Spirit of Heroes

Description


Spirit of Heroes is a PvE game, much like a hero defense/survival where teamplay is highly focused to cover up each other's weaknesses. As a hero defense/survival game, this map gives off a wave of creeps at intervals in which players must defend the main Town Hall, other building is allowed to be destroyed (shops, houses, etc) but players won't be able to shop, or interact with destroyed building anymore.

Plot
game starts from town of Izgriel, where Warriors of Izgriel just escapes from the Scourge of the Lordaeron, back in their hometown they saw that the nearby villages and cities is already taken down by Scourge which already make a move into Izgriel

Game System


Spirit of Heroes
unlike most PvE game in which every character already has a set skills, in this map you choose any set of skills you want, in real-time mode by using a 'Spirit Items'. Spirit Items contains the spirit of fallen heroes of ancient times that will bestows the user the knowledge of the spirit, granting different skills for different spirit used

Available Spirits
Flan
Basic water elemental, bestows you with water properties and spell ability, weak to fire


Fury
Basic fire elemental, bestows you with fire properties and regeneration capabilities, weak to water


Hawk
Basic wind elemental, bestows you with wind properties and agile movement


Treant
Basic earth elemental, bestows you with earth properties and lumbering strength


Spells and Castings
Almost every spell in this map will require channel/cast time which is quite long, teamplay is highly recommended to make sure each player will covers up other teammate while they are casting spell

Elemental Weakness System
in this map, you can't simply increase your armour and HP to tank enemies, Elemental system comes to mind. Damaging enemy using it's weakness will deal heavy damage and temporarily slows and silences them, useful to stop enemies from casting powerful spells on you

Equipment System
each player is allowed to have 1 weapon, armour and helmet in this game, they may choose their equipment to their liking

Fusion System
what is fusion system? it is a system that will allows you to combine 2 spirits into 1 spirit, it will bestow you a more powerful spirit, or a random spirit depending on your combination

Random Attributes and Rebalance System
for now, there is no such thing as overlevelling in this map, since enemy will also be adjusted according to your Heroes level, also whenever your hero levels up it will gain a total of 4 attributes point distributed to random stats, which means it will be up to you how to adjust your equipment and your spirit to your stats and your allies stats.

Saving cities and bosses
coming soon!

Progress

Trigger : 1% (Warning : almost every spell in this game is triggered, a lot of system trigger is already implemented)
Terrain : 10% (currently placeholder is at 100%, but still too flat, needed more doodad)
Units : 20% (interval creeps are done, bosses and neutrals still needed)
Items : 5% (needs more spirits and equipment)
Spells : 1% (only basic elemental spells are implemented)

What is needed?

well, anyone is willing to help in making this map, be it a terrainer, a modeller, ideas, etc is always welcomed!

This actually sounds...

Absolutely interesting! I really like your ideas, and to me there is systems that are quite unique in maps like this. (And well, I love defense maps)
I am really looking forward to see this project grow, and I hope it will be finished.

I would gladly come up with ideas for whatever you need it for, and would be willing to create icons (if you need any) for this map as well. The latter only if I am to see this map get finished, as I don't want to spend time creating icons for a dead project.

You could work a bit on the presentation though, to make it more "flashy", it is quite dull now, even though it is organized in a good way. To make more people interested than myself. :p

thank you for the compliments! :grin:

but since i started making maps myself i wonder how do i request for a terrain? sending my whole map seems strange to me :vw_wtf:

and also i need a lot of ideas for spirits, currently there is only 1 spirit for 1 element, before release, at least there should be 5 spirit for 1 element (pretty far from release i guess), anyone can post your ideas here, ofc credits will be given if used
