[FrostyisdaKing]

Map Name:Siege of the Damned
Creator(s): Frosty_King(Me) with thanks to various other peoples
Stage:Still in Development


This map features an RPG/Aos/advanced intergame play/Tower Defense. With a whopping 28 custom made heroes, each with skills that add up to 50 levels, with colored tooltips and custom abilities, you'll have lots to look forward to. Another interesting addition to the gameplay is the use of elements. You can research an element which influences what type of towers you can build, can determine what kind of abilities your housing unit can use and if you choose a water hero with water researched your hero gets a bonus.

[ragingspeedhorn]

That's one hell of a long post. Seems intresting, good luck with the project.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

I don't want to be rude or mean or whatever, but how are you going to combine an AoS with a TD and an RPG? COuld you explain how you will make the transition from each type of game style?

 

[RedBlade]

I like the idea ! Can i help u in some way ? (apart from Jass)

 

[FrostyisdaKing]

RedBlade I"d love your help. I keep getting "helpers" and they all keep vanishing on me.... Heres my email [email protected] email me and i'll send you instructions.

I didn't feel like posting the storyline in my first post because i had alot of other things to write up . But here it is.

You are of either 2 factions, The Plague or the Holy Alliance. The Plague(Demon, UD whatever you wanna think of em as) have already heavily entrenched themselves in the lands north of a major capital capital city. In response to this threat the Naga has created a base while the human city Menorath and the Elven Outpost struggle to build defenses. The mages of Menorath, thankfully have built a shield generator that will defend the city and its outposts while defense towers and preparations are hastily being made. With such a shield up the Plague cannot make any sort of successful assault therefore they must take down the shield generator. IN a TD. THe faster the Plague takes down the shield generator the less prepared the city is for the AOS assault. However plague players do not control the spawning units but instead have towers which prevent tower camping and can aid their fellow creeps by means of buffs, auras, healing and the occassional attacking spawn. WHen the shield generator falls the TD clears and the AOS/RPG begins. Aos is self explanatory the RPG is also playable because you can complete quests and/or take over small neutral outposts that will aid your team substancially and there are good rewards if you choose to do quests instead of being in lanes. As I've already mentioned there are bonuses for choosing elements. I wanted to de-emphasize the use of items in this map. Too many AOS type maps are "item heavy" and as a result people win with items not their heroes. Some other good features each team has spell centers where you can cast powerful spells that disorient enemy forces and give you the push you need. More quests are availalbe for the Holy Alliance but THe plague has setup a portal which summons powerful demons that are not easily taken down. Each demon takes times to summon from the nether but the time it takes varies on how many summoners you have trained. This is alot but don't worry the map will be setup in a user friendly way as most of these will be brought up in parts as to not overwhelm the first time player. Well thats all i have to say.

 

[pandamanana]

sounds very interesting 4 a guy with 11 posts but w/e # of posts mean nothing...

but it also sounds very complicated... games like HosK turn the right off because they try to do everything at once and make things wayyy to complicated... then I play Footies ^_^

Nice idea though

Also for tha "whooping" 28 heros they seem very bland and un-original... kind of like Dota.

 

[FrostyisdaKing]

as i said i plan on making this map very user friendly, all of this will be broken into parts and as such players need only focus on 1 thing at a time. Furthermore, hero abilities may get changed or further altered, but give me a break, if i have to make like 125 abilities, making completely custom spells becomes a knife in the back. My map overall will be very enjoyable with the blandness of a reg AOS removed.

 

[RedBlade]

Will some of the heroe's spells tiggered ? If yes, i might help in this.

 

[FrostyisdaKing]

Yes some abilities are triggered some are not. I don't mind doing triggered spells but checking for leaks can become very tedious along with making sure they all work the way they're supposed to and lag due to trigger spells is not something i enjoy dealing with either.... But i would appreciate help in the ability department getting it all cleaned up and spiffy.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Thats Along post!! May I suggest you do it this way:

[broke= Abilty 1: Blah! Abilty 2: Blerh! Abilty 1: Baag!] Blah-Bage Dark Mumbler[/broke]-Int
[broke= Abilty 1: wack with cane! Abilty 2: Growel! Abilty 1: cripple!!] Grumbleing Granny[/broke]-Agl
[broke= Abilty 1: Nab! Abilty 2: nub! Abilty 1: n00b] Nublites[/broke]-str

Shorter,eh?

 

[RedBlade]

Yea. I think Blah-Bage Dark Mumbler. The best hero in Siege of the Damned. You know that his 1st ability Blah! deals 350 damage for every pixel on the screen ?
- bad quality joke eh ?

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

NAw, thats too imba, even for a ulit! It dose 1 damage for every pixel on the screen, MINUS His Int!



Lol,I was just giving a acample!
