Ideas

[CyberDuelX16]

Well, there's plenty of "Physical" abilities.
~ Slash - Deals (xx) damage depending on the heroes str multiplied by (xx)
~ Trample (Mounted Unit/Hero) - Charges (xx) distance in the targeted direction dealing (xx) damage to all units in it's way
as for passive...
~ Inspiration Aura - All nearby units gain (xx%) damage, (xx%) armor and have an (xx%) increased regen rate

For strength heroes:

Grab and Throw (Target an enemy unit, and knocks it back, stunning it. Two possible variations: Either the unit is hurled in the air, dealing longer damage when it lands, or propelled backwards along the ground until it hits another unit, doing shorter stun damage toall hit units including itself.

Whirlwind Sweep (deals damage and knockbacks all enemy units in a short range).

This would be classified as superhuman.

Well im still open to Ideas...
I have decided to include a wandering merchant and terrorist/bandit attacks which will deduct(steal) your money
Cant put the project on the editor until mid-late november though

 

[cleavinghammer]

Doesn't have to be a throw, could be a strong punch or something.

 

[CyberDuelX16]

and terrorist/bandit attacks which will deduct(steal) your money

Wouldn't it be better if they just literally ATTACKED your empire?

 

[Nightblade]

They WILL attack.Sorry for the confusion.

 

[Nightblade]

Decided to include a new system called 'maintainance' for buildings and mechanical units.Inspired by the aircraft fuel system.
Building's mana will detiorate at an extremely slow rate.These detiorations will affect the armor and even the hit points later on.An Engineer will prevent/reverse detioration.
Maintaince (+Fuel for modern vehicles)Will also be denoed by mana.
For Ancient,Gunpowder and Solar Vehicles
Low Maintainance will decrease speed and armour.
Pls give your opinions about the Idea

 

[Ikithe]

Maintainence is good, as long as if I can always just have my workers auto-fix it.

 

[Nightblade]

You have a special type of worker,the engineer,to reverse the detioration.The idea is to basically keep players occupied and to make them think twice about using mechanical units

Updated game info

[Ikithe]

Have you thought about different kinds of game modes?

 

[Nightblade]

Mainly team (FFA,Free Diplomacy).There could also be No Colonists or No Merc mode

[shentong1932]

Where can i download your map or isit done yet?
I would like to be the beta map tester :O.

 

[Skycraft]

Sounds awesome, hope it all goes well buddy

 

[Nightblade]

@shentong
No,Im still recruiting a terrainer,but Ive started on some triggerwork and object editor work.
@stevenicks
Thanks for the encouragement dude!

 

[shentong1932]

Tell me when your map is really to test :O

 

[Unreal.]

For heroes you could make different classes based on Economy, Military (offensive and defensive 2 separate), Technology, or Population.

Economy Heroes could have skills like (x is any number your preference)
Income - Gives player x gold every x mins
Mercenaries - Hires x foreign mercenaries to fight for you
Banking - Creates an item using x gold which can be sold for x% higher price [obviously make the casting time really long]
Corruption - Weakens a foreign nation's economy (destroys buildings, steals gold, your choice)

Military I'm sure you can come up with, Attack skills for Offensive, Defense skills for Defensive (towers)...

Technology (You could also use research points instead as another type of "currency")
Research - Builds a research factory that has special upgrades (advanced towers, advanced economy, stronger units, military upgrades not found in regular buildings...)
Secret Laboratory - Builds a facility that creates monstrosities, basically giant creatures that where engineered through genetics or something... (uses upgrades from the research factory)
Binoculars - Vision is increased

Population
Crop rotation - Hero gives X population (like a farm)
Mass labor - X Peasants spawn at your town centers or castles
Slavery - Takes control of an enemy unit for X seconds

etc... just ideas, hope you found some of them useful.

@Unreal

These ideas are great,but I have already used them in some form or the other(Except for banking).They dont make sense to me as hero skills.

Thanks for contributing anyway,dude
