Please read the rules.

Sounds good, but if you haven't started don't post in here, post in the idea factory.

If you have I would love to see some screens.

You should look into world editor unlimited... it would give you a bigger map size. And with all those options 256 by 256 may not be enough for the rpg to feel epic.

Yeah but it doesnt make it laggy

 

[Super-Sheep]

Yeah but it doesnt make it laggy

Does WEU Enchanger make maps laggy? ... Anyway:

How you gonna make 7 races to fit in 256x256 map, or do you use same starting location for all races?

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Really impress someone with it...

I see potential in it, but you will have to change it a lot for it to actually feel 'epic'. (Crap, now I am saying Elenai's words!)

Attached some screens of the crystalmist mountains.

Regular editor does fine. Reduced size of everything so it gives more space
for adding places. Whats special about the crystalmist mountains is that every so often the mountains will be covered in mist which spawns mist lurkers and mist creepers. The bandits activate an ability called cloak only during mist that turns them invisible.

And for the start...

Same start place. Every new player starts in prison for whatever crime they comitted. But each race isnt just left to that. Every race has special skills like curing, posion touch, fire immunities, etc

Sounds good, but if you haven't started don't post in here, post in the idea factory.

Its here becuase its in development

Interesting...

Stealing my ideas for dummy units for protection eh?

So good job really. If you need any help or anything on the project done please tell me.

This sounds very similar (in gameplay) to Morrowind, which happens to be my favourite game. I'll be waiting for this to come out.

256x256 is fine, you can always scale everything if you need more space though.

 

[valkemiere]

Is this map has spesific job for each race?
btw nice terrain anyway.

That sounded like a mod!Good work Gilles!

If you think its too small, a way to make the game feel like 480x480 only by using 256x256 could be:
Set all units/doodads/ranges/movespeeds etc etc down by 50% remember to make the models animations faster so it won't give the sloooow feeling, also remember to zoom the camera. Hope u might think of it lol ^^

The larger your map, the lower your doodaddensity. The lower your doodaddensity, the less detail in your terrain. I'd rather play a good looking map that is relativelly small than a large map with 2 trees every 100 m², all looking the same.

I hope you think the same.
