Profile

[Hapuga]

How about making a profile for every creature? This does bring some RPG elements and makes the game more interesting overall.

By this I mean the expansion of standard info like in DK2.

Name, age, combat style, level, gold held, mood, current activity, enemies killed, chickens ate, casino win/loss, #times fled from battle, battles won/lost, #incapacitated in combat, etc.

No need to include all I have mentioned, its just an example of what I mean.
What do you think?

[dk2player]

Well, it worked for the RPG, why not dk3?

Let me make an example to see what your getting at:

Name: Dark Angel
Spells: Disruption-4; Hail Storm-8; Skeleton Army-10
Does: Research, Gamble, Train
Hates: Good creatures, roayal Creatures
Looks: Blue Skined, Red eyes, Strong Body, Blood soacked angel wings, Large broad sword with evidence of killing.

Backround: The Dark Angel is the Dark God themselves. They are so rare, that only 2 per temple are aloud. Some of these creature live only to kill, and will be great help in any army. The only people to throw away these creatures are those afraid to win (and idiots)

Facts: The Strongest creature on your side, can take down large armies in secounds, and only 2 per temple aloud.

Something like this.

Exactly the opposite of what I meant. What you wrote would fit the game manual, instead.

Dark Angel

Name: Alvor
Level: 8
Age: 107
Fighting style: blitzer
Mood: Disappointed
Current activity: Gambling
Kills: 12
Gold held: 3083

sth like this.

Something like combining the stats things from DK1 and the DK2 Creature bar at the top right of the screen?

[Hapuga]

Yes and making it like a small info pannel. For example when you Click on a creature, all the info will be provided. Might be useful for those who like to RP a bit.

I always kept my veteran units in StarCraft in safe place and sent newbies to the battle =D

[dk2player]

ahh... so you want to redo the info bar. That makes much more sence.

[natchoguy]

I fully agree of making it

[Dre@m]

I support this, except, battles won/lost couldn't work really... battle win ratio perhaps (that would mean, fleeing or incapacitation is a loss and killing or incapacitating or making the enemy flee is a win).

As for age, perhaps that could be 1a:30m
a - The value of an age that could litterly just be the measurement of 'age'.

Like, that goblin is 8ages old. Rather than years, since I resent real-time gameplay with disproportionate time measurements. 1 hour !== 1 year

Whereas 30m could == 1age

Heh, 6 hour games could be 12ages or 36ages if you want to do it by 1a:10m

[Blutonium]

hey - what about some little window where you can see the creatures face that you selected, like warcraft / starcraft while we're at it?

3D, if possible, and animated.

Sorry if I'm missing something here, but is this meant to be inside the procession view?

If so: sounds it a cool idea...


If not: Do you mean like the question mark selector from DK1 where you could see what the blood type and what not the creature was?
