After almost a year of no updates I’m back with the biggest update yet! The focus of this version has been on refining and streamlining the core gameplay features and removing ‘bloat’ features that were unrefined, slowed down the game, or were frustrating to use. Special attention has been paid to Kingdom management, Hero classes and Item progression. See the changelog below for the list of gameplay changes.

Gameplay
This map is inspired by the 2000 PC game Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim by the now defunct Cyberlore Studios. It is a co-op game for up to 16 players, Player 1 is in charge of building the Kingdom including shops and other supporting structures, whilst the remaining players control Heroes. The Kingdom and Heroes must work together to complete a quest which is chosen by Player 1 at the start of the game.

Compatibility
I am part of a small community of gamers who get together several times a year for LAN parties where we play the latest version of this map. We use version 1.29 of Warcraft III, meaning this map should be compatible with Reforged, though I have used custom models designed for the classic graphics.

Tips for Testing
  • If you are testing this map by yourself, start up a game with yourself as player 1 and a computer as player 2, then type 'test' into the chat, followed by 'testa' to give you control of both the Kingdom and a single Hero.
  • If you are testing this map with one friend, type 'test' then 'testb' to give player 2 control of one of each Hero.

  • Price of towers reduced to 300.
  • Sewers will only appear when the Town Hall is upgraded and are able to spawn raids of variable sizes. New model by Em!
  • Guilds and Altars all removed – made redundant by other changes.
  • Player owned House system removed.
  • Corner bosses removed, will be re-implemented later with Legendary loot.
Known Issues:
  • Sometimes you won’t be able to place a building, a ‘reset peasant’ button has been added that should fix this by instantly replacing the peasant.
  • Occasionally items do not stack, drop them and pick them back up to possibly fix.
  • The Steward charges into combat, not sure how to fix this.
  • The Steward’s Tax Collection animation does not play when collecting Tax.
  • Troll Creeps do not raid when they should.
  • Ensnare’s duration is less than it should be.
Major Changes:
  • Tutorial for new players added as a Quest option, aimed towards new members of my LAN group who are new to Warcraft III in general. Still very WIP
  • Voice lines by Taymader VA added to Tutorial and some Quest Cinematics.
  • Creep spawning changed to a ticket system that increases the number and difficulty of enemies alongside number and level of heroes.
  • Minor Encounters now have random-fixed spawns. They should now be more common, spread out, and varied.
  • Trade nodes in the corners removed, instead a Trading Post spawns at a major spawn point and bandits are drawn to it whenever a Caravan is created.
  • Outlaw system shelved and replaced with Rival Kingdoms quest, where Players 1 and 2 each have their own Kingdom, and Hero players choose which Kingdom to serve and can change allegiance throughout to balance teams. Still very WIP.
  • Tier 2 reworked so that the Kingdom has one Worship and one Invite option, each with their own corresponding heroes. This allows the Kingdom to mix and mix and match heroes they want, while still being mindful of their choices because some options clash.
  • New Steward model custom made by tillinghast.
Hero Changes:

  • Sorceress now Sorcerer, Spellbreaker removed.

  • Wizard
Minor Changes:

  • Wizards Curse Quest shelved
  • New ‘major encounter’, a Dark Castle that spawns Zombies, Banshees and Vampires
  • Fixed an issue where flying creeps weren’t wandering
  • Changed endcaps to more subtle ones from Bloodmoon UI by Mr.Goblin
  • Iron Ingots now drop at varying rates from certain creeps
  • Rate at which hide drops from certain creeps decreased from 100-50%
  • Owlbears age over time, becoming more powerful, and drop an egg when they die so they can be re-summoned at the youngest age.
Known Issues:
  • Sometimes you won’t be able to place a building, a ‘reset peasant’ button has been added that should fix this by replacing the peasant.
  • Occasionally items do not stack, drop them and pick them back up to possibly fix.
  • Trying to purchase Improved Armour without the required ingredients sometimes increases heroes armour value.
Economy
  • Weapon and armour upgrade system overhauled, heroes now pay crafting shops to craft items using resources found while adventuring.
  • Heroes keep crafted items on death and hero change.
  • New Tax System where automated Steward moves around to collect Taxes and bring them back to Town Hall. Killing a Steward grants the killer 50% of the gold they are carrying.
  • Extort ability at Rogues Guild instantly collects all gold in all coffers, but 20% is ‘lost’ in the process.
  • You no longer have to upgrade Towers to Arrow Towers, which now act like burrows. There is also a limit to the amount of towers that can be built with each Town Hall tier.
  • Peasants, Stewards, Damsels and Militia can now garrison in Towers for safety.
  • Player owned houses can now Brew Potions and Ale, small tax goes to Kingdom.
  • New Trade Goods, Metalwork, Leatherwork, and Oil.
    • Metalwork is crafted at the Blacksmith from excess Iron Ore.
    • Leatherworks is crafted at the Tailor from excess Beast Hide.
    • Oil is accessed after inviting Goblins to join the Kingdom.
  • Escorting a trade Caravan no longer awards 1000xp to every hero in range, instead regardless of level each hero in range goes up one level, this keeps it worthwhile to all without being an insane power spike at early levels. XP only awarded if the Caravan has trade goods in inventory.
  • Trading Posts must now be built for 500 gold after defeating mini bosses.
  • When the town spawns the closest Trade Post(s) are replaced with Outlaw Dens, this is to encourage longer more dangerous trade routes.
  • Peasants can now ‘morph’ to access a second build menu.
Outlaw Living
  • Heroes can either choose to become an Outlaw or be declared one by the Kingdom. Outlaws have their own victory condition, earning 3,000 gold.
  • Outlaws become hostile to the Kingdom and Heroes loyal to it, and may not purchase items from the Kingdom, instead relying on loot and the handful of items available at the Outlaw Den.
  • The Outlaw Tent purchasable from the Outlaw Den allows Outlaws to store items, change their hero class, and acts as a hearthstone teleport target.
  • Outlaws may ask to rejoin the Kingdom by typing ‘loyalty1’, but depending on their behaviour the Kingdom may not accept.
Dwarves and Goblins WIP
  • After upgrading to the Castle the Kingdom player will have the choice of inviting either Goblins or Dwarves to the kingdom, this replaces the worship/temples system and better fits the aesthetic of Warcraft.
  • Dwarves grant more crafting options, armoured caravans, and cannon towers (maximum of 2, does not affect Arrow tower limit).
  • Goblins also grant crafting options, a new gambling mechanic at their casino for a new revenue stream, as well as the Oil Derrick which collects Oil (a trade good worth twice as much as grain).
  • Paladin, Shaman, Necromancer, Priestess of the Moon and Naga Sea Witch are no longer available hero classes.
Other Changes
  • Map now supports up to 16 players
  • First pass on map terrain complete, no more random generation in centre.
  • Hero version of the peasant removed, instead a starting class selection dialog appears at the beginning of the game, and a Tent item is purchasable from the Market that creates a Campsite.
  • Guilds Reworked:
    • Warriors Guild - Where heroes can change to be Warrior or Spellbreaker if unlocked, and militia can be hired by Kingdom (no more Call to Arms). Hearthstone renamed recall and given here.
    • Rogues Guild - Where heroes can change to be Rogue or Ranger if unlocked, and the town can extort taxes.
    • Mages Guild - Where heroes can change to be Wizard or Sorceress/Druid if unlocked. The Kingdom can also research new spells which they can cast.
  • Player 1 now selects which quest to play at the start of game.
  • New Quests: Wizard’s Curse and Rival Kingdom (PvP)
  • Dragons:
    • New model animations by Cavman and Athur12A2.
    • Will now spawn on all maps after 30 minutes.
    • Drop Dragon Hide, a rare crafting material when they die.
    • Have 33% spell damage resistance.
    • Deal splash damage again, with the siege damage type.
    • When at half health will land and make melee attacks and slam, but will become vulnerable to melee.
    • Dragon Whelps now hover instead of fly, making them vulnerable to melee.
    • Dragon Matriarch’s range, damage and attack speed increased.
  • Hearthstone is now an item purchasable from Marketplace or Outlaw Stash that teleports the hero and all nearby friendly units to selected Inn or Outlaw Stash (Scroll of Town Portal).
  • Rogue and Wizard soundsets and icons imported from original Majesty.
  • Sorceress Phoenix replaced with Inferno.
  • Cool-down for Rogue’s Sneak Attack increased.
  • Duration for Warrior’s Ensnare fixed.
  • Polymorph can now target friendly units for a laugh.
  • Wolves no longer wander so they can benefit from hide.
  • Flying creeps now more aggressive when wandering.
  • Regen rates for fountains increased.

Known Issues:
  • Sometimes you won’t be able to place a building, a ‘reset peasant’ button has been added that should fix this by replacing the peasant.
  • Occasionally items do not stack, drop them and pick them back up to possibly fix.
  • Items sometimes drop as 100 stack, please let me know if you have any idea why.
  • Trying to purchase Improved Armour without the required ingredients sometimes increases heroes armour value.
  • Sometimes the Steward/Tax system just stops working. Again, let me know if you have any idea why.

The genre isn't really RPG but Survival.
  1. A bear came gave some blows to the peasant, got away, came back and so on until it killed it. And then a golem, kind of early in the game. Same with Wind Riders. Basically you can get your peasants killed almost at the start of the game.
  2. Resting Aura doesn't have a DISBTN. The icon looks green during game pause/F10. Learn about icons and how to import them or how to make DISBTNs easily:
    Button Manager v1.8.2
    BLP Lab v0.5.0
    Complete Icon Tutorial - All About Icons
    How to Make an Icon
  3. Where do you get blight from to build the Ner'zhul temple over? Actually, these building types and their purpose is not yet implemented.
  4. Maybe you could try more randomization of tile types and maybe some landscape change (raise-lower terrain).
Right now, the map is rather simple compared to other maps of the genre. It should be improved a bit with more things to do, build and fight against as generally the gameplay is quite repetitive even with the randomization.
The good side is that the gameplay is co-op.

Awaiting Update.

Hello, I've played majesty 2 and enjoyed it(yes i abused the trading posts in it). I played this as the King at a LAN game and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the interesting antics that happened was building structures close together blocked the walking path of the Player heroes and my villages, to fix this the players forced attacked the flour mill allowing the players to return to their grinding. fortunately through this we discovered a minor bug where i couldnt build a replacement flour mill but thankfully the map has mills around it so i still got my income from them, we all laughed about this after. Another thing was me as King was spamming the world chat for donations towards 'OUR' kingdom due to the lack of suficient income from players through the marketplace and tavern, this was fun with a bit of light humor mixed in resulting in players using the player trade to give me gold allowing me to upgrade and build faster, i'm not sure if the market prices increases for each upgrade teir for equipment or not but having them increase a lot would benefit the king more.
I cant wait to play this game at the next LAN and i encourage you all to play it with a 5-12 people LAN as it is a lot of fun. Previous experience in majesty isnt required but is helpful as there arent hints telling you what to do.

The tutorial audio is very broken for the heroes, to the point audio was all playing over eachother in a complete mess and people were forced to quit out from headaches. It really needs a touch-up.
