My Fan Levels & Stories

by Epicazeroth » Tue Aug 21, 2012 9:11 pm

OK, here's my shot at making a level, based on my anti-hero.
NOTE: There will be multiple parts to "Exterminate the Swarm" (Sarelgaz's Lair being the first part), and maybe some related stages (like how Ruins of Acaroth is related to the first six, sorta.) If you look at the Frozen Highlands, there are 3 plateaus: Sarelgaz's Lair, a small one behind it, and a big one at the back. However, the big one has two smaller cliffs on each side. Zalbrac is on the small one in the middle.
NOTE: All enemies in waves are listed in the order they appear in.
===
Exterminate the Swarm Part 2: Plateau of Shells
General! In the confusion after our fight with Sarelgaz, we failed to explore the caves of the Frozen Highlands. Last month, however, we sent a scouting party, which never returned. When we went to get them, we discovered only their empty, drained bodies and broken equipment. The High Council of Magi has been examining this ever since, and they have discovered the cause: There are no Spider Queens, only the Heads of the Swarm. The King has since ordered an Extermination of the Swarm. Now we march to the home of Zalbrac, Lord of Beetles. Beware, though, since to reach Zalbrac we will have to fight through the treacherous Mountain Trolls that live there, and only specially trained troops can stand the extreme cold. We are, however, fortunate in that the secret society tasked to keep back the Swarm happens to be stationed near us.
-
There are 12 waves, which are specified later in the post.
-
Map: Don't know yet, but it'll be prettylong, 2 spawn points and another in the middle, with a campsite in the upper right hand corner. There are two chokepoints, two paths to the exit, and 14 Strategic Points.

Not only is this my longest post, I'm almost absolutely sure it's the longest post on these forums ever.
Feedback is greatly appreciated (except telling me to make it shorter, nothing I can do about that.)
-----
What should I make next? I'll probably make another Highlands level, plan some more, then start a story about the creation of Krelorus and Silinto.

Why does it look hard? Also, I'm not craving attention, it's just that I want more than none, which is what this got before.

I see that you made two new towers, I'll read your level in a few days ^^ too many insects already in the game but it seems fun.
It'd be nice to see one drawing of yours showing the roads,curves, chokepoints..

I don't know how to upload images to here. Or draw on a computer. Sarelgaz is where I got the idea for these. And, yes, I did make new towers.

@Yoppyx: It did, thx!
-
@Scorpion: ...And? That's easier than some of the existing bosses.
-
Also, I edited it, because I may do more than just 3. Anyway, who wants to form a fanfic club, and collaborate on different levels/heroes/stories? It'll be much easier than if we work separately.
