oh so just the default for WC3. Well if you had it in 3rd person, i could make buildings and their interiors, but if you dont want to change it you dont have to. Just let me show you an example of what i mean:

Well, if you can trigger it so the angle changes to that to explore the inside of the halls, that would definatley be okay with me, but i waant the main outside stuff to be default view, becaues there will be multiple heros to control eventually.

Well then i guess i can just make it like an outdoor temple or something. Any key locations or things you want in it?

Basically just a big outdoor temple like area with a 7 cairns, 3 on each side in a line and then one in the center that all of the rocks have been thrown off, this is where the ghost will talk to yyuthrur. Throw in any other hanging banners or anything you want, also statues and busts would be cool, but i don't know how easy that would be.

Cairns? you mean the tauren cheif guy? I dont put in units, except like villagers. I leave units for the other people to do, like the trigger guys and story line people. I just make terrain =/

No, a cairn is like a really really basic tomb, like a pile of rocks over a dead body kind of dealio?

The circles are rocks, the body is under the circles, this is a cairn for simplicity's sake

Once again, this is in story for (this is how i write to best get concepts out), but think of it as an outline for the second cinematic of the game


Tanim paced eagerly up and down the bar of the tavern, waiting for his contact to arrive. The stench of the place disgusted him, so many minds and bodies wasted here, so many days lost to the vices of alcohol and sex, even know he could hear a drunken patron arranging a tryst with one of the tavern wenches, it disgusted him, he wished he could bring a swift end to all of these pathetic wretches

He chanted a few words softly, appearing to all around him to simply be mumbling and then pressed his forefinger to his temple, activating a sixth sense of magical emanations through the simple dweomers. The air around him hummed with magic, the weave pulsing all around him, but other parts of the room also had focal points in the weave, although these were far dimmer than the one surrounding the powerful sorcerer, but judging by the level of poverty, Tanim knew these emanations came from some of the individuals in the room, and sadly, he also sensed that none of the individuals had the slightest idea of their natural gifts.

It saddened him to realize that at one time he had been not so unlike these inferior beings, although that time had been hundreds of years before, but still, Tanim felt a shred of pity for these poor souls who would never realize their full potential. True, his gift for manipulating the weave was far greater than theirs, in fact, the weave seemed to be drawn to him as if he was destined as a conduit of great power, but many of these individuals could have become something far greater than a lowly bum, even a court magician could make a decent living performing for the overly powdered and perfumed nobles of Kyldara.

So saddened was Tanim by this waste of magical ability that he was almost about to chant the incantation to disable his magical sense, to hide from the reality of the world around him, when suddenly he sensed a near explosion in the weave around him, and was nearly blinded by the lines of pure magical energy that assaulted his vision. Immediately he fell into the weave, at the same time scanning through his memory of all of the spells in his repertoire. He knew that whatever was approaching was far too powerful for him to fight, especially when he wasn't prepared for a spell battle, so rather than calling up a lightning bolt or a fireball he simply withdrew back into the fabric of the weave and with a poof vanished back to the safety of his own tower, although behind him he left an invisible wizard eye to see what had entered the tavern.

Of course, while Tanim's eye waited he would hardly be idle, he knew that if whatever had been entering the tavern was coming for him it could follow his trail through the weave back to his tower, and there he would be ready…

To be continued.. obviously

Hello all, i was contacted by Mukrar to do triggers and cinematics. So, hopefully, we'll all be working together in this. All my contact methods are on my profile, and if you need me, contact me.
