Tauren Race

me n gerundok have been trying to aqure 3DS max 4 for a long time now, but unfortunately with no success...

Yes... It's pretty hard to obtain. Totally worth it, though. Took me a few weeks to get it, what with all the bad copies I downloaded.

I have contacted another web designer, Legolas-Archer, as he might be able to do even better than Tiki. (He might be able to let us safely upload files to the site, and only have certain people able to download them, etc)

Sounds great, the horizons idea gets my vote. Im home sick for the day, so Im going to be working on maps

Il contribute whatever I have in points if you need it, I have almost none tho....

I went to the website for 3ds max, it costs A TON of mone to get 3ds max 6, kinda shredded my hopes right then and there :(

y would u like to have just "certain people" to dl it?

To keep most of this project from leaking out into the public until it is completed.

Got the Image extractor up and running, I made an icon for the Tauren Orb, dunno if you'll like it, I think it looks cool tho :)

This is the orb, I could change it if you want me to

call it an earth orb instead, more cool i think

bonuses: +6 dmg
sige damge

Sounds cool, probly have it do a small splash radius too, since it is siege. Working on editing the tilesets now, but I dont know how to get them to show up in the world editor

Tileset dark grass, or do you want it to have green in it more TiJiL?

1. Very cool orb. Should be Orb of the Earth Mother, though, and grant something other than siege damage. Siege damage would not be entirely useful on a hero.

2. Thaumaturge spell idea: The Earth Mother's Bastion- Allows a target unit to gain 5,7,10 HP per second until death. (Reverse Doom)

3. I obtained 3dsmax 4 on the first 'try'. I still have it on my computer, too (Hint). There HAS to be a way for people to get it... (Another hint)

Guess What, TiJiL! I am in the computer lab right behind your current class, which is math! I can see the back of your head through the glass window! You don't seem to be having much fun at the moment....

(MUAH HA HA HA HA HA)

Nevermind this one :)

Another Icon: Volcano

looks good
:D

Ok, for the orb, how about the basic +6 dmg, but then have it add some armor, or it slows the unit it is attacking by 50%. Or, have it create a mud golem (kind of like the orb of darkness) when the unit dies after being attacked by it (this effect is limited so that if the unit dies over 3 seconds after it was last hit by teh orb, it wont spawn a mud golem or whatever)

Or, have it make teh hero do extra dmg to fortified. That would help out greatly against siege tanks and just a normal attack.

Icons are awesome. Glad to see we have an icon maker in our midst. Not sure what orb should do, though I agree, siege damage isn't that useful for a hero, unless it is toggleable. (Bhav? Can this be done?)

That tileset looks really good, too. That seems about the right color. Looks fairly fertile, but not too green. Quite nice.

Oh, and yes, Runemane... 3dsmax is very expensive. *cough* *piracy* *cough*... Sorry about that. Had something stuck in my throat.

Since we now have 3 votes for Ominous Horizons, (And Bhav expressed no aversion to it when I spoke of it at school with him), that's the name we'll use for now. I will apply for hosting tonight.

A thought for the orb: Since it looks like a ball o' dust, and dust fits the tauren well, what about essentially having a 30% chance of casting drunken haze (with a different buff) on units? Dust would slow you down and lower your accuracy. Anyway, just a thought.


And finally, you are wrong, Bhav. I much enjoy math. We're doing some hard stuff (graph x+((sin(x+pi))*(cos(x*pi))) +5... Not easy...) But I quite enjoy that class. That you were in the lab, though, I did not know.
