The Rise of the Necromancer

Of course! Alredy working on it...

BTW - How big do ya want the scene's to be? :D

Mmmm, I don't know. Scene 1, well, medium... Scene 2 a bit larger, peasants need to be there, and Scene 3 well, not to big, but condider that it's a Royal Counsil room...

All in the same map i guess?

Yes, I beleive it can be done...

How's it going Amadeus H?

25 % done! It'ss be pretty detailed... :D

wow you guys are really working good on this i can't wait to play this map. If you want i can take a shot at terraining because i'm becoming fairly well in it. Maybe for next map i'll give it a shot.

OK, Amadeus H, just don't hury...
Shadowmed, I'll PM you with the detail of the second map...

I'm wondering, under what circumstances would the orcs ally with the humans? Keep in mind that before the burning legion, the orcs and humans were completely at odds with one another and them allying would be very out of character for both races. I'd say a more realistic scenario would be that while the humans are split (The queen's forces against the necromancers), the orcs, which are united, would sieze the opportunity and act as a collective force.

Also, what relation does Calia have to other characters? If Arthas is missing it's safe to assume that Calia is his sister, I suppose. Just clearing that up.

Good luck, I can do terrain, triggers, cinematics, story, design, and graphics (I could make a nice header, but it will take me a bit). Email me at [email protected] if you need any help.

Well when the orcs are massacered, and allmous all of them killed. They will offer an Alliance to the Queen IF she brings the necros out of their land... This part of the story is still not very good, so ANY SUGESTIONS???


Yes, Calia is the king's daughter, Arthas' sister. Duchess Yvone(Which could use a name change) was her best friend before she became a queen. All the realtinships will be unfolded during the story...



What dou you meen design?? We could sure use you in the team. WELCOME..


P.S. necrodude, you still with us??? When Amadeus H finishes the map(and AGAIN I say do NOT hurry Amadeus) I'll send the map either to you or Sytadel...

IMO the alliance would only occur if Calia is a logical, manipulative person - i.e. she has no disposition towards the orcs, but requests their help only for the reason that it would be directly benificial to her. She would be similar to Arthas, actually - such as how he burnt the boats and killed the mercenaries, because while immoral and out of character for a paladin, it was essentially for the greater good.



It sounds like a fine name to me and quite suiting for something set in Middle Earth.


Design is things like balancing and, to use a cliche, making sure 'the pieces fit'. It's what makes a map function, making sure things are balanced and fit the story and the gist of the campaign. It annoys me, for example, when I'm playing a middle earth RPG with custom skins, voices, etc, only the characters talk like:
- "Hey Jim, we need to get the sword of mega power to fight the lord of darkness, Sith"
- "Yeah we do but we should see your mum so we can get free potions of real fastness which own with swords"
- "I like swords"
- "SOWRDS SUCK. I like staffs!"

And you get the idea... :}

Actually, she does have some Vulcan blood... LOL. She a highly intelligent person. And, she needs help to destroy the necros, and quick.


This isn't set in Middle Earth. But ofcourse, the name can stay...




Yeah, I get the idea. So basically, when the map is finished, you get it to see if it's balanced.

P.S. This is map 2. I'm posting it without a reason. You can take map 3, when you finish the header, OK?

of course im still with you. what do the cinematics need to be.? I need this to know what to do, otherwise Ill surprise you with whatever I can think of. ok.

Tis is it necromandude...

P.S. Undead-Swarm, we don't need spell editing yet. But in the future we could use your help

Here's the garden. What do you think?
