[MORPG] Brothers Grimm
Map Specs:
Running Progress List:
Note: Running list means this will be modified at my discretion and may not always be up to date or include all features that will show in the map. Also a lot of it is constantly being re-coded so some items may shift to be done faster or slower than others.

Brothers Grimm
I fell in the vastness of the desert, nothing looked old, and everything appeared to be new,
As I watched the sand being carried away by the breeze, and it seemed that it took my memories too.
Was it all a dream? Or did i hit my head on something?
With a blistering headache, I awoke near a pub unable to reconcile my last few actions.
I entered the dreary pub with a long face and ordered up a few rounds.
The barkeep kept pouring and explained the recent defilement and poor of the town that seemed to be at no end.
A strange drunken old man who smelled of nothing but drown sows approached and joined a table in the corner of the bar.
He told the strangest stories of fictional tales of fairies, witches, and even dragons.
No one believes in dragons anymore; they have been extinct for years and the other people laughed him off.
And for a while I thought nothing of such a drowned out soul of a man that he was, until he said something that rung like a bell threw my ears.
He explained there was one creature with the ability to erase memories and the ones who lived to tell it often were unable to even tell about what had occurred.
So, I followed him outside the bar to ask him about this creature that erases memories.
But as I approached this man in an dead end alley before I could ask about the creature he disappeared in thin air as if he was a creature himself.
Where he left lay a book though. On the cover was strange emblem with the etched title-- Brothers Grimm.

Max Level: 60+
Gameplay: A MORPG with nearly endless terrain, some dungeon & dragon elements, and scripted boss fights.
It will focus on fights with supernatural and also many urban legends.
Current Map Size: 1,858 kbs (This will be updated sparingly when map size changes drastically usually)
Note: Running list means this will be modified at my discretion and may not always be up to date or include all features that will show in the map. Also a lot of it is constantly being re-coded so some items may shift to be done faster or slower than others.
Core:
✔Chances: Chances for critical strikes etc are made to balance using Get Proc
=Events for nearly everything (stuff like critical strikes, evades, and etc are given events)
=Physics (heroes will knockback units with attacks)
Combat Semantics:
Spells:
Casting Bar:
=Casting bars appear when casting spells (mostly re-coding)
=Casting bars can be canceled mid-way (mostly re-coding)
=Casting bars can be sped/slowed down (mostly re-coding)
Meteors:
✔Manipulative meteors(quantity, time to fall, effects etc)
Unit Images:

Invisibility:
✔Invisibility that is revealable on a per player basis
Auras:
✔An check for aura victims if they are invisible, or hexed so they cannot bestow auras (to replicate wc3's aura system)

)
Reviving Units:
✔Works well
Status System:
✔Works well (just needs to re-code some things like stun to account for faster hit recovery on items)
Combat:
Chances:
(these are being re-coded but will be finished soon)
✔Hit (causes normal damage)
