What is this thread?
If you have an idea to do with Warcraft III mapping, post it here.

What can I post
Anything to do with mapping. That can be map-type ideas, unit ideas, hero ideas, spell idea and such.

What can't I post
What this thread doesn't need is things like 'TeH 133T TD MAP IDEA'. Your ideas must be new, TO DO with mapping, and presented in an easy to understand and informative way.

What are you (mods) going to do to keep this in-line?
I (and any other mod) will delete in-appropriate posts. If you have an idea but don't post it in clear, understandable english, it will be removed. There will be no warning. Anything not to do with map ideas will be considered spam and appropriate action will be taken.

IMPORTANT!
At the first line of any idea post, you must place a title containing the following things:
>Idea Name
>Idea Creator
>Difficulty level (Beginner, Intermediate, Expert)

The title must be color-coded to show what type of idea it is according to this list:

Ability Idea (orange-red)
Unit Idea (dark-blue)
Hero Idea (green)
Map Idea (purple)
Miscellanious Idea (deeppink)

Do it like the following:

Summoner Hero ^ 35263526 ^ Expert
Idea text goes here. Do a summary, put some comments, and make it easy to understand and intelligent.

I think that if people manage to follow the rules this could be a great resource to mappers. So have fun, and get thinking!

This was a hero I had made up back when I was visiting the warcraftstrategy forums, looking back its kinda stupid (but still managed 2 win the monthly competition lol), but ill post it anyway. You could actually do his spells with triggering now, I wonder how he'd turn out...

Fire Gust
The swiftest of the Blood Elves, the Avengers are able to put on a short term burst of hyper speed, outrunning the fastest runners and nimbly dodging attacks.
+10% movement speed, 10% evasion
+20% movement speed, 20% evasion
+30% movement speed, 30% evasion

Beserk Fury
Every casualty of his race just causes to anger the Avenger further, adding to his madness. The result being a frenzied Avenger, throwing himself at the enemy discarding all thought of self preservation, only that of vengeance at any cost.
Every unit killed belonging to the Avengers player adds +.5 to the Avengers agility. Has the AoE of an aura.
Every unit killed belonging to the Avenger?s player adds +.75 to the Avengers agility. Has the AoE of an aura.
Every unit killed belonging to the BAvengers player adds +1 to the Avengers agility. Has the AoE of an aura.

Vengances Call
The Avenger has the power to unlock the rage hidden within those that he leads, resulting in a stronger and faster force.
Adds +8% attack speed to those around the Avenger
Adds +16% attack speed to those around the Avenger
Adds +24% attack speed to those around the Avenger

Fire Storm
Descending into the darkest depth of madness, the Avenger draws forth all his powers in a last ditch attempt to destroy all those who oppose him. The spell results in the Avenger being engulfed in flames with the units around him weapons glowing red.

Improves the effectiveness of the all the Avengers powers, Vengance Aura now becomes 12%, 24% 36%, Berserk Fury adds +1.00 +1.25 +1.5 agility and Fire Gust adds +15% +26% +40% to movement and evasion.

Yea I know its the txts r pretty cheesy, and note I didnt design all this stuff just now, I dont have that much time on my hands, oh you can see his crappy concept art someone drew (wtf, purple? tho his armors cool).

I got this idea and made it 5 min ago... and it works!

Melt-
If the unit is the target of a ability, he will copy the skill and be able to cast it.


I tried casting bloodlust on him, and now he can cast it too! =)

I wont tell how i did, but i guess anybody with alittle spell triggering skill can figure it out quickly, and i guess lots of ppl have allready made this:D

Not a very good idea, but an idea nonetheless. It's a series of mini games where you compete for cheats such as more money, health, units etc. And after that you kind of have a hero arena type match where you use your cheats to your advantage.

First Person Tower^-={tWiStÄr}=-^Intermediate
you make a tower with a camara at the top facing out towards the enemys coming (maybe have 4 camaras insided facing eachway so they can rotate with arrow keys.) You then make a trigger that checks when the player controlling the tower selects something and when they do you either order the tower to attack, or if you want less accurate you can make a trigger launching a missle at the unit with a % to miss because you can probably click on a unit pretty accuratly, so can your tower but 100% accuracy everytime is cheap :bgrun: The player gets into the tower by typing something or bringing a heroe nearby, but makesure that it does no damage unless someone is in it so it is actually an advantage to be in.
And thats it :D
