You don't know what i'm capable of so don't pass over this

My Info
I'm Andy, and you probably don't recognize me from any topic in these Forums, and as you can see from my post count, I don't really post often.

I've been working with the World Editor ever since I got Warcraft III, but much more since I got The Frozen Throne. I haven't done any maps that I worked really hard on, just some that I messed around with to learn all the triggers, they didn't have a good story, nor did they show my full abilities.

This is my first time wanting to do a big campaign, and actually try hard to make a great map. I have the idea, the story is in progress, and I promise it will be much different than other campaigns out there.

General Idea
This will basically be a story about Magic vs. Technology. The campaign will take place over a span of 300 years.. with each new point of time the parts will take place in will feature new magic or technology for the chosen race, which would be in the form of new units, buildings, items, and abilities (a slow evolution, with just a few new units, or some replaced over time.. not entirely new units and such each part..). It will begin with a full-cinematic prelude to tell the history of the Planet and how the war came to be. Part 1 will begin exactly where the Prelude left off. There is no name for this campaign yet.

Premise
The Planet Azulia had been at peace for well over a thousand years. Magic was known to everyone and taught to everyone in school, it was a part of everyone's daily life. Magic held together homes, it cooked food, and was the primary source of entertainment. The only problem with magic was that it left people mentally drained at the end of the day from using it too much.

One day a man came along with strange ideas with claims to make magic a thing of the past. He created things that performed actions without the use of magic. These inventions confused the world but also gained alot of attention.

The man had everything behind him until it was discovered that his inventions were polluting the water supply and the air that everyone breathed. People were getting sick and dying from this, and he became a hated man by many.

This causes a chain of events which eventually leads to a civil war breaking out on the Planet Azulia between the magic users and those using technology.


Needs (Absolutely necessary for the campaign)

Map Makers - I'm sorry, but i'm just overall terrible at this. I try and try and map making just isn't for me. (By this I meant a person to help with the terrain)
Skinners - This is definitely necessary. I haven't tried it myself..

Wants (What I would also like to have)

Triggerer - I am good at it myself, but I would like the opportunity to work with another at this, and hopefully learn from each other and share ideas.
Modelers - I can imagine this project would probably be best with some new models..
AI Editors - I don't have every part written yet so I don't know if this will be needed or not.

Blah Stuff
I am hoping to find reliable and friendly people to work with. I want to have fun doing this project, if it ends up not being fun, then there is no point in doing it. I doubt I will attract experienced people to this project, as I have nothing yet. But thats ok, if you're wanting to get known on this forum and show your talents, this is a good opportunity for you. Myself, I am mainly interested in proving to myself what I can do, I want to make this project something I can be proud of.

I have AIM, MSN, Yahoo, all that stuff.. contact me on your preferred messenger (or by e-mail) if you are interested in helping me or interested in learning more, or just interested in talking. I think it shows all my messenger info in my profile...

Thanks.

Hm, I like the story, it has potential. Let's see what you're capable of doing...

*Fights technology* :P

Have you played Arcanum, MrAwesome? That's all about ... well, the tagline was 'An industrial revolution in a world of magic.'. It did the idea fairly well.

ill skin for you

Hi, I have never heard of Arcanum. Is this a regular game or a Warcraft III mod?




Excellent, i'll talk to you on AIM whenever I see you on.

I could help Trigger... im pretty good at certain stuff.

Heh, you're joking, right?

Was it funny?

No, I wasn't joking.

Mr.Awsome if you need a spell dude i can do spells.

BTW Arcanum was a computer game.

It resembles FallOut (Was made by some people who actually left Black Isle). Do a search at google for it. I've already said the tagline, which pretty much describes it.

Well I definitely didn't copy their idea but it does seem really similar... but I really like the idea of evolution of war spanning 300 years so i'll keep the idea.
