History Gameplay The Map Information

History

A keep was built upon the miraculous resting spot of the last stand of the recent war against the Burning Legion, and was founded by Azeroth's greatest Heroes in the hopes to produce some order out of the chaos that ensued after the conflict's eventual resolution. This keep became a great school for the gifted, a secure location for the land's most dangerous artifacts and criminals, and most importantly; a means to unify all the lands. This keep became known as Loraden, The Wizard's Keep. Loraden Keep- the new beacon of hope within Azeroth... No matter what trouble that will ever befallen the lands, Loraden's Mages, the elite Wizard's of the Halomor Order, will be there to keep peace. After ages of training and study, these warriors heed their calling wherever their destiny has lead them.

Gameplay

Initialization... Begins as you pick your race than subsequently your class. You are a student of Loraden, and working your way to become one of the Elite Members of the Halomor Order. Race affects what skills you're inherently talented for. Class affects which school of magic you're naturally attuned for. Schools Of Magic [r] Geomancy Biomancy Mysticism Alteration Conjuration Illusion [c] Manipulation of the elements. (Ex. Fireball.) Manipulation of the body's features. (Ex. Recover.) Manipulation of magical properties. (Ex. Shield.) Manipulation of physical properties. (Ex. Spikes.) Manipulation of dimensional objects. (Ex. Spawn.) Manipulation of the body's senses. (Ex. Blind.) Classes Of Mage [r] Fighting Defending Tactical Sorcerer Mystical Crafting [c] Has a brave nature and prefers up close fights. Has a careful and tough nature in battle Gifted with intelligence and fights with their head. Especially attuned with quick mindedness for spell weaving. Wise and knowledgeable Mage-type that excels at control. Practical type mage that boasts creating advantages. Objectives... Will vary according to game mode. To increase replayability, all modes will have a random aspect. Game [c] Modes Quest - Alliance - Arena - The Halomor Mage's job is to serve the public. You and your colleagues made a bet- who can finish the most requests first. The object of the game will be to uncover a quest chain and accomplish it first. Each player will be given a random quest chain. Once again doom befalls Azeroth. But with the Halomor Order- this time the threat should be averted early. The mode will enable all players to fight against a similar varying goal as one team. The lands are safe, but boring. Be the first to win the new, Halomor Mage tournament. This mode has each player battling against a PvE or/and PvP ladder, perhaps a team mode will also be available. Dynamics Hero Growth... Will be mostly according to items found and spells learned. Actual hero levels will be sparing. The Loraden Keep's Academy has schools within its walls which will enable most of the learning/growth process. Battles... Will be more determined by skill and knowledge of spells. Stats won't be the only deciding factor.

The Map

Summary The map mostly consists of the interior of the immense Loraden Keep. The Keep has 4 main areas; The Grand Halls, The Residency Area, The Barracks, and The Arcane Sanctum- all of which is connected in a deep underground. Although the map is dominantly the Keep- there are several areas accessible outside the town. 1st.) Main Entrance/Grand Halls -Includes prefects offices, kitchen, dining hall etc. 2nd.) Residency Area -Dorms, shops, etc. 3rd.) Arcane Sanctum -Academy, Vaults, etc. Early Screenshots

Thanks! I feel this may be my best Idea yet- so I'm going all out with the terrain. The interior is going to be IMMENSE!

 

[Catch_ya]

Sounds really good. Good luck

When you say "Units/Abilities", do you mean that the person responsible for that will create the units and the abilities, or it will just start editing units in the Object Editor. Because, if it's the first, I'm interested

Well I figured its a good category. I mean units is too small and abillities is too small- so i just put them in one category. Hopefully I'll get more people on one topic. I'll actually be working with all areas of the map (obviously) but I will also do work on all the areas as well.

Thanks! I have like every doodad model on the internets. Who knows where I got it from.

It is a World of WarCraft rip from XGM.ru. The tree is from Eversong Forest.

The terrain looks very much incredible, as does the gameplay. Good luck.

 

[Solaris]

Looks amazing so far and its a really good idea,
I like the idea of different schools and classes of magic.
So there will be several possible combinations that
it won´t get boring.

Thanks! Wait till you see the interior than. It will be much more amazing. Also, the exterior isn't done either. xD I never was able to download much (i anything) from that site- so I know its not from there.

Thanks for the positive feedback. Terrain is my best trait anyway... its what I do. I just need some trigger fellas.

Well you need to find a skilled and committed triggerer for this project. I can't wait to try a Beta or early version of this, although i'm not expecting that anytime soon hehe.

Keep up your good work/dedication and find a group that can do like-wise.

Ha- that's the hardest part. Finding the skill out there... xD

And heh, I wouldnt make a game that I wouldnt want to play. So I can't wait for a beta either. although ill know all its secrets xD
the best part would be seeing other people's strategies

Very nice, I see the staff is growing larger yet you still need more help. Did you try Project Recruitment?

it's always hard to spot the talents, but if you haven't already, do what our dear prince said, with some screen shots and something of what you got on this page. I bet you ... what can one bet on THW?... i bet you a rep that you are gonna have five triggerers willing to do this... unless you have done it already... just forget the last few lines...
