Hello,
I would perhaps have an idea that has just existed in my head
for sometime now, which could fit in here, but I'm concerned
that in the end it would turn out to be a mini-game rather than
a puzzle.
So is it a must to make it a puzzle? Because if so, I'll not
take the risk.

Number of enemies: 4 Crystal Golems.
Description: Every 10 seconds a crystal will appear in a random
spot for 5s. The player is required to lure one of the golem
near the crystal to freeze it for 5s. Only a frozen golem can be
killed w/o respawning. Puzzle is completed when all golems are
killed.

Disclaimer: Since there are so many factors affecting this game,
I might've forgotten to mention something, so if you think
there's something that can be cheated, notify me.
[center]Race for the Crystal Dust of Strengthening[/center]
Description:
The main goal of this puzzle / mini-game is to collect 12
pouches of crystal dust, which are guarded by the crystal golems
themselves.
There are 8 spawn points on the edges across the arena. When the
game begins, one pouch has already spawned on one of them. As
the dragon slayers make their way and collect it, there's a 5 to
20 seconds delay before a new pouch appears randomly on one of
the spawn points again. You must pick up a pouch or the delay
doesn't continue to count.
How everything works:
- As mentioned before, there are twelve pouches in total -
However, when someone collects them, they don't do anything by
sitting in your backpack. Instead, consuming the crystal dust
strengthens the consumer, granting [color=purple]100 bonus
health & mana, 10 damage and 1 armor permanently with each
pouchful.
- Target is to gather all of the pouches, but if anyone eats a
pouch of dust before all of them are gathered, one pouch
automatically vanishes off from the total count, so for example,
when you've collected one pouch, eating it reduces the total
number of spawned pouches to 11. This applies even if you've
collected 11 and the last pouch has appeared; eating any of the
11 causes the last untouched pouch to disappear.
- To make things even worse, the guardian golems have a 25%
chance to steal one pouch from a dragon slayer when attacking.
Without a pouch to carry, their movement speed is the maximum
available, in order not to be outrun by the dragon slayers. Once
they gain a pouch, their movement speed is zero'd.
- Upon stealing a pouch back from a dragon slayer, that guardian
golem is willing to eat the dust itself in order not to let the
dragon slayers gain their power. The delay before consuming the
pouch is determined by golem's endurance, and if the dragon
slayers succeed to kill it before the wait is over, they re-gain
the pouch.
- Golems cannot be attacked unless they have a pouch; dragon
slayers cannot be attacked unless they carry at least one pouch.
- At start, there's one golem per spawn point, which are brought
to life by stealing a pouch from a spawn point. If a golem is
killed, another golem is spawned from the point it was guarding
and sent to attack the closest dragon slayer with a pouch.
- Only four pouches per dragon slayer can be carried at a time,
cannot be dropped upon taking.
- Once all the available pouches have been taken by the dragon
slayers, the game ends and remaining golems are killed. The
reward is based on luck (steal chance) and if you chose to or
not to eat any of the dust.
- It is optional, if there's a time limit or not. Personally I
think there should be, but I'm not able to tell a balanced time
limit...[/color]

As ch8 is filled with ice , i will posts ideas that have to do
something with galeoth.
So my ideea is:
-galeoth is teleported to a collum in the middle of the area ,
where he could attack the monsters near him.
-Near the collum is a cristal that Galeoth has to attack.
-The cristal has a huge amount of mp.
-Galeoth can take down his mp , but every time galeoth casts a
spell on him , the cristal will randomly summon a huge golem or
2 little ones.
-The golems will attack Phodom and Fradz
-The little golems MUST be finished with one of phodom's spells
or spell books to decrease the cristal's main mana.If they are
finished by one of fradz's spells or by a regular attack , the
cristal's mana increases.
-The big golems MUST be finished with one of fradz's spells or
spell books to decrease the cristal's main mana.If they are
finished by one of phodon's spells or by a regular attack , the
cristal's mana increases.
-When the cristal reaches 0 mana , it turns into a collossal(i
think i misspelled that) ice golem , and Galeoth teleports from
the collum to help the heroes.
-The ice golem MUST be finished with one of galeoth's spells or
spell books , if not , he turns back into a cristal(With a
lesser amount of mana) and Galeoth is teleported back to the
collum.
The cristal's main health is 99999999999999999 so the players
can't kill him.But his mana has to be something regular that can
be destroyed with Magic Tornament or Magic hammer.And if the
mana is something like 50 000 , then the cristal loses 10 000
mana per big golem and 5 000 mana per little golem.It gains 5
000 mana per big golem(if it's killed by the wrong hand) and 2
500 mana per little golem.Also , the cristal's mana regen has to
be big , like 50mp/sec.
You should also give some hard-to-understand intructions.For
example the name of the big golem is Feed me with fire , and the
name of the little golem is feed me with lightning.
And the collossal golem's name should be - I detest ice.
This will make the players use their whole mind to figure out
what to do.IF they want to be feeded with lightning that means
they don't like fire.Or something like that.
It's not that hard to be made , after all :D.

Hello,
Black, although I like your idea, I would like to share
something with you:
1) As you suspected, you did spell wrong: "collossal" ->
"colossal".
2) Unless I recall wrong, maximum health of any unit in warcraft
3 is 5 000 000 (except if one can increase it even further with
triggers or similar, and of course heroes gain health from
strength), and "99999999999999999" would be a very uninspiring
value anyways.
3) As for your "complicated instructions" (changed from
"hard-to-understand instructions"), well, let's just say that
back when TCO was on the early alpha phase, I was horrible when
it came to triggering maps, so in some cases I did this stupid
thing and named units with something as terrible as those "feed
me with fire".
Don't get me wrong, I like it when puzzles / mini-games are
hard, but in my opinion those "complicated instructions" should
be presented in a completely different way. :/ (And that is, of
course, assuming that people can realise the point / idea.)

[move]Second entry >:D.[/move]

:D.[/move]
Sooo , there are x spawning places at the corners and in the
middle of the area , there is a viking statue(the model
HTML http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/vikingstatue-49051/?prev=search%3Dstatue%26d%3Dlist%26r%3D20
)
At the begaining , the statue is completly blue.
Event1-From the spawning places , some little ice golems are
charging till the middle , in order to attack the satue(The
satatue has a limited ammount of HP and no hp regen).With every
little ice golem down , the statue's blueness begain 2 fade ,
till it reaches it's normal colour.
Event2-When the statue reaches it's normal colour , bigger ice
golems start to charge(They are stronger) till the middle.With
every bigger Ice golem down , the statue is starting to turn
yellow.
Event3-When the statue reaches yellow , gigantic ice golems
start to charge(they are almost invincible , so that the player
can't kill one in about 3 minutes).After 3 minutes a cutscene
shows up:
Phodom:Damn these golems , let's just leave this cursed statue ,
and get the hell out of here!
Galeoth:We can't just leave it , inside there is a spirit , I
can feel it!
Fradz:Oh realy?What if I talk to this "spirit"?
Galeoth:Fradz...yo-
Fradz:Hey you dumb asshole!Why are the golems chasing you?Oh
wait , you can't run , cuz you're a fucking statue!
[move]The statue explodes turning into a warrior[/move](here ,

[glow=green,2,300]NoNameCuzI'mDrunk:Hwo dares insult
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk?
Fradz:Phodom!
Phodom:That's his name honorable warrior!
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk:I would kill you , but I owe ye' , let's
finish these golems![/glow]
[glow=yellow,2,300]Event4-NoNameCuzI'mDrunk helps the heroes ,
but the golems are still coming in from tnowhere.Another
cutscene:
Phodom stops the ground and says:Damn!
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk:You don't know how to use that hammer mate'!
Phodom:What?
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk empowers Phodom's strenght , then Phodoms
slams the ground , all the golems @ him die.
Phodom:Incredible!
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk:I know mate , I know.[/glow]
[glow=red,2,300]
Ofc , NoNameCuzI'mDrunk expalins hwo he is(a dragon slayer , or
a warrior , half dragon etc) , then tells Phodom the bless he
used is permanent.So the reward should be +X strenght to Phodom.
[/glow]
NoNameCuzI'mDrunk is a random name , change it PLZ:))
