Topic Subject: Getting the Creative Jucies Flowing.
posted 03-30-09 10:33 PM CT (US)   
Hey thanks for reading.
Just something that popped into my head a couple seconds ago. on a previous site i was part of, a member wrote a story involving a bunch of the big time members...just incase you don’t see were I might be going with this topic:
I’m looking for people to volunteer to play a position in a scenario or campaign that I would put together, nothing state of the art, but still could be fun. Im asking volunteers because this forum doesn’t have a members list and I don’t want to get in trouble for using someone’s forum name without their permission.

Ok REALLY rough story Idea:
The city of Kings Haven has been at war with another city called Ensemble.
Until recently they were in a stalemate and neither could win a clear victory, then a betrayal from the inside gives Ensemble the advantage and King’s Haven is taken and the ruler imprisoned. A group of heroes, soldiers, and civilians escape before the city is taken and they leave with the intent to return.

From there im not sure it depends on how many want to risk there forum name in such a unorthodox adventure. What I do know is I want to have allies to be rallied/convinced to help, A rebel base for the survivors to train at, And a big slug out ending.
POSSIBLE IDEAS: some sabotage, assignations and spying…. possibly depending on how creative I feel.

Care to join in post these for me
Name: (just so I know what you want it to be, your Forum name would be best)
Side: (Kings Haven, Ensemble, Betrayers)
Unit: (if you some unit that you want your name to be attached to say so, try to stay away from siege engines)

WARNING some people might just get a cameo appearance while others get to hang around for a while.

That’s all I can think of…..Ideas feel free to post…comments post away….complete and utter scorn…well yeah you can post that too


EDIT: oh wow...this looks kind of like piece by piece...i hadn't even read that for the record. ah well im just looking for people willing to let me use their names in a map.

Give us a couple random screenshots of anything good you've made (or make something, either way), and if they're good people will sign up like crazy, believe me.

If you happen to have a horse in your scenario, you could name it for me

It could even be an evil mule if you want.

If that fits your story, sure. I am known to be crazy and I do tend to rant a lot.

Speaking of that, wheres the topic gone? I'm halfway through making all you guys' characters and the threads gone so I can't see what anyone wanted.

Tanks, you weren't the first one with this idea, there's been a lot of them before. Cameo-season was back in 2006 . Anyways, here's your thread. You use the search function and you'll find it.

Photobucket.com. Requires that you register, but it's by far the best image-uploader I know of.

Try reducing the file size. I noticed that my map shots are nearly 5 megs.

Go into Paint and save the Mapshot as a .jpg file. Works like a charm for reducing filesizes.

Horse-Men's Tribe
King's Heaven Farms
(EDIT: before anyone points it out I do intend to change the civilization names, i just haven't done that yet)

AND *Drum role* THE MAP!!!!
Mapmapmapmap

News Flash: the map is completed (obviously)and i've add more then a planed to. there is now some mini-quests to earn your allies support, there is also a mercenary camp now where you can buy squads or heroes . Im not done triggering it and tweaking it.

So what i need from the community is a few more names (your's, a friends, your great Aunt's third boyfriend's Brother...Im not picky)
If you would like to be a: Mercenary, Betrayer, Or Ensemble Warrior sign up...I've got enough King Heaven Champions thank you everybody

The screenshots look good, I especially like Popeychop's lair. But it seems as if there's a lot of wasted space in the large forests; was that your intention?
posted 04-25-09 11:15 PM CT (US)     33 / 35  
Nahh. thats part of my tweaking, if i can think of a mini-quest or something to add i can blow away part of a forest and instant have space...plus i can post a map with out big spaces in it with nothing

UPDATE: Mini-quests added, more landscaping done and a couple tweaks to make Ensemble a little more devious :-)
you know fun stuff
