Arctic wolf
element : frost
best in intelligence, after that, strengbth

Spells should be :
1. Arctic cold : freezes a target and dealing medium damage over time. Also have a small area of effect, without freeze.
2. Arctic wave : sends a cold wave of water to the target area, dealing medium damage and chilling them. (well, a bit like breath of frost)
3. Cold claws (auto-castable maybe) : Gives a chance to freeze or chill on attack.
4. Summer fur (ultimate) : The wolf changes his winter fur to summer fur, increasing attack and movement speed. Lasts 30-60 sec. 240-360 sec cooldown.
Wolf ability : hibernate : greatly decreases food loss, a bit increasing health regeneration. However, it took 10 seconds to hibernate and to dehibernate. If the arctic wolf is attacked while he is hibernated, he will be shocked for a few seconds, and loose 10% hp. (this skill could be instead of sleep for him)

(Have I wrote to the bad topic ? xD )

Welcome to the forums, Naba! This is an okay place to post it. I'll critique it in the other thread (The submission and discussion thread) tomorrow. Introduce yourself in the Say Hi! section if you would, so we can all greet you properly

ok, forget about me, I have big connection problems since sunday, getting internet is like refreshing for 30 minutes to get 2 minutes of internet, rince and repeat. For that reason I'll keep it short and just say don't wait for me, I won't be able to post my wolf until my connection problem is solved.

YAR, 'm back!

I'll post my wolf even if you already decided ;p

Veteran Wolf

Appearance: Like alpha male, with a slightly greyish colour, must appear as an old but strong wolf, with possibly a scar over one of his eyes and the tip of his fur totally grey while the center is still like the alpha male.

Starting Stats: 18 Str, 10 Agi, 22 Int. Strength and agi should have a low increase (slightly bigger for strength while Int increase much, since his strength is just some relinquished thing from the past, he won't evolve it too much (was just to give him HP since he's a survivor), primary stat is int.

Advantages: A lot of time spent to be hunt and survive make him effective to help the pack against all sort of threats (major party buffer/helper).
Weaknesses: Though still relatively strong and very cuning, he lost most of his agility due to his old age, he's slow to attack/move and rely mostly on his skills (not good at fight).

What was missing in this game was a wolf dedicated to buff the party ^^
except for alpha female (mostly heal anyway) there was only wolves with 1 aura skill to help or so, not much as a real major buffer.
should have a slow attack so that he is not much effective in battle (like for scout), it's not his goal, maybe attack like a blade wolf while having less damage at start.

Abilities
Veteran Advice (passive) - another aura skill, the veteran advice help the pack by giving advices to manage the pack better. While not much, he helps the pack to gain more coordination, losing food slower and attacking/moving faster (himself too)
Don't work if there is less than 2 other wolves in the aura area (must be 3 wolves at least to work with the veteran, wanted to make it 4 to force the pack to stay grouped to benefit of it but I thought about leavers and games with low number of players)
buff is 5/10/15/20% less food loss (by better managing the food stock), 2/5/7/10% damage and attack speed increase, 2/5/7/10% move increase) area is 900/1100/1300/1500. MUST have at least 3 wolves in the area to take effect.
Alternatively, the bonuses could depend of the number of wolves present in the area, it's better this way, like : 1*wolves% less food loss, attack speed and damages is 0.5*wolves% and move 0.5*wolves% making the skill little effective with small packs but highly effective if all the pack stay grouped since it's easier to improve the management of the pack with more members present. Force teamwork and make it useless in low number packs while really interesting for a real teamplay game in 5vs5

Creep Hunt - Having survived creeps for a long time, the veteran wolf know how to deal with them, he can make

Human Hunt - Having survived creeps for a long time, the veteran wolf know how to deal with them, he can make

Trick Councealance -

Ancient Alpha Power (ultimate) - Having been the ancient alpha male, the veteran still have some authority over the pack. He can take the lead for some seconds to give a huge boost to the pack under his commandment.
Duration 15 secs, 120 secs cooldown, area 1500
With an eased ability to order the other wolves, the effects of his advices are doubled (tripled at level 2) for 15 seconds

I hope you'll really like it. I thought about making a basic wolf but then I asked myself "what does this map really need in term of gameplay which is not already in?" And then I came up with a major buffer who could be a real support depending of the number of wolves with him ^^

I like your core idea; an old wolf who has lost his sheen and now just guides the pack instead of leading it directly. However, I'm not so sure of his skills. Since his attacking is mediocre, he should have at least one decent power spell, but I see only support (which isn't terrible, persay).

I would have to get a skinner to do this wolf if you want him to look old with a scar and interesting color shading.

Veteran Advice - Good god. This can be done pretty easily, but there's a problem: I can't make auras turn on/off by number of wolves. This skill can be done. I don't see it being a huge problem.

Creep Hunt/Human Hunt - These shouldn't be two abilities. It's kind of like having Critical Strike and Evasion on a unit when they could just use Drunken Brawler. I'm not sure what they do yet anyways =p

Trick Concealance - No such word as Concealance =p. Need to know what this does before I can say anything.

Ancient Alpha Power - For one, this has no element which all ultimates require. (Except for the Radioactive and DragunWulf, but they're special) Two, it would require far too much coding to be effective, and it might not even work. Modifying passives, especially auras, is a hellstorm of problems. Plus, it doesn't feel like an ultimate. 15 seconds of extra movespeed, attack speed, and less food loss doesn't feel like any ultimate I'd like. I think he should come out of nowhere and suddenly be able to kick some serious ass. Or something.

Ok, I'm finishing it ;p

Veteran Advice : if you can code it so the effects can vary depending on the number of
wolves in the area, then no need to limit it by having a minimum number
of wolves in, since anyway the less there are, the less effect it does.
so, if it's possible, it'll only go like this :



Veteran Advice (passive) - the veteran advice help the pack by giving advices to manage the pack
better. While not much, he helps the pack to gain more coordination, losing food slower and attacking/moving faster (himself too)
1*wolves% less food loss, attack and move speed is a 0.5*wolves% increase (wolves only count when in the aura area)
is it possible to make something like this (I like it better than taking effect when there is a certain amount of wolves anyway)
bonuses are for level 1, multiply it by the level to know the amounts of higher levels. at level 4 it's 4*wolves% for food and 2*wolves% for speed. Also, it may become very handy (cause as it is it's just a "common" skill) if it could also reduce the other wolves skills cost (then I would reduce the % to 0.75 per level instead of 1 for food loss reduction)

This one may change to this :
EDIT : OWWW I had a wonderful idea about something like the scout
trap abilities but with tactical formations giving different bonuses. This way it could have 4 formations, one increasing attack speed, another increasing move speed, one increasing critical strikes and a last one giving evasion or something like that, I'm working on it



Improved Hunt - (fused the two hunt in a single one, I wanted to make two different at first, to give bonuses against different ennemies, this way changing the targets and way of playing of the pack, but well, guess it was stupid) Having survived ennemies for a long time, the veteran wolf know how to deal with them and fight them more effectively.
Give 5/10/15/20% more damage to the pack and reduce ennemies damages by the same amount. I should think of something else but it's all for now, I'm working on it, but I'm more interested in finding a good ultimate at the moment.

This one is subject to change



Concealed Pack - By helping the pack move unnoticed or stay camouflaged to ambush, the Veteran can strike his ennemies by surprise.
Invisibility on all wolf in the area but only after a few seconds when the skill is used. Fade time : 5/4/3/2 secs, area 900/1100/1300/1500, no movespeed bonus, bonus damage when you break invisibility, 25/50/75/100 (on each wolf, that's why it may be lowered, how about 20/40/60/80?), invisibility last 6/9/12/15 secs, cooldown is 60 secs.

This one I won't change or just for tweaks



Some Other Ability ^^

working on it
EDIT : ok, I think it may go with an evasion/critical strike bonus to every wolf but with low chances.



Ancient Alpha Power (ultimate)
- Having been the ancient alpha male, the veteran still have some
authority over the pack. He can take the lead for some seconds. Have to find something else as an effect ;p
ANOTHER EDIT : maybe I found what to get, how about an avatar skill?
the wolf being old, he rush in first line boiling with fiery anger, not caring for his live, sacrificing himself to protect the other wolves. Automatically taunt ennemies (ennemy players too) get an increased amount of HP, bonus attack and more defense, but HP are drained at a constant speed, because even if he doesn't sense the pain in this berserk state, it greatly strain his old body. Hp drain can kill him if he activated it while not having sufficient HP.
the goal of this skill would be to make him die or be terribly damaged in the end but while under the effect, he attracts the ennemies attack but with like 100 def or something like that, making him nearly only lose hp to the drain, thus protecting the other wolves. Also his bonus attack would make him effective in combat for this short time. it's not perfect, it should be tweaked (like why give him bonus hp if they're drained anyway) but if you think of it as a good ultimate I'll definitely work on it.



also, for the direct damage skill, I don't want it to have one, his goal is to improve greatly the effectiveness of the whole pack, not attacking (like the alpha female in a way) and (but since I didn't wrote it at that time you couldn't have guessed) his concealed pack skill (trick concealance ;p sorry for my english error) give a bonus on first strike on every wolf, this way you can easily go for 300/400 bonus damages with it. I considered it as his damaging ability, that's why I probably won't do a "real" (direct) one.

Sorry if it's not finished, I just started to think about it so even if I know globally what it should do, I'm still thinking on what should the skills do exactly.
Wait just a few more days please.



EDIT : OK, I thought about it and how about making it a buffer using the number of wolves present around him to increase the effects of his skills? Thus, making him a wolf whose skills are not empowered by night/stat/health or things we find almost in everymap but by the number of friends around, making him kind of unique to play with.
Could it be done? If so, I'll finish him tomorrow or on saturday at least and change his skills so that everyone change according to wolves in area.

Dude. Holycrap. Do me a favor and sort that post out. Use proper paragraphs and stuff, and organize it. I can't tell what's what >.<

done, is it ok like that?
sorry for posting huge crappy posts ;p

Also If I could get you on msn on saturday between (7 hour difference is it?) 7am and 2pm (your time) it would be good, so that I won't have to discuss everything in one post but only speak about it one step after another.

I can't. I'm going on vacation on saturday for a week =(

well, tomorrow maybe? just for like 30 mins/ 1 hour max, so I can know what you like and what you dislike and find something else for when you'll be back ^^
same hours, but tomorrow, is it ok? I'll be on msn anyway, just come and wizz me if you're ok.

Yeah, i'll be on tomorrow. I can do that for ya.

Star Wolf (Wolf O'Donnell)
Element: Lasers

Appearance: medium sized gery wolf with a cool glow attached to the mouth. Which he will fire lasers out of.

Starting Stats: Str=11, Agi=13, Int=25

Advantages: Quick attack speed, ranged, excellent disrupter
Weaknesses: Not much HP, not so fast in movement.

Abilities:
Wolf Phantasm - Dashes quickly to a given point, damaging all units between him and the point. The distance traveled, speed of travel and damage caused raise per level.

Can't Let you Do That - Wolf can't let you do that! He instantly lets loose his famous quotation, stopping the foes in the target area form using their last issued command, as well as stunning them. AOE and stun time increase per level.

Charged Laser - The longer after using this ability that Wolf goes without attacking, the higher his next attack's damage is. Time needed to charge goes down whiel attack power cap goes up per level.

Reflector - Creates a reflector which negates attack damage back to the attacker but drains mana per second. The mana cost and damage reflected boost per level.

Starwolf Airstrike - Calls in his team to begin barraging the area with lasers from the skies. Dealing large damage but having the tradeoff of being caught in the crossfire.

BTW, I have sound files of all of the quotes from Wolf, if you need them.

Your so crazy about that star wolf .

That second spell is basically silance with stun or at least iam guessing but nice idea you got there.

Wouldnt a silence and a stun be kinda useless. A stun stops from casting and well ermm stuns

It's not a silence, it stops ALL commands, spell or not.

aaal commands would be a stun.

Silance only stops the person from casting an shit but apparently the spell is just a plan stun.
