Just a fast reply... The trees will remain in game, but will be used to represent a capital of wood elves. Well, the name's definitely going to stay, other just sound plain wierd and in the campaign it's stated several times that Wood Elves are part of Quel'Thalasian High Elves (it would be just too much work to change everything now) Goblins and Trolls: I want to make Troll army unique compared to others. Blizzard limited me in the fact that they used Trolls as "weak" (compared to, say Ogres), but cunning (and even magic users, wich doesn't fit other trolls at all!). Since all troll units are ranged in game, I needed to figure out a way to give them melee units without altering their... "personality" much (at least in early missions, later mission are different). I had several options: giving trolls a lot of special abilities (I'll explain this one later), adding troll melee unit (that's become part of the solution), adding another troll "heavy type unit" (that's also become part of the solution in the form of Cave Troll behemots - think of them as huge Ogre/Abomination crossbreed with the strength of Mountain Giant and cunning of the Tauren :)) or adding another race to the troll force. I mentioned special abilities earlier: One of them might interest you: certain shadow spells are so powerful that I had to balance them out somehow. Therefore I added an interesting ability that influences the gameplay of the trolls greatly: The Slaves can be sacrificed to summon various shadow effects (or beasts). Since you can gain more slaves by capturing certain enemy units... |

Sounds perfectly cool, i did understand that Wood Elves are a subrace of High Elves... Quote:
Sounds sweet! And very logical mind you... Just my opinion tho, the Cave troll idea i loved very LOTR Adding another race: Sure Goblins work im just saying theyre not tied polliticaly and more importantly permanently... theyre like mercenarys. And just a single unit suggestion, just Because there arnt any in the game yet... a Troll with a Staff... Binuishuika(sp) style could be different no? Love the "shadow effects" stuff quite innovative Okay im gonna ask a couple questions i'd kill to have answered... Any unit additions for the Orcs, Alliance or Night Elves? Orcs, could get some Ogre units in accordance to the bonus campaign of TFT.... Alliance, Gnomes and more elf stuff? NE, no clue but i do have a request its not a totaly new model or anything since most of its there but why not remake the old Alpha WC3 priestess of the moon? the one who rides an owl... Lost Images of WarCraft The owl and body are already in game no? and the motions can be combined i think... Eh i know its not really necessary to the campaign but with most other campaigns not being left open ended nice models like that are rare.... |

Well, about the new units... I kinda doubt it, escpecialy for the orcs becuase (as far as I know) they're not in the campaign :p Hey tufy, did you happen to get your "shadow effects" idea from my Captive/Summon Acolyte/Sacrifice Captive thingy? Just wondering... Hehehe you need to update your website :p |
| 12-19-2003, 03:18 PM | #514 |
Yes... the Orcs... not in it : shifty eyes : |

Well, the Humans are getting a couple of units (like the Templar - Stromgarde version of Paladin, and a couple of specific units) so are Dwarves (nothing special really, an axeman I borrowed from net and a demolition squad, but you will only meet them in a couple of missions), Undead/Demons are getting something (Dark Rider, Vampire,... well, actually a vampire is not really undead, but I'll explain that later). The 1.13 addition of Ogres in the Horde has made me think. If they like power, they might join the Troll Army, but more on this will be known later. Perhaps I'll make them open - you can gain their alliance, but you can also make them your enemies, I don't know. Well, the Elves are getting major add-ons, as are Forest Trolls (check early model shot of Sanctuary bellow). The Gnomes are not in the game (at least not yet), Goblins will get couple of fun adds, just to spice things up. And as for the Moon Priestess - I'm not good at mdl editing. If I'd modify the models, I'd have to make all animations myself. Perhaps, if Xaran Alamas would be willing to make a model... Quote:
Actually, the Orcs are in the campaign, both evil (Blackrock Clan) and good (you can actually get their alliance, but more on that later). No, first the "sacrifice slave" was ment to represent shadow magic as such, but now it's limited to most powerful spells only. I based it on sacrificing of Acolyte (where you get the shade, except that here, instead of a shade you get a spell). And as for the website - I'm prolly changing the adress, that's why the page stands for now. Plus, I intend to post a major update once it gets updated. Anyway, here's the shot of the new Sanctuary I started my work on. It will be the basic Town Hall of wood elves (at Tier 2 it will get a Tower and at Tier 3 a wall). |

I thought it was your house:ggani: |

No, actually it's a house I wanna have :) It's based on Rivendell's central building, but I'm gonna add a couple of things for tier 2 and 3. EDIT: Btw., if someone is interested, the above house's poly count is 184, including walls that are actually hidden inside the model and could get removed. I guess I could lower poly count on this (if it would stay that way) to about 100... :) |
