Hello and welcome to Life of a Peasant Ultimate. The map is still in beta stage (below 1.0) so if you play it please report all bugs, ideas and suggestions you have to me, here at the forum or at Northrend.

What is this map about?

The map simulates a modern town with fantasy elements. There are three big powers in the city. The police, the mafia and the druglord. These faction are battling each other since their winning conditions needs them to kill, imprison or otherwisly challenge the other powers. Additionally there are 7 normal villagers. These villagers don´t need to get involved in the power struggle but there is a big chance that they will. Mafia and Police want taxes from these guys and the druglord wants to sell ... well ... drugs to them.
So no one is save.

For the villagers there are a lot of unique jobs with different things to do. You can be a garbageman or you can be the cryptkeeper, delving into dark magic. Or you just can go fishing. Do what you want it´s Life of a Peasant after all. Besides of money the jobs will also provide you with skills or unique items that will help you in getting mightier. And if you are bored you can always go to the east part of town and clash some gang members.

All in all LOAP Ultimate brings the loap-genre to a new level even in the beta stage and I got many comments on b.net that this is already the best loap-map out there. So go on, play and see for yourself. I wonder if you can find the hidden skills?

The map is regurlarly updated by me and optimized with Vexorians tool. As a side-effect you cannot open the map in the editor. Sorry for that.


Features:
---------

-Winning conditions for the big three that will result in a fierce fight over the town.

-Working techtrees and many units for the big three factions.

-A drug-addiction system that will ensure that your consumers will stay consumers.

-13 different jobs divided into T0/T1/T2 jobs.
T0 jobs are jobs that do not need specific stats and can be done by different people at the same time. Fishing is a good example.
T1 jobs are the basic jobs that you can do with your starting attributes if you chose the right hero. Example is thief, cryptkeeper or mailman.
T2 jobs are better jobs that will give you more rewards and more influence. You also need a lot of stats in order to take them up so you cannot do them from the beginning. An example of an T2 job is the doctor that can set the revive price for dead heroes and will also get the money they need to pay for reviving. Another T2 job is the assassin that will need to slay other peasants or even the leader of one of the big three in order to get money.

-Taxation system
Police and Mafia can set taxes from 0% to 5% that they charge from the peasants. The peasants can also deny to pay those taxes but that may result in cop/mafia getting very angry.

-a cool banking system
Every player can deposti his gold into the high or the low security vault getting 5/10 % interest. Each coin deposit will give the police money every minute. But if someone breaks into the bank and steals the coins he steals directly from YOU. So keep your eyes open and hope that the police is on guard.

-a stonepit in the prison
If you make the police angry he can throw you into the stonepit and force you to climb some stones until you earned enough money with it to pay for your crimes.

-a casino for the mafia to let the peasants gamble for their money. Will you play fair?

-learning by doing
While the big three get fixed skills every time they level up, the peasants start without any skills. They have the possibility to get skills from their jobs. For example mailman will give you a speed bonus when you deliver enough mails. And if you deliver even more mails the speed bonus will raise. There are also secret skills in the game and buyable skills.

-imported models for several units

Gurkengelee it seems you've put a great amount of effort into this map & I salute you to that. I see very little work in these clone loaps with nothing changed but models titles and backgrounds. I'm glad to see somebody that actually puts effort into a loap after so much time. This is how loap was ment to be not boring jobs with god who kills everyone or riggs friends. Good Job & keep up the well done work.

Hey many, many thanks for this words. I give my best and I am glad that you like it. That builds me up.

About a changelog I thought about that and earlier versions included one too. But seeing that the map is in beta stage and a new version can have somewhat small bugfixes or other misc changes I see it as too much hazzle to write them down. I will definitaly start a changelog when the version numbers are going above 1.0 but not earlier. If you are really interested I can post the changes I made here in the thread.

No problem Gurkenglee I ment every word. I've hosted about 5 times since yesterday & everybody loved it. The best job IMO is the druid lol I killed the cops entire army when I was helping Mafia with those 3 spells. Btw Gurkengelee you might want to add the cops & mafia another way to make money besides the peasants because if peasants favor one side (usually cops) then the other force is usually poor & defenseless that way their base can be taken over and can't do anything about it.

seems like its another loap

Well I really tried to make this map special and different from all the other loaps out there. Give it a chance please.

Btw Gurkengelee you might want to add the cops & mafia another way to make money besides the peasants

Well Police got the bank and Mafia got the Casino. Otherwise there are creeps all around the map to kill. I think about getting taxes from the normal peasants (the NPC one) through a reputation system. That would be cool I think :grin:

Edit: Version 0.47 uploaded. The Drug Lord and Godfather will now be automatically sended to police prison upon leaving. Additionally the drug addiction is now much more deadly since it will reduce your current hp by 1/2/3/4/5 % per second.

There are many "unplayable" places on the map (as the waterplant). It will be good thing to flee from big three at these places, ever without a car :grin:

Gurkengelee alot of roleplayers like setting their own name, so I think you should add a trigger like -set name (bob) so that they will be satisfied instead of calling each other by color.

Ok will be done in next version :grin:

Edit: ok 0.48 is out. There is now a -name command, different fishing schools so you can catch more valuable fish in more dangerous areas and putting druggy and the godfather to jail upon leaving now also works when the heroes are dead.

Cool, thanks for posting here skrab!
In 0.49 there will be more cars and sirenes then.

Edit: Well I see it seems not to be possible to let the lights flash while the car is moving. Am I doing something wrong
or is it really not possible?

Edit2: 0.49 is out. I imported the rest of skrabs models except the ambulance car which I have no idea of how to include it for the
doctor job. Maybe a minigame where you have to drive around and save neutral peasants from death or so. Later...
Additionally I made it so that the bank alarm will only go off when a hero tries to enter the vault. So your screen does not get spammed
anymore when there is a big robbery by mafia.
I also fixed the broken hotkeys for the account deposits/withdrawals and a bug with media job preventing it from being done more then
one time.

Hope you like it.

Gurkengelee has taken many loaps, or well hacked them(un-protected versions) and called them for his own, considering my map. My friend has found a hacked version, and it said "created by gurkengelee" saying that he took the map and made it. And gave no credit to the original creator. Gurkenlee, spend more time creating a map instead of hacking some one's hard work and calling it your own.

I really cannot follow you. I can´t remember "hacking" some map, calling it as my own. I just took this map and I give proper credit in the questlog to everyone who deserves it. But I am quite confused since I took the name "Gurkengelee" on all servers so no one else would have an advantage to call a map "made by Gurkengelee". Maybe I have fans :grin:

I've quick tested your map. A pretty good map overall, but there is one bug I quickly saw:
The policecars rotationg beacons does not keep flashing after you have loaded people into it, and then moves it around.

great map! best loap out there. the winning conditions are great. but the drug addiction at level 1 (1 hp/sec ) makes the game difficult at the beggining. at lvl 1 i think its should only makes some of your stats weaker. maybe its should decrease your attack 10% but if u take drugs your damage would go to its first value for some minutes.

keep up the good work!!
