Before starting this mod I dreamed of a mod, which would work similar to the custom battles-mod. It would allow the player to choose a quick FAMOUS battle, in this way:
Main Menu
Quick battle-
Famous battle-
*a list of famous battles, for example Waterloo, Thermopylaio, Cannae and Cr
I say yes, go for it. You could also maybe do small fights like against the Lethrblaka and the Ra'zac. I can't remember how it happened in the book but you could have another option for the saving of Arya.
I always wanted to duel the Ra
I haven't read the book in ages but i think Brom and Eragon fought the Ra'zac together. If you did do the Ra'zac quick battle you could first fight them with Brom and then it could switch to the fight with Roran there.
tintin? why do you have access to this forum?
the idea is good
Now a researcher for our team:)
More ideas for quick battles:
When Arya gets ambushed at the beginning of Eragon.
I'm not sure if it was Gil'ead or Dras-Leona but i'm sure that it was said the elves used to own one of them before Galbatorix took them. There could be an option to play the siege of it.
When Glaedr and Oromis went off to fight towards the end of Brisingr. You could play them in that battle.
When Eragon is nearly assassinated in Farthen Dur.
And so on so on
also- what is a minion. I've noticed some people have them. Is it good or bad
Certainly Urubaen used to be an elf city.
Brom and Jeod's orignal egg-theft could be a seriously cool dungeon fight.
Yeah. We should try to do as many dungeon fights as possible. I don't think theres enough in M&B since only a few mods have them and even those mods have very few.
Yea. There's 1 in hordelands, 1 in Wedding Dance. Can't think of many others tbh.
Theres one in Heroes of light and darkness. Where can you find the one in Hordelands. When i said Gil'ead and Dras-Leona i was thinking of Uru'baen
Dragon's Death is mostly a massive dungeon.
Quote from: "Jubal"Dragon's Death is mostly a massive dungeon.
I've never been there
Great discussion guys!
So the list of quick battles we could make so far are:-
-Battle under Farthen Dur
-The Burning Plains
-Carvahall
-Ra'zac battle outside of Dras-Leona
-Lethrblaka and Ra'zac battle
-Ambush of Arya
-Galbatorixs siege on Uru Baen
-Glaedr and Oromis attack on Gil'ead
-Attempted assassination of Eragon whilst in Farthen Dur
-Fight between Roran and urgal
-Siege of Feinster
-Jeod and Brom stealing Saphiras egg
Don't forget the siege of Feinster!

Is that the one with the shade
The second shade, yes.
Quote from: "Millenium"The second shade, yes.
Fought so. That would be an interesting fight.
Wow. I'm offline for one day, and you guys recruit two new people, and spam the hell out of the board. Good job. :p

Do you have any ideas for quick battle fights. List so far at the bottom of page 1
Yeah. We ought to add the battle between Roran and Eragon against the Ra'zac inside their tower. (Can't remember what it was called, hel grind or something like that.)
Quote from: "Goromous"Yeah. We ought to add the battle between Roran and Eragon against the Ra'zac inside their tower. (Can't remember what it was called, hel grind or something like that.)
We already got that down. It's a brilliant idea though. Everyone wants it i think
I'd love to fight as Eragon. His agility and athletics are high, and his bow is deadly.
looks nice

Indeed it does. I can't find my Eragon or Eldest book at the moment so i'm gonna have to think of battles from memory.

I can help you guys if you need it.
I have probably read each book 5 times or so...
EDIT: What about when Eragon has to kill the two urgals with magic in the first book? Or when the 8 (?unsure?) Urgals attack him and saphira and he throws them with magic and Brom has to go find all of them and kill them. Or what about when Eragon is trapped between the falls and the door to Farthen Dur, you could have a little battle with a time limit until he figures out he is on the wrong side of the falls.
I don't think we should execute too many small-scale battles.
Quote from: "Millenium"I don't think we should execute too many small-scale battles.
Understood, however the last one wasn't small scale. I actually don't know why I said "little battle".
Basically it would be the classic "survive while I open the door" thing.

I've found the books. I was looking on the wrong bookshelf.
QuoteWhat about when Eragon has to kill the two urgals with magic in the first book?
When he breaks his arm and has to train with his left hand?
QuoteUrgals attack him and saphira and he throws them with magic and Brom has to go find all of them and kill them
Is that when he is recovering after using magic against the 2 urgals?
When Eragon uses magic for the first time he goes unconscious and brom gets his arm slashed by a urgal, Eragon breaking his arm is later in the story.
Eragon breaks his arm from tripping, he then finds a urgal track and goes back to brom/saphira, urgals catch up, he tosses 8 of them with magic. Brom then rides Saphira to hunt down the urgals one by one.
12 urgals, and too small I think
Quote from: "The Red Baron"12 urgals, and too small I think
Ah thank ye.
Yeah, probably too small, however I think a "Stay alive while the dwarves open the door" thing would work when Eragon enters Farthen Dur.
Would be interesting...
Indeed, it would...
If you made a special battle of Carvahall, will Carvahall have it's own scene? If you could take one of the larger villages from Native and mod it so it has defenses from the book that would be cool (trees blocking the main roads with trenches behind them)
I have no idea if that's possible.
Quote from: "Millenium"I have no idea if that's possible.
Do you mean the trenches and the tree barricade? I'm pretty sure that's possible
Oh, it is?
Then we'll work hard on doing it!
Asking Kolba permission to use the source code of his uber-awesome Custom Battles mod. All I'll have to do is change some names, IDs and maps.
How 'bout a quest that you can take from Galbatorix (If you're part of the Empire) or from Islanzadi (If you're part of the Varden/elves/Surda) where you have to buy or search for that special ore from meteors used to create rider swords, then once you get the materials, you go to a master smith or Rhunon (according to faction) and you wait for 30 hours, then you get your rider's sword.
Already exists.
Quote from: "Millenium"Oh, it is?

It is.
The wedding Dance has destructible doors in dungeons so you may free prisioners and such.
The Carvahall thing was a very, very good idea BTW.
Hopefully Darwin can share some info on siege equipment, so we can have the ballistae, catapults and trebuchets of the Burning plains.
uhm, ballistae??? :o
(http://www.frapanthers.com/teachers/white/galleries/roman_artillary/Ballista.jpg)
Yeah, Ballista (plural is Ballistae).
Bah, I was about to put the same message I PMed you with here, but lost it. Mind copy-pasting it here Darwin?
Darwin: do you mean this:
QuoteWell, I have all game menus ready, its the module_scripts I'm having problems with.
The mission selection is:
-The Battle of Farthen D
i know what ballistae are, but i donno how to implement :unsure:
I guess we'll do without 'em. But if you have the codes for the other siege equipment (mangonels, trebuchets, catapults), I could use 'em. I'll need the models as well.
i thought i'd implement them?
Yes, I meant that you'll implement.
I'm not sure if we should have siege equipment in normal battles though.
i think yes :D
Maybe, it just would be better, if you could take more than 4(??) artillery units on battle. 4 is no help whatsoever.
changing the amount of artillery you can use is really easy
How bout a quest where you have to lead the village of Carvahall through the Spine while being attacked by bandits?
this isnt really the right topic for this ;)
