Required mods:
Fly mod, Too many items (or single player commands) and of course, Mine Little Pony.
NOTE: This is just if you want to do the challenges, other wise, none are needed.
Features: Cutscenes (vids included in the folder, or on my youtube channel), actual characters that don't just interact via signs (the reason for cutscenes), character skins (I'll make them downloadable), ability to dig and build (though more limited).
Rules/guidelines/challenges for the map:
General:
The rules are made with multiplayer (specifically groups of three to four players) in mind.
1. You cannot have stacks of blocks in your inventory, unless you , unless you're building something big, if you are playing as an earth pony, you can have stacks of 3 blocks. This is to prevent digging too and building much instead of just occasionally knocking down a wall and making use of old ruins, or rather, feel free to ignore this when you feel it's appropriate.
2. No swimming up waterfalls.
3. Every seven enemies you kill with a gold sword (four with other gold tools), you get a gold bar.
4. You may only have one stack of arrows in your inventory at a time (unless transporting it to a new location without intending to use it).
5. You can not break iron doors to bedrock vaults (rooms made of bedrock), you must make a lever to open them.
6. You may not build obsidian portals.
Pegasus players: You may use fly mod, if you're not using it, don't worry, these rules don't apply to you: you may not use diamond armour and tools, only half your inventory space may be used for blocks for obvious reasons.
Unicorn players: You may "summon" (via Too many items or Single player commands) certain items for certain amounts of gold (just chuck the "spent" gold), you can't use diamond armour or tools, additionally, you get two free health potions every day (in-game time), but cannot have more than two given this way at any time, if you still have two "daily" health potions from, you cannot have more until you use those ones, you can have as many health potions obtained by any other method as you want though.
Story:
One day in Equestria, the company "Kraven Krastos archeology" is hired when some Equestrian explorers find what they believe to be the lost city of "Aliquam lacus" in Fatum jungle.
They set up their base of operations in near the jungle, however, three ponies ended up getting separate from the main group, after a week of travel trying to their way back, they wake up and find themselves within the city, these ponies are...
Black Belt: Idealistic, enthusiastic, but somewhat egotistical and reckless pegasus, also, he has mad scientist tendencies (he likes to build stuff, but all his inventions explode, even if it's just a bunch of plastic bags full of ice to cool himself in the summer). I had some influence from Firewall from the fanfic "Through the eyes of another pony" when coming up with the character, he also fits into the romance genre hero archetype of the swashbuckler (physically-oriented action hero, who may not let common sense get in the way of a good adventure, though in this case it's more because of arrogance then fun. Yeah, I based most of the characters on romance genre heroes, I didn't expect it turn out like that but I'm running with it).
Kraven: A clever, but also cowardly and greedy unicorn from Stalliongrad (which is more like the Russian Empire than communist Russia, because I like to mess with peoples expectations based on the source material's many horse puns). Conveniently matches the romance genre hero archetype of the charmer (irresistible rogue who teaches you the meaning of fun but doesn't hang around for the aftermath).
Scorch: An earth pony miner whose special talent is explosives (he's also worked as a pyrotechnics expert in some movies). Archetype wise he's a best friend (a dependable ally and a peacemaker who hates confrontation). He's also a father.
Setting:
The setting is a basically a cross between MLP and Minecraft, so humans are part of the setting, this is to explain the human zombies. More on this later...
Map design
This is for people who want to help me make the map.
Hideout:
You start in this area, there are some beds, food and a couple of health potions in the chest.
River (or the the ocean depending on where the spawn point is):
Nearby river that goes out into the ocean (or the just the ocean itself depending on where the spawn point is).
Places of interest: a large ship with one or more mob spawners.
City outskirts:
The area surrounding the city, there is little here but the remains of some farms and houses.
Places of interest: There is a mill, a lumber camp, mining camp, a small dock and a few military outposts.
Outer market district:
The first area you gain access to, the "outer market" district is at the city entrance, is this area is filled with shops with some having strangely still-fresh food.
Places of interest: not much really, this is where the farmers came to sell their goods. as it was here they would most likely be able to sell goods to tourists, so you'll probably find lots of food at the shops. There is an archery range however for amature hunters.
Residential district:
Where most of the middle class citizens lived, there aren't many shops, but there loads of houses.
Places of interest: Blacksmith, church, school.
Military district:
Where most of the military was trained. You'll find more weapons here.
Places of interest: Barracks, Dux Mortium's (a famous general known only by his nickname in the story) castle.
Inner market:
A rather small district with potions, and good armour/weapons to be found.
Inner district:
Where the high class lived, and where you can find the most valuables. This area is surrounded by a magical wall (of bedrock) (which also covers the top), it must be opened with diamond blocks (found in the other areas or made from diamonds).
Places of interest: Magic academy.
