Dread Wars, in need of opinions!

[ShadowHunter291]

So I've been working on (more like slaving on) my latest project called Dread Wars. In this game, each player takes up a Dreadlord hero, and with the power of good ol' evil magic, turns the villagers of a peaceful town into an army of powerful and specialized undead units to wage war with one-another.

There's a lot more to it then that (a LOT more to it than that...) and before I move onto the next stage of the game's production, I want to get some personal opinions about anything in the game.

Suggestions, bug reports, kudos and failures, just lay it on me.

Oh and theres more about the game at the link if you want to read more about it before downloading.

Thanks for any help!

Screenshots up! More to come.

I havent tested out the current build yet, but get some screenshots up so people can see what it is like!

You might want to try adding in little events that happen periodically.

Something like, soldiers return from a sea voyage and search the country side for the monsters responsible for their families. Spawns some random troops that can either attack or defend towns.

Might want to add in special event items that if you do something or kill something an item is spawned at a certain random location that is accesable and the dreadlord can pick it up.

Maybe spawn some capturable buildings that can give special upgrades for certain unit techs.




Just throwing some things out there for you. Other than that, I haven't found any bugs that would cause large problems.

Kudo's though, because this game rocks!!

Adding a larger role for the humans is gonna be difficult to keep under control, but its most likely going to be something I add soon. Thanks for the feedback, and I'll have some screenshots soon.

i have work this weekend, so i wont be on bnet to test the new version of it with you shad, what have you changed since i last played with you?

 

[ShadowHunter291]

A lot of stuff since you played last, I think. Best left to be played I'd say .

After testing it abit more, both me and my mate think air is way to cheap. It is impossible to defend. Even with a aa tower and aa units gaurding your base, they can still get attacks off and all they have to do is just continually stream gargs to your base to win.

 

[ShadowHunter291]

I don't know... the AA is pretty common and easy to get, like the crypt fiends or marksmen. But I'll look into it more to look for possible imbalances.

i see you have a picture of a custom necropolis model, is that a new upgrade of some sort, something to do with tier 5?

 

[ShadowHunter291]

Download the new version and see, it has a pretty significant factor and will have something to do with tier 5 once I add it.
