I'd be happy to skin for it. I need to take on a project or two, to get some experience skinning.

I can do really complex triggers useing the umswe but thats about it

Also Murgles and Murlocs are so overlooked! blizzard just placed them their for more superior races to destroy them.

EDIT: also what is the difference between murlocs and murgles besides the name?

Storyline:

On the west coast of Kalimdor, the murloc warlord Demo'dish finds a trapped demon spirit, who promises the murloc unreal power.

All demo'dish has to do is wear the demon spirit's crown (will make for a cool skin/model). demo'dish accepts and puts on the crown. he then goes into a chaotic rage, hungry for blood and conquest.

he turns to conquering the murloc tribes, and enslaves the poor murlocs, forcing them to harvest power from foutains (replacing gold mines).

after making short work of the murloc tribes, demo'dish turns to other races to conquer: the closest troll tribe, the Gouranga tribe. after hearing of this the gouranga leader Melkas vows to destroy demo'dish and his demonic crown.

scenarios would be played from demo'dishs side "the corrupted murlocs" and the "gouranga tribe". demo'dish's scenarios would play like original RTS stuff, while the gouranga tribes maps would play more like Diablo style RPGs.

hope you liked this idea, PM me or whatever.

well, the murlocs are not so close to the nether, so their not as strong as the murguls, the murguls are slaves to the naga, the murguls can swim in water, and from what i remember, the murlocs can NOT..

I like this idea somewhat, though I think I shall not volunteer for you project, for I am of little use as of late. Classes and college work consume my time, and my computer, as of late, is unfit to weild the World Editor with any strength.

But, I do have some ideas for you.

When I think of Merlocs, I see the creatures that infest the rivers, steams and lakes of the once peaceful Lordaeron. If we were to journey back in time - far back in time - we might come upon a day when the Merlocs rose up against Lordaeron.

They would muster their forces and the rivers would teem with the Merlocs and their allies. And once gathered, the Merlocs would make their war. A war of swift strikes and retreats. They would mass in streams near villages and then, without warning swiftly strike. When their wrath was ended, then would return to the rivers and retreat, for the forces of Lordaeron could not follow them thither.

And, in the land of Lordaeron there are many lakes and streams. Some even ran through the largest of cities. And so the men of the land became dreadfully freightened of the waters, for they knew that great danger lurked beneath its slowly moving surface.

And now for a different sort of idea, one regarding the nature of the Merlocs themselves.

If I were to create an identity for the race of Merlocs, it would not be one of savagery and bloodlust. I would say the Merlocs are a simple race, content to live in the peace of their streams. To us their speech would be simple, even funny at times, and they would be very casual and mellow with one another.

But, if I were to name a thing that would stir the wrath of the Merlocs, it would be revenge. Revenge for something slain the the ignorance of the men of Lordaeron.

In my mind I see a great beast of Lake Lordaemere. To us, it would be akin to the Loch Ness monster, but to the Merlocs of old, it was their dearest friend and their greatest king, whom all Merlocs worshiped as a god.

And one fell day, the men of Lordaeron hunted down the beast of Lake Lordaemere and slew it, and this terrible crime came heavy to the Merlocs who grew hot with the fires of vengeance. And so it was, for the love of their fallen king, that the Merlocs went to war.

These are just some of my ideas. And though they are lengthy in the telling, I believe they are good. And thus, I put it to you to deem their merit.

uh sorry about that double post but i got an idea about the terrain. you could try to reskin a tileset for some kind of underwater terrain and if we add an image in the screen its could look like underwater. since murloc are amphibious its could be good that some levels are in deep water ill try a little someting today to see if its possible. Oh and if u really need to i could maybe try for concept art about murlocs i hope i could be of assistance.:ggani:

i think im quite a good idea person... heres 1 that big beast.. there were many like it, but this 1 was the biggest, and the murlocs cam train these things (i imagine them as some sort of seasnakes) They should also, instead of harvesting wood, they should be harvesting alges, uknow those things that grows on the seafloor. They should also be able to hide in the mud, kinda like a mix up with burrow and hide.

like the ideas?

p.s. they r kinda lousy i think:ggani:
