War for Kalimdor: The Rise of the Pandarens

This is a campaign idea I have been thinking of for some time. It is a full campaign spanning multiple chapters, each containing 4 or more maps, about the rediscovery, the struggle, the rise, and possibly even the fall of the Pandaren Empire.

This site has the **BASIC** background info for the pandarens.

Here is a little background on what the campaign will be about (still working on details, but here is the beginning)

War for Kalimdor: Rise of the Pandarens

After the death of Archimonde, and the change in the balance of magic in Kalimdor, due to the destruction of the World Tree, Kalimdor fell into a state of war again. The continents of the east, the lands of the men, the elves, the dwarves, all fought to gain peace. But in Kalimdor, evil began to arise. The orcs who remained after the great sail back east soon forgot the preachings of mighty Thrall, and started war with the weakened elves of the north. To the south, the centaurs had a mighty victory and exterminated the tauren of the barrens, though some tauren were still in allegiance with the orcs, and not all were lost.

This is when the Pandaren felt the tug of war, and began their struggle. The elders received word from the night elves, begging for help from the invading hordes of orcs, while the centaurs threatened their very existence.

This campaign begins during the time just before the most crucial hours of the Pandaren Empire.

What I need are:
Modellers (I could do this, but I don't have any modelling programs :( ) About 1 or 2 should do it.
Skinners (I will be doing some, if not all, skins for this, but if you are interested let me know)
Story developers: I need some help finishing the story. PM me or email me, [email protected], or more info on the story.
Mappers: I can make some maps, but I think there are a ton of guys out there who can make them better.
I am planning on doing the following: creation of new unit stats, info, etc.
Skins
some maps
dialogue for cinematics (which will be done later)
any triggers we need

design of the pandaren race
story for the campaign
Custom spells (may need help on this, not sure yet)

A few special things I would like to be able to have: custom trees that are bamboo. The ability to play with this race on normal maps, without deleting another race (basically, adding this as a new race.) Custom sounds for all units (not as many as the original races, maybe 1 or two per unit, shouldn't be too much)

Eventually we will need more guys for voice acting, beta testing, cinematic help, and technical stuff (I want this to be like RoK with its own interface, etc) but that comes after everything else.

Anyone interested post here, PM me, or email me [email protected].

TECHTREE SO FAR (This is still being worked on, and will probably change, be revised, etc. many times before it is finalized) I will update this constantly as I add new parts or become satisfied with parts I am working on.

I have more ideas I am building on, but that's everything I feel is "official".

COOL! You are actually making the Pandaren Empire. This will be the greatest mod ever. I am actually making a Pandaren-based 'sheeptag' style map. Your campaign is cool. I might make some skins for this. This should be good!
