Alright - after about five months of work, this beast is finally ready for testing. Keep in mind the map is *still* not done - i havent changed class prices and a couple of other things yet since i feel this really requires some outside opinions. |
Test server and testers wanted shortly, please get in touch.
So anybody who wants to help test this thing - i thank you in advance. There are numerous things that have to be checked and looked for - namely... everything.
Things i would like you to do on the server:
Play about as serfs, crafters and traders a bit - make sure the economy works well.
Fight with eachother in different locations - this is very important, as i cant really test out combat balance by myself.
Try making constructable structures, break doors - stuff like that and let me know if any of them bug out or if broken doors block the doorway.
Run around map edges and see if you can get past the barriers.
Generally look around for things that look out of place, floating objects, z fighting - stuff like that - its hard for me to find these on my own because since i built it - its very difficult to look at things with a fresh eye.
Play around and have fun - give me suggestions and critisicm.
All this stuff is pretty important - for those of you that know ive made a few PW maps in the past and they all kind of fizzled into forgotten memory... personally i dont think they were bad - but i do know that i often released them kinda buggy and unpolished :S so i really want to make sure i dont do that this time.
Also - those of you who just want to look around and give me feedback without any real testing... i also appreciate this - just not as much
Anybody interested in hosting a test server (i cant do it at the moment :S ) and those interested in testing - please send me a PM or post here. After i get enough of you i will try and organise a good time when we all have an hour or two free to do the above. |
Some Information about the map:
There are no teleports in the map - everything is done oldschool.
Most jobs will require a backpack or cart - since the stockpiles are in (relatively) realistic places.. aka not always right next to what you are doing
Horses will increase in price exponentially the better they are, so only the richest of players will be able to ride into battle on a worthy mount. Keep in mind horses enne mass are NOT a good idea in this terrain - the majority of your army should be infantry and archers.
Armour prices will also increase exponentially - So fancy gear is more for prestige than value. |
Any other ideas, random praise, critisicm, requests etc are very welcome.
