The Highland Fight (Placeholder Name)

[Durgon]

Alright so after about two months of planning/Sketches/Notes ive finally decided that I am going too try my hand at an AOS Style map called The Highland Fight. (Placeholder Name) Currently im doing a vanilla version of the game using only Reign of Chaos since my TFT is acting strangely. As of right now I will not list the hero abilities because the Reign of Chaos editor is lackluster in that area.

Firstly I'll say ive been fiddling around with the Editor for a few years casually and ive got the hang of mostly everything except the very complicated triggers. I decided too post my work here just too see what the general populace would think of the idea and I am encouraging you too give me constructive critisism.

Right now I will just start with the Highland Heros, later on I will post the Demon Heros,then the Highland Units,and then the Demon Units.

Although the story is rather straight forward there is an bit of deep personalities that I am trying too get into the game I guess you could call this an RPG/AOS. In a nutshell The Highland Fight takes place in Scotland (Way back in the day), a power hungry Druid named Ultan communes with dark forces who feed him Warlock energies. After williningly giving up his position as a good guy he ventures into a dark forest of the Highland region where he summons a horde of Demons bent on making the area a sanctuary for themselves. However the Good guys wont let this happen, the Clans in the area make a temporary truce (Possibly Permenant, Hard times give you lifelong friends). The Allied Clans must now stop the Demonic Invasion from consuming there beloved land and people.

General Ideas
-RPG Elements (Quests/Item Rewards)
-Scripted Events (After certain objectives have been met events that are good for you or bad for your enemy will happen too sway the tide of battle)
-Character Depth (I just dont want this too be a random killing spree get too the castle destroy it and win map, I want a little Depth too be in the Characters)
-Duel Event (Challenge Players too a duel and relocated too Duel Corner)
-Cinematics (Im hopeful for this)
-Strategic points (Basicly if your units are in a certain area like a hill they will recive certain bonuses)
-Unit Upgrades (Too increase teamwork and resource management the blacksmith will have upgrades so that you can increase the armour and defense on your units out in the field)
-Unit Training (You can hire bodyguards and special characters too help you in the field)
-Unit Towers (Kinda stole this from TOB I liked the idea tho. Basicly you can build that units Tower by a Unit Spawn building and it will make that unit in the future waves)

hmm the scottish didnt beleve in demons.... but spirits on the other hand... if your going to make it realistic how about putting in a jackabite warrior a highland noble and maby change the names of the druids to glen wanderer or something a bit more scottish... maby change the units to highland rabbles and so on right now it just seems extreemly british oh and ironsword isnt a scottish name try name him after a scottish sword if you do ironsword is british try flamberge srry about doing this my family is very scottish.... oh and PUT THE ENGLISH IN AND LET US DESTROY THEM!!

 

[Durgon]

Yeh my dad lived in Scotland so im first generation Canadian. The story line isnt really focused on what the scottish belived in but what happens when Demons suddenly come into the Scottish Realm. As for the names I used them from a Celtic name generator besides the Ironsword part I just kinda got lazy and used that as a Placeholder. My friend and I who are working on the map were thinking of adding some English in as a random event, but the timeline of this battle and when the English Invade is tough too do without making it completely random.

Basicly this happened before the Scottish really knew about the English, but its still probably gonna happen. Like I said this is just a small area of the Highland Region with maybe like 4 Clans that were fighting before the Demons showed up. The Demon free scotland was invaded and they used the power hungry Ultan too finally enter the area. Sorry if its not super scottish but im trying too add a bit of my own ideas and trying too keep it as close too Scottish ways as I can.

By the way its great too know theres another person of Scottish Blood on the forums!

 

[EviL_BuddhA]

what clan are u from back in scotland? im from clan fraser we have a crappy maxim thoe "all my trust is in god".....

 

[Durgon]

Clan Middleton (Forbes). Ive done lots of research on them and Scotland whenever I can. I must say our peoples history was pretty kool. Especially how we beat the English haha.
