Other information

Various info The map is NOT protected and you may work with it if you want, but remember to GIVE ME THE ORIGINAL CREDIT Visit our forum at http://fotf.darkbb.com/forum.htm. Visit our website at http://wc3-fotf.webs.com/index.html. History You may wonder how I got the idea to create this map. Well, it was kinda rare. I was creating a small terrain map and I searched for good bandit models to add. But instead I found lots of other good models, so I got inspiration. And since my first map (Empire Builder Snacker) was one of the worst map ever created and too bad to fix it, I desided to make a new one. First version I played with my friend, Ean, was 1.10. And, I have to say, the map is much better than it was then.

Well...nice map! And here's a suggestion, if you really want to be creative, try making your own Race. I would help, but I'm working on my own map right now.

You could also try making your own items, if you haven't already.
Oh and here's a good idea:

Make secret caves where people can build and grow stronger, or just hide from the enemy.

You should also make custom heroes.

But anyways, keep going with it, I'm sure it will get to be pretty popular, if you do the right things.

not bad, but maybe too generic.. try to make something innovative, something that makes me think:"wow thats really something new, im gonna try it out with my friends".

good luck

Unfortunately, I'm not a good inventor ...

But I'll try, to make this map as innovative as possible!

But the farthest i came, was to make a totally new income system ... and it failed ...

 

[drhunter]

Oh and, Be sure to post screenshots every once in a while so we can see your progress!

If you post screenshots, we could tell you what you could add, maybe decrease, and more!

I don't really play such maps often, so I can't really comment on how the gameplay is.

However, you do need to import DISBTN icons. The imported icons show as green icons when I pause the game.

Also, the descriptions for the units are pretty good, but doesn't give much information about the unit itself. Perhaps you could try separating the tooltip into information and unit stats, with unit stats talking about the health, damage etc.
For example
The cavalier (Latin: xxxxxx), .... An ideal choice for the front ranks.
The cavalier has high health and defense, but only average damage.

Good luck

 

[Anachron]

The terrain is so simple you could add a terrain generator.

I'll do it!

I'm not really good at terraining, so if I want a really good terrain, I need to recrruit a terrainer to the map team.

 

[Snacker]

*BUMP*
Map updated, Empire of the Night completed. I will soon start with the last country, Far East Empire.

 

[SueyCider]

I really think you need some more definitive terrain such as a large road or something, both for passage of armies, battles and for aesthetics, the tileset needs some major variation it looks quite boring at the moment. Also, try clumping trees, different desities to create a strategic terrain.

I will ...

Oh, and I think I shall upgrade some screenshots, but not today, I'm sick of working for today ...

 

[Snacker]

*BUMP*
Updated to 1.10!
Terrain is finished, 4 more players added and triggers are almost finished. Screenshots of the new version is coming soon.
Oh, I forgot to mention the playable map area is about four times bigger.
EDIT: Also uploaded to epicwar, though still not enough quality to be uploaded here.

 

[drhunter]

Sorry, this doesn't concern your map much...yet...But on WC3, which Server(Or wahtever it's called) Are you on? I have accounts on multiple servers, and could provide extra ideas for your map.

Northrend, even though I also have accounts with same name at both America servers and Asia.

*UPDATE*
Posted 1.81, is it good enough to be published in map section?

 

[indomitable1319]

The terrain in the sand area seems a little too boring, based on the screenshots.

I haven't checked out the map, but I suggest you do some work on the terrain in the beach-area.

Noticed.

Oh, and I'll fix cinematics for 1.90, but it's not like the main point of the game.


So ... is it good enough for map sections or should I wait to 1.90/2.00?

 

[indomitable1319]

I'd hate to say this, but...
The version I have played is nowhere near good... To me. I could help you here. If you want to, not forcing you.

Well, what's so bad about it?

 

[indomitable1319]

Terrain, gameplay, buildings, typos everywhere.

The main base is quick to build but everything else takes 10 years?
The abilities aren't original, maybe you could use a coder or something like that.

So, exactly what should be changed to make it better? I don't just want to quit this ... I've been working since spring.
This is my second map, and it's MUCH better than my first (my first really sucked).

 

[indomitable1319]

I can help you, you know.

 

[Snacker]

I can help you, you know.

Well, what should you do then?

 

[indomitable1319]

I can help with triggering, spells, terrain...

Okay, as soon as I'm finished with 1.90, OK?
Oh, and you have to add your name to the credits by yourself.

 

[indomitable1319]

Sure.

 

[Snacker]

Sure.

Done.

You can get the file at original post in this thread or at epicwar: http://epicwar.com/maps/148600/

 

[indomitable1319]

Okay.

 

[Snacker]

Okay.

Are you working with it or not?
Oh, and a place in the credits for the one who writes an even better story!

 

[indomitable1319]

Can't tonight. Really packed my ass with assignments today.
I'll try tomorrow, after school.

Sure, but 1.90 is not necessarily the latest version then. Check for newer versions in original post before you start work.
Wait, don't start work until my new crew member has made some fixes.

 

[Snacker]

*BUMP*
If you give me a story better than the current one you will get a place in the top of the credit list.

 

[Snacker]

*BUMP*
Made a website. Even though it's on webs, I wrote the code by myself.

[mckill2009]

indomitable said he would fix it, but now his school is taking all his time.
EDIT: However, I wrote it on my to do list. I will do it when I'm finished with the vikings.

 

[indomitable1319]

If you're doing something at the moment, you take on the project right now.

And, the terrain can be held until the last moment anyway.

Sorry, my English is not so good, didn't really understand "If you're doing something at the moment, you take on the project right now".

I'm working on 2.00, and the main new feature (requested by the players I tested with) was a new country.

 

[indomitable1319]

It means that if you are working on the map, then just work on it. I won't yet, because the terrain can be done even at the end of the map.

Okay
Well, the project is temporarily closed, I only play Minecraft right now, not Warcraft III.
