Rpg styled custom melee

[Gespenst]

this is how i think my map would go:

You pick a hero, and the hero you picked spawns with a town hall of its race.

If its a creep hero he has a mercenary camp kind of hall.

They go out and level, and pick a place to base. there are a few scattered towns. the bottom portion of the map will be a sea and the top part land, as well as a few main factions, Bandits/creeps, Humans/Villagers/Living Races, and Undead/Demon.

What hero you pick influences which faction you are initially allied with and what activities you can do.

Some activities would be Raiding merchant caravans, Defending a village from undead, Raiding a village, Exuming corspes, Etc.

Tons of custom heroes and special Systems.

Post reply what you think and what you suggest.

1- find an alternative resources-gathering system, if you don't want your beautiful forests to be shaved

2- Try to balance quests for each faction... Or you could activate every 2 minutes a universal quest and who completes it first gains something, like "there are five golden murlocs hidden in the map, who kills the most of them will earn <value> gold"

Response to 1: tree and gold mine respawn

Response to 2: The random events not only include "resource" quests but also some that spawn computer controlled players that attack sertain races Ie: holy crusade that targets demon and undead and certain creeps but is nuetral to mauraders and allied to "good" races, and a Unholy crusade that attacks living races and is allied to dark/evil races, excluding raider races.
Some events that are resource will be highly scrutinized and tested for balancing. it will be a fun map.

it sure sounds sounds fun! (but very difficult to make!)

Acually, ive been messing around with the editor for a few months now and i know how to do most these things, even though i suck at terraining.

Ive been recently caught up in Dungeon Keeper 2 right now so its postponed.

I'm quite good at terraining. Tell me how the map should look like and I could try to help you
