Troll Campaign: Battle for Felwood (temp. name)

Here is a bunch of Warcraft 2 sounds that might be useful.
KEY- first 1 or 2 or 3 letters of filename/folder name.

DeathWng folder- Deathwing's sounds. Possibly usable for a Firelord character (kinda like Chen in the Rexxar campaign..?)

dthtower- old temple of the damned.

tr- troll axethrower. they sure sounded different back then. usable as character.

Grom folder- Grom hellscream, usable for character.

Orc Folder- basic Orc sounds. "you buy retail version or i chop you into little bits" lolololol pnready is... peon ready.
ogrecamp- name says it. ogres used to work with the Horde.

Eye of Killrogg- old equivalent of sentry ward. small, fast flying unit with large line of sight summoned by ogre-mage

and the image-- wc2 image of troll fighting elf. color it in to be dark troll vs. NE?



Oh storyline...

1. Initial conflict between elves and trolls, trolls send for help, (trumpets) trolls from all over come to the rescue.
2. Climate causes Ice Trolls to become very sick. Night Elves found to be very much more experienced from thousands of years of combat.
3. Trolls learn of ancient magic item that can manipulate the chemical processes in troll bodies (tooltip for the witch doctor actually does say that it manipulates processes, but back to the story), and thus can lower the ice trolls' body temperature, as well as giving all the trolls strength. An expidition is sent to find the item (the campaigns' underground/dungeon part )
4. Alternating between battles against NEs and expidition dungeon-crawling.
5. Expidition finds and retreives item.
6. NEs decide that if the war goes on, they will suffer too many casualties. Druids of the Talon come and negotiate treaty with Trolls. Druids of the Claw aren't so happy, they were anticipating a good fight.
7. Trolls go home. Perhaps some missions involving getting home. Night Elves... look like this because that was a pretty damn short war... if it works out, perhaps a sequel involving those agressive Druids of the Claw... but that would be a long time from now if it happened.

already had that posted. Duh we need help with it.

Just need to know wich units are in the mod now and i will make you a good techtree i hope

units-
troll axethrower- basic warrior. Would be interesting if we had a trigger that made it so that axethrowers varied (only in appearance), so you would have ice and jungle anddark and forest trolls in your army but all with same stats, just different appearance and sounds....
troll witch doctor/shadow priest- no duh.
troll batrider(?)- i think i'm gonna try to use UV wrapping to make a batrider that used an axethrower skin, so i could have forest troll batriders and such without new skins.
ice troll mammoth cavalry-kodo equivalent, if the model ever gets finished :\
hydra rider- see mammoth cavalry, but raider equivalent.
troll axeman- melee troll warrior
jungle troll berserker- duh.

the skin is from TToR, it was unused and i still cant figure out why they chose that other skin over it.

Here is some first try for the techtree.

Here is some first try for the techtree.

For the cinematic, i doubt Tyrande would participate to this battle due to the fact she fought at mount doom with dark trolls. I think you should use another hero

Slith, I'm guessing you like LotR? Tyrande didn't fight at Doom, she fought at Hyjal, and they aren't oliphant riders, they're mammoth riders. Maybe you are confused because you just watched the movie?

mount Hyjal, not doom.
I know my wc3.

Hooray! an hour of feverish work bore good fruit! The rider from the bat troll model now uses the berserker skin, meaning it will also use creep troll skins! the idea is to, later, delete the rider from the normal bat troll and replace it with this!

total gibberish, huh?

so much for that plan.... now i have to figure out how to split a geoset's UV wrapping onto two skins...


woohoo! i got a new title and avatar!

~Back from my vacation...what'd i miss? I see Med's being working on his cinematic, while i have been tanning in south beach. Gooky's trying to model something. I'm going to find a good picture and put it in my sig, i'll make my own. I should be doing what now? I saw a good troll.this

Thats about right. Med made some pretty good sigs, if you want one there on page 5 i think.
And i gave up trying to model that particular thing.
I'm gonna switch to this soon:

I noticed that most of the people working on this got a troll or NE avatar, guess i must follow suit.

lol sorry but for sure lotr get into myself due mainly to recent visualisation of the film and to tiredness... For mount doom mainly cause for oliphant i still think it would be better to make a new creature than just use creeps... Funnier and more attractive... But still you didn't ever said a work about the techtree or about the fact you should change tyrande, tell me soon! :\

Anyone have Photoshop? Maybe someone can color this and make it our loading screen... Or instead we could try finding a nice pic from Blizzard's Art Gallery and use those instead. ^_^


Thanks. The NE blademaster is the only badass Elf I could find at wc3search! Could you give him a portrait? Just change the angle of the camera to cover his ugly face gooky?


Hold on. You want the second level to be about the all the Trolls of the world going to Felwood to battle the NEs, then along the way the Ice Trolls realized that they couldn't adapt to the climate thus requiring them to find this artifact? I guess that would be okay... But hmm.... Is there a way this would look good in-game? Sounds kinda awkward. Maybe all the trolls in the world should send "ambassadors" first and then they'd all have this VERY IMPORTANT meeting to decide what must be done. Then the Ice trolls ask for help from the others. Forest trolls could help them?

Then the Island Trolls' ambassador Vol'jin would tell the trolls they don't want any part in the conflict because the love the NEs? Plenty of possibilities...


Good for you. How the heck do you animate them?! Interesting edits of my sig...


Vacation? Its third week of October! Who has vacations at the 3rd week of October?! Okay... nevermind. Thats a really small sig!


Okay I've seen it and so far I like what I see. Remember that this new troll race is a mish-mash of all the trolls in the world so I suppose all their specialties are here. Ex. Forest Trolls make up the Axe-throwing units since they were pretty good at warcaft 2, and the Dark trolls can be good in Dark Magiks and shit. Island trolls, if they ever joined the war, would be quite adept in aquatic and air units. Desert trolls? Maybe the mounted units since they live in vast expanses of desert...

I have found several models at wc3search like the LIZARD MOUNTED TROLL and I think this fellow should be the troll cavalry. What is a croco-rider?? Pterodactyl rider? Maybe it would be nice if... someone made a RAPTOR RIDER like the Tauren-raptor rider currently posted at wc3search... Oliphant? Maybe... Ah! Maybe the mammoth model with a troll? And the troll would be the Ice trolls since they somehow managed to tame em' back at Northrend? Would be cool if SOMEONE could do all these mounted units... gooky?

TO ZEAL AGAIN:

Since you are *ahem* quite well rested, could you start planning a 128x128 Northrend map for the first level? Lets first decide on the quests for that level and the creeps and stuff. I'll handle the introduction and the troll's meeting scenes for the previous maps. Here is a concept I made (very poorly made) Hope you can make something better!

EDIT: These are some shots from the recent Troll Village contest... Its a Dark troll and Ice troll village! Funny.

Yes that is almost.... What do the lines represent? I guess mountains or.... unexplorable terrain? I dont think this could be map 1, maybe 2? or maybe 3? It would make sense, like

The trolls were fighting the NE, and suddenly the ice trolls were falling to floor in map 1 or 2. Then the witch doctors tell everyone the situation. Then go to the notherend!
