Campaign idea

What about the Berserkers? They would ofcourse need some improvement to make them more interesting, but I would say they play quiet some role for the trolls: "the Berserkers are a sect of trolls who have sworn to destroy all elves", they are nicely described in the WC2 manual.

And another thing: Forest Trolls and Orcs don't have any special love for eachother. The trolls were forced to join with the orcs in order to win to the High Elves.

Mhh... I wiil make some skins to show you...

I have some units ideas:

Hero: Warbringer or Lancer
Unit Description: A troll that looks like a kodo beast rider, mounting a Kodo, or a Lizzard with his vemomous lance.
Role:Fighter/Auramant
Weapons: A venomous Lance(Jade Lance or something...He has one, but it is powerful and legendary, that's why he doesn't throw his lance)
Attack Type: Melee
Main Attribute: Agility
------------------------------------
Starting HP: 550
Starting Mana: 250
Attack: 20-36 appx.
Cooldown: 1.00 appx.

Spells:
-Trueshot Aura:Is the same as the Priestess of the Moon.

-Venomous Lance: It's like Fire Arrow or Cold Arrow, the difference is that this is a melee attack and it causes Venom... It is like Slow Poison. It causes a +5 damage bouns and slow 25 or 50 percent the affected unit. Cost: 8 mana per attack.

-Chant of War: Nearby friendly units gain +15% attack speed and 15% damage bonus. It casts like Roar. Cost: 100

-Dragon Lance(or something, Ultimate): the Warchief Lance become a Mega-Hyper Lance, that gives him a +50 damage bonus for 25 seconds. Every unit hitten by the lance gets the Faerie Fire effect on them for 25 seconds.


Normal Unit: Troll Artillerist
Unit Description: It is like the Mortar Team, or the Goblin Zapper.
He carries dynamite and bombs.
Role: Support/Artillery
Weapons: Bombs and some Dynamite.
Attack Type: N/A(Only Abilities)
--------------------------
HP: 350
Mana: N/A
Attack: N/A
Cooldown: N/A

Abilities:
-Install Land Mine: Same as Goblin Land Mine. 3 Charges. Cooldown: N/A.
-Thow bomb: Throws an explosive bomb(lol), causing 150 damage to ground units with splash damage. 5 charges. Cooldown: 7 seconds.
-Zap!: Same as zapper.

I will brought u more ideas later, but i have one question...
Will the goblins be included with the trolls??? Maybe some construction like the Tauren Totem(Goblin Burrow???) that creates goblins?

Maybe you guys can break away from wc3 and make something completly different. A lot of campaigns are popping up (or atleast trying to) about how this happened in wc land and so on and so on. None of us really enjoy (most i guess would be better) the story of how trolls decided that after they got rid of the legion that they would dominate the world. Just make sure this campaign is original, because we've seen enuff bad spinoffs.

I can do some maps for you if you want im good at that, tell me if you need me :D .

oh don't worry, they aren't going to dominate and take over, that would be hilarious though ://// I like all your hero and unit ideas everyone.

but we are going to have to stick with 4 units at a barracks (1-2 melee, 1-2 ranged, or a heavy melee)

then, 2-3 spellcasters, (one summoner, one defender, one healer)

then 2-3 heavy siege units (cave troll will be one, then maybe a catapult, and maybe a anti unit thingy)

then one ultimate (maybe troll lord or something gay and big bgrun: )

as for buildings, we shall have to decide, i think the orcs are a good base, but with all this new model stuff, why not make new ones? :D J/K, i am not to picky, just as long as they all match semi good. I was thinking for gaurd towers, it would be a fire pit, where you train small units who then stay with the pit until the enemy arrives, then they mad rush! no, too hard? maybe? i would really love that. :D

EDIT: WHAT DO TROLL BUILDINGS LOOK LIKE! VAMP? NI? MAGIC?

As far as I know I'm sure they've got those ones made of huge tipped over trees, maybe also some tents and a subterrain cave thingy.

Maybe you could add berserkers as some kinda mid ranged units like the NE Huntress.

PS: Have you checked your PM, I sent you one with the sum of my knowledge about trolls.

alright this might just be the base for the trolls:

-
tribal center- Troll Whelp, upgrade to troll station, troll stronghold
-
firepit- fire trolls (listed)
-
barracks- troll axeman(normal troll with axe), troll mangler(listed), troll dueler(listed), and troll crusader(listed), various upgrades
-
old ones rock- hero summon area
-
boom tree- various upgrades, lumber drop, troll suicider(listed)
-
stump- +10 food (farm)
-
thaumaturgist tree- troll seeker, and two not yet decided
-
siege tree- troll Artillerist (listed-powered down though) troll mecha (sorta like a goblin tree cutting thing but smaller, with a troll, and made for attacking, catapult
-
nest of brute- troll brute (listed), spike cudgel (listed)
-
names are not final, neither are units. (listed) means they have been described in the thread already. Any ideas? comments? complaints?

Damn, why no berserkers? Just asking.

need i say more? :bgrun:

Oh sorry, I just love berserkers. They are sooooo cool:ggani:

heh, thats coo. Maybe a hero unit, or a captain type guy, y-know... in-game but not buildible and stuff

Thnx, as long as they are in, I'll be happy.

i'd love to help i love trolls(i even have 4 battle net accounts with the name zuljin) but i am noobish and dumb and the only thing i can with a small chance be is a idea guy but you will probeply not need one but any way i would really like working on the campaign
