The Legend of Teroldor mod for Half-Life 2

The Legend of Teroldor will be a medieval swordplay and spell-casting mod for Half-Life 2. Take up the battle as one of four races: humans, orcs, elves and dwarfs. Each race will have it's own advantages and disadvantages to help bring its race to supremacy. Take the battle of Teroldor through the plains and cities of the humans, into the forests in which the elves rule, scale the mountains into the dwellings of the dwarves, or trudge through the wastelands of swamps of the orcs. For one race to reign supreme over the others all the land of Teroldor must become theirs. There will be a wide array of weapons to take up this fight with. These weapons will include swords, heavy weapons, bows and lots of spells ranging from stone rain to rock golems to poison clouds. If getting to the front lines in time becomes a concern during battle hop on one of many different ride able animals like dragons and horses (later betas). Use the wide array of weapons and spells and the environment in which you fight to complete the task at hand. The mapper will be able to decide how many teams there are and what races will be on each team, which will allow the mapper to make scenarios. An example of a battle that could be carried out in the land of Teroldor is that the orcs and dwarves have stolen the prized scepter of the humans, so the humans call on their alliance with the elves to help retrieve it. The possibilities are endless to the battle for supremacy for the Legend of Teroldor.

To cast a spell it will not just be point and click, to cast a spell the player will have to move the mouse in a certain pattern to correspond to the mouse movement recognition that is being implemented. You will do a simple pattern with your mouse and it will recognize that and cast the spell. To attack with melee weapons the same kind of mouse movement recognition will be used. Move the mouse in the direction you want to swing, and it will. This will be able to provide the gamer with more control in battle and make it more entertaining and possible to control the lands of Teroldor. As for the modeling part of the mod, each model will be done by the staff to give the mod its own feel and to bring to life the characters of Teroldor. The mappers will bring to life the world of Teroldor creating imaginative worlds with vast objectives and beautiful landscapes using the custom textures to provide a better feel for the life in the world of Teroldor. To help the gamer get into the feel of the mod and live the suspense of it there will be a custom sound track and voice actors to give the characters personality. Get ready to submerse yourself in the battle for The Legend of Teroldor.
