Campaign idea

Let me start off by saying what i need:

• at least 3 to 4 skinners
• a modeller
• a spell editor
• at least 3 map detailers
• maybe: trigger man, concept artist, map maker, idea man

Ok, this story is centered around forest Trolls. The story starts as a war between the Shadowfire Clan* of Trolls and the Spear-shard Clan* is in the midst of happening. It soon escalates to a conflict with Orcs where many Trolls are taken captive. The trolls (both clans) travel to a Orc prison camp to find their brothers only to find that the Orcs have left for Kalimdor. There they are aided by fleeding humans in need of shelter and protection from the Undead. It soon moves on to the betraying the humans after they help with the killing of the undead forces in the area and taking their supplys to move forth to Kalimdor. It might end there, i am not too sure. It will have 3 final major levels consisting of defeating the undead, defeating the foe troll tribe, and destroying the humans probably and new troll heros. I can offer much on the table, i can skin, map, trigger, map detail, and draw concepts so i wont be just some guy with an idea. :D
I was thinking along the lines of these:

Forest Troll Witchdoctor:
intelligance hero
spells:[list=1][*]Flaming Soul: A targeted unit is hit with a buring bolt of energy, damaging it[*]no name yet: witchdoctor summons 3 (blanks) to fight for you (something small since they are 3)[*]Troll Regen. Aura: heals units in the area of the witchdoctor faster[*]Fire Shadows (ultimate):the witchdoctor calls down 2 invunerable troll firemasters to fight for 14 sec.[/list=1]
as for other things, more troll buildings, more troll units, and just about more troll everything! :D If anyone would like to help, please post saying so and what your talents are. :gsmile:

*names are not final

Got any samples of what you can do?

You can count me 100% in since I simply loooooove trolls, especially the forest ones. I have already done a Chaos Troll skin (look at my Avatar!) which I planned to use in a campaign of my own, but I'm too lazy to do terrain, so I dropped it. However I need a good drawing program, since my trial version of PSP7 has run out, and it's way too expensive to buy the real one.

Another thing: I think you should change the witchdocter hero to a high priest or something, since it's island trolls who got which docters.

i didn't know that knight of ni, thanx. you sound like you could be a good idea man, i need someone who knows a lot about wc3 history, trolls, and such. :D So, i can count you in for... skinning? right?

EDIT: believe it or not, there was like 5+ links left emote_sweat

Yes, I am a skinner, just downloaded the PSP7 trial version in my little brothers name, so just tell me what to do!

And yes: I am quiet a history freak, real world, warcraft, starcraft, SW, you name it.:ggani:

Ni, could you link me to some of your skin posts? :bgrun:

I can be an idea man, Scripter, namer, etc. Im inspired lol.

I'll help out with WC history and stuff. Along with Deicide, I love the story and knowing all the details. I've already got a few things to say about your story-plan in the first post, above (Trolls fighting orcs would be rare). I am majorly busy with other projects, but feel free to PM, mail or post any Q's you may have.

very cool vamp, thanx. you can write up the script for the first map and PM for now :D Ni, check your PMs, i sent you the "plans" for the 1st skin :ggani:

Chelo, Do u remember me???? No, not the milkman, the guy from the skin contest(who?) well, i have learned to skin and i have PSP7 and Photoshop 7 too, so, there are 2 experienced skinners, and i have good skills(look my sign... plz tell me that it is good :))... Maybe u will need more experienced ppl, but a little hepl can help...lol

... I am working in a exampkle of my work, but I have one problem man... I can do great skins but i am and idiot trying to add them to a map!!! but u can do it right? that was all... PLZ PM me... LOL

Magic if you could explain: why is it so rare for orcs and trolls to fight? If the ocrs start it would it make more sense? also, Raztagael, post some links of your work :D so i can see

Well, they were once good allies, share the same enemies and look similar.
Of course, the orcs could be demon-driven, or the trolls could be even more savage than usual, or either side could be so mad they'd forget their similarities and wage war. Thrall's Horde (Which it was at the time of their exodus from Azeroth) are far more noble than the previous one, and so would only fight as a last resort of sorts.

thanx a lot, i think one of the troll clans will be more savage and attack the Orcs. Then, the orcs will attack the trolls, both bases that is... considering the trolls look relativley the same. I think one will be purple or cyan and one will be green.

Troll unit ideas:

troll dueler- a lanky troll weilding two short blades, will be fast with good attack points, but low hitpoints.
gash: dueler has a 5-10% chance on doing double attack points

troll brute- a large lumbering ogre like troll, sorta like a tauren or abomination. Strong against buildings, but slow and expensive.
spike cudgel: slams a unit with it's cudgel killing it instantly (can't be used on heros, 15% chance of missing if possible.)

Troll Suicider- A fast but weak hit point unit that moves into a enemies base and lays abomb (mine) If possible, i would like that to be a spell. After which it can kaboom just like a goblin sapper, one difference though, i want it to explode if it is killed and do damage to the units around it, is this possible? Also he will be able to attack normally, but it will be weak and useless like a priest's attack, only doing like 8-10 damage.
Bomb: Suicider lays a bomb in selected area, bomb will only explode when an enemy approaches dealing 800 damage to the unit and any around it(one time use like sentinel)

those are some ideas i just came up with, i'll draw the concepts later :gsmile: so, watcha y'all think?

Good names, but I fiddled with some names as well.

Klunky Da'Basher: Name of a troll Hero whos bigger and taller than other trolls and wields (whatever you would like him to wield) If you pick him for sumthing then ill make him spells later

Troll Crusader: Strong Troll warrior wielding a long blade, average attack speed, but great melee damage.

Troll Mangler: Fast troll warrior with low damage and low HP but fast attack speed.

Troll Whelp: Basic troll builder

Troll Seeker: Troll spellcaster with moderate HP and low ranged attack. Wields a hammer or a mace
Troll Seeker Spells:
-Scaling Agility: single target attack and movement speed enhancer
-Insidious: poisons a small area of enemy units, subtracting 3hp per second for 15 seconds **Requires Adept Training**
-Baneful: Single friendly target spell, when baneful is cast on a target, if that target is killed while baneful is active, it will subtract 5 hp per second of the killing unit until that unit is killed or dispelled. Lasts 60 seconds

Troll Gnasher: Troll with moderate HP moderate damage and average attack speed
Troll Gnasher Spells:
-(Passive Skill) Shred: The Troll Gnasher has a 15% chance of getting a 50% attack speed increase for 10 seconds

These are just sum ideas to show u wat I thought off.
oh BTW for your witchdoctor spell

Envoke: summons three Gremlins to do the witchdoctors biddings
