Skill ideas ?!

skills for:
AURA/GAME MECHANIC


Friendly Greed:
While your towers are under effect of Friendly Greed you gain XXX amount more Bounty from Enemys.
(must be researched for XXX amount of gold)
"+1 or +2 gold should be already enought, and the research costs should be around 200+ gold but thats your choice"



Treasure of Forests:
Creates a Tree at target location wich allows you to harvest Resources from it. (a use of the skill costs XXX amount of gold)
(this skill can be used only once by every Wisp) "so the maximum amount of wisps needs to be increased to 14"



Force Control:
Force Control allows you to pick one of your sended creeps to support your towers for the next incoming wave.
The selected creep will spawn at the Builder location. (a use of this skill costs XXX amount of Builders Mana)

...
that are just some ideas, maybe you'll inspire by it
tell me what do you think about it guys, thx
got questions? post here or PM ME ^_^

lots of nice ideas.

I don't know how to made most of them

you should try use warcraft ability, here is huge list of :

The List
* no target (fan of knives,...)
* no target area buff (roar, howl of terror, thunder clap,...)
* no target self buff (berserk, wind walk(both do not interrupt move orders),...)
* no target autocast (spirit touch, essence of blight...)
* no target self buff autocast (frenzy)
* no target channeled (starfall, tranquility(I think this one adds a buff))
* no target summon (spirit of vengeance (the one cast by the warden), book of the dead(item), summon bear,...)
* no target non stackable summon (feral spirit)
* no target summon that plays death animation (owl scout, summon water elemental, lava spawn)
* no target autocast summon (spirit of vengeance (the one cast by the avatar, needs corpses))
* no target autocast summon that plays death animation (raise dead, carrion beetles(both need corpses))
* no target morph (metamorphosis, chemical rage,...)
* no target toggleable (defend, immolation, mana shield...)
* single target instant (finger of pain,...)
* single target with projectile (shadow strike(shows damage numbers), storm bolt, fire bolt,(both stun)...)
* single target channeled (siphon mana, life drain, aerial shackes(stuns target),...)
* single target instant buff (unholy frenzy, lightning shield, frost armour,...)
* single target instant autocast buff (inner fire, bloodlust, faerie fire,...)
* single target buff with projectile (acid bomb, drunken haze(both can also affect nearby units),...)
* single or point target spell (shockwave)
* area target instant buff (silence)
* area target channeled (cloud(adds a buff), earthquake(deforms ground), death and decay, monsoon,...)
* area target summon (inferno, healing ward)
* point target summon (sentry ward, pocket factory)
* point target channeled summon(tornado)
* point target destructible summon (volcano)
* point target building placement (tiny farm,...)
* attack based autocast (searing arrows, frost arrows, black arrow, orb of annihilation,... )
* attack based passive (slow poison, cold attack,...)
* aura (devotion, brilliance, unholy, endurance, vampiric, thorns, trueshot, command...)


PS, here is some example of creative modified of exit ability
- negative Bloodlust (make enemy slower, smaller)
- negative inner fire (make enemy less damage, or slower)
- positive faerie fire on allies, with +armor.
- immolation with negative damage on allies = healing aura untill run out mana ?
- thorns aura that only work on enemy, with negative damage ? (eg, you have aura,allies attack enemy = heal allies)

pomp pomp !! updated list

the stone wall, that could be a no target summon, the summon being a wall. There are wall models in "doodads" and set the wall's movespeed to 0 or low, the attackspeed to 0 or low, the damage to 0 or low. Would be very interesting imo. And of course the unit that summons it would have less hp than normal by the wall's hp, to keep it balanced.

hehe sure, i just want to give some ideas they could be interisting for legion td, i keep updating the list everyday
feel free to post all your ideas/opinion's here

Nice spell, it getting better and better.

I need some ideas aura/support ability for new race.

eg : Barrier can use as support ability for new race, or self defend ability on all tower for "wizard race"

thx HuanAK.

i also reworked Machine Gun, and added Flame Thrower, Dark Prayer today,
i hope its usefull somehow & they should be possibe. ^^
now i will start thinking about some Aura's.


but HuanAK what is the idea behind the next race?
- is it a mage race?
i heared about pirate race ?!

its would help a bit while im thinking about skills.

yes, Pirate will in next version, and possible 2nd race depend on how beta going.

for abilities, try make them easy to make (eg, can modified from default ability)

i try my best HuanAK, but you know, i dont need to post auras here they already exist,
like Defense or Attack Speed, Damage aura etc. thats would make not much sense

i also hope you like my 2 new ideas at the top of the list "Friendly Greed" and "Treasure of Forests"

OT: Someone is playing BLC.

Doesn't this require alot of work to implement properly? With all the balancing stuff too. And aren't we going longer and longer away from the idea of Legion TD?

Well... some spells are from BLC, but the basic ideas could be also usefull for Legion TD.
