Now thats out of the way, ideas! Ok, this is what i think would be a cool idea: (Heroes section) (Myth Section) (Men Section) I think there should be 5 different types of quest: I think that the good and bad deed quests would make a cool scenario. thoughts- The island city of Cripos began a new day. As the slits of sunlight poked through the townsfolks windows, they awoke and head out to their jobs. But one townsmember did not arise from his bed. That person was the King. After the guards became aware of the situation, the entire population dashed to the royal manor to see what was going on. They found the king stabbed and dead, with a note by his bed: Dear Citizens of Cripos, "It is my solemn duty to inform you that your beloved king has been killed by me, a great assassin. I regret to inform you a rebellion has started in Cripos. Twenty people are in the rebellion, and want to overthrow the regional king to rule 1/4 of Greece. They apparently want to lower taxes and of course rule over a large population. But as to tell you, I'm here to help you. They're forcing me to do this... oh mercy... sorry, they're coming, so I'll have to cut short. May you find a new king that will be good for you. Regards, The citezens all looked at each other in worry. It would be a likely bloody rebellion. It had to be stopped. Then came a small voice from the back of the crowd. It was Kophos, the soldier who had been training at the military academy. He agreed to try to find the rebellionists before they enslaved the residents. And so you control Kophos on an RPG adventure. From there, I'll leave the plotline up to whoever is making the scenario. Good luck! ~~Explorer~~ This scenario is called explorer. On the RPG, your goal is, as an explorer, to explore the map. You have a ship, and as the crew you have: With the crewmembers, they can explore, hunt (villies), or repair the ship. They must hunt or forage for food, and chop down trees for wood. Relics and other spots provide gold. Each night, for each villie/gentleman you have, you lose 1 food (villie) or 2 food (gentleman). If you reach zero, then the number you didn't have room to subtract dies. Captian always takes one. If it's night and you're at zero, you die. Along the way, you have to fight both normal (huntables) and Legendary (MUs) beasts. Kill lots of Legendary beasts, and you get popular to the natives. The natives are the group of people that live on these islands (using mercs). You can do the following at their camps: Buy or Sell Resources The Ship Leave Concept: When you leave the ship, you shouldn't have LOS of it, should you? Well, in the Explorer scenario, when you abandon your ship (nobody inside), then it turns into a neutral. That way, you have to *gasp* remember where you left it. And if you do remember, you may come back to find nothing! (if it's destroyed, see below) The Kawajulu Tribe: Not all natives are friendly. The Kawajulu tribe hates all foriegners. They will sail around the ocean and patrol the islands. If they see you, they will attack. They also hate the friendly natives (the ones where you can visit their camps to do stuff) and will try to destroy their camps. You'll have to help defend friendly native camps if you want their services! Sleep: Favor represents sleep. It slowly counts down during the day. At night, it begins to reach zero. You need to find a place to sleep before then! You'll have to build a shelter (house), which also uses the radical ___ Leave Concept. TRAIN THE CREW You always need to have some normal crewmembers around, but for some gold, you can (via chat) change the role of your gentlemen and crewmembers. Once they are specialized, though, you can't change them again. Here's what you can make them: GENTLEMEN SPECIALTIES: Mapper: Every night, all blackmap is reset (AKA you forget your surroundings) unless you have a mapper! CREWMEMBER SPECIALTIES None. Instead, you can train them in certian feilds: Building: Training in this field decreases the time it takes to make a shelter Or, you can change them to a troop, to fend off natives on ground. Troop list: Spearman: Needs 10 wood 5 gold B.C (or B.C.E. for scientific or atheist people) 7000. Island of Atlantis. For a century the war raged on. What began as a protest for the rights of the automata, escalades into a full scale civil war. Rebels oppose to the Automata slavery united and started a revolution against the Theocrat and the High Priest ruling class. The Golden Age of Atlantis quickly ended, and with the ending, brought death and chaos to the land. Neither side could win. The loyal Destroyers and the Elite Cavalries of the Theocrat were able to stop massaive Murmillo and Fanatic charges. The state's control over Atlantis mighty fleet also helped them against the rebels. However, the rebels have the help of legions of Automata, which enable them to capture 5 of the nine gleaming Palaces surrounding Atlantis. The Theocrat controls East and South Atlantis, as well as small islands lying off it. However, the North and the West is under Rebel control. The Orichalko-rich interior often exchange hands between the forces. Most of Atlantis' colonies have either been overran by barbarian forces, or taken by pirates. Others have revolted and becamse independant. Only a few stayed loyal. Amongst them was the great colony of Lemuria, which has promised to assist the Theocrat in his struggles against the rebels, who has fought long and hard for the freedom of their Automata comrades. Sides: Rebels - Fanatics (cultist that hates the priest class), Murmillo (rivlas with destoryers). Other corps are splitted. Players: Theocrat (Capital Region - East) Players: West Atlantis RPG, Set on a large, rocky island called Valada's Spire. It is mostly cliffs and outcrops. The only flat lands on the islands are plateaus, and transprotation was only possible via giant eagles. Story: A young man has a dream. He dreamt of being a great defender of the skies, protecting the people from harm. Yet he also dreams of being a Sky Pirate, robbing and slaughtering innocents. For this, he decided to go on an adventure..... (Someone make the story to have more plot) To achieve his dreams, he needed a great flying beast. To own one, he must get gold. To get gold, he must do deeds... Game Concept: Player starts outside his home on one of the Island's 50(How many is the maker's choice) Plateus. He would need to do task(designer's choices), and it would be open ended. To get around once he has a eagle (stypmhalian bird), he must land near 'flatzones". Once near the flatzone, the main character could get "on" or "off". Places: There would be villages, shops, and academies all over the maps which players could upgrade, get special abilites (for example, you get ragnarok which allows you to speed up while the GP is in effect. The effect wears off a few second later, and you have to wait a while before you can use the Gp again.). You could also hire mercenaries. Battle System: Players get normal upgrades(add HP, add armor...etc) by using gold when they do missions. It will have a special job system, like when you meet a certain requirement (eg. enough speed, have theif's dagger to be a thief, got the knights armor, done the soldier's academy training will allow you to be a knight) would unlock a job (you can choose it at your home). The job will allow you to go to places normally in normal form you cant go, and the stats would change (a thief would have awesome walking speed but got a cut in armor as a result, simliarly, if you going for a knight, your armor would dramtically increase, thou severeing you speed very much. Being an Archer will allow you to have range, in exchange for damage reduction). This also have a mana system, where old man will be "mana". mana can be restock by buying at stores, finding it off enemies, or in hidden places. mana can give you tempory HP,attack,armor...etc boost as well as GPs and summon units. The higher "magic" level you are the more magic you can choose from. Story: All hope left him. Wandering through the Northern Waste, with no goal in his mind. Barely find enough food for living, he starved in the chilling lands. He forgot the sounds of spring's wind, the delicious summer rain, and the voices of children. Yet fate did not let him fall. For his dearest, unknowingly, is looking for him, trying to embrace him, to protect him from the unforgiving cold... This is the story of an Exile and his beloved, a bond that will remain until the times of their death... Will he and his dearest be ever be united? Or shall they be seperated until death? The player will decide their fate... Gameplay: Stamina Meter: Several ways to refill Hunger Meter: Mind Meter: This will drop slowly, and will not pose as much thread from gameover if you play both side of the game fast. This is one of the two important ingerdience into open different endings. however, it is more difficult to refill this meter. His beloved. (Could be wife, girlfriend, comrade-in-war, best friends, son, mother....etc) More "standard" RPGing. Starts off in the warm south. Overal goal is to get to the North and find a way to get into the Northern Land to find the Exile. No stamina, hunger or mind meter because it is assume he/she brought enough money in the towns to spend it on food and tents. (although the scenario maker can choose to install one also, which could work, but the scenario will be more based on the Life of the Exile). Do multiple Quest to find a way into the North. Can take seceral approach: -Get into the army, rise through the ranks, then get a ship and a group to search for the Exile. Endings: (Scenario makers could create their own edings so this is just suggestions) If the Exile gone crazy from "mind" lost If the Exile's beloved dies If the beloved finds the Exile at low mind. or medium mind at low speed for beloved. If the beloved finds the Exile at medium mind with medium - high speed for beloved. or high mind with low speed for beloved. *Shows them seeing each other in the Northlands* Ending #5 - good If the Beloved finds the Exile at high mind with high beloved speed. b) Parent c) Children d)Wife e)Best Friend f)Comarade They suffer silently, but they swear to avenge themselves, when they learn to unite. That's where you come in. Explore the island of Corbasina, and unite the peaceful island natives, to compete their vow for revenge. Titan vs. Cities 2 Titans to the 2 first players, 4 cities to 4 others, each the civ of their choice. The titan gate is aready there but the 30 villagers supplied need to clear the gate in order to let the titan out, which gives time for the cities to build up an army or build on their army and attempt to defend or ambush the titans. The titans' goal is to destroy certain buildings within each city, which would result in plunder or a trigger giving resources to the titan player. Once all 4 cities have been fully plundered, the titans win. This turns the tide and allows the villagers to build a city and assist in the plundering. However, if the city gains enough favor, a titan will be awarded instantly, thus once again turning the tide. If the original titans are destroyed, original cities win. Favor can be awarded with the plunder, and a certain amount of favor will award the titans players with techs+modify protounits to make your titan better. Map should include choke points, and 4 walled cities. Also include resources around the map, in order for the cities to gather. The wealthier the city, the more plunder, but also the more troops the city should have. Also include a convertable 1st-come-first-serve anti-titan hero, or a beefed up bellerophon or something. Just crossed my mind so it wasnt exactaly developed... The main character meets a strange looking bear (Lazer Bear) who asks "Have you seen a berry bush around here?". The main character acts confused. Suddenly, an oversized (big as hillfort) walking berrybush breaks down a Norse stone wall. The camera shakes as soon as the wall breaks. Add a lot of people running from it and many trees on fire. Make the sky stormy and invoke a neutral Spc Lightning storm in the background. The berrybush approaches a Hillfort and attacks it. Each attack shakes the camera. [This message has been edited by gerbs (edited 10-19-2005 @ 11:34 AM).]
A : You will not let anyone use the idea
B : Someone is already using the idea
A cinematic of people running away in a forest with dwarven forges then stopping and saying "Isnt this like Halloween Run?" and then getting caught. Then invoke forest fire and kill (insert beasts name here), but destroying town aswell.
A game where you have to get a scenario design team to make a good scenario.Modder, Scenery Expert,Cinematics Expert,Actors,Builders,Builders Bosses.
You would have to use a mod for the brits, but could use a mercenary for Zulus (with a Modify Protounit for lifespan - 999999999). A game where there is a little ccamp in the middle of the mao and cliffs and hills around the outside - Zulu spawnpoints. A plain in the middle and the brits would defend from the camp. They would have to wait 15/20/30 minutes until reinforcments arrived. There would be a tower at the spawnpoints. If that tower was destroyed units wouldnt spawn ther. If all 4 towers were destroyed the Zulus would lose.
Almanias was a young boy, unaware of his future. His sister Renetias had been captured by Hades. Only the hammer of hapheastus would bring her back. Almanias made a deal - The Hammer for his sister...
You would play as Almanias on a journey to Mt.Olympus to get The Hammer(a relic). After that you would return to hades and give him it. He would free your sister and then, using a trigger, she would turn from a female greek villy into a warrior of some sort. Hades would release the Titans with the hammer and attack Olympus. All was going well until Almanias and Renetias showed up.
Based on World Map - just as britain, america or europe
Play as pandora after she opened the Box. Have to kill the beasts in the city, and then move on to the World.
Pandora: Female Villager Greek
+0.5 to MU bonus
+300 HP
+1 per second to regenerate(is that possible?)
+7 to hack attack
Have 5 players all neutral to each other, and have a big City on an island.
Have about 31(?)'quests' dotted around the town and then the 'heroes' would have
to complete the 'quests' and the player with the most points after all of them have been completed would win.
Once a task had been completed, the quest is eliminated from the game. Any players currently on that quest would be notified it has been completed already, and would
have to find another quest.
The longer and harder the quest, the more points you earn.
It would be good to lets the players choose their own unit in this, and the units would be in a square of land far out to sea.
There would be 3 sections:
Heroes - Would probably not have any ModProto
Myth - Would probably have a ModProto for bonus damage vs. Heroes
Men - Would probably have a Mod Proto in most stats
The players would each have an old man and would choose their unit. After that, no-one would be able to choose that unit again.
What I think would be a good selection of units is:
Chiron
Reginleif
Arkantos
Hero Of Ragnorok(Female)
Centaur
Lampades(?)
Sphinx
Minotaur(?)
Arcus
Axeman
Toxotes(?)
Hoplite(?)
There would have to be quite a few quests, with a good amount of differences between them. It
would be quite boring just having 'Kill the robber!' - 'Kill the Dryad in the forest!' - 'Kill the evil guy down at the harbour!'
- 'Kill xLpx!'
Assasination
Odd Job
Search
Good/Bad Deed
The players would not be allowed to attack the other people, as it would be unfair to attack the other people when you are 'Heroes'
There could be a guard patrolling the city, and bad deeds could make you an enemy to them. The
consequences could be severe - even fatal.
Its been ten years since Hades took persephone into hades and forced her to be there half of the year. after one year of this she was sick and tried mutiple times to escape but she couildn't do it about 2 years ago in a final revolt she made all women revolt against men this left all married men and men near women to be killed but thier wives or strangers. A few people survived one being the main character who was given powers by the god of war thta allowed for him to escape this evil grasp of the women.
-Find Freinds
- Morphing using powers given to you
- What ever you want
- For somereason when yuo zoom into hero of ragnorocs they have a feminine face
Place an object that looks like it could fire something. When the object's attacked, a cinematic block becomes a super-speed monkey that shoots through the map. A looping trigger makes it so anything near the monkey disentegrates.
Similar to first idea, but playable and different, have a scream scenario where players are running from a 'cereal killer' (Hero of Rag would be good killer) and can go in camps and houses to evade the killer. Then, there could be multiple killers if you play on titan difficulty.

He was an exile. He was alone. He lost all respect. He lost all that was dear to him. He was accompanied by sleet and ice.......
Note: "Beloved and Dearest" revers to the other character. Could be wife, parents, children, girlfriends, best frirends, comrades of the exile.
2 seperate quest on 1 map. The player will start off with the exile. While playing with the exile you will have to keep your stamina, hunger meter up and a "mind" meter up. If your stamina or hunger meter gets too low, the Exile will die. If the "mind" meter gets too low, the Exile will go crazy, making you lose as well.
-Primary A), sleep. Typing "sleep" will have him sleep right where he stands, although this would have a significant drop in "mind" meter.
-Primary B), sleep. If you can find a cave (runs the risk of wild animals), a tent from someone else(could be a kind hunter tent or a bandit's tent), or anywhere deemed conmfortable enough. The more comfortable it is, the less the "mind" meter will drop. If it is really comfortable (Someone's house, large tent), the mind meter will refill a bit.
-Secondary, items. Finding certain items will allow you to refill your stamina meter, although this is rather rare.
-Hunt food. Primary. The more deer and caribous in an area which you go into, the higher chance of meeting wolves. A pack of wolves will be extreamly dangerous.
-Forage. Sometimes you will find berry bushes, that can fill part of your hunger meter.
-Find people's food from tent, house or even rob random passerbys.
-Items. Finding items that reminds the Exile of his former life will increase his mind.
-Good food, comfortable sleep. Mostly the food and his sleeping areas not that good. If he can find one, his mind meter will go up slightly.
-Become a merchant, trade to get gold, buy a boat, sail north to find the Exile.
-Join different guilds which can or cannot help you to get to the north. Some guilds can, others cannot, it will be in your choosing. Sometimes you done all of a guild's quest and ended up with a "sorry, we can't help you on your request".

In an island far far away called Corbasina, there lives a peaceful people. When their island was taken over by Rithma, High King of Germanic Raiders, they suffered. They were not held captive in prison cells or jails, but since the island wood was no good for shipbuilding, they were prisoners on their own island. They refuse to talk until they rid of their captors.
Maybe you could make a rainbow-six kind of thing, where you control on hero and have triggers to make three others follow. Then you can use text messages or something to command your team...is it possible? I dunno.
