, what kinda massing are you having? O.o

[right][snapback]503117[/snapback][/right]

Im thinking of having target mass and then an observer that allows you to mass anywhere or maybe just target mass (Preset mass areas), I don't want the Acheans to be able to explore Troy with the observer, I might just have the observer's movement restricted to the area the Acheans can access.

Heh alright well today I'll aim for getting the map on this computer with internet on it by tommarow. I'm kind of nervous though, the version is untested and im kind of weary putting it up since im not ganna be able to work on it tonight, what do you guys think?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Pyro_Maniak14 on 2006-06-09 at 17:58:10
So are the walls basic ISOM terrain or are they extended terrain? Terrain can mean the difference between a crappy map and a good one, wink.gif . Looks cool, I hope its better than the one that I've played on B.net.
