Race-Building Contest #1 Submissions

This thread is intended for posting final submissions for the 1st Race-Building contest. Any posts not containing a submission will be deleted, so please post any such comments in the main contest thread instead.

Attached is the Bandit race that I worked on. It has been tested ingame, and I couldn't wait to show it off. The race contains only two units that can hit fliers, though it seems to do better against buildings. Siege weapons need to be researched before they can be used, and mounted characters are only available when there is a stable.

There was a map with an AI up here, but I removed it just in case I couldn't have both. (AI map and non-AI map).

Update - March 8, '09 Fix'd: - Fixed building tooltips for Boot Camp, Siege Tent, and Stable. - Fixed an error in the level skip requirement for "Fight Them!" - Changed pathing map and size of Stable. - Changed button position of "Get Moving!" and Thunder Storm. --- - Increased defense bonus for "Heads Up!" from 3 to 15. --- - Changed the Trebuchet's Projectile Launch Z to 900 from 160 Known bugs: - Exploit: Players can Pack Up a Command Tent, move it closer to a Gold Mine, then unpack. This makes the number of miners needed to mine quickly equal to 2. - Players may receive a warning to 'build a Town Hall or they will be revealed in 2 minutes'. Although the Command Tent is classified as a Town Hall, it somehow doesn't count in normal melee. - Due to Wc3's wierd Defeat conditions, having only a Packed Command Tent will not save players from defeat (even if they can unpack and rebuild)

Update - March 14, '09 Fix'd: - Reduced movement speed of packed tents. - Game now uses a custom victory/defeat trigger that checks for Buildings and workers when a unit dies. Defeated players give control of their remaining units to allied players. (Credits to Michael Peppers.) - Packed Command Tents now move away from Gold Mines if they get within 512. (again, thanks to Peppers and cosmicat) Known bugs: - The new victory defeat trigger doesn't account for any units other than buildings and 'peon-type' units. A player who has neither is denied the chance of a final retaliation strike. 'peon-type' units include Peasants, Peons, Acolytes, Wisps, Engineers, and any other worker for a custom race.

Here is my submission

Swarm and make good use of the units with swarming abilities, every kobold except the scavenger auguments itself with a bonus to attack.
The hero is speciallized in augumenting, so make good use of his lantern aura.

Hidden information: Techtree: units: Kobold Miner: candle, build, repair etc. Kobold Swarmer: bash, swarming, candle Trapper: stasis trap, ensnare, Molotov Cocktail, candle Scavenger: ensnare Stone Golem: no specific Sapper: Burrow, supereffective building destructor Cave Bat: swarming, evasion Geomancer: firebolt, entangling roots, Rock Fall Woundmaster: Heal, Abolish Magic, Rejuvenation. Barrager: AoE damage, return gold and lumber Heroes: Taskmaster: Bomb Barrage, Get Working!, Lantern Aura, Earthquake Buildings: Kobold Great Hive: town hall, also contains gold mining and pillage upgrades Shelter: food producer Tunneler's Den: Barracks, Produces Swarmers, Ratorg riders, barragers and golems Fire Arrow Bunker: Defencive building Map Centre: Advanced troop production, produces cave bats, trappers, geomancers, healers and contains ensnare and caster upgrades. Altar of The Rock: Altar Cave Forge: Weapons and Armor upgrades Gold Vein: small gold mine strengths: very high food production, cheap units, lots of aura-like abilities, excellent for swarming and hit and run tactics EDIT: Fixed some balancing stuff

This is the final submission, everything is finished, and the race is a down to earth kobold race, no fancy triggering, just a perfect kobold race as it should be.

Submission completed!

This is my submission - the Murlocs.
The credits are in the map description.
I will be away for a couple of days, so I may be late into the marking/ judging etc.
Good luck to all!

This is my submission. Effectively, it's a specific facet of the Goblin race; the ones heavily associated with mechanical things (for the most part). (I say this because it could've been Alchemy-based, Explosive-based, or Greed-based, and I want to differentiate between what people might think as "obvious" for Goblins).

Anyway, that was a bit wordy. Enjoy! :P

--EDIT--
2,500th post! What a coincidence. :P

Done a little hurriedly, Hero skills arent exactly finished (some of them have been replaced with generic skills).

Jungle race, has no theme...
