Title: Idea from a dream.. Miniboss
Post by: Ellie on April 08, 2013, 06:40:37 pm
Okay, first off, I'm not entirely serious about this, but I saw this in a dream I was having about cRPG and thought it might be interesting to share the idea anyways, just in case :p

So, in my dream it was pretty much normal cRPG, except when the flags came up to become mater of the field, there was a way to trigger an optional 'Boss' spawn. A bot with high stats in everything, twice as much health as most characters, and a randomly chosen set of gear from a list of gear sets.

If you were to manage to kill it before the round ended, you would earn additional xp for yourself and your team, scaled up by whatever multiplier is currently held.

...of course, my dream was in the highly unlikely scenario that i was the last one alive on my team with the flags, which would never happen because i suck. and for some reason the boss ended up being a pirate. But details, details.

Sounds like DTV.

Hmmm. Not a bad idea, actually. Maybe broaden it to a third (npc-controlled) faction that randomly spawns in battles and attack both teams? The black knights or something? Heavily armed and war-hardened mercenaries that prey upon weakened factions by entering ongoing battles creating confusion to easily defeat the already exhausted armies?

Could lead to an interesting battlefield-dynamic. When they win, both teams lose their multiplier, of course.

Rounds would get drawn out a lot more often if this were the case

Not if they only appeared very rarely, like every 100th battle or something.

Would be ok if they made the bots ok at blocking. One mod I played in warband was pretty interesting how they made the bots feint at times.

A dream about cRPG? That's quite specific. Has anyone else had dreams about cRPG?

I've dreamed about games many times but they have always been made up by me. They were no real games.

OT: Sounds fun +1

I once dreamed of a medieval tourney that was at least inspired by cRPG. I had to kill my best friend (it was duel to the death). Kind of a nightmare. I bashed his head in through the helmet with a warhammer. His family didn't like me anymore afterwards.

I've had zombie dreams before when I was really into L4D, and I've not actually had Civ dreams, but I've been trying to go to bed and will still see the hexagons in my head.

Also after long periods of playing cRPG I'll be almost asleep and have images of me trying to stay alive, and I'll have to basically "put down my guard" when I see the images of people surrounding me with sharp pointy sticks.

Maybe the spawning conditions could be something specific like if it's 1v1 when the flags are out. which would make it risky to go after since if you died, your team would lose, and if you left the flags, the enemy team could potentially capture them while you're away.

 I dunno. Just some added thoughts on it now that I'm awake and not half asleep xD

Make the boss Mylet except his robe is 40 armor to torso, legs and head

Then give him 150 health, 30 str and agi, heavy gauntlets, masterwork snowflakes, 8 pt and 10 athletics

Then you have the deadliest boss who ever existed, short of omgwtfopnerfbbq bosses with 5 billion health, 2000 ps and 1000 agi with 10 athletics

I always thought it would be cool to have a "Golden Round" during the unlikley situation of a draw on a map.

During the golden round the game type changes to VIP. Each team has the player with the worst KD declared their VIP/King and they are turned into an almighty str crutch with massive health.

250HP
30STR
3AGI
10PS
0WPF
6Shield Skill
6PW
0Riding

My five or six dollars.
