Chapter 102: Class and Building Planning

Soon, the three of them finished reading the concept draft written by Chen Mo.

The concept sketch depicts the prototype of the game, including the core fun, infrastructure, and more. Basically, after reading the concept draft, the three of them also have a certain understanding of the final form of the game Warcraft.

However, to Chen Mo's surprise, these three people actually complained about the name of the game first.

"Warcraft? It's a strange name, why not call it Azeroth Battle? Zheng Hongxi scratched his head.

"'Battle' is a good word, and it is more in line with the characteristics of real-time strategy games. But wouldn't the name be a bit like Legion Conquest? Qian Kun said.

"But what exactly is Warcraft...... There are orcs and undead in Azeroth, but there are no demonic beasts......" Zheng Hongxi was still struggling with this question.

Su Jinyu is a little worried about the future of this game: "That, store manager, I researched and found that the field of RTS is basically dominated by "Legion Conquest", and there are several domestic manufacturers who want to try to make RTS, but they are not very successful. Can we get to the level of Legion Conquest? ”

Chen Mo was speechless, why is the focus so strange?

BUT THEN AGAIN, WARCRAFT'S ENGLISH IS WARCRAFT, AND IT REALLY DOESN'T HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH WARCRAFT. But this translation reflects the game genre very well, and it is domineering, so it has become a classic translation, and "Warcraft" has also become a proper noun.

"Don't worry, you don't have to doubt my ability to make a name or my predictions about the game." Chen Mo said.

Su Jinyu said: "Wow, the store manager is mighty, the store manager is atmospheric, the store manager, when will we start doing it?" ”

Chen Mo said: "Don't worry, divide labor first." ”

"First of all, Hongxi, you do the content related to the plot setting. I'll give you a synopsis, and the general plot is mainly about the two people, Illidan and Arthas, and you have to keep that in mind at all times. ”

"You know all the quest descriptions, story dialogue, class and building descriptions, etc., so I don't need to emphasize them."

"Derived from this is the game's race building and class setting. We are currently four races, humans, orcs, elves, and undead. The classes and buildings of the four races are completely different, and when considering the packaging, you must consider the fit with the plot, which you have to discuss with Qian Kunduo. ”

"This time, it's not enough to achieve the level of "Lifeline", you have to be mentally prepared. This time the plot is going to be a classic. ”

Zheng Hongxi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I'll try my best." ”

Chen Mo continued: "Qian Kun, you are mainly responsible for the level and value. The balance of each class, the level from easy to difficult, the growth of hero attributes, etc., you and Hongxi discuss these things. ”

"The first thing is to make all the numerical models, which you should all understand. It's a long-term job that doesn't need to be done in one step. ”

Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Su Jinyu added: "Yes, anyway, the store manager will tell you: It's good, but it has to be rewritten." ”

Zheng Hongxi said: "Well, yes. ”

Chen Mo: "......"

Qian Kun: "......"

Chen Mo continued: "Others, goldfish, you can help me make some concept drafts of the original paintings of the characters and scenes. There are also rules-related things, and you know more about them. ”

Su Jinyu nodded: "Understood." ”

Chen Mo said: "I have time to rummage through the Azeroth universe more, there are many things on it that can be used directly. In addition, some of the content in the Western fantasy worldview can also be used as inspiration, such as "The Supreme Divine Ring". ”

After arranging tasks for everyone, everyone began to get busy.

Of course, it is impossible to expect Zheng Hongxi and Qian Kun to perfectly reproduce the plot and setting of "Warcraft", and Chen Mo has to give them a big framework guide.

Back in the studio, Chen Mo used the memory playback potion and began to recall the memories that had been forgotten.

Time seems to go back to many years ago, when playing games in an Internet cafΓ© was an afternoon.

The first is the class.

There are not too many classes in Warcraft, there are four races in total, and each race has about 12 troops.

Chen Mo began to list charts, planning the attributes of each class, including price (gold/wood/population), attack speed, attack distance, movement speed, attack type, armor type, health, mana, attack and defense (primary, intermediate, advanced), special abilities, and so on.

After that, Chen Mo filled in the various classes in turn, starting with the Night Elves: Elves, Archers, Huntresses, Blade Throwers, and Horned Eagle Beasts......

For each class, their attributes must be planned according to the content of the list.

In fact, for Chen Mo, with his current numerical ability, even if he didn't use the memory playback potion, it was enough to complete the entire numerical structure independently.

However, in order to exercise Qian Kun, Chen Mo still decided to give a big framework first and let Qian Kun figure it out by himself.

And then there's the architecture.

The building system of Warcraft is still relatively complex, and the buildings here are not like Red Alert, in which the building only exists as a functional module, brittle like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.

More than a dozen mobilized soldiers casually blew up the barracks, and they still took machine guns, which is unscientific.

The buildings in "Warcraft" are basically city defense armor, and only some specific types of troops will be dismantled relatively quickly.

In addition, players can also make their base more secure through architectural slots.

With the addition of building attributes to the overall numerical balance system, it becomes rare for a home to be stolen inexplicably in Red Alert.

In addition, with building upgrades, production of troops, and other settings, "Warcraft" has also done a very good job. The base camp can be upgraded from the first level to the third level, is it the first to climb the technology to produce high-level soldiers? Or do you just build a junior booster or TR? Technology-related settings allow players to choose from a much larger strategy.

In addition, what soldiers are produced by different buildings, what class of technology are available, and how are each buildings positioned...... These are all factors to consider.

In addition to producing primary combat units such as archers and huntresses, the Night Elves' War Tree also has 1,000 HP and good attack power, and can even be restored by eating trees.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that many professional players will choose to use the War Ancient Tree to assist in farming and improve the efficiency of farming, which has also become a regular tactic of the Night Elves.

The setting of the class and the building are the essence of "Warcraft", and it is worth Chen Mo to spend a lot of time to plan well.
