Well i am Pretty much a Pro at Terraining so i can do that for ya

That's interesting
I got very little time atm gotta go school etc imma anwser more when i come back.

Okai so ive never seen any of your work yet, so i can't guarantee to implement what you will make in the map .
However if you do good, you'll get a special thanks in the credits .

Now here's what im gonna do:
Ill give you the terrain basis i have at the moment, without anything else than the terrain. Doodads will be up to you.
Then ill juste copy-paste it back to the map.

Here's what i need it to look like, compared to the one i have at the moment:
)-Same overall organisation, with a large "island" in the center, with the same room it already has.
-Keep Big towns and villages approximately where they are, so the COLOSSUS of that corner still finds the villages first, then the town, then the center.

)-Where the colossus lands, it should be normal scorched plain (see tileset), i will trigger a vast scorching over it
-The ground level should raise smoothly as you get closer to the center (using raise tool), with a brutal difference (using cliff tool) when you reach the towns, and another one when you reach the center, so its basically 3-leveled.
-Water should come out of the well, from waterfalls falling into 4 small rivers that drop into the circle of rivers that surrounds the middle island (if possible, i didnt find out yet how to do that).
-Then from this circle rivers randomly continue, reaching the edges of the map. This path is totally your fantasy.
-You may link the big towns to the center, over the circle of rivers, with bridges.

)-The tileset used (contains 14 tiles atm but you may put any number you want) must contain village/wild tiles, aswell as majestic city tiles, including buildable ones (or, just tell me how to make them buildable).
-Also a few scorched earth ones for the zones where the Legion's creeps spawn.

So, are you up for the challenge ? You may take all the time you need.

ok i can do that =] but im gonna need the map

Ive made it so you can mess with everything in the terrain, with the current tileset as free bonus without really having the map.

HF!

Sidenote: Ill be working my exams on the upcoming days and thus i will come by here less often. I still will check it from time to time, but you shouldnt worry about how long you work on it. I know its quite large.

Terrain needs a little fixing, also maybe some more units (or maybe unit upgrades?) for the colossi.

hmmmm.. to be completely honest i think that the first thing that needs editing..just my opinion ftw...is the speed that the colossus moves

also some more units for colossus..

sfe

Hm. Faster or slower movement?

Also, specters are good anyway imo, i wouldnt need any other units ^^

i think faster cause otherwise you could surround him with them knight things and he would be pretty much screwed over tbh... but i supose you could have some kind of speel that lets him uberspeed for 30 secs or something.

I'm thinking about the speed boost thingy, but i've already decided to give them a small jump feature to get in or out of battle at will.
There should'nt be too much time before i actually implement it.
I think right now i'll go and make the next version, with improved scenes overall.
*updating the to do list*

The speed boost thing should make it better also what about some kind of short avatar?

in order to fight out of a circle that ur surrounded in?

sfe

sorry about that

for some reason my computer randomly opened the web addy 3 times so thats the reason for the triple post sorry.....


EDIT by Dj0z: fixed.

Well i think the avatar will be unnecessary, because the jump spell will give both the extra "speed" and the ability to get out when you're surrounded

ur prolly right but its just a suggestion

ur the maker not me

i think u could use a lot more evolving trees for infernals. i could give u some ideas. (lots of different evolution trees=replayability)

i didnt see that on the poll so i didnt vote.

This is old.

Yea u're right burn. Can i let you handle the closing, and the re-creating of an updated one?

@Ancient_Doom: yea thats true, but:
-the more evolutiosn tehre are, the more numerous models i need (those are kidna rare)
-i have quite a HUGE number of spell slots in each colossus, thanks to the spellbook system i made for CC ^^
that allows each type of them to hang around with about....... 25 type-specific spells, no to mention the basic spells any colossus has (like the heal, the jump)

This alone makes room for alot of "spell techtrees".
Even though i'm not exploiting it yet, i can (and will) also add level requirements, and "you must have this base spell to learn this advanced one" requirements leading to more specific spelltrees, Inside a one Colossus type.

So don't worry about this kind of replayability, i think i thought ahead on this part of the gameplay

If you have other ideas, thou, you can always PM me those.

Oh I'm so sorry I just saw this
I'm closing it.
