Troll Campaign: Battle for Felwood (temp. name)

*waits patiently for Gookywooky's answer*

i'm making them (screenies) for jungle, forest, and dark trolls, too.
Yes i love that model, one of the first models i ever DLed, so long ago.

Here's the jungle troll one and the Dark Troll version and some anim pics. I'll post forest troll pic and more anims in a while.
to find out why the trolls are uniting (for a while) check the first post in this thread. The ice trolls are coming down from northrend to help the dark trolls. One quest is going to be finding a powerful magic item that not only cools the climate so the Ice Trolls dont die, but makes up for the Warband's lack of experience.

I have an idea for my troll barbarian skin i did if you use it. It is......*drum roll* Dak'Zul Skullbrain

good name... sounds like a troll veteran of the second war when orcs and forest trolls were allies, cause 'dak'zul' is kinda orcish, and so the troll would seem to have had contact with the orcs... but since your skin is a dark troll, that story doesnt really fit.

Oops...I did something bad.....I didnt save the map!! Now the 50% of the triggers i finished last night are gone!! Now i must go to work..
!*On another note!
Woot 3 pages!
And another*
Woot 150 posts!

Well, i am going to go on a week vacation, and cannot post until next monday. a relative is getting married in Maryland, so ive got to go. Try to keep this campaign alive while im gone. discuss among yourselves. i dont want this campaign to die so quick.
zeal: darn! but congrats on making the thread reach 3 pages.
I'm gonna continue plotlning while im gone.

I wont let it die, i'll watch over everything. I've made up some of the triggers i lost, and i'm on the forest troll part. I'll be done tommorrow or late tonight.And i'm saving constantly.

GJ. This is REALLY the last post before i go.
Good luck have fun

Don't worry gooky, I'm already workin' on that elvish ambush we talked about... Hopefully by the time you are here, I would have finished the introduction!

Bummer... And I was so eager to see your cinematic!!

Who is this Dak'Zul supposed to be again? Just some Dark Troll commander? If yes, I guess I'll make him the main character in the intro then...

well maybe you are right....Perhaps Dak'Zule Would sound better??

They sound pretty much the same to me..

Med.Mapguy How far is your intro?

My triggers are almost back to what they were but still far from finished..

Dak'Zul (without an E) is going to be the main character. There will be two main Dark Troll characters who are BROTHERS in the start. Now I have to figure out what the names of these two blokes are...


I really, really can't wait to see your version of the introduction! My introduction isn't as epic as I wanted it to be so far... I really want to put in more custom music but I'm afraid of the space it would consume! So I'm limiting myself to short 1 minute tracks. I have 2 of them so far taken from the Gladiator sountrack.

Anyway, here is my erm... makeshift cutscene-completion meter. :\

Stats:
Terrain: 20%
Triggers: 23%

Short summary of story:

1. Trolls moving north to Ashenvale to get more territory.
2. Trees near borders of Ashenvale and Fellwood somehow manage to contact Malfurion and the Druids.
3. Malfurion sends a Druid (who transforms to a bird) to contact Tyrande and her Sentinels.
4. Tyrande readies her army in a matter of minutes.
5. Elves assemble and prepare to ambush Trolls in Fellwood pass.
6. Trolls are alerted and prepare to fight.
7. Tyrande sends a massive wave of Huntresses to mop up the Trolls.
8. Big battle. Whee! Its gonna be hard to do this but I'll try.
9. Two brother trolls escape. One NE general gives chase.
10. NE general kills one brother.
11. Trolls and NE general fight to death.
12. NE general falls.
13. All tribes are alerted by defeat of the Dark Troll army.

Its a tall order - but I'll manage. I hope I'm done by the time gooky's here.

BTW, I think our problems our solved with developing a Troll race:

We need only credit the authors!

Maybe we can borrow? Check out the now defuct War of Zul'aman too for free models.

I'll attach screenies of my version of Felwood a couple of hours after this post so stay tuned!

Wow, your waaay behind me in triggers and terrain. I'll slow down and work on another map till you reach around 50%. Through all my setbacks im surprised of how fast i've done it. Personally, i think yours is going to be better.

My map is basically a series of islands, but through clever camera work, it seems each island is continent on it self. My total percent is

90% Terrain
65% Triggers

I might have too much time on my hands, or i'm really fast. Or its the fact your cinematic has a one vs. one fight. Which obviusly uses alot of triggers. Redid the parts a tad.
1- Minute long NE debate (Bores regular peoples)
2- Small text saying WTH is happening in the world...
3- The NE attack a dark troll town...
4- Vol'gin is told of this at the edge of Felwood, and he watchs as he and two trolls (Coincedence?) Run and talk to him about the problems.....
5- Vol'gin sets sail to Northerend where he finds a ice troll who wont let him see Jag Skullfreeze, he casts a spell and the Troll lets him pass...
6- Vol'gin meets up with Jag, (Nice terrain here!!! BOOOYAA) And they talk for about 30 seconds...
7- Messanger meets with JoJo Bloodspear. tells him about the DT's....
8- Messanger meets up with another island of trolls, they warcry.(note headhuner riding a hydra, (you'll see when you seen the cinmatic)
9- Rohkan is informed of this and tells a group of trolls to get ready....
10- Forest trolls run to a troll dock, and are told of the news....
11- Ice trolls show off their army
12- Island trolls show off their army
13- Forest trolls show off their army
14- Vol'gin, Jag, JoJo, Rohkan, and a dark troll, are all on a ridge looking at their new warband.....THE ENDDDD

So far since i'm up to the forest troll part, its about 3 1/2 minutes or so... Not exact.

Once again, nice story, any motive? :god_help_us:
