Transport and export/import system?
So what depending on how much you sell effects the price of that item?

 

[AlterEgo]

Yep. You know, it's not a simple convert Wood => Gold or Gold => Wood.
You put the resources on a ship, a ship sinks goes to another place. The time it goes depends on the weather and the position of the final destination.
So much !@#$

 

[greasontim]

so to some degree some things like the game Tradewinds

 

[AlterEgo]

Actually it is my own idea^^

 

[AlterEgo]

Wearon System.
The most valuable thing in a map - amazing battle system.
A simple worker model has got about 50 animations, adapted for the weapons (total size of the model ~5 mb.). Every worker has a different wearons (nearly every.)) There are totally about 50 weapons, 5 different arrows for the bows.
Here you can see most of the weapons:

 

[Eldubs]

Its weapons not wearons, and your terrain is awesome! I see that your russian, and i can help you with the language if you want.

 

[AlterEgo]

Yeah thanks, fixed^^

 

[RedClaw]

is it me or the wepons from the mid are from wow?! they are wow rips!

 

[AlterEgo]

Some from the WoW, some from WC, some from somewhere else^^

 

[Eldubs]

Stop talking about wow! Now i want to play wow again : (

 

[AlterEgo]

Ooops, sry)
BTW, we have nearly finished simulator of the life and work. So the peasants work. When they're free they walk, they shop, they come into groups, they talk, they panic. Of course are lots of bugs^^
We're testing it now.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

A trading game, just what I always dreamt of, good job there
Maybe a multiplayer one once it's fully compelted.

 

[AlterEgo]

Multiplayer... We have to extract all the models to MPQ for players to download, cause map size >50 mb. Quiet a good idea, but it will be definitely laggy^^
And it takes too much time to do a multiplayer...((

 

[Eldubs]

To be honest if its not multi, il play it once or twice. But thats all. Its just not as fun without friends : (

 

[RedClaw]

wow rips are not alowded

 

[AlterEgo]

Huh, what?)
What do you mean

 

[greasontim]

you can use them in your map just don't share them with people.
Like me I have like 20 or so Icons all from WoW in my map. Though I have every icon from WoW but the new ones in Cata.

 

[AlterEgo]

Okay, but why?) ;D
So I nearly finished the landscape of the Demo version.
Unfortunately I have some problems with girlfriend, so I might be inactive.
But my team is still working)

 

[greasontim]

cause hiveworkshop don't like is why. So they put it as against the rules to do that. Just don't try and give them to people through a zip file or that on this site.

 

[AlterEgo]

Sorry for me being stupid, but you mean that I should give people the models which are on the screenshot?

 

[greasontim]

no don't give the models to anyone anything you steal from WoW, Guild Wars and that don't share with people on this site though this site.

 

[AlterEgo]

Ok. Another question:
If I take a model from WoW and retexture it. Does it break the rules as well?

 

[greasontim]

yes and no
the texture would be yours but the model would be stolen.

 

[AlterEgo]

Huh, it's madness!
Can i borrow at least "construction" of the unit from WoW?
Creating my own animations and skelet is... !@#$%

 

[greasontim]

do wat u want just dont share it if its stolen in anyway.

 

[AlterEgo]

Yeah I understood.

 

[RedClaw]

haha man i tryed to post like 20 rips here every day fail XD so don't bother to put a rip and say''I made it with my oun hands it took me X Weeks and X months'' and its not good to lie to modelator too.

 

[AlterEgo]

Wait-wait-wait. I didn't tell you that I made those models. I didn't!

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Honestly, if this turns out good, I won't care if it's multi or not, I'll play this like playing Sim City 3000, it looks promising.

 

[AlterEgo]

Thanks^^

 

[AlterEgo]

Update:
Total number of workers decreased (from 200 to 50), but now every worker is a character! Every worker has special model (~300 kb), special abilities & etc.

 

[AlterEgo]

 

[Miss_Foxy]

Looks cool, so... Will the game be like, in Warcraft III's style of gathering resources or your custom method?

 

[AlterEgo]

Lol, custom of course!
