Ok, so I've got a little map coming along which i've so far called Mage Wars. Simply put; its because you get to choose a mage- and fight other mages.

What I want to know in this thread is; do i go ahead? Does this concept interest anyone? At all? If not, why? What can I do to make it more interesting?

The Concept/Idea
Step 1: Intro regarding mage choice, spell system and so on.
Step 2: Choose a mage - Current choices are;
- Blood Elf [Priest Model]
- Human [Prophet]
- Orc [Shaman/Warlock/Hermit, probably Hermit in the end]
- Night Elf [Druid(Talon)]
- Undead [Necro]
- Troll [Dark-High Priest]
- Naga [Siren]
- Nerubian [Doesnt matter much]
- Draenie [the purple one]
- Fel Orc [Warlock(Fel)]
- Tauren [Spirit Walker]
- Furbolg [Shaman]
- Eredar [Sorcerer, red one]
This comes up on a two-paged dialog, completely working other than a Random feature which I cant quite work out how to make. Choosing will spawn your character in a; at this point blandly terrained Library Ruin (Flooded Out, more like a Bog now). There will be a Potion Merchant, mabye two. At first, there will only be a 3-life system. Later on i may opt to make more choices, random spell mode, 10 life mode so on so forth. Spells spawn in the library, NOT around/outside it. They spawn as tomes which apply the spell to your [NON-HERO] Mage. The Potion Merchant will also sell Tomes of Retraining. Currently im working on the intro cinematic, the units are all equal and thus fair. I dont intend to go any further without decent approval/interest.

Thoughts?

sounds super fantastic! but i think the shaman model is the coolest orc caster! if you make this, i'd play it, because it'd be like some other mage games, only cooler!

Lothe

lol awesome, i think that if the map goes far enough, ill poll for skin changes.

King Stubby

hehe, and i like the furbolgs! seriously, who woulda thunk it?

Lothe

I woulda thunk it

Because i did

King Stubby

it would be cool to have something like abominations with magic wands and robes!

Lothe

ooooh lol, sorry stubby- i think not : /

But! You've given me thought of a new mode :O

Racial Spells!
Racial Spells will have 3 levels, level one for your character is aquired once you reach 15 kills, level 2 at 40, level 3 at 75

BElf - 1: Sunwell Draught [Heal]
2: Phoenix [Summon]
3: Spellsword [Transform]

Hum - 1: Element {Water/Fire/Earth} [Summon]
2: Blizzard [AoE]
3: Divine Shield [Buff]

Orc - 1: Bloodlust [Buff]
2: Far Sight [Vision]
3: Soul Maul [Summon]

I'll keep making more if it sounds good, Sounds good?

King Stubby

you could give em giant hollow longs for wands and eventually with my crappy model skills i can get an abomination sized robe! what about THEN?

Lothe

Still no im afraid

Im not sure ill even continue with this, hw is piling up and there isnt much interst.

King Stubby

that's how i felt too. finish one part at a time, you'll get motivated again!

Also- homework first!
