kaka.
[IDEA 1] - Arc: Twilight of Memories
PLOT DRIVEN | RPG | TURN BASED SYSTEM
It's a rpg idea, follows plot very much. Pretty much this how goes. RPG goes somewhat like Vandal Hearts II, type of style if your ever played it.
You awake in a strange room where a elvenish lady sitting over you, she tells you how she comed to find you and how you got these combat wounds of yours. All that you know is that you were soldier in some army and got hurt and washed up too beach near elvenish lady town. While you were resting town comes under attack by a small band of soldiers from the army of Kai. This where you come into play, he gears up and goes outside so on.
Combat system bit different yet turn based. Player has Action Points Per turn, it effects his movement, attack and skills. Takes 1 action point move 1 step, 2 actions points use attack and 2 action points use skill/spell also skills require no mana but take time charge up. While spells use mana. Enemies also have same AP as your heroes does but heroes have more AP then normal. Most combat will be live on stop in area, boundies will be set and player cannot leave till all enemies are defeated or objective for that battle been finished. So battles may have different objectives depending where hero is. So first battle will be defeat all enemies, Defeat be letting hero die. Uh forgot hero name, so here list.
Nui, Naraf, Dale, Sin, Jax, Krah, Kuji, Gavendra, Khanas, Ethen, Cid, Sid, Taliesin, Zack, Leo, Theo, Garast, Stride, Klastar, Verrin, Falgon, Yuri, Jake, Simian, Reis, Ratius, Gallane, Emerson, Nano, Kojacs, Hikaru, Akuji, Dirk, Azala, Seth, Karn, Damion, Bronx, Volrath, Gush, Dein, Dyio, Sinclair, Zeril.
Yea well im sure you get basic idea of this idea.
[IDEA 2] - Blast eM!
ACTION | HACK N SLASH
This more fast paced action hack and slash type of map.
Opening scene, be APC Transport unit flying in from somewhere then gets hit by unknown missile/spore of sometype cause's the ship to crash land in wasteland area infested with " Enemy " could be alien or zerg whatever you choose. As soon you crash you have few seconds rush too armory area equit weapon's before some of " enemies " rush inside your crash APC Transport. map just really survival / escape type map. Where you have survival swarms of enemies rushing at you from caves in map. so soon you reach a cave you can blow it up. You do have abilities depending on class you picked. can talk about them if map picked. Pretty much mindless blow s*** up blast crap outta stuff. for braindead public.
[IDEA 3] - Fear of Freedom
SIM | ACTION
Fear exist everywhere you look, nowhere fear isnt, always watching you, waiting for you. You play role of a convict inside a prison, you fear to leave the place, because of what lurks within the place. So you do lots stuff stay inside. Mug people, kill, sell drugs. Idea of this map is try do as much bad things as you can before week ends so that you dont get kicked out of the prison, if you get kicked out of the prison you lose. Be many things do inside of prison also depends on you level of XP, you gain XP for doing bad stuff, more xp you get more things you can buy improve your convict, sao 100 xp will buy you a knife so you can go and stab people. More a type of sim game but different.
This could be basic list of things inmate could do:
Things we know best:
- Mug a person, whom is yellow. Gives a randomized amount of cash
- Murder a person, any color. If a witness is around your crime would be reported so cops be looking for you.
- Sell Drugs, can only sell drugs too a brown colored unit will be randomized cash as well as well randomized subtraction of you drugs. Will be different drugs sell.
- Become a hoodlum, back into hard life of crime, raiding, raping, murder, stealing, destory, beating up cops, taking drugs, selling.
- Hitman, do task for you boss.
During this you will get missions depending on what job you have and more points you get better job you can go for. But being caught by cops be hard part, now do uh jobs that dont require crime.
Things that he doesnt know best:
- Selling followers on side of a street, sells too yellow units walking along streets.
- Garbage Collector, driving streets in morning picking up trash and watching out for gang raids.
- Guard, protect a building from any hassles.
- Become a snitch for cops, .. well spy on gangs and stuff.
[IDEA 4] - Wind of Destiny
RPG CAMPAIGN
For a Fate, a young oprhen in a small village named Pugen. One night a fairy of the wind came crashing though Fate's window this where all trouble begins for him, he didnt know that a evil force was following the fairy. He learns of a power which can save her world and his. She also tells him its his destiny too save the two worlds but he cannot do it alone, so he has set out on long journey to find his allies and friends to help him in his quest to defeat this evil force which is coming. Bah not much info on this one sorry.
[IDEA 5] - Tacticalmatic Warfare

[IDEA 8] - Mechish Type RPG
Basic Idea
Alright, you have Mech (Goliath) that has 100 HP, starts out with 10% HP, you get select what engine you put in. Say its ATX 500, adds 15% Extra HPs, decreases speed to mech (heavy engine) While ATX 350, adds say 5% to 10% HPs, but adds no extra real weight to mech. Then you have weapons, selected from, one Close Range, one Medium & one Long. Weapon Melee weapon on, no weight, Medium adds 1 - 3 units under it, Long Range adds alot of weight. Also Once you have selected weapon have select special abilites your mech can do. 1 - 2 specials. Also get 3 - 5 stat points add to your mech, Add Armor, Add HP 2% per up, also can add stat points on speed will subtract how many units get put under your mech, Stat points add dmg to your weapons, Mech doesn't have damage, edit in Scmdraft give it 0 dmg, so all you weapons do all work. Also weapons have ammo. Melee weapons have 0 because they don't use anything other then energy. Unless you going add power enegry to mech then i guess dont worry about this one. Your Medium carries 150 to 300, Long Range has 10 to 30. You maybe thinking Mech has Low hp? Well enemies not too strong, around 3 - 8 HP's with 2 - 6 dmg so pretty easy battle. I guess that's all I can think of at this point time. Now for your comments on the idea.
[IDEA 9] - Beyond Death & Honor, RPG Campaign
The Story Begins...
- Many year's ago, an Imperial General of the Army, Rhun who was both a respected and honored hero, he was well known for his duties and virtue... until that one bitter winter night, his life's prize "Myriel", his wife fell stricken to an unknown sickness... Rhun had vowed to retire from the army to look after both his son and wife... Day by day, Myriel got weaker and weaker and Rhun could only watch as his wife lost her will to live, he fell deeply into despair but had promised Myriel to mentor their son in the ways of the Ancient Swordsman, the ancestral teachings that have been passed on for many generations.
A few months later, Rhun had just returned home from teaching their son the ways of a swordsman only to find that Myriel has passed away, "May Gaia provide a safe passage to the earth" Rhun said haplessly... "May she be one with the earth, may she be one with Gaia...". Suddenly his world collapsed but the land stood firm beneath his son, "It will be a long dread-filled road ahead for us, darling...".
10 Year's Later...
- It has been 10 year's since that fateful day and 11 year's of retirement, his son Ratix has become a strong fine lad and is now a novice swordsman, much like his father in many ways, Ratix is slowly mastering the art. Rhun on the other hand knew that slowly the ancient art is fading away, but there is only one hope to restore the once brilliant ways of the art and the power of the Gilard Empire.
2 Week's Later...
- A fine rare day when the sun was shining vigorously and the flowers were abound and blooming. Ratix notices a strange man come to their residence in fine silk and well kept clothing, "The Scum of Royalty", said Ratix, "and it just happened to go by here, I've no interest in that...", Ratix then sees his father and the stranger talking, "I've nothing better to do then waste my time with Catalus, my best friend" and Ratix leaves the scene... only to regret it for the image will haunt him forever.

[IDEA 10] - Basic Conpect of Map
Each person selects a hero, depending on hero person select it depends which act he/she comes in. Lets say Hero Fenix is required thoughout all acts so 1 player must select fenix to begin Act 1, in act 1 he/she may meet Raynor being attacked by monsters so fenix helps raynor out and he joins fenix on his quest w/e it is. ACT 2 may have nobody in it act 3 could have 2 - 3 heroes. So map plays out in acts kinda like abook. Fenix must goto beacon to end that act and begin the next act and soon.

[IDEA 13] - Odd Combat Idea
Idea somewhat kinda hard explain off top my head so i'll try my best in doing so.
Combat system can be Real Time Combat or Turn Base Combat whichever you want choose. Player has dice, you roll dice to work out what your ATP is, ATP stands for Attack Timer Points. Say you get a 6 when you roll your dice that means you get +6 attack time. So you have 6 seconds attack your enemy while your enemy has freeway on his attack. The ATP more for a delay effect on your attacks so its more real base for what class you are.
Also another idea is, more TBC idea this one is, you have 3 boxes, each box is something different. First + Second box Reps your Attacks + Skills/Spells First box is like 95% Attack 5% Skills/Spells Second box is 70% Attack 30% Skills/Spells Last box is for Item Use / Shield / Nothing. This be like 50% Nothing 25% Item 25% Shield Skills/Spells require no magic just takes time to cast it. Some may take one, two, three turns depending on which spell. Also have different levels of attack Power which add + Seconds to your timer. You can also do same for your enemies depending if you want go that indepth with the system.
This pretty much the idea hope you like.

[IDEA 15] - Odd Idea
You know i played alot of maps in mytime on starcraft yet i havent seen this idea once, maybe people thought of it i wouldnt know. This i would say be like semi rpg idea so here goes.
Your would select a pet and then train it feed it as well look after it, you can also collect more pets but can only have one pet in play at time. Pet would follow you depending on what commands you gave it, commands would be as followed and what commands do:
(Note; you don't own pet a computer does but exp goes to you, no this isnt pokemon)
STOP; Stops where location was last locked, will attack if enemy comes near
FOLLOW; Pet will follow where-ever you go, auto attacks as it follows
ROAM; pet will roam around randomly going anywhere and will attack
SWITCH; will switch which pet you have in field with one you have in your sphere's
Is a big location also on top your hero, if pet leaves it he'll be teleported back next too you because cant let pet roam anywhere =) When entering a shop your pet will be recalled to your sphere area and you will have resummon him to field once outside. Also have max number of pets your allowed. System can be Turn Based if you choose or just plain real time combat like it is. XP for your hero is gained different to your pet, pet xp gained killing monsters, hero gained by buying his stats off money your monster earns by killing monsters. As well your pet has 1 - 2 special abilities, while hero can pick his abilities at start and will gain them over time.
I hope you like this idea =)
[IDEA 16] - Darkrune
QUOTE

DARKRUNE
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
Gaia created the Rune Stones to balance out life, but ambitions of others corrupted Gaia's dreams..
" All the players in the game are a Rune Magi (Tassadar). You have the gift to wield Rune Stones powers. By combining Runes stones with other elements you are able to summon minions at your will to help you out. The four elemets are Earth, Water, Air and Fire. Some of the Rune stones if combined will cast a spell and not a summon but isnt too many spells in Rune Stones more summons then spells. Im gonna give example of some summons below. "
" Casting By "
Casting by done by a dropship and runestones casted will be put in a box next to it so you know what is what. Once ready you unload a unit in drop ship would be called something like Cast or something and blek~ spell/summon is done.
" Combining Elements "
Must combined to Elements for a summon or spell to work. Remember each rune cost 5 mana per Rune stone. So must have the required mana to cast spell otherwise will be failure creation. Two Rune stones = basic summon or spell. Each summon or spell could use different rune stones to just create it. So try out different things and see. Spells like Shockwave only last few seconds but can come in handy when overwhelmed by enemies. Havent really thought out how many summons/spells = max and how much rune stones you need just cast ultimate spells yet but will come in time i guess.
Basic Stuff
Fire + Fire = Flarion Berserker (Firebat)
Water + Water = Healing (Spell)
Air + Air = Wind Drake (Mutalisk)
Earth + Earth = Shockwave (Spell / Lurker)
Kinda Basic Stuff
Fire + Water = Aquaire Slug (Reaver)
Air + Earth = Earthshaker (Carrier)
