Guest | With the announcement that Blizzard isnt going to be adding a burning legion race, I think it is up to those who make mods to do the race justice. I know there is a ton of burning legion campaigns/modeling in production. I started this thread in order for all those creating these campaigns to show model pics, share unit ideas, and compare campaign story lines in hopes that a really awesome mod can come out that has the burning legion. Hopefully if everyone works together we can create a race that is on par with blizzard in models and balance. |

Guest | The most likely units are the ones that are already created. Begining melee unit: Felhound of course Heavy melee: Infernal perhaps with an upgradable ability that allows it to fall from the sky to its rally point. Heros: The two heroes that blizzard created could be used with downgraded spells. A third hero could be the doom guard since he was originally intended to be a hero unit. Flying units could easily be the dragons, Im not sure but I believe blizzard intended them to be burning legion units in the first place since they both come from the same dimension originaly. Buildings: The demon gate could be the main building, instead of upgrading it, it could produce higher level units depending on the number of "farms" it has. There is also the skull building that could produce demon spellcasters. Siege unit: Could be the dragon imp with low hit points but longer range similar to the mutalisk in starcraft Flying spellcaster: the drake could be a spellcaster seeing as in the books many dragons could cast spells. It could also just be a support unit that can't attack but adds multiple auras to the mix. Similar to the arbiter role in Star craft. Farms: I think their may be two ways of approaching this either make dragons farms i.e overlords starcraft. Or crystals (could use preexisting models) that allow transportation through the way gate. The more farms the better units that can be transported also. Towers: all forms of towers have been done except the seperate air only and ground only towers. The other alternative is to have the crystal farms emite a regeneration aura initially and be upgradable to emit a damage aura to enemies. Other units: the orc warchief/ orc warrior/ and saytyrs could be easily modded to create units. These are my ideas i know they are crappy and it would definitly be nice having new models in game but they will work |

Guest | The original burning legion units included a deciever, a race spellcaster that autocasts illusion before entering a fight could fill that role |

Guest | yeah everyone knows there is an edit button, but it would be pretty cool if there was a universal burning legion that everyone recognized as an equal to the other races |
