Did you get my PM at worldofwar.net? Well... its not really that hard to come up with a story on Warcraft you know. I'll just YM player on the subject of maps... Maybe we can make a campaign on pirates and stuff? Post-TFT too. Like bandit pirates free to roam the seas in a 10 map campaign or something. Or a young pirate fighting against a corrupt admiral...

We could do a story of rebels fighting evil empires (and I'm not talking about Starwars)!

If you are in need of a story, I am more than willing to help with that ;) since not much of my pressence is needed and no disaster will occur when I leave the forums ;)

Quite a bummer that Dorelian didn't like your story Bartuc, but still, he may not accept stories which are either plain or unoriginal. You can imagine why.

lol great idea med, I know I could download the map off you ftp when u edit, and e-mail u the map when I edit, only 1 problem, you rarely turn YM on >< you need to keep it on when ur on, not off when ur on lol, it's so hard to get ahold of you nowadays lol.

Anyway, I think re-doing the story shouldn't be "too" hard, just need to probably make some improvments to the story-line, add some nice weather, cinematic, special - effects. then you will (hopfully) get this hosted bartuc ^_^. O and also need to make it fun, big part of Dorelians "Check-list" lol l8r.

Med's idea seems to be good. I've never seen a high-seas-battle campaign before... Btw, how about making a Pirate's Campaign? "Treasure Island" will do I think? here's the link of the story, characters, and.... etc. The story is really cool, I watched the cartoons backthen when I was around 10 years old.

I turn on my messenger almost everyday.
mine is [email protected]

never saw the show
I don't want to make a new campaign,I wanted to have somthing happen with the trolls but I guess it makes no frigging differance
pirates it is...................btw we should get king klear in on this,make it a bit like zombie island in controls he a friggen triggering genious
lets think of some other map ideas
but somthing I hate I will not make
-tourney,duel,fighting maps
-altered melee
-poor quality rpg's

how about a real real life map
ever seen arius' tale?
like that,I know exactly how to put that together
king klear's controls would be used of course

Lol I have only been hearing great things about your campaign and I want in. I suck with map maker but got ideas pouring outta my...well you get the idea. I just want to help in some way, I got a cool idea for a troll unit. You could have lizards or whatever animal you were going to use for the trolls to ride, then have a headhunter/ beserker or other ranged unit be able to mount and dismount at leisure... separate them for 2 warriors or team them up for a great ranged unit. But that is not all, Troll warriors can also mount the animal, they have long spears but do not throw them, instead they are melee. And on top of that, spellcasters can mount them for a speed/hitpoints boost, keeping in mind you can dismount but who would want to when you could set down a healing ward from atop a beast? You could also give the main character a mount to use should they choose to. You can either use the specialized beast separately, or team them up and make one hell of a hero. I got more ideas, just lemme know if a: you still working on troll campaign idea(which i think you should) and B: You think my ideas are any good...

I also got a great idea for a storyline since people don't seem to like yours, however mine still is focused on the trolls. If you followed the warcraft history (like 6 page document on WOW community site) when the elves first came to quel'thalas they formed an alliance with the developing humans, the trolls however, gathered a massive army and attacked the kingdom of silvermoon. Though the trolls did some damage, they were almost completely wiped out..it specifically stated that the trolls would never organise an army again. Now a new warllord...I like the name Zumani Spear-arm(use what you want) is having problems.

With only a small force of like 1-2 types of units Zumani has been struggling with undead/forsaken scout forces. The scout forces of Kel'Thuzad seek to find any remaining life in Lordaeron and kill it, then they could raise their dead bodies and use undead trolls to attack sylvannas. Sylvannas, however is trying to take over the minds of all the troll warlords in azeroth in order use them to fight Kel'Thuzad. Zumani Spear-arm must take what he has left of his small tribe and seek out the other warlords.

The first mission could be him with like 4 units going to the different tribes, kinda RPG format and telling them of the growing undead/forsaken forces and the fact that trolls will soon surely be wiped out. Anyways each warlord has a task for zumani to do (ie free our captured brethren, kill the beast terrorizing us, or gather me these three items in order for the witchdoctors to bless a secret weapon. If it proves too difficult with such a small group of units...each joined warlord can add about 2 units to Zumani's force.

The key thing is...the warlords all specialize in a certain kind of unit...like witch doctors, batriders, or headhunters etc. So when you combine them you get a small chunk of what the troll army will eventually become. I think this is cool because Brotherhood of the axe stands for the uniting of all warlords still alive in Lordaeron. Also, they have to capture animal eggs of whatever animal you plan on having as their mount (ie lizard eggs) from the mother in a cave. You need a rather large number of eggs so we can make it into a mini game...like tip toe around the mother and get one egg, each time you get one you choose to either try for another...or hide behind rocks. The mother will give signs of what she is doing in her sleep. if the mother catches you...you have to fight her (possible to beat her but not likely) or else you can sneak around, steal her eggs and get out alive. That would add fun factor to your campaign.

So anyways after that you have to build a base near the waterfront by a goblin shipyard...actually it turns out to be by a whole goblin colony, that worship the tinker god Metallios. Anyways they are afraid the trolls will kill them and normally would put up a fight but recently their race has been under attack. A family of dragons was disturbed by the goblins' construction and eventually started coming down from the mountains and snatching a few goblins each time to feed to their children. The dragons were very few but the goblins couldn't fight them. They had the technology but the dragons were monitoring their base with scouts so they couldn't even fly a zeppelin full of ranged units up there. The trolls however had great throwing axes and spears perfect for killing dragons that came to the goblin town...and one thing the goblins lacked...air units to fly up the hill and actually fight. (I was thinking maybe the hero could mount a flying unit and dismount at leisure so he can get exp from dragons as well)

The batriders attack the dragon camp while the axe trolls and headhunters protect the goblins...you have to kill the dragons while ensuring that no more than 10 goblins(# can be altered) are killled by the dragons...so you gotta work hard at taking on the dragons and protecting the goblin village. Once you do this you and the goblins get word from a batrider scout of a huge undead assault heading towards the trolls. Apparently Kel'Thuzad is losing and NEEDS more bodies. So the trolls build their base and the goblins help fortify their structures, build excellent defense towers, and start building a massive fleet with which to break through the undead fleet surrounding the troll base. The goblins need 20 mins so you have to defend for that long. You get goblin land mines, and other stuff from the goblins to help you gather units. after you complete the mission a cutscene shows you and the goblins loading into the ships, and blasting through the undead fleet for parts unknown.

After that I am not sure where to send them lol. I had an idea of maybe enlisting the ice trolls and the dark forest trolls by beating their warlords...and enlisting the help of other units from kalimdor while going to speak with the leader of the darkspear tribe from orc missions. Then I am stuck...I gotta think up more ideas and review this long post to see if there is anything more I want to add to it. Stick with this campiagn though bartuc...you will get somebody's interest, you just need a solid storyline, custom units, and some fun.

You said in your previous post that you could have made a poll soon, so I was thinking, maybe you want this thread a poll. I'm willing to change it into one.

What are the choices? ^^
