This will be my first ever fully made RPG. But before you say "Oh no another Noob trying to make a good map and also having the guts to think it is good..." Well if you do think this then you have just missed out on a chance to do a hopefully great new RPG.
The Story
Generel Thesil is returning from a battle, his men are weary and few, as the men reach a forest they stop, hear a sound, and are ambushed by Hodiac Rebels. None of them are killed however.
The Hodiac Rebels take Thesil and his men back to a small camp where they meet Folican the Almighty, he then qustions them on a subject that they do not understand. He ask them why they killed all his men and torched his farms, the men who had never been so far north, didn't have a clue what he was talking about...but Folican didn't want to hear it and decided to return back to their main camp.
But they never reached the camp, Thesil started to hear screams of pain and the hands that had held on to him tightly before had let go. As he was blindfolded he had no idea what was happening, ran until he reached a forest he backed up into a tree and rubbed the bind that held his hands away when he opened his eyes...he saw a massive castle near the forest and that's when the story begins...
Screenshots
The reason that there aren't that many screenshots is because I wanted to leave some of the map as a surpirse itherwise it can be quite boring. Wanted to say sorry in advance for having the minimap in the corner, it's just I had to get through quite a few photos.
Full map Screenshot
This one (obviously) shows the whole map the whole of the left hand part is non-playable, it is all cinematic. The top right is where the castle is and the bottom right is the great forest.
Full Town Screenshot
This screenshot shows the castle/town to the left is where the rich people live to the right is the Trolls Engine and in the middle is most of the housing.
Town (1)
This one shows a different way to look at the town...fairly simple not much more I can say, excpet in the top left hand corner you can see the house where Ferax lives.
The Trolls' Engine
This is an enlarged picture of the trolls engine, I won't say anymore because it might just give away too much of the story.
Characters
This is the problem that I have right now...I am not sure if I want to do this as a one off Scenario or as a whole campaign. So some of the characters aren't actually in the first one, they will be highlighted in green and you might see them, might not.
Generel Thesil
He is the protaganist of the story (did I spell that right?) but you find out there are dark secrets about him that get uncovered. He works under the emperor Anton Yuenny, of the Souther LandsTralicora. He was tasked to go North and defend a Shipment of Goods, heading for a dock in Tralicora but was attacked by the Fifth Legion of Scarianous, under the OverLord Xanar the Minotaur. (The part where they get attacked by the Fifth legion is not in the First Scenario.)
Folican the Almighty
Leads a clan called Hodiac, they live in the northern lands, ofGargorian and he only features once in the first Scenario. But he has known Dark Times in his past and is much older than he looks. Many secrets he knows and many will be revieled.
Xanar the Minatour
Not seen in the first Scenario Xanar the Minatour leads the people of Scarianous, he is known througout the lands as a harsh and evil ruler. When he was 5 his father was killed in battle and he became an Emperor.
Generel Menogolias
A generel in the army of Scarianous, a strong fighter and a great tactician. One of Xanar's top men, but is he all that bad?
Der Lanoc
A crazy old wizard, he lives outside the town of Srene, but the question really is. Why has he lived there all his life? Is he really human? What connections does he have with Generel Thesil?
The legendary King of Srene
On first inspection a normal king who would do anything for his people. But there is something else there, something you can't put your finer on. Why does he have walls outside his palace? Why does he let trolls build Engines in his own castle? Most interestingly why is he so legendery? Only one man knows, himself...
Dredfocks the Wizard
An extremely evil wizard, but very popular amongst most Witches and Wizards, his plans always involve killing in some way. His arch-rival the beutiful Srilenki leader of the opposing party.
Srilenki the Witch
Leader of the Witches and Wizards opposition party, against Dredfocks, her plans involve good and not killing. Although her supporters are few they are loyal. which might affect the future of Wizards, Men and Trolls alike.
Silenhji the Witch
The mother of Srilenki, she keeps her powers secret. Her rival is Dredfocks and she has plans to...dispose of him. Her mind was twisted and warped when she was taken hostage by shades in the Hollow Lands, although she is good her mind has similar characteristics of evil.
Dredfock's Soldiers
Obediant Servants of Dredfocks, as his elite guard they are charged with many important tasks. When and if they fail they are severely punished.A fate worse than death
Captain Rintoer
A captain in the forces of Anton Yuenny. He is a great friend of Generel Thesil, but the descions he makes could cost him dearly, with his life and others around him.
Bronak and Dofgren the Twins
Little, next to nothing is known about these twins who wander the northern and southern lands fighting evil. But the story goes that when they were children, their city and everyone they knew was burnt and killed. But they escaped as their mother had bid them do, and now they wish to find out who destroyed their city. But soon their story binds in with that of Generel Thesil's.
Gonar the Centaur
A strange and mysteious centaur who roams the forests in the northern lands, apparently looking for something. That something might just be exactly what he can't have...most of his story will/might be in the next scenario but you do see a little bit of him in the first.
Generel Thesil's Soldiers
Men who are Generel Thesil's most loyal and strongest warriors...what more can I say?
Campaign
I will be going ahead with the campaign idea,The Chosen Ones there are 5 scenarios in all which will be released at the same time. (Except the lucky few who get to playtest!) Right now I am having some difficulty with putting together a campaign file -you know the thing you do on notepad - so any help would be great. Here is a list of the Campaigns in order:
The Rainshamer
The Fifth Council
My People
The Dfrad Warlocks
The God
Expected Release Date and Percentage
Unknown for now but most of the work is done...
100% Map Design
70% Triggers
Play testing
Just to let you know this scenario is still going ahead, I will be doing the whole Campaign. But right now I need playtesters for the first map. I will need you in about a week, but thought I might aswell get the message out now.
Play Testers
Keron Cyst
Baske
These people will (I think) be doing the whole campaign, if you are only interested in doing one or two of scenarios then that's fine as well. But remember places are going fast and I don't want the whole of AOMH to playtest it cause then no one will need to download.
I'm very responsible, when ever something goes wrong they always say I'm responsible
