Hey Volrath or deathbedeli2, I decided that there should be an official forum page where we leave comments and stuff so we can get an idea of where this project is going. So feel free to update and of your works or ask any questions about the game. Thx -Blue
Triggers arent working correctly as they should be, and I had them pretty disorganized, so I can't figure out the error. (It's pretty major too. Character won't load in the beginning...) I think I'll just re-trigger everything, so lets figure out the game systems we want to put in the game. So far I got: 1. Food System 2. Fame/Honor System (Thx Volrath ) 3. Direction/Location System 4. Free stat point system (So you can choose what stat to raise) 5. Nation System (When you select a race and character, you can also choose which nation of that race you wish to be part of) 6. Ranking System (For rewards for participating in war.) 7. Death System - Need some good idea for this 8. Extended Spell book system. (Vexorian put in on this page somewhere I think...) 9. Extended Inventory System 10. Class System 11. War System - between nations and races 12. NPC system 13. Bank and Storage System
If you got anymore ideas, let me know before I start re-triggering the map. Thx -Blue
very good idea of course, i´m doing well with the units i believe...ok will need to test it with some heroes ^^
I talked with Super-Human, and i think he wants to join our project, hes good at triggering and such things! I believe he will contact you
Random weather isn´t bad idea, yep
The Trigger problem...thats bad
Got another crazy idea ^^ or even more...
Whats about a arena where you can battle against gladiators from different nations? I mean first you choose to fight just for fun or for one of the nations and so increase you rank with them, if you win!There could be some sort of extra reward too and the gladiators who fights there will not only become stronger but new and special opponents will be unlocked when you go further in the game ^^
Second idea... (only a crazy idea...)
Part 1 Some sort of family...i mean over the game you become a well known person, even when you choose to be the biggest ass ever born ^^ So why shouldn´t you fall in love with someone? Part 2 And imagine you can "make" a child which can be trained by you and assist you in further combats! Big extra would be when you go higher in a nations rank that you then can bring your child with you so it can become a top member of the nation too, biggest problem of course it would take to long for the child to grow up to matter for you.... ^^ But its Fanatsy! ^^
I know thats not really something for the beginning...
For the Death System you could just make it so that you have to walk back from your ghost to the next healer...I mean why appears your ghost in a graveyard far away, it could just appear direct by the body, just another idea...
I like the Idea of the death system. That way, the location of the corpse doesnt have to be remembered because it'll just decay away, and will be resurrected when you get to a healer. I think I'll have the system set up so you can choose 2 ways. 1st one will be your idea, having a ghost appear and have to go back to the nearest healer. Second one will be losing 10% of your current gold to be resurrected at the spot. That way, if you are really far away from the nearest city, (there will be some maps that are at least 5~6 maps away from a city) you can just choose to resurrect at the spot without wasting like 10 minutes to resurrect. And it will also force people to use the bank system, so they dont lose a ton of gold when they get killed and dont want to go back to a healer. Good Ideas. Feel free to post any other ideas. Thx -Blue
I sent deathbedeli2 the file, so he should be getting started on the terrain pretty soon. Triggers are going pretty good with me, but I'm going to wait till tomorrow just because I'm tired and I want to see if I can come up with more ideas before I put them into the map. Hope the unit balancing works are going well. Thx -Blue

Btw what i wanted to ask you, which Editor do you use? Because i use WEU and dont know if there could be problems when you tyr to open it with other then WEU...
1.And what do you think aout some sort of housing? Would come in handy together with the family crap
2. What about mounts or other quick travel possibilities?Because when you played a long time visiting the same areas again and again and again just to come to the "outer rim" that could be really annyoing!
I used WEU for a while, but I got really quite irritated because it reordered the editors and stuff. (Ex: Object editor's fields get messed up.) If there is any problem, I think I can just install WEU, export the unit data and reload. I dont think it should be a problem though. I've had problems with triggers between WEU and regular WE, but I dont remember having a unit data problem. Thx -Blue
Maybe we outta draw a map or something before we get too deep into terraining and stuff. So that way we can figure out where each things should go...Thx -Blue[/img]
I've got two traveling methods right now, through goblin air crafts, or through ships. There is an underground tunnel named "The Underground" (I know clever) which will get you from the Blight to some island.
About the family idea. I've thought about it, and it'll make the game much too complicated. First of all for the housing, I'll need to make multiple houses in multiple cities, or you will be limited to just one house, which loses the whole point. Second of all, if the housing doesnt exist, what is to happen with the family? Your wife cant just follow you around. It's a good idea, but I dont think Im exprienced enough or want to spend that much time to make that trigger. Nice idea though, too bad we cant incorporate it. Thx -Blue
For your gladiator idea however, Im working on a smaller scale version. The pic of a tavern by Born2Modificate inspired me to make a tavern, and there you can drink, get quests and get into fist fights with other drunks. (Good idea? bad idea? leave a note.) Thx -Blue
)
and my other ideas are a big crazy yeah ^^
