View Full Version : Creating New Terrain( not just terrain idea)
This is not as many other ideas for terrain are. My Idea is to be able to create a terrain to make it harder for your opponent to get to you.(Make a terrain specific to your set up.)You would be able to add new terrains. Each having there own special ability.
Ex. Ice, plains, tall grass, swamp, creek, and river.
Ice: Step on ice and you go in a straight line till you hit other type of terrain or hit a border square.
Plains: Just like grey squares only with some details to make them look like plains.
Tall Grass: Makes unit's movement decrease by 1.
Swamp: Makes unit's movement decrease by 2.
Creek: When stepped in unit slides 1 square down from original point.(1 square wide)
River: When stepped in unit slides down river 2 squares from original point.(3 squares wide)
Also you would be able to raise or lower the evelation of your squares making. Creating moutians. hills, valleys, and even plateaus.
Raising Elevation: Makes ranged units shoot farther the higher. (Also makes dragon fly farther.)
Lower Elevation: Makes ranged untis throw/shoot shorter distances.
Units walking up lose movement the higher the steeper the hill or mountain is. Units walking down hill get movement raised the steeper the hill or mountain they are going down is.
Mountains: Optimal range for attacking and moving, but much slower movement to get up hill.
Hills: For slight raise in distance with slightly shorter movement.
Valley: Good for hiding from archersand for suprise attacks.
Plateaus: Good for hiding cleric and for launching suprise attacks with archers and or scouts in mid-game.
Combinations of both terrain and elavation would be a great new abbilty for the player to use true tactics.
Tell me if I forgot anything. I am open for suggestions and critism.

cool idea, but i think that they should have preset maps with people being able to play on a preset map, and being able to set their settings for that specific map.

That is the idea I usually see. I my idea would give players some more room to create there own setups. it would let them personalize there setups more so. This would also make more ways to create formations.

Make these ideas into units, about the mountain/hilly terrain, but the ice has already been mentioned by yours truly. :cool:

No offense, but not a very good idea :(
6. Different terrain on the playing field. Whether it is different terrain for each square individually, or for the whole field.

I read that kyir no1 posted anything about being able to create your own terrain and geology. SO shut up and get of my post. OWN :cool:

Go and read all of those post in the link . I bet none are like mine suggesting you can make it not pre-made maps. like some said earlier in this thread.

if you made your own terrian you can end up with even more vastly overpowered sets, bushers with 7 range? pits in the middle of thier form?
think about what your posting beofre you post, and dont suggest anytihng in the already suggested thread

10-09-2005, 03:34 PM
jeez it was just a sugestion you dont have to go blow up about it
if it isnt premade some setups get instantly screwed by random terrain stuck in the middle, and you not supposed to suggest terrain at all, its in the thread
It isn't random terrain and I did read the thread . It says already used ideas no1 has used terrain like this . ANd no1 has thought of elevation.

10-09-2005, 03:35 PM
ooh you just got told kyir
ITs still terrain, and its still been turned down, it still can unbalance like I said in my post above which was edited AFTER I re-read your suggestion
Kyir if you have a problem with my threads leave them alone. Do you think your tough because you negged me for a decent idea. I should of got a noob neutral rep from you. Dammit plain and simple stay out of my post nd we can live in peace.

10-09-2005, 03:40 PM
i toatly agree with you vie!!
I negged you because it's a badly tohught out idea thats been already posted (not exactly but still terrain) If you dont liek me posting in your threads, tough!

10-09-2005, 03:43 PM
hey guys why dont we just drop this who topic and forget this ever happened
I negged you because it's a badly tohught out idea thats been already posted (not exactly but still terrain) If you dont liek me posting in your threads, tough!
OMG Shut up Kyir you have no idea what you are doing. I can't believe I got negged for making an original idea.

spike3379
10-09-2005, 03:57 PM
then we will have no need to argue about this topic....you knwo if kyir had never shown up we would all be happy
OMG Shut up Kyir you have no idea what you are doing. I can't believe I got negged for making an original idea.
How is it origional???, it adds/subracts movement, tweaks range, whatever, its nothing new
spike3379
10-09-2005, 04:49 PM
but it would still be good to put in
noooooo, becuase it would unbalance the game
spike3379
10-09-2005, 04:54 PM
how would it unnalence the game??? huh???
If the range increases on top of a hill/mountain, you get bushers with on LoS (duh!) 0larger range, and harder to get to, same with mages, some tihngs wernt ment to have any bigger or lesser ranges

10-09-2005, 05:01 PM
what is a busher and an LoS???? im new here i dont knwo these things

Terrain is a good idea... a lot better than the gray tile... although the whole idea of it affecting a unit may get in the way... unless they increased the size of the arena.
This is like FFT (final fantasy tactics)...
well it is a good idea... only a few things should be changed...
or a few more types EX

Has no one here ever noticed that not a SINGLE suggestion for new ingame changes has EVER been implemented?
"nagging" it won;t make it happen, just keep you looking like idiots.

jeff may be harsh but he is right ... its one thing to discuss it at first as an exchange of ideas but to bring a dead thread back to life that has no hope of becoming a reality is stupid. the creator of the game deosnt even read these forums and a little pissant like you (not meanig to be harsh but that is how you would be seen)cant make a difference until youve been here longer than 95% of the people playing.

I dislike the whole new terrain idea and I really dislike the idea that you'd be able to make a specifically challenging terrain for any game.

Why would they have a "suggestion fourm" if they didnt implament anything?
Faulty Logic
10-25-2005, 01:50 PM
Every suggestion, unless a forum idea, is comletely ignored. Hopefully we will be proved wrong but meh.
C-a-u and suggestions are just ways to keep the players feel as if they could possible end up contributing.
Now for this idea,
No. If the amount of "customizable terrain" were limited then maybe.
If i place my scout or GA on a "hill" then no one would be able to stop a Ga in between the corner and middle, it wouldnt have to move and could reach any cleric.
I could make slopes on my flank so as to hinder enemy nonranged units. ...too many variables.
Place certain units next to certain terrain= unstopable. Abuse would be horrendous.

10-25-2005, 02:22 PM
I like the idea. But no one that could actully make this come into the game would ever look at it. Like seed would if it was in the legends forums.
PURE HATE
10-25-2005, 06:05 PM
So if they only put a suggestion fourm to make people feel good... then why do they still delete spammers etc. ?
The idea is good. For all you people who want the "dull" gray tiles, it should be an option.
