Do you want us to use a pathing based "path" detection system or a region based one?

[Combuster]

Woho , is there a limit of how big the escape level can be?

And there will only be 1 player right ?

[Lartin]

Do the map have to be the common "Escape map" (Path and when you walk down you are dead) or are we even aloud to change that a bit (or a bit more )?

up to you! (really)

up to you! (I'd keep it small)

And there will only be 1 player right ?

up to you! (Testing will be more fun with more players)

The task is to make an escape map. As long as it is one, it'll be accepted. You're allowed to change as much as you like as long as it remains an escape. (Using some roleplay elements is accepted, but making an complete rpg out of it is not accepted).

Why? Escape maps never had abilities except for those stupid ones with windwalk and auras. Demonhunter ftl.

[Zakamutt]

Skar, play Jungle Labyrinth for escapes with abilities that don't suck. Also, your abilities can be passives if you want to be anal-retentive about it
Additionally, the auras weren't stupid at all as they inspired a certain measure of teamwork being good, and windwalk is more interesting than no windwalk at all especially if done right.

Question:

In the hypothetical circumstance that I develop my current concept, would it be alright to have two different units with exactly the same stats but different names (FOR RP REASONS LOL I LIKE LORE)?


OFFTOPIC:
I just realized my sig looks vaguely like a tank O.o
