Gotham City

[l33t5up4h4x0r]

This is my new map, I already am in Alpha stage before accidentally formatting my (good)hard drive due to windows displaying the wrong drive letters in command prompt. This is a set back, but at least I know my direction already.

This wont be the most innovative new map, but it will be an interesting single player experience based on a childhood dream. Later stages might incorporate multiplayer.

I like the idea. The over triggers required to do those things sounds simple enough too. Let me know if you need help. I can do some jass.

 

[Sephiroth74]

I like that idea alot, only thing is, what would civilians do?

Civilians are innocents, not involved in fighting, kinda of people.

 

[Renzo]

lol batman.
Intresting, but that would take a crapload of work with all that terraining and you would need models i presume?.

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

Could make basic items just abilities batman has, and item slots could be for anything else.
Also in beginning should be able to pick wich batman costume you want in like his "room" of costumes.

 

[l33t5up4h4x0r]

civilians do nothing! they run when being chased around by baddies and your inability to "save" them will cost you. In the spirit of true comic justice, the civilians are only able to assault you, the hero, if your reputation goes too low. So imagine all npc's hostile to you...damn! special npc's will be neutral passive though, including newspaper people you can buy back reputation from.

So the goal of the game is capture all 10 super villains or kill all of them. Super villains die permanently so most people would take the easy way out and kill them and just buy back some rep. To fix this, super villains are equipped with ankhs of reincarnation that makes it balanced to keep em in jail on a high chance of breakout or kill em over and over.

You will see some civilian action in the game though, i recommend checking out the backroom of the geisha house)

Terraining is about 25% complete.

I don't think it should just be batman. This map could be applied to a number of heros. To solve it just make it the justice league, that way you have your choice of heros and a wide variety of villians to fight with the basic same principal.

 

[Rakdos Defiler]

then you would need lots of custom models, and much bigger map for other cities, not worth it. Maybe a few heroes that would make sense together in the same city. But not the whole justice league.

Good to me! I think it would be great, but it will be hard to make it multiplayer later if you decide so! Having 6 batmans would be a little stupid!
