WARCRAFT SPINOFF: LIFE OF A PEASANT​

Lore​

• Several races have sought refuge in a far away island kingdom after the war against the Burning Legion. You are among the refugees and now starting as a peasant, you will need to secure your future in the land
• The Kingdom is in turmoil, corruption among the nobles is getting known, more people are joining the ranks of the Bandits and Pirates, the King's sister is nowhere to be found, the aquatic beasts have gone berserk and are harassing the coastline, and the dregs of the Burning Legion continue to linger around...

Gameplay​

• Find a settlement, build your base, destroy your enemies, and win the game
  • Unlike melee games, the character starts with just a few gold to buy certain tools for gathering resources and/or weapons to defend themselves.
    • Hire Personal Goons in Taverns to help gather lumber, and Engineers in Dry Docks and Black Markets to build extra basic structures
      • Personal Goons can be upgraded into Guards that can provide basic tanking for the character, or Rogues that can do basic stealth and sabotage (reduces Reputation on sabotage use), or Deacons that can provide basic healing and support.
    • Gather skin from animals for leather, gather crops, animal meat, and fish on fishing spots for food ingredients or for selling; you can try digging around for chance to get materials, potions, or even rare equipment!
      • Seeds can be bought in town and city marketplaces, and Barns can produce young farm animals.
      • If you don't want to fish, you can hire a Fishing Boat that does the fishing for you.
      • Digging near graves reduces Reputation
    • Buy low and sell high! Certain regions have in-demand items that have extra selling income
      • For example, fish from freshwaters are in-demand in the naval city, and the fish from sea are in-demand to the cities in-land
      • There are also Black Markets where you can buy and sell certain items, but they do not have regional bonuses
    • Buy weapons for your characters to gain abilities, upgrade weapons using certain materials such as iron, steel, mithril, leather, silk. Buy armor and accessories for extra protection and to gain bonuses

  Reputation:
  • Reputation is a special system based on the current standing to the Kingdom that can give perks or make your game harder.
    • Talking to villagers, completing Messenger quests, defeating evil bosses, upgrading Kingdom armory and provisions, and liberating a bandit controlled settlement increases Reputation
    • Killing villagers and Kingdom forces, activating the Chaos Shrine, conquering or destroying settlements, digging near graves, and using Spy abilities reduces Reputation
    • Levels of Reputation:
      • Spoiler

        • Exalted: Grants shared vision with the Kingdom and becomes technically allied, meaning the Kingdom priests and mages can now autocast buff your units. The Kingdom will now accept requests for reinforcements to your base in any case it gets attacked

        • Liked: Villagers now have a chance to give a random free gift when talking

        • Neutral: no advantages or disadvantages
        • Notorious: talking to Villagers now has reduced Reputation gain.

        • Hated: You are now enemies with the Kingdom; if you are Lawful, your conquered Town Guards and Patrols will turn against you
        • Threat: The Kingdom will now periodically send waves to assault your base and your character
  Settlements
  • There are certain settlements that serve as trading routes and checkpoints, and as well as strategic chokepoints due to their locations. Some settlements have Dry Docks and Shipyards, some have Marketplaces, some have Goblin Laboratories, some have Item Peddlers (that sell instant basic equipment), Settlements' Towers turn get disabled and invulnerable if they reach fatal damage and if they get repaired enough they will be ready again for attack. Each one has a hero Mayor that represents the cities. Players can defeat the Mayor to conquer their settlement to gain bonus upkeep and daily income. Conquered Mayors and Town Guards will be now controlled by the player but they cannot leave their settlement.
    • Villages have few towers and few Town Guards
    • Towns have enough towers and enough Town Guards
    • Cities have enough towers and many Town Guards. Cities have Market Centers where the players can sell their items with regional bonuses. They also spawn Patrols that run to-and-fro the other cities. Their Mayors are special with different abilities and are stronger than Village and Town Mayors
      • Cities replenish Patrols' numbers should they get killed
    • Capital cities are well fortified and defended. Their "mayor" is the King.
    • Lawfuls can also turn their conquered settlements into Vassals that return the ownership of the Mayor, Towers, and Town Guards back to the Kingdom and reduce the daily income but they get increased Reputation.
  Mercenaries
  • There are also some other races that are taking refuge in the nation but they are too few to make a considerable amount to make an army; instead most of them have resorted into being sell-swords; they will take any kind of alliance just to get gold - so Bandit and Evil players can hire them as well
    • Goblin Shredders can harvest lumber more quickly and more efficiently, Goblin Zeppelins can fly around the map though they provide less load that Transport Ships, and Goblin Tinkers are heroes that can build turrets, send rocket barrages, and turn into a giant robo-tank
    • Tauren Warriors are bulky warriors that can deal area damage, and Spirit Walkers can revive them
    • Furbolgs Warriors are strong warriors that can Frenzy itself to move and attack faster, Furbolg Shamans can heal allies over time and can track enemies to retain vision should they turn invisible
  Quests
  • Each city has a Messenger that can give a quest per region, per player; Quest difficulty and rewards increase as the Reputation increases. Quests also give huge Reputation rewards
    • Messengers can also start boss events that summon powerful bosses for everyone to kill and loot
  • Only Lawfuls can start and compelete quests
  Dungeons
  • There are dungeons (and the coliseum) around the map where you can only enter during nighttime and if you have the required key to enter. Clear the end boss for more loot
    • You can buy the required keys that let's you and all of your controlled units to entire for the duration of the night; alternatively, you can give in to their requests for them to give you a free key.
  Chaos Events
  • Chaos Events can be activated on the Chaos shrine, they can cause trouble to the enemies and even activate special Calamities that summon more evil enemies for you to defeat. Activating Chaos Events and Calamities reduce Reputation but surviving Calamities grants huge Reputation amounts for each surviving settlement
  Alignments:
  • Lawful: Allied to the Kingdom, enemies with the Bandit faction; can request and accept or deny alliances from fellow Lawfuls
    • Landlord: Focused on base building, expansion, and annexation of towns, villages, and cities. Limited to 1 extra hero
      • Landlords can build Town Centers that can send a trading caravan provides gold to the player if it reaches the nearest city unharmed, or Civilian Centers that can spawn Kingdom-aligned Villagers and then summon time-limited Guards and Clerics to defend the base.
        • Town Center and Civilian Center are required to build the first proper Town Hall type of building that proceeds to the typical melee buildings
    • Hero: Very limited base upkeep and unit production. Can hire up to 3 extra heroes based on character level and receives access to the Hero Vault that improves your heroes.
  • Bandit: Enemies with the Kingdom, allied to the Bandit faction; can request and accept or deny alliances from fellow Bandits. Starts as Hated to the Kingdom and cannot improve reputation.
    • Capture settlements to gain footholds for the Bandit faction, especially cities since they can spawn extra Bandit patrols.
  • Evil: Enemies with everyone, even on fellow Evil players (can't trust anyone); focused on causing mayhem and destruction. Starts as Hated to the Kingdom and cannot improve reputation. You are "allied" with the Calamity enemies so try to make use of the events to cause chaos in the sidelines
  Victory Conditions:
  • Lawful: Destroy the Bandits, Defeat all evil bosses, Clear all Dungeons at least once each, and survive all the special Calamities
  • Bandits: Destroy all other players, conquer all the settlements, claim the throne, defeat all evil bosses
