DTG Sidequest, The Siege

Note: I wasn't sure where this should go, so feel free to move it to the right forum

Feel free to post here instead of on the DTG page

[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.
