Dungeon Lords 1.6.3

[The World Is Flat]

Yeah, I was considering that my self, I'm ok with GUI, and I don't really know how you would do it, but it think it could be worth a try to experiment.

BTW your trap room should go like this: you click on the building node, and select 'Trap Room' and then from that you select the kind of trap.

And what about 'Minor boss' rooms (pwoerful single units uniqe to each race? eh, just ideas.

And 'Agents' (combat units that you control, but cost lots gold?)

 

[Tleno]

Yeah, I had few ideas too.
Dungeon lords may sell/buy time they need to build dungeon in exchange for wood.
Imps or some kinda like it. Dungeon lords can swnd small devils when heros are completing minigames.
Hunters. Well, thats the other name for Agents.
Traps that, when heros walk into, turn into cage with ferocious beast. Traped hero must kill beast to get out.
Magical mirrors (Another trap ^^) that cast havoc by messing up the spells. Like the one that polymorphs everyone who cast spell near it or the one that someway sucks you soul, stealing mana, or one with can clone (create illusions) minions who pass it someway? Then it would be cool if some here could take over traps using his magical power, using their power for his team...

You should have a fake treasure room, when a hero enters it they will be trapped and have to fight against some evil evil evil something to get out.

Wow, thats a ton of ideas, thank you guys.
Agents/Hunters are a good idea, but i think these units should be more of support-type, to fully use the "possibility to control it"
Minor bosses are already there, lvl 3 of dwelling, haven't noticed that yet ? They are almost useless now, I will adjust them someday
Imps: good idea, but so far the minigames aren't reward-balanced, I will need to do that first, then add imps
The problem with time is that heroes would bore themselves to death if DL spent some more lumber on it. BUT I got another idea, heroes will play minigames with 30 seconds pause between them, unil dungeon lords complete dungeon (with limit of 3 minigames or something like that). The more time it takes, the more rewards heroes will be able to get
Cage: interesting idea, I know there are some spells somewhere that allow this, but I personally have no idea how to seperate the "in cage" area, so that others won't be able to help him. It would be easy to do if other could attack the monster.
The other traps are interesting, I like the mirror image one
It is true that heroes should have some ways of dealing with traps, rogues skill will propably be enhanced to active, to destroy traps. Also, I want to add some items to deal with traps, the "conversion" of traps seems really useful
EDIT: fake treasure room could be useful, players tend to be less careful when they enter treasure rooms

Glad you like the ideas, and your ideas are nice, yes, the mini games are nice. also whaat happened to the boss getting hurt if his boosters are destroyed? i like that feature, it stopped you from spamming boosters. also could you add a new, more powerful door? very expensive, for rooms you don't want the enemy to get to or get out of, hehehe, I used the tunnel to lure some heroes into a guard room, then blew it up so they couldn't escape.

Traps could include:

Poison Gas - Random pockets of gas come out of vents in the room and give a moderate DoT.

Spikes - If you step on an invisible pressure pad spikes shoot up and deal large damage.

Darts - Same as spikes except a dummy casts a modified fan of blades fro the wall.

Soul Vault - upon entering you loose half of you mana and a 'spirit' is created that will attempt to catch you, if it does you loose 25% of your total HP but it is slow.

Graveyard - When you enter the room, you are swarmed on by skeletons, andcan be overrun easily unless you quickly turn off several levers, the bigger the room the more levers?

And how about this Room:

Dungeon Reactor: This building peridically casts a spell over a large area that boosts the attack rate of neaby allies, also increases regain. inside there is the building, but also several lighning traps, and mettalic objects so periodically, lighning flows through the whole room (whenver the spell renews?) this should be a later tier structure.

more trap ideas later.

 

[M0RT]

Wow, another load of ideas, where fo you keep getting them?
Gas trap with the DoT would be more useful as stand-alone trap, gives players another thing to dispell (not that anyone ever used dispell)
Soul Vault is interesting, it would be deadly to single-player melee hero. Build four of them and you won, no matter what. Needs some work, but it is indeed a good idea.
Graveyard: also interesting, imagine 20x20 graveyard with hundred of levers which all need to be deactivated This would be common problem with "the larger the better" rooms I guess
Dungeon Reactor is indeed a couple of good ideas put together. I was originally thinking of "Blacksmith" room, that would give some kind of damage aura, which could be applied to selected guard room.
The metallic object spawn is also interesting, so far there are only the pipes (maybe some sort of pipe detector would be useful, since it would allow DL to design the dungeon with that in mind.
I like the overall idea of the Reactor, it could be done as trap room without the aura, because with it, it seems a little bit complex, not leaving DL any room to "customize" the room.
Thanks for the idea, it will take some time to implement those, I am away for the weekend, so sometime during next week.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well i look forward to it

 

[Teldrassil]

Hey Morty Mort Mort me again, just thought I'd offer my services if you ever need any mapping help.

keep up the great work, it's looking good.

-Teld

 

[The World Is Flat]

Hows that map work coming M0RT? Are you going to implement a trap room? and room sizing?

 

[M0RT]

Actually, I got an idea for another map and I am stuck with that idea for a while( the Space Engineers, which already are in my signature), so I am stopping DL for about a week, until I finish some sort of SE alpha (it uses some simmilar systems as DL, I will post a thread for it later today)
Thanks for the offer, you are already helping with your ideas, and I am currently not looking for anyone to "do my job for me"

 

[The World Is Flat]

Alright, well, i hope its a good map, i'll be looking for the thread. also, if you ever have some free time to trigger a bossfight, i could use some assistance on my campaign: Sanity's Edge

 

[M0RT]

Well the new map's alpha is out (link is in my signature), it's another of my crazy map ideas, so be sure to check it out.
I am not sure how much "free time" I am going to have, how complicated would this boss fight be?

 

[The World Is Flat]

Well, it is pretty intense, so, if your interested, its the Haknora Bossfight in the link I provided you with. Checking out the thread now...

Check out this model. Could be useful.

 

[The World Is Flat]

This. Needs to be a futuristic version in sc2. asap.

 

[Tleno]

Futuristic? Maybe with secret agents and evil geniuses?

 

[M0RT]

I don't know... I am not that much into sci-fi. It would be tempting to create something like this, but it would need some original ideas (at least on the "heroes" side). I'll see if I can think of something. However I am afraid I'll have to create Space Engineers 2 first, that fits the theme at best (unless there are some technical diffuculties, maybe it won't be possible)

 

[Tleno]

Well that logical, first goes the space enineers 2. Then... hmmm... well, have you ever played Evil Genius? Yes, you could try to make something like that with SC2... talking about EG, you could actually immplement some kind of fan traps that blow you away from them.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Like tleno said. mad sientist with evil experimets ect.

 

[M0RT]

No that you brought up this, I can't stop thinking about it... damn you, I have to study, in 7 days I am doing finals....

 

[The World Is Flat]

Lol sory mate, but well, our ( ideas are so brilliant that its impossible not to leave you alone. want me to do any concpeting ^.^?

 

[M0RT]

Not yet, I will post my general idea within a week, then I'll need some help, since I haven't thought everything through. (I have those ideas "what it look like" and need some ideas on how to achieve it )

 

[The World Is Flat]

(i was jk. but WOOT)

Awesome. completely brilliant.

 

[The World Is Flat]

Hope you get more distraced soon.
