This was pretty awesome, I played up until the troll caves, the new settlement, until taking a break.

Reminds me of Death Knights 3. Loved the variety of quests and monsters, and finding new towns and new quests. Levelling system is simple and satisfying. I found playing solo as Hydralisk I was able to methodically make my way through everything, so I worry that with six players it will be too easy, but maybe you accounted for that?

I found the music too repetitive so I turned it off. For an RPG of this length there needs to be more variety in the song, and maybe different songs as you get to different areas.

Also I think having only one spell is too simplistic for this RPG. I'm guessing everyone shares the teleport back to town and the heal spell, so that leaves only one unique spell per character.

I also wish you would activate the trigger that mutes unit sounds, but maybe that's just my own preference.

The boss battle was pretty challenging and killed me, so I kited him up to the water ponds and I was able to finish him off there. I enjoyed the prompt warning you of an upcoming boss battle (building suspense) and his roar ability pulling you in range of his melee attack.

I look forward to playing this at the next LAN with a full crew. Well done.

P.S. Remember: love is fleeting, but Starcraft is forever.

Yes! Some bosses scale for players, and I plan to add more variety as the party grows in size also, I already am working on version 1.1 patch with converting more over to death counters, and adding a bit more complexity (while also keeping it simpler in the coding)


I had originally planned on 3 pieces of music being in the game, one up until the 2nd town, and then one specifically spliced into boss fights as well. But the fact that I can't stop a wav file from playing and start a different one turned me off to it. How do other maps time this better? Do I need to split that one song into say 10 second segments or something? Sorry, still new to this, first full map I've done! haha


Fully agreed! Currently in the works on making 2 more per class, and may bring the total way up higher also, fiance was getting a bit annoyed at the 3 month dev time already, so I wanted to release it rather than put it on the back burner while I develop more ideas, and push a release down the line with the added abilities.


I'm so glad you enjoyed it at least! The website (legendsofmagiek.com) will also have the most stable release always available to download at the top as well. I haven't added all content or lore to the site at all, it'll be a slow progression to get it all up... there is a LOT of content and storyline, and I'm still flushing out the concepts for acts 2 and 3. (5 total currently in my head)

Good stuff.

You can split sound files into smaller sections with Audacity, then time them with DCs. You can even clone all the split sections and add fade outs to each of them, then activate a fade out and fade in to the next track when music changes, DJ-style.

Post updated with new version.

I just completed it. Didn't see that plot development coming...

Solid boss battle with the shield keeping him immune forcing you to switch targets, but it felt a little static especially for a "Supreme Mage". Shouldn't he be throwing more spells at you?

There was a typo as well when you enter the caves for the first time which beguns the "final battle sequence" however you describe it. When all the Goliaths are being destroyed. It said "cable" when it should say "able". This was a great battle sequence which built hype for the upcoming confrontation with the warlock, I must say.

Looking forward to the finished product.

simple but fun map. Understandable as its your first. Can recommend playing this if u wanna do a fun little grind for an hour or so. Looking forward to an update or maybe a new map to expand on what you have here.

Update requested, and just for you I made it! jk, been working on it for days.

But it's up! Lots of changes! Hope everyone likes the new streamlined gameplay.
