Join my WW2 map making team

bump

I can terrian and trigger, both fairly well (IMHO). WHat exactly do you mean by "Advanced Triggerer"? PM, I may not double check this

Alright, i pmed you the details, let me know if you accept.

EDIT: AlexBS, if LegolasArcher will terrain, then you will be a skinner, because you said you could terrain, but not to well. Is that ok with you?

I can Skin for you, I can also show examples upon reqeust.

I have Website making software (Abode GoLive CS) but i'm not paticulaurly talented in it.

well i would just like to clear up some of your special units facts.

Ranger: the rangers would be like the seals of today. going in on covert missions to sabatoge and recon. they would not replace the basic GI
B-2: do you mean the B-17 flying fortress? the B-2 is that stealthy flying wing that the MODERN usa air force use.
British Tec: instead of bombing strips make it radar station witch should increasse the LOS of buildings.
Draft Soldier: Conscript. sent into battle ill equiped, sometimes with out even a rifle. make'um cost next to nothing, be built in seconds, but really are used as cannon fodder.
Artillary: make it the stalins organ. shot out a barrage of rockets that would cover a large AoE.
Russia Tec: Soviet Vengance? makes units have a slightly increased attack power, attack range, speed and health.
Panzer: make a slot for light tanks and heavy tanks. keep the panzer but add the tiger.
Ger Tec: Blitzkrieg: MUCH faster movment and rate of attack on tanks and infantry.

well this is all i can say today beacus i got to get some sleep. PM if you want some fact help or such like that

Stalins Organ? Dont u mean Katyusha Rocket Truck?



The 'panzer' is not a tank, it is german for the word Armor. The germans Panzer devisions were made of Panther Tanks, Armored Combat Cars (Panzerkampfwagen IV) Tigers and a host of others like the Wespe Howitzer etc.


LOL, if it wasnt for those cannon fodder russian forces wudnt have made it into Stalingrad and Berlin :ggani: Conscripts rock!

I can terrain & basic model edit (I cant skin to save my life)

I released a failed map afew weeks ago called Battlelines Bastogne, go check it out and see if u need my help (Wont be able to help until friday thou, cus i got alot of schoolwork and im helping on another map).

Battlelines- Bastogne (Download at the bottom of the page).

I narrowed my questions down two 3, are you serious, too many maps have died on here for lack of comitment.
Is it going to strive for low poly-count so that it can be played with real battles (i.e. not that crappy 4 guy battles that you end up with in Wc3).
And is it in some manner going to take after the Starcraft WW2 maps and contain some element of Territory control?

If it does all these then i might be interested in makeing some models for you.

Shaver: opps i see my mistacks. but i was typing this half asleep and i couldnt rember the name of the rocket trucks name so went for the first thing i could think of like that. well now i have had some sleep so i should do better:gsmile:

Thx guys, these suggestions have been very helpful. Also, i already have a slot for light tanks and heavy tanks. Tiger is a heavy tank for the Africa Corps. I wanted the Africa Corps and Nazi Germany to have different special units. So i split the tanks up. Also about the russain artillery, i just couldnt remember what the name of it was, but that what i had in mind, the rocket truck. And about the Soviet Vengeance and Blitzkrieg, they are both good ideas, but they might make those 2 races a little to overpowered. How about Blitzkrieg just makes them move faster, and Soviet Vengeance (which i would like to call Stalin's Order's, "Not one step back!" would be in the description) would do something like, increase armor or something. EIther that or it would allow conscripts to cast frenzy, which is the little self-bloodlust that the BM's quillbeasts cast.

Also about the rangers, they will be replacing special forces, and rangers are special forces are they not?

I am thinking about implementing heros into the game. They would be like super soldiers or something.

And the questions:
1. Yes i am serious about this, trying to post EVERYWHERE to get people to join my team. (havent checked post in like 3 days due to the fact that i was getting a little hopeless :D)

2.Im am not to sure what you mean, but i will strive for larger battles, yes. Each side should have a wide variety of different units and nothing should be massed.

3. Yes, it is going to be like controlling territories for the starcraft map, exactly the same idea.

well i like this idea for map becus most of the other world maps or ww2 maps suck. also you might want to add more units per side. 2 is too little for a veriaty in the sides(ie:T-34, King Tiger, Mortors, MGteams). for me i would try to make the units as distinct as possable. even if you just have diffrint names for the units. also for that AA gun for the Brits, its the 37mm bofors AA. here is some help for afrika corp and japan

Furher: change to sergeant. or make MG42 team.
Afrika Tec: Desert Fox. make tanks faster and improved armor.
Kamakazie Fighter: Zero fighter. have improved speed and Kamakazie abillity.
Jap Tec: Death and Glory. slightly improved attack damage for all units. infantry can have bonzie charge(temp. increase in speed and damage) and citizens can do a kamikazie.

anouther idea is a "spiecal" weapon reserch. each nation gets some new units that can change the war but are VERY expensive. for example. germany: V weapons(v1 is the missle, v2 is the balistic missle(cant shoot down) and v3 is the long range, artillary that has a faster cool down rate(but less damage for balance purposes))
and britan can use french freedom fighters(stealthy infantry that can plant bombs and such)

hope this helps and good luck on the map:gsmile:

The British SaS were first made in WW2 for that sole purpose, stealth entry, assassination and explosives. They were used in Africa against German encampments and for taking down German Officers.



Screw the V Missiles! Get the Axis Railgun in there! (Huge mofo of a cannon that could shoot the length of the english channel but it the germans never thought of trying to bomb london with it ://// )
Instead of Rangers why not use Paratroopers as they were the TRUE commando's of the American Army. They were dropped behind enemy lines and their numbers were small.
Oh i got an idea for the British tank; Crusader (Pre 1941) or Cromwell (Post 1941)
Depending on what era you set the war these were the tanks used by the british, (They used only afew Sherman Tanks)

Those are good ideas Jihad Joe. Your cranken those improvements out arent you :D thx

Im going to change the Afrika Corps special unit to MG team (a movable MG tower, it can "uproot" and move around, very little damage while moving)

All of your other ideas are great also, im changing those too. All except for the Jap tec. I think it might be to overpowered, plus, i dont have citizens :D. I will stick with just the bonzie charge for the Jungle Soldiers.

Also, i am going to have the paratroopers instead. There will also be a new unit for the Americans, the Aerial troop transport (any other name?) which is cheap, but can pick up like a goblin zepplin.

I am not going to implement the super expensive weapons, because i beleive that if i did add them, the game would be who got their big weapon first! Instead i am adding heros that are expensive, but not super expensive. Thats where the Furher is going :D

I like the ideas but i have to point out a few problems,

First off, the germans didn't have a rail-gun, they did however have a gun that could've hit london, but it never really worked, and that fits in with Jihad joe's ideas, (The V in V1,V2,V3 stands for vengence, acutualy it's like Vegneustituem or something german, but the gun was actually the V3)
I don't think that they should be super weapons but that they should cost a bunch and take a long time to build/research. The only advantage being that they are different, in the german case, it gives them an expensive long-range artillery, esentially. And make some of the others just research that helps out a like a very good spell in warcraft, like the Russian tech discused earlier. Beef it up, like make it give all russian units +5 armor or something, that way it dosen't end the game but gives people some big time stuff that they can get.

I also like the para-drop/carrier idea but i think it shouldn't be only the Americans who get it, the germans were actually the first group to use paratroopers on crete, so maybe as a more general unit.

P.S. I worked on a artillery model, it's based on the M1 howitzer but it had some serious problems and didn't really look right anyway, and on top of that i didn't know if you wanted a artillery unit. So post something on here or pm, or email me, if you want the artillery. I got the idea down so it won't take so long, otherwise i'll work on a tank or something else when i get home sunday

With the amount of stuff that you are adding i think you should look in to more then just one thread, or something, i know you can't get hosted now without a demo or something but i think you should try for something.

Also, a good list of changes/units would be nice to see how much you have to do, and what people could help with, i know there are some models floating around out there for WW2

Thats a good idea about the paratroopers. But im not sure what i should call the American paratroopers then... maybe just that? American Paratroopers?

The germans did have a 'rail-gun' (Leopold/Robert K5 Bahngewehr), it was a huge cannon that was pulled along on traintracks. The american para's were called Airbourne Infantry. Anyway i say we scrap the super weapon idea too. Maybe use special tanks for the high-tec stuff, like the British Churchill for example or the German King Tiger or Sturmpanzer.

For heros u cud have Company Sargeants or Liuetenants (sp?) for example.

Smaug also has a good idea about being hosted, if there are enuf dedicated people then i say go for it. As i said earlier im a good terrainer and i can do basic model editing (nothin fancy) so if ya need me just say.
