General Discussion

At the moment there isn't much else to show, i need to finish some vital parts of the outdoor terrain and caves, taverns, halls, etc, Before there is a possiblity to make any other screenshots.

Interesting map idea...
Can I still enjoy the map when I go singleplayer? And you said there will be AI. What does AI really do in your map? I'm curious...

I suppose the AI is a "random order" to order random city to launch an attack on the other city. And other NPC's actions.
If i'm wrong, srry.

But i have a question. If one of the city has been conquer. Will the AI still launch the attack on that city, or change route?

Im not really the person to ask about the AI since i do terrain, but i think it includes wars, npc movement and uniqe actions, example (when models are done) there will be guards who lighten torches and lanterns when night falls (gives u a feeling that the npc's are doing something

I have just finished the save and load code. Right now it's just having a very easy encryption and will need som modifications.

What will be the view style. How long will it take to level?

Ok this i can answer, the view is 3rd person (camera rotates with the heroes facing angle) but you can control the angle of attack between 300-360 degrees (makes it useable anywhere without bugging). And it will take very long time to level up in this map. During the year we've made LoA my best character got to lvl 16 (made many characters tho (all above lvl 7)
If you reach a level higher than 35 (dont know if thats the correct lvl) then you can show your character to one of us (alowan,gadde,sneaky-sebbe or me) and if its above lvl 35 we'll add it to the Heroes section on the website (the name of your acc u used when playing it + the class of the hero).

hi there! i have a question about the 3rd person cam.
i´m working on a WoW rpg and i´m searching for a camera system. did you use the WEU cam or did you code your own? if yes, will you post it in the trigger forum?

We triggered our own camera, and we wont make it downloadable (we keep our triggers to ourselves sry...)

~Question~

Howdy, , I've a question:

Currently, How long do you expect Game Loading Time will be? Also, since the Loading Time is based on your RAM, and probably your Graphics card, how would you rate your RAM and Graphics card, based on a scale from 1-10; 10 being Uber style , and 1 being... Nasty.

I havent tried the new terrain yet (yea i know its weird that i havent tried, since im one of the creators) but all LoA versions i have ever tried have quite short loading time.

About AI: Computer AI is mostly how the Military works for the different races. This includes random patrols around the territory, random attacks to enemy cities, and in the future "taking prisoners". If you any questions about AI, thats my territory

May i know what type of map protecter you all are using for LOA?
Cos i need it to reduce my map size. (If it does)
Can i have a link to it?

To GaDDeN:
May i know if 1 of the city in LOA is destoryed. Will the other city that wins the battle will change lane to attack another city?

I love 3rd person cam, but most of the people don't like it I think. You should add triggers for the cam, allowing players to choose 3rd person or a general warcraft3 cam. The AI system seems cool. N btw, how big this map will be? I mean the mapsize

The LoA Project Leaders pointed out earlier that the map would probably come out to be slightly less than 4.0 Gigs.

I'll let them correct me if I am indeed wrong.
