Christmas is near and this year 2008 is coming to an end, whilst 2009 is fastly approaching. Almost ten years ago in 1999 3DO published the legendary game "Heroes of Might and Magic III". Therefore I've decided to make a new Heroes III map to honour the 10th birthday of this masterpiece.
My map shall display the astonishing qualities which still lie within the best part of the Heroes saga even 10 years after its original release!
General Facts:
Name: Dragonslayer
Release: 1st quarter 2009
Size: Small
Version: Heroes III SoD
Multiplayer: No
Type: multi-linear, story-based, small armies, quests
Synopsis:
The player starts as the unknown hero Thert who is in love with the king's daughter Mina. But he is not the only one who loves the princess. Lord Leonard, the seemingly loyal captain of the king's cavalry, lusted after her since she has entered adulthood. He cannot accept Mina's flirting with an unknown marksman, who is practically a dumb peasant is his eyes, and sets up an intrigue which exposes the concealed relationship of Mina and Thert. Hence Thert must flee from his home to a nearby dark kingdom whilst Leonard carries out his deep designs.
However, Thert will try to reclaim his love, Mina, with the help of his friends and protect her from Leonard. But to achieve this, he must become a hero in in those new lands where the dragon's breath of fire is still alive...
Features:
Dragonslayer is set in the fantasy world of Eo where the player has multiple choice in his actions throughout the map. Thus the player decides which direction the story will take. This should really increase the map's replayability. Apart from that the story-based mechanics will further the deep atmosphere of a lively fantasy world.
The map will be bi-lingual as there is going to be a German and an English version. Unfortunately my English isn't the best. That's why I would really appreciate any help from your side here. You'll get credit for sure! Also any willing testers are welcomed or anyone who wants to help me with the map's creation.
At the end I want to present a small sreen which is taken from the player's starting area so that you have a first impression what the finished map will look like!
