I have a small suggestion about your jobs. Perhaps jobs shouldn't only be based off intelligence. Like lets say you are working in a lumber mill, or ship yard. Those would require strength.

I like that idea, but I don't want to make it feel too "advanced" and make players feel like such a task isn't worth doing. I'll still try out the concept, though. Nice suggestion.

 

[_lycan]

i support maddeems idea

 

[Angry Murloc]

The map was updated, and different jobs require strength and/or intelligence statistics.
It took a little while to re-trigger it, but I got it to work without bugging.

This looks fun and rpg like, which is awesome.

I think you lack in description though. Not sure if this is an update or anything, but while some can catch on the name of the map and guess whats it about, having no small text about what the map really offers is poor description.

Still, looks fun will download.

Oh, alright. With the next update, I'll try to explain the map better, instead of just telling the features.
I'll probably show what can be done, and with that, screenshots.

An example short text

"Catapult Wars is a [X] and [Y] map type, resulting in [A] number of players battling each other using war machines. This is a skill shot based [X] map type, and players win by doing [N] and [M]. Players buy items, upgrade skills, level up and practice team play and cooperation. Game has [X] game modes."

Note that the X,Y,A,N,M are just made up variables that you need to write. Its just an example, but its short, descriptive, rallies the point of the game, number of players, game modes and what they need to do to win. In my opinion you lack just this for a great description, because you already put lot of effort in the detailed description.

Epic map. Uh could I suggest that you disable the -control command? Control points are bonus income to the person who puts their totem there. So since it is a bonus, I personally feel that only those who find it deserves it. If you put -control command, it does not serve it purpose as a bonus income, of couse if it is your intention to not serve as a bonus income, then you may feel free to ignore it, though you already could just ignore whatever I say as this is your map. Anyway it would have been much better if you include custom models and stuff. But nonetheless, nice map. Keep it up.

I just played for some time and it turned out to be pretty comfortable.
But I found the jobs at the harbour and bank pretty boring (just patrol some points) and as school principal I didn't find any bullies at the pinged position.
And I found a bug: It says you need 15 intelligence to become lumberjack, but I had 21 and it didn't work (nobody else had that job at that moment).
And another one: The game chose somebody else has host >.>

I guess it would be nice if you added some random events, like an outbreak of disease at the harbour (mb with zombies) that draws the attention of the police and doctors.
Or some outlaws running over the city.

Overall nice map, it's just a problem that most players leave when they don't have a specified objective (it's more a problem of the genre though, I experienced the same in my map).

 

[MR.Tricky]

This is the Best Life Of A Peasant Map I have ever played. because it really is a role-playing map.
Here are a few suggestions from me:
There Should be a jailbreak button on each jails that can be stepped on by units or players because i get to jail a lot of times (because i love killing the cops)
At college there should be 2 players that can take the same course at once and there should be tests like a pop up will appear then ask a question and you have to answer it.
A job that requires agility(like thieves) would also be ok. And a job requirement that requires 2 or more stats.

Bug(or something)
A player got killed and he never revived(he told me that his character got killed and it does not revive/or unclickable, he also told me that he did not pay,idk what he did not pay,medical fees?)
Oh yeah and sometimes when i were walking and i was wanted(for killing a cop) i just suddenly get arrested. And there are invulnurable Official PoliceCar/Helicopter roaming around what are they for?
There are also invulnurable inactive non moving police cops beside the entrance of the mafia base. they don't move even if i kill a cop or a player in front of them.

Again, Awesome loap map

BTW is this your map?

 

[Sky Lancer]

Bugs :
With the use of Age beacon, it's possible for a player to have more than 1 job as it remove the employed skill... Wouldn't be fun when one have control over all police, mafia, drug barn right
Some shops can still be use at night with the help of a helicopter like the armor shop and library.
Suggest:
I think the hero should have 1 or 2 skills depend on the age, or something to make them difference.
Since all hero are melee, using guns look silly. Maybe add a limit to 1 weapon at a time and a bonus to range depend on weapon being used....
I don't really understand how the gym thing help, maybe you could add an explain to how fast or effective those training are.
The bigger house should give more food and train stronger unit than small ones.
Robbing banks are so easy, i robbed 160k gold from a player and he rage quit... how about make it so that the money can only be robbed from the bank that the money is deposited or make it rob 1/4 or 1/5 the money each time and a protection time.

 

[MR.Tricky]

i agree with skylancer for having skills, maybe you get skills depending on how well you do on your job or how high your stats are or a skill shop that requires * attribute points.
And maybe a way to customize your character like a helmet attachment or something. that would be like awesome in so many ways.
Also a way to marry a wife/husband that is not a player but it is not as benificial as a player one.
And robbing the bank kinda sucks there should be a code that you can get if you use steal on a cop near the bank.
And why do you need to go above the church? there should be other places other than the area near the church.
And the thing that corrupt polices sells, i think it does not work because i bought it and i pickpocketed a peasant then police chased me.
And i was carrying illegal guns and the cops doesn't mind.

 

[Angry Murloc]

I'm sorry for not updating this for a while, as I've been busy with many things. However, I have been working on fixing bugs, and I'll try to get an update out soon.
Bugs I'm Working On
- Minor issues. An update will be released soon.
Fixed Bugs
- Players can steal gold from other players and won't be punished with the "Police Badge" item.
- The revival system has been reworked, and players simply have to use a Resurrection Stone. This prevents player heroes from being lost in wait commands.
- The bank is harder to rob again, and players can only steal 1/3 of what is in a player's bank account.
- Only one player can use a class at a time, and items won't reset. This prevents players without the correct prerequisites from griefing by purchasing classes they cannot take, forcing other players to wait through a cooldown. If a player wants to see how much longer a class is, they will need to type "-time".
- The name might not be appearing because it is probably too long. This will be fixed in the update.
- The battlegrounds item system has been fixed. Items can be purchased in the next version.
Updates
- Only one weapon can be held at a time.

Also, would anybody like having an optional "tutorial video" that can be skipped, that explains the elements of the game?

I'm a HUGE fan of LoaP maps. I collect them all and play them. Love them so much. From the description, this map sounds really unique and fun. Really wanna play it, but when I download it and put it in the map folder, it doesn't show up in game.. Anyone know why it does that?

 

[White Flare]

Just played an hour on solo to test it out and here's what I have to report.

There seems to be a glitch with the drug barn, I can have 2 units with inventories right now to it, but it tells me no valid patron is nearby.

Also it would be nice when doing college courses if you put a timer to show how long they have tell the hero comes back. I took the numbers on a timer for you
4 hour class took 1 minute and 20 seconds, or 80 seconds.
2 hour class took 40 seconds.
So every half hour of class is 10 seconds and you can apply the math for each class.

Battle points seem to have no use. Either a battle shop to spend your points on either gear or cosmetic items (guy walking around as a battle golem for 1000 battle points would look a little intimidating) or a scoreboard for showing off your points to see who has the most.

I wont bother reporting on anything the other people have said, so that's about it for now. Keep up the good work =)

Some Suggestions

Sprint shouldn't be based on Intelligence (More Intelligence = more mana = longer sprint). I have about 60+ Intelligence at a game, and my hero keeps sprinting on for like, 5 minutes. Maybe Strength/2 for duration, and Agility *3 for MS bonus....or something like that.

I know cars can't run without turning the engine, but it's not...realistic enough for cars running in the street without nobody actually driving it. And also maybe warn players to get a Driving License before buying a car in the Vehicle Dealership, not in the Driving License shop.
(If you can put also a 20-Intelligence limit on buying licenses)

A tutorial would be nice for newbies out there.

[chamski]

Hi. Im new in the topic of rpg maps for W3, but i tried your map and I must admit, you did a great job. But I have a question. Is there any possibility to save game in your map? I tried to save my progress but can't. Any idea why ?

 

[diedemon]

same with me, i cant save. I play with a lot of people from my class so it woud be nice to save so we coud continue this. And tutorial video for my mates coud help them figure full potential of map. and Plz pm me how to become dracula ( if you want ) by the way greatest map i evar played

 

[killer_skanz]

The best LoaP map I ever played, my cousin always play this one with me and some other guys. There is a bug, My job there was a Police Officer, and I entered the circle for the Casino Manager job and it just said killer_skanz is now the Casino Manager, I own the casino, the towers around and the Gold Mound.

 

[killer_skanz]

Also, there is a glitch (if it is not, just tell me), My helicopter entered the Heroes only zone (where the battlegrounds is located) using the side of the map.

 

[OmNomNom]

More suggestions for this map.

Suggestions

- The "Rest" ability should disable movements of the player, and the sleeping effect (Zzzzz...) on top of the player's head should be removed after the skill is done (Maybe also add an increased health and mana regeneration when activated inside the player's house).

-If you want to, I suggest that players should have some kind of hunger bar which can be replenished by buying food (when it's depleted, the player will receive a negative buff/die). This will force players to have a job in order to survive.

-Income received from income-based jobs such as the Mayor or Governor should be given per day or even per two days instead of per sec. Players will value their money more.

-Please make the Farmer's job more interesting, like adding a plantation system with different price for each crop, etc.

-The doctor should receive money from the medical bill if someone uses the Resurrection Stone. The same might also go to the medic-kits; the doctor should get the profit from them.

-Add a Cancel button on the attribute dialog.

-I've said this before, but the sprint ability shouldn't be based on mana (Intelligence).

-I've also said this before, but cars shouldn't be able to move unless the player gets in.

-Please make driving license requirement for riding horses unnecessary (riding a horse without driving license will issue the player a warrant).

And lastly, what's the point of having Strength in the Woodcutter job if you have someone to do it?

 

[fishflakes19]

I wonder if this map is still on progress
and btw
I found how to be the angry murloc, please change it because people will spread the word
