I know Wesnoth from version 1.1.2a. This is really perspective game not only as strategy, but as RPG too. Large world, filled by history, epic battles, heroes and factions, is perfect for creating RPG. It's not so hard because Wesnoth have simple language, what support wide variety of events, easy way to define dialogs, items, forum and Wiki, where always can be found answer for any question.

WesMMO

To play it (now only in theory):

1. Design new character.
   • Download WesMMO era.
   • Download beginner's map, designed for WesMMO.
   • Create game in lobby.
   • Create an "account" and character on it.
   • Win beginner's scenario.
2. Get fun.
   • Download some other playable map, designed for WesMMO.
   • Create game in lobby.
   • Map will automatically use your account. Now choose any three units from your account and play.

Spell system

Each class have some predefined spells. In most cases they are not simple "damage unit X for Y hp". That's why they are the greatest headache for me.

Each unit can use it's spell once per turn.

There are no limit of uses through whole scenario.

Character is a "team" of three units. Each unit have own stats, small inventory and spellbook.

Stats should be simple

Stamina - increases your hitpoints by 5 per point.

Strength - increases your melee damage.

Speed - increases your movement points.

Agility - increase your defense on each type of terrain by 1% per point and ranged damage.

Intellect or Spell Power (or both)- increase magical potence of unit

Inventory contains

Healing Potion - number of them.

Mana Potions - number of them.

Melee Weapon - affects melee combat: strength_multiplier and number_of_strikes and possibly defenses.

Ranged Weapon - affects ranged combat: damage_from_agility_multiplier and number_of_strikes.

Amulet - affects base stats, magical resistances and magical potency of unit

Body Armor - affects base stats, all resistances and defenses.

Boots - affects base stats and have movement_multipier.

Helm - affects melee resistances and magical potence of unit.

Each item has it own's id. This ID is the key to macro what will apply effect of item stats to unit structure. Data about it will be stored inside WesMMO era. That allows me to implement 'inventory slots'. Players will carry unused items in them.

Classes of units

How does this work

There should be macro to refresh visible stats of hero (hp, damage e.t.c.) It should be called when unit change it's base stats.

Database is a ton of functions what changes values of equipped items in "unit[<number of selected units to play with>].inv". Virtual data about units will be stored in structure "character[<number of sides>].unit[]..." Each item have it's own stats. And slot of item now is array, where index is number of stat inside it.

Content of "unit" structure.
inv body_item_id boots_item_id head_item_id amulet_item_id melee_item_id ranged_item_id healing_potions body_user_name boots_user_name head_user_name amulet_user_name melee_user_name ranged_user_name body 0 - stamina 1 - strength 2 - agility 3 - pierce 4 - blade 5 - blow 6 - arcane 7 - fire 8 - cold boots 0 - stamina 1 - strength 2 - agility 3 - speed 4 - speed_multiplier head 0 - intellect 1 - pierce 2 - blade 3 - blow amulet 0 - intellect 1 - stamina 2 - arcane 3 - fire 4 - cold melee 0 - strength_multiplier 1 - type 2 - speed 3 - defense ranged 0 - agility_multiplier 1 - type 2 - speed free_slot[6] item_id item_type item_user_name item_stat[9]	Class should not determine defenses and resistances class 0 - stamina 1 - strength 2 - agility 3 - speed 4 -intellect	buffed 0 - strength 1 - agility 2 - speed 3 - pierce 4 - blade 5 - blow 6 - arcane 7 - fire 8 - cold 9 - hitpoints_multiplier 10 - damage_multiplier 11 - speed_multiplier 12 - defense max_experience int max_hitpoints int max_moves defense castle cave deep_water flat forest frozen fungus hills reef sand shallow_water swamp_water resistance arcane blade cold fire impact pierce attack[2] damage number type range

struct "inv" will be stored as persistent variable. Other structures will be forgotten, because there will be functions to calculate their content.
