We have all had our bounding days and our RPG days. Playing each bound hoping the next one will have a twist or turn that will make it that much better than the rest. I have had this idea for a long time and I never really got around to making it, until now. You play the role of an Elite Bounder...one of the few choosen to take on the mission. And that mission is to Bound your way through 6 Worlds (or Areas) and defeat the Boss that lies inside. Each World gets harder as you progress with the obstacles and tasks getting tougher. I made it complex in a way...if you think about it, in a Bound you don't want anyone holding you back, but in an RPG you usually want the teamwork and support that you can get. You must work as a team, defeating the bounds that lay the path to the next world. Complete the obstacles, kill the enemies, and defeat the boss that lurks inside. After successfully defeating the 6 known Worlds, you are then taken to a path of utter defeat as you must then bound your way some more to the Final Boss's Lair. His world isn't easy, and it is going to take teamwork to actually beat the game. This game is perfect for those who love Bounding, RPGs, or Both!

How It Works:

---

Experience points are the main thing! There are 4 different difficulty settings ranging from Easy to Expert. The difficulty setting is what sets the Enemies HP % and your experience gain. For example Easy mode sets the enemy to 25% Health, but you only gain 1/4 the xp. However, don't expect to play anything above easy by yourself. The harder difficultys are meant for people who have high level characters that they loaded. For every bounding level you beat, you gain experience...but remember, it is a team game and therefore most of your team must beat the bound with you to defeat it. Another way to gain experience of course is to kill the enemies that hide inside the worlds.

I have created a Save///Load code for those of you who hate playing RPGs and maybe having to leave, or you die...etc...etc...Whatever the case is, I have put the time into created a Save///Load code that allows you to save your character at anytime in the game, and load him up when you want to play again. Of course for those hackers out there that like to map hack, I have done away with that since stealing of codes will not be tolerated. The only downside to the code is, you get your experience to the level it was...which means if you had 53400 experience when you saved...yet the last level was 50000, then your gonna load with 50000 experience. As far as Gas goes, you will get the correct gas amount that you had when you saved for loading.

This isn't one of those RPG's where you can equipt all sorts of weapons and use all sorts of spells....because it isn't and with this you won't need it to have fun. I have spent a couple hours now just testing what I have done so far and you won't believe the fun people actually have playing it. For once, a Bound style RPG with save///load code and team work based...come give it a try, and hit me up with suggestions, feedback if you ever tested it with me, or whatever!

Edit: So I am running a little slow working on this map and I apologize to those of you who test and want to test it. I was planning on releasing a map today, but it was having testing problems, so that is the reason why! I will get back to work on this map ASAP and will be working on it a lot.

You could use burrowed units with giving-cycling to conserve locations and time.

You totally got the idea from this post.

I recall talking about a Bound RPG concept with blacklight a few months ago. Don't go taking credit for old ideas.
And besides, he said:

Quote from Shook1(ConFed)

I have had this idea for a long time and I never really got around to making it, until now.

I hope this map of yours works... This is what most B.net ppl hope for... besides hero wars [my personal favorite is Hero Wars Greece {I'm a tanking Zergling baby}]
Most B.net pplz like bounds, but not as much as those boring RPGs ppl make trying to act all cool... but i think you have the BIGSHOT with this map... but please... do not create sucky bounding, that weakens the map experience... but if you could make it like range from a 4 to a 10 by the 5th world, that would be impressive, then just make the 6th world a 11 out of 10 difficulty [Almost Impossible] and impress the B.netters... no, not just them, impress the WORLÐ of STARCRAFT!!! [we seriously need a World of Starcraft {like World of Warcraft} but funner... and not have to pay every month!!! {OMG Why do ppl want to spend 15$ a month on a game}]

Wow so hostile people geez. First of all I have never been to this site before and if you look...I just joined a couple days ago if not yesterday. And yes My Idea is new and creative...the difference is that I at least do stuff with my ideas and not just sit around and talk about them. I had this idea a long time ago with a friend as well, but we didn't work on it, so just because you had the idea of something like this, doesn't mean I "stole" your idea. As far as I know, there is no Bound RPG out on Starcraft yet....so it is a new fresh idea///game that people so far have enjoyed.

Edit:

Okay so I don't think I explained it as deep. The 5x5 arena is the bounding arena. Your team as a whole must get through a certain number of bounds...(For Example: to get to world 1, you must beat the first 7 bounds). Then that world gets unlocked and it is an obstacle of bounds in an RPG style gameplay. (Example Again: You won't be able to beat Worlds 2-7 w/o upgrading your Zergling, and you won't be able to beat Hard-Expert without it either.) There is a save///load code system that I put to enable you to save your character for w/e reason, and load him up later. The Worlds get harder as the number goes ^. World 1 is fairly easy, but in World 2-6 there are obstacles and paths that are going to require higher level characters and teamwork.

And as always...feedback, comments, and criticism is appreciated!

I still say that i dont care if anyone "steals" my idea, i'm just too lazy, but they should at least make the map Awesome with the capital A

A map that will probably rock...yet I suck at bounds so I can't play it.

I thought it was implied that I was kidding. I guess I was wrong.

they grow up soo fast and
i wana play it NOW!

I am looking for testers for East Server...so if you are interested, my name is iSW)C.Ronaldo

If your going to be Hosting this... You better message me back dude... {If your reading this now and is playing SC BW} look for FooFighters[WP] I changed my screenname in the game b/c everyone annoyed me about the ichigo name

O ya, what channel do you hang out in in the West and East servers?!

East - Op iSW-
West - I melee in West b/c they don't hack as much as East

I was just thinking, after reading about how this map has 6 worlds and all, how great it would be if it had a Save/Load, and then I noticed you had put one in. Awesome. It seems like an interesting map.

I tested this map, it looks AWESOME so far

Looking good, just remember all those things i've mentioned to you earlier when it comes to switches and displaying text for all players

Hey Shook {iSW} guess what... i think you might like this 1 level bound thing, i worked hard on it, but it was good still... may be sucky looking... but it hard... Fix up anyway you want...
Well, here it is... Please add to the bounding, it would be awesome!

Yeah looks good...I will put that in there

I'll make another one, that was FUN to make it

Do you have a demo out? I'd really like to play this.
