Storming Falcon Hill

Description: (8)Storming Falcon Hill is a completely new and unique AoS project. You can either fight as the Dictatorship (team, evil) or the Democracy (team, good), both having different heroes, units and strategies.

Dictatorship: The Dictatorship would normally be the boys in black, but in this map they have more than just soldiers on their side. They are protecting Falcon Hill from the Democracy. If Falcon Hill is destroyed, the Dictatorship will have suffered a major blow. But, if the Dictatorship can push through the invaders, and take out their base camp, they can actually stop and destroy an entire strike force sent by the Democracy.

Democracy: The Democracy are not always the good guys, in this map they are planning to slaughter anybody on or near Falcon Hill, any civilians that get in their way shall be severely punished. If the Democracy loses too much ground to the Dictatorship, they will have lost a major part of their attack force, and will be weakened to the point where they can be completely annihilated. But, if they destroy Falcon Hill, then they will have destroyed all of the Dictatorship’s secret war creatures/weapons, and will have successfully made a hole in their funding, strategy, and army strength.

Falcon Hill: Falcon Hill is a secret Dictatorship laboratory. Inside the Laboratory, the Dictatorship makes abominations and zombie-like creatures that are very effective against any opponent. To make these, they forge flesh and guts, and even evil wit and disgusting imagination. Also, inside the monster-making lab, is a secret nuclear weapon, which must be deactivated if the Democracy is going to survive and kill the head Dictator (Sequal Alert).

You seem to have a million projects on the go!

I'll terrain! lol

I'm not so sure I'm in need of a terrainer right now. Maybe when I have the basic terrain outline done, which should be done by this Friday.

Shoul;dnt it be in Project Requierement /idea factory ? I see nothing done yet altough it seems to be interesting and original

I plan to make a Project Recruitment Thread for it as well. I just don't have time right now, but when I do, I promise you, I will update this thread substantially.

Sounds good + rep, hope you actually finish it.

Sounds interesting, bro. Can't wait 'til you finish it

Thanks, I hope I can hear more from you guys as the project progress increases.

I could do some texturing? I am pretty decent, at least until you find someone that is really good

Well it's great that you want to, but if you look up at the beginning of the post, you see there's a link to the Project Recruitment thread, that's where you can show past textures and such. That's where I'll accept you, and I'm planning to make a Team Thread Section once I have enough members.

I like innovative ideas especially if they are so different, so I strongly encourage you to finish this, but you might want to add more classes and 5v5 or 6v6 gameplay for fuller games. You could add sniper, medic, tank hunter just some ideas, for more choice.

Those units are not heroes... just so you know. I'm designing the beta heroes right now, and they will be totally unique, I guarantee you. As for those classes, those will be special trains, which I haven't added to the Units List yet.

EDIT: Added two trainable units, both of them are anti-tankers.
EDIT: Added two more trainable units, both of them are anti-infantry.

sounds good, i can help you in sound editor

Sorry, that was my old specialty, I won't be needing any help their, neither.

wait so u wont be playing the elites, henchmen and mutants?? can u give like a few examples of heroes playable?

I will... once they are all ready and good for testing.

hmmm instersting might be fun or it might be a Aos klone lets us se

If you need some models, you can dig me up some concepts and send them in a PM. I might make a few if I feel like it (and if I feel this map will be completed)

I'd particularly like to model the German creatures

@SuPa-: Great news, you should probably post in the Project Recruitment thread too.
@DesKaladA: I gurantee you, this will not be just another AoS, I have already made concepts that have never been in a (popular) AoS before.

mmmh... good idea, but though you can add more things...

Would you mind telling me what you want me to add, monchopim?

It's good to have a german when making a german-based game...

Yeah that's extremely useful, thanks a lot, +rep. And, I'm sorry I actually used Babel Fish for that one, wasn't really sure what the real name was.

i mean, special features... tanks and everithing... not only infantry... know you maybe add some heavy vehicles... what kinda skill will the hero have? idk, some kinda Head-Shot?

If you paid attention, there are VERY special features, there is a tank, and the abilities are being worked on right now. I revealed some of the heroes' layout, that should be enough for now, especially this early in development.

HMmm. this seems interesting, hope this doesnt turn into one of 100 almost identical aoses

Project sounds good. If this ends up being a good modern warfare AoS (Well this is more like WW2 rather than modern, but anything more upgraded than WarCraft is modern ) I will be suprised and surely end up playing tis often.

Is this map in good enough condition to be showing off screenshots of at least the terrain?
~Craka_J

Actually it is, I'm finishing up some places that could be shown off as 'impressive.'

I do question the front picture though...

The front picture has been changed, I find this one much more suitable. I have also taken the first screenshot, it is of a small village [Village of Gregor] where you can rape, pillage, and purchase.

Looks good so far. Keep it up!

I like the way you can look through the buildings and see what's inside.
~Craka_J

Thanks, I'm still working on that area though, I'm actually looking for a good 'German Soldier Statue' to replace that clunky rock.

hm... i gess the village is ok
i dont like the house thoug

I like the indoor terrain shot. Nothing much new with the outside terrain though.
~Craka_J

The outside screenshot has some furniture stacked up by the rock, that's about it. Next, I will work on the large Nazi village.

UPDATE: These are all screens of the [Allies] Democracy base, which is made of wooden towers, walls, and facilities. Enjoy.

Needs more environmental doodads to be placed, hill variation, maybe denser forestation, and the tile variation could be better.

Looks good for a start though.

~Craka_J

Yeah, don't have the terrain so flat

Could I use this as a concept? I think it's mega pwnage (just instead of that arrow symbol have a swastika. If so, what do you want it to be?

I'm saying that would probably be a Dictatorship hero, I'm thinking another type of Mutant hero, so it might be something like "Mutant Slasher", and the other concept I sent you would be a "Mutant Clamper" or something like that. Great idea, thanks a lot. I'm still working on the base, it will be awhile before it's perfect, but I hope it'll get there soon.

UPDATE: Progress on the base is increasing, I'm almost done with the American side. I've also added 15 items to the front page, and I'm going to release some info right now.

Info:
-There will be over 1000 different types of items
-There is already completely custom attack types including: Toxic, Experimental, Explosive, and Special.
-The map will be 192x160 (Large)
-Democracy will be on the bottom, Dictatorship on the top.

Much better! Very good improvement, Scyth-Master.

~Craka_J

Update: Wow thanks Craka_J, that means a lot to me. Now here we go, two more screenies!

I highly recommend you tint those trees darker. Their color makes them stand out way too much, making it hard to focus in on the details of the rest of the terrain, especially since it is a dark terrain.

~Craka_J

I was thinking of making a variety of the same unit, is that ok? Like, for the abominations, have different weapon types (chemical thrower, chain gun, rocket launcher, etc.) as well as heads/body look. Is that OK?

That would be fine, that might even work for some unit upgrades... could prove quite useful. By the way, I won't be doing any more terrain shots and won't really be working too much on the map until January 1st, but I will try to update this thread with news and such.

Don't forget to work on a laboratory and a torture chamber! It's no good Nazi map unless you remember to put those in.

~Craka_J

This map's lagging behind so I figured I'd kindle the flames with some WIP pics, they're of the abomination chemical sprayer. I was thinking of giving him quadrupedal robotic legs, and I like to think that he sprays mustard gas

K, mostly finished the modeling part of it. I might work on the legs some more, don't know

Concept and storyline I made:

The German Dictatorship's new genetics program had gone successfully well as of, but the Germans felt they needed a heavier, more durable destructive weapon in the ranges of horrors kept in the laboratories and barracks. And since people were much cheaper than tanks or airplanes, they decided to develop a new creature and later stumbled upon human cybernetics. Construction began on the new creature. They needed something resistant to light enemy fire, able to wipe out massive amounts of Allied troops, and above all, cast fear into the eyes of the enemy. The Abomination was the perfect answer. Though slow, the abomination is able to withstand a decent amount of fire power, and with its dual mustard gas blasters, along with the new mass production of mustard gas the Germans developed, one abomination alone can kill hundreds of troops if given the right opportunity. Surgery is first taken to remove the unneeded, lower body section. Quadrupedal mechanical legs, wired up into their spines, were needed to support the tons of weight of the fat pumped into them for extra resistance against fatal wounds, as well as the compressed gas tanks mounted and surgically implanted into their backs, with tubes running through their flesh to the sprayers. Since these legs are relatively expensive, other abomination types may not use or need such leg attachments, and are instead given powerful steroids to build up muscles. Usually, for the production of abominations, because so little volunteers have ever offered to become one, they use prisoners, from the many concentration camps spread across the nation, that are there after drugged into forgetfulness of their past. Training usually lasts three months so that the new abomination gets a feel for its new legs, if given them, and weapon systems. To ensure they fight, chemicals and hallucinogens are pumped through every abominations blood stream to make them more aggressive towards the enemy. Also, morphine is a popular drug for abominations because the metal legs constantly stretch and rip up the skin on the lower body, causing extremely painful tears in the flesh. The average lifespan of an abomination after deployment is usually 2-3 months, commonly dying from heart attacks caused by overly amounts of drug exposure. Chemical sprayer abominations may also have lewisite or the american-developed ricin gas, along with their mustard gas.

Woah, that's pretty damn good.
