I'm currently working on a little project for myself. There's no planned release or end goal.
The map is heavily inspired by the first undead mission in Reign of Chaos where Arthas has to infiltrate a human settlement/village and avoid the guards. But instead of a death knight fighting his way through with minions, the main character is a Hero banshee with invisibility.
It's a massive map and it'll be her job to find a way inside the capital city and bring it down from the inside with the help of the Undead Scourge minions already in the area.
After a few missions for the Scourge, she'll gain access to an ability that'll let her possess a specific human Hero (and eventually others), effectively replacing the playable character until the plot demands otherwise. The possessed heroes are basically just shells to let you inside certain areas posing as allies.
I've borrowed the idea of resurrection stones from the Orc Campaign in the Frozen Throne but modified it a bit for it to fit the theme of the Scourge. Instead it's a undead-ish well that'll bring her back to undeath should she die along her journey.
While I'm able to think up a lot of different missions and scenarios to put the main hero through, you can never have enough ideas. As I said, the map is HUGE so if you have a suggestions with a specific area in mind don't hesitate to share.
Below are some images of the areas I've created so far, but not yet finished. Suggestions on how I can fill them up to look more interesting are welcome.
Teleportation hub: here you'll be able to fast travel to certain areas of the map once you've unlocked them. Looks very bare at the moment.
Main area of the city where the'll be a market. The gate at the bottom will be one of 2-3 entrances to the capital city.
A section of the city where citizens have gathered to marvel at a boisterous adventurer.
A small island within the capital city where a group of mages are trying to gather up enough energy to wipe out the rising threat of the Undead Scourge in the surrounding area. Possessing as his apprentice, you'll gain access to the area and trap the leader of the group in a soul gem. Haven't thought farther ahead than that with this idea.
A deranged aeromancer has managed to trap one of the elemental lords within herself. This will be a boss battle of some sort. I tried my hand at texturing to fit the floating rocks of Outland to the Village Fall setting I have in my map.
TL;DR: Any and all ideas for my map are welcome!
