[big]How to play:[/big]

In case it wasn't clear, the combat in this game will be completely played out in minecraft. I originally decided to create a forum game like this, but I didn't think it's feasible

Plot (In case you didn't follow it): My 'castle' is now being over-run by a demon who is summoning monsters. He has split my place away from the rest of you but I can bring you here to fight using weaker fighters you can use to do battle.

You will be able to pick from eight different classes (Explained later). The combat will be played out in different stages. The first one will start out with a small barricade preceding a bridge. You will be able to place your character in different zones, such as archer towers, the front lines, etc. I will then record these, start the battle upload these to youtube, and then post them here.

You will proceed through the fortress trying to defend for as long as you can, until you have to fall back.

Classes:

Each class have unique fighting techniques, called abilities. These usually stay the same, but can be changed with skills. In addition you will have two class specific skills. One can be used every combat stage, but will have multiple options. A separate ability will be usually unusable in normal circumstances, but it can be filled with a energy storage. The energy storage will be able to be filled by completing different challenges in the stages. This may be taking on a boss after, increasing the amount of enemies, surviving to the end etc. Each one will cost ten from the storage. Here are a list of the soldiers and their abilities...

Paladin:



Armed a blade and holy armor, these fighters will charge through the horde and will brush off even the most devastating of attacks. Their improved defense, however, leads to weaker damage. They may be able to distract the horde but even they can not destroy it single handedly.

Abilities:
Melee: Knockback, Slowness
Armor: Heavy, High Health, Knockback Resistance

Skills:
Blessing of Light - Give a friendly character +30 health
Final Stand - Double your health and your attack range

Berserker:

There are few who do not fear the cow leather equipped Berserker. With his dual bladed weapons he will shred through his opponents, dealing multiple hits before facing the others. He is great against both multiple weak enemies as well as very strong ones. His low health in addition to his melee combat style makes him very easily defeated.

Meele: Shredding Melee
Armor: Medium, Low Health, Knockback Resistance

Skills:
Berserker's Rage - Give a friendly soldier double attack your choice
Trance - Rapid throw your axes for the rest of the next round, dealing more damage.

Assassin:



The assassin strikes furiously with his dagger causing major damage. It also will hurl throwing stars before rushing his opponent. Despite this, he is very weak especially with it's melee preference, and low health against the hordes. He is excellent against the higher health opponents, being able to shred through their health quite quickly. To make up for this they have some devastating skills

Abilities:
Melee: High Damage, Low ROF attack
Ranged: Focused AOE attack

Skills:
Call Pet - Summon five wolves or give yourself +3 damage
Assassinate - Destroy three epic or legendary minions randomly

Battle Mage:



With spear in hand, these magicians are your worst nightmears. Their weapons are enchanted with such a powerful flame that any enemy hit by it is ensured to die. After a while. They are very strong against strong and ranged enemies, but rather weak against large amounts of enemies. Their skills are also very powerful

Melee: Infernal, low initial damage, but infinite DOT

Skills:
Cursed Spell - lower your health by twenty and increase your main melee damage by ten
One with the flame - Explode TNT at the feet of the main army

Necromancer:



Dark Researchers, these magi's rise a group of undead to follow them. Their power over darkness also allows them to fling dark orbs that cause large amounts of damage. Like all spellcasters, these are very weak and do not take damage well.

Abilities:
Ranged: Launches five powerful orbs which inflict weakness
Armor: Low, Low Health

Skills:
Raise dead - Summon five skeletons or subtract fifteen health and summon ten skeletons
Corruption - Destroy five random non legendary or rare enemies and turn them into friendly skeletons

Sage:


Blessed with the power of light these mages can shred through multiple enemies with their fast ranged attack.

Ranged: Launches an unending beam of light
Armor: Low, Low Health

Blessing of Light - Choose a friendly player and increase their health regeneration
Holy Armor - Equip damage resistant armor for one stage of combat.

Sniper:



With a iron reinforced bow, the arrows launched by the sniper deal the most damage in the game. Their raw damage however comes with a low fire rate, making it very useful against legendary minions but not against the normal horde. They excel when fighting

Ranged: High single unit damage
Armor: Medium, Low Health

(passive) Can choose whether to stand still with knock back resistance or to move freely
Snipe - Cut a random legendary or rare minion's health to 1
Legolas' quiver - Your attack rate is tripled

Ballista Archer:


Armed with an engineered miniature ballista these soldiers are very strong against large groups of enemies. They also have good protection against being hit but not enough to sustain damage for too long. (Similar to the ones seen in the trailer)

Ranged: AOE and fire damage
Armor: Medium, medium health Health

(passive) Can choose whether to stand still with knock back resistance or to move freely

Discipline - You can choose to either increase your health or increase your arrows damage over time
Artillery - Your volleys now fire much more frequently

There will also be two seperate classes for me and Urthank, you will have to wait to see what they do.

Okay, but seriously. Judging by the trailer, this would be pretty amazing as a genuine 5-15 minute adventure map, rather than a DTG thing or what you're planning on doing with it. As it is, it's kind of unclear... are you going to put us in as NPCs and make us fight? Make us play the map separately and show how we do? Get us together on a server? Either way, this looks pretty epic, but I might not be available for it if its a server thing. Joining tentatively, as others have said:

Preferred name: TT
Username Minecraft: TT2012(NOTE: I have a standard Steve/Alex skin)
(I will use this as your skin, you don't have to put this in, and I will still find a suitable skin for your character. Also doesn't have to be your actual username, it can be any random username that has a cool skin):
Class: Agh, they all look great! I'll try, uh, Necromancer! Having an army of zombies sounds cool.

Btw, I assume you're using mob team designations to make us fight? I assumed that was the technical thing behind pitting regular monsters against each other, if its not let me know, I'm, actually quite curious

(Also, I was serious earlier. Regardless of how this turns out, make it into an ordinary adventure map once we're done and people will like it.)

Alright, to make it clear, you all will act through the forum ONLY. I will set up battle sequences on my world and you will be represented by a NPC. I will separate both sides with a glass wall, blow up the wall with tnt, and record the ensuing chaos. I will then edit it, upload it to youtube and then post the video on here. I did this because it's a rather easy to play compared to multiplayer. The skills will mostly be me just editing health values of enemy minions.

As for the schedule, I might complete one every three or four days? I'm not entirely sure how long it will take.

@TT2K, Now that you've mentioned it, I could probably make this into a map. I am using teams for both sides. I do have about sixteen different enemies, and the legendary/rare ones have unique attacks.

Also, expect the sidequest to start tomorrow

Interesting. Well, I'll be excited to see how it goes!

Preferred: Redstone
Name: MegaMinEr69
Class: Paladin (I would've chose one of the ranged ones, but Redstone, or Josh (Human clone) is really good at sword fighting, and I have alchemized like a crap ton of them)

Originally posted on 2015-11-11 19:30:00

Alright, here it is:

I am going to change how your more powerful skill works (The second one on the class list). You will only be able to use it twice for the entire game. Use them wisely.

~ summons these entities for this round of battle:

1 Fire Drake <Legendary>
1 Destroyer <Legendary>
2 Golems <Rare>
1 Void Walker <Rare>
About 30 Angry zombies
About 10 Skeleton Rangers
4 Corrupt Dwarves

But suddenly a group arrives on the side of your fortifications and prepares for battle:
1 Golem <Rare>
1 Void Walker <Rare>
10 Angry Zombies

The Battlefield:



Now, you position yourselves. You can position yourselves in Red yellow or Green. Orange is for your summons, and purple is roughly where the enemies will spawn. I am limiting red to only two people, and remember that you may lose your archers in the red tower if there are no summons protecting it. I will place Urthank and Myself wherever I see fit.

Be sure to also tell me how you are going to use your spells.

Example of reply

Mr. Berserker:
I choose to put myself in the green position. I then use berserkers rage on Mr Paladin.

Alright, if enough people post, and I work hard enough, expect the video to be up tomorrow. Otherwise it will be out on Sunday, as I will be too busy to work on it except for then. I will also add a list of all players eventually.

Finally, you can join whenever you want, in case you are too busy or want to see some game-play first.

I'll go in Red! (I've decided on Redstone)

Originally posted on 2015-11-12 02:40:00

Also, forgot this, but just so my video isn't silent you can suggest any awesome boss/fighting music for it.

And I just added everyone in:


Alright, TT doesn't have any legs, I changed topaz' username to topazian instead of topazain, since it was just a steve skin (WITH NO LEGS). Also I'm guessing Conderp is your npc's username and the other two are for skins. If anything is wrong, I will fix it.

I put Crystal in the yellow position, and use Blessing of Light on Inclined - he needs the extra health regen.
