New Gladiators Idea

[jiffy_peanutbutter]

I'm thinking of a hypothetical situation where Arthas and the Lich King and all those undead people have taken over the world, and the only living people left are captured, or hiding away somewhere.

Arthas entertains himself with gladiator matches, pitching all of his living prisoners against varying armies of the Undead.

At the start of the game, you can choose your race: Orc, Human, or Night Elf. There are no enemies anymore, only the alive v. the undead.

After that, you fight, and after some level, your hero will go up a class. You will always have 2 choices when you rank-up, like a tech tree. For example:

Peon Goes to: Troll or Orc or Tauren
------------------------------
Orc Goes to: Orc Warrior or Ogre
Troll Goes to: Fighter or Shaman
Tauren Goes to: Bull or Spirit
-------------------------------
Orc Warrior Goes to: Chieftain or Far Seer
Ogre Goes to: Magi or Warlord
Fighter Goes to: Berserker or Marksman
Shaman Goes to: Witch Doctor or Channeler
Bull Goes to: Behemoth or Charger
Spirit Goes to: Spirit Walker or Tauren Chieftain

If you can make sense of that, I will be amazed...but, anyway!

The rest of the game goes like the normal gladiators game, with round after round of combat, until you face a boss, probably Arthas.

Suggestions? Don't take this idea.

Alternatively, Ogre could be replaced by tauren, but I just thought of this.

I've heard of this idea before, quite new really. You may want to put in more diversity in your selection. For example, troll and orc should be able to devide into three things, rather than two.

 

[jiffy_peanutbutter]

Yeah, but I wanna keep it simple for now, until I get it up and running. (Third option tauren?)

Ideas...

Militia Goes to: Human or Elven or Dwarf
------------------------------
Human Goes to: Holy Warrior or Captain
Elven Goes to: High Elf or Blood Elf
Dwarf Goes to: Engineer or Warrior
------------------------------
Holy Warrior Goes to: Paladin or High Priest
Captain Goes to: Knight or Champion
High Elf Goes to: Ranger or Master Swordsman
Blood Elf Goes to: Blood Mage or Spell Crusher (Upgraded Spell Breaker)
Engineer Goes to: Sharpshooter or Siege Tank
Warrior Goes to: Mountain King or Ironclad

Again, I could add a third option for dwarfs.

 

[GrandEnder]

You could have something like peon goes to; troll, orc, tauren
Miltia; Elven, Human, Dwarf
Night Elf; Satyr, Night Elf, Animal

 

[jiffy_peanutbutter]

Maybe Night Elf could be divided into classes of fighting, since they don't have many real "races" between them.

Weaponry, Magic, Tooth and Claw

Added third option for Human/Orc

 

[GrandEnder]

May want that to be Weaponry, Druid, Tooth & Claw.

Wisp Goes to: Combat, Beast, Druid
-----------------------------------
Combat Goes to: Ranged or Hunters
Beast Goes to: Sky or Ground
Druid: Claw or Talon
-----------------------------------
Ranged Goes to: Huntress or Deadeye
Combat Goes to: Demon Hunter or Rogue
Sky Goes to: Chimera or Faerie Dragon
Ground Goes to: Mountain Giant or Entking
Claw Goes to: POTM or ArchDruid/Claw
Talon Goes to: Hippogryph Rider or ArchDruid/Talon

Meh. I need some better ideas for this race. Its too boring.

 

[GrandEnder]

The same could be said for any race. Preferrably, use classes with big words in them, like 'Arcane Archon', 'GreatBeast of the Claw'

Wow I always wanted a gladiator map! Coincidentally, I watched gladiator last night and I was thinking of making a gladiator map! Cool!

You should make a special race like goblins and naga Give them better stats and skills but only one tech tree. You gotta diversify!

 

[Super-Sheep]

I've played gladiator maps and they all sucked (not Orc Gladiators), because they all were IMBALANCED. One hero had summon with 1000hp and 100 damage when other had 100hp and 10 dmg. >>

And what if you die?
Can't you be then raised to be undead and go to kill your comrades,
