Hey, I'm developing an Ultima (RPG style) map for Heroes 4. I have tentatively set it during the time shortly after Ultima 6 (maybe more distant) and it might follow the Companions in some sort of adventure (or maybe I'll come up a new main character and have the companions maybe cameos).

Unfortunately, I have run into a rather significant problem... I have no story ideas. So I thought I might ask the community for a few suggestions.

You could have the player be Sir Cabirus embarking on his quest to create the Abyssal Colony.
You could have the player visit every town and village and complete quests in order to get volunteers (units) and the items of virtue (artifacts) and the necessary resources to build your colony.

I have two more ideas you could try.

While they are not in the particular era you selected, chronicling the rise and fall of Zog would be pretty interesting. Or the battles between British and Mondain before Ultima I would also be fun to see.
If you did either of these two ideas you wouldn't necessarily need to redesign your map as despite what we've seen in the games, I've always imagined the Lands of Lord British to remain generally the same shape as seen in the later games.

I see your point on the other two, but I do want to have a virtue focus included for the map...still good ideas, though.

The idea about Sir Cabirus sounds interesting, but I would to hear a few more suggestions before deciding.

Just an update, I decided to drop this project. I kept running into nasty limitations...namely a lack of multiple choice questions (it is all yes/no questions).

Project Britannia does seem interesting and somewhat easy to use (after you get past the rather nasty learning curve for terrain building).
