The story was okay, slith, but we'll need something that involves all the races really... I don't know... I mean, that is what I want to see in this campaign.

We'll give you a ring darkhorde if we need anything...

BTW, my intro is around... 65% done? Probably have a near final version by this weekend!

I hope we can decide where the story goes from there.

I think i'll design some levels during my personal time, i was thinking maybe the first level is a basic map on the coast of felwood. You have to destroy a nearby Night elven base, then as you kill the base, the ice trolls who are helping you start to die and stuff. Then after you killed the base, theres a short cutscene of ice trolls falling during battle, then the level ends.

med. mapguy: there is one thing i think should be changed about the intro. NEs suffer just about no casualties. Maybe in the close-up shot of the archers with Huntresses charging downhill in the background you can have one of the other archers take an axe to the stomach and drop dead. Also i reccommend using a trigger to suspend all corpse decay in the intro. other than that its all very good.

Zeal: The plot i've got is the best i can think of, so maybe if its not good enough for y'all than you guys can work on it. Not to sound offensive or anything.

Falconoid, we have terrianing covered I think, but you could make some building models, and maybe we'll use 'em. Make some building based on the "dead log" type troll huts, you know something that looks like that sorta. Ask Gooky or Med Map if we need anything else.

PS: You helped make Castle Builder? Which version? I like that game.

I didn't help make one out, I'm working on a vs. now w/ someone, but he isn't giving me anything to do.

This any good?

Ah... I knew this would be brought up! Well... Okay. I kinda thought the battle was TOO one sided!

I'm not sure about the suspend corpse delay trigger... Never knew it worked... I'll have the intro done by this weekend. :god_help_us:

About the story... I like gooky's story already! I just thought we could expand the scope by adding the Orcs and the Satyrs into the conflict. Jaina's force could join in as well since they're allied with the Elves.

.

The setting sounds a little like the first level of the NE TFT campaign. You wanna specify the size of the map, the heroes involved, and the quests?

Well my story will involves all races as trolls are scaterred around the world and as you have to go search them for help. Human in both lordaeron with zul aman trolls and in south azeroth near the frontier with stanglethorn or whatever it is called. The undead in both northrend and lordaeron threatening the trolls. The night elves slaughtering the trolls first and helping them after to defeat the god. And finally the orcs with their allied trolls mainly helping them but a small group of orcs are attempting to take control of their allied islands. So we have all races, including dwarves helping humans, and a few high elves rest in Zul-Aman borders.

To zeal: they are normally good people those night elves, so they won't slaughter trolls like this for pleasure of killing!

The only thing thats the same is the setting. The map size would be like 96x96. 1 hero would be there until you finish the first quest, then the others come (I forget the names)The main quests are
Hold the position with the dark trolls for 10 minutes.
Then
Destroy the Night Elven outpost.
But mayb we can stick with gooky

Won't it be better if the hero has to go search for northrend trolls himself? Make the mission objectiv to old long enough so the village can be evacuated, and at the end, the bigboss anounce you you must find your long lost brethren... Just a suggestion.

Page 8 soon? I was thinking, since this thread has a ton of posts, maybe Med Map Guy or GookyWooky should try to get our project sponsored. If you guys are seriuos about this campaign, then I suggest getting us hosted, and then we'll have our own forum! Maybe, maybe, I could help mod. it?

And here it is! The anticipated Dark Troll Shadow Hunter. Download the BLP. If anybody else is taking these exept the team, then whatever, just give me credit in your maps.

PAGE 8!

FLUFF, its worth a shot to get hosted! But if they don't accept us here... Lets go to the Hubb. Its this new site that is also accepting good projects.

And I think Zeal has the first level covered... The Northrend thing would be in the 2nd level :P

Falconoid, look back at the thread and check the preliminary build order chart... Check if there are buildings there you think you can design.

It would just be sad if they hosted us,
a. We have little progress as far i know
b. they just kicked a bunch of projects that were very good
c.......................................

But i guess it would help us, but the pubb would be a better chance if we want to try. should we start terraining the first map? Or should i have already done that?
