I am looking for some people to help me with a campaign that I have come up with. Here's the story: Ten years after the Battle of Mt. Hyjal, a new threat comes to Azeroth. Northrend begins to sink beneath the ocean. The Maelstorm stops its violent turning. Then, out of nowhere, a mysterious army begins to attack everyone: Tauren, Troll, Orc, Human, Gnome, Undead, Dwarf, High Elf, Naga, Night Elf, etc. Then, a strange old man wearing a pointed hat appears and warns the leaders of the Horde and Alliance that this strange army flags the banner of the Dark Sovereign, an ancient being who desires to rule the world. Can the Horde and Alliance put aside their differences once more in order to stop a being whose power surpasses the all of the demons of the Burning Legion, especially Sargeras's power? Or is it too late for them stop the Dark Sovereign? And who is this old man wearing a pointed hat? Is he an ally of good or an agent of darkness? People I need: Someone who can help me with the triggers (I can't seem to get them just right) Someone who can make models and skins, as well as unit icons (the ones you see in the cutscenes) People who can test the game with me (the more people testing it, the more errors we can find and correct ) And that's it. I will be doing the storyline and plot and the characters' names. |

Uhm yeah, I'll test it, maybe skin as well. It seems you have little editing experiance, if you're just doing the story, but that's okay everyone has to start somewhere :ggani:. Are you gonna be making the maps, or is that going to left for the triggerer to do? I can do loading screens and concept art, if that's any help? |

I'm not that good of an artist, so I appreciate your help Ionia. About the storyline and plot, that doesn't mean that no one else can work with me on the storyline and plot. All ideas and opinions are welcome. And there isn't a deadline. Therefore, there is no need to rush to get things done. The story is similar to the game, but has a lot of new stuff. Think of it like a cross between Warcraft and Lord of the Rings. Anyway, the story has some unexpected surprises (such as the gnomes :ggani: ). The Campaign is called War Against the Darkness. It begins with reports of a strange army calling itself the Dark Legion. And for the maps, I and anyone else who wants to will be making them. Now, if anyone wants to help me with the plot, I would appreciate it. |

The idea is good, but if you have to be realistic, it is a little bit stupid that a dark creature who is more powerfull than Sargeras has never been hurt of before?!. But allright, it is your story. Ill be Trigger/Maps if you wish me, my mailadress is: [email protected] I know it may sound whired, but i am from Denmark.... From there we can contact further if you want. I have helped many people with there Campaign and i have been MapArtist for the Human Campaign in TFT for Blizzard Entertainment. You can see my name on the Credits if you dont believe me: Jarl Sidelmann |

it would be awesome if like all of the good races (Night Elves, Humans, Etc..) had to ally with the demons (taking a tremendous risk , but both the mortals and the demons are in danger of being annihalated, so thats why they ally, even tho they dont trust each other:D just a thought |

Nice to meet you Kiljaeden. Although it is my story, I am open to all suggestions that would make the storyline better. What do you suggest? And thank you for helping with the triggers and maps. I'll send you the first ones when I am finished with them. You can add and alter or even take out of stuff in order to make the map look better. I am thinking of taking out the part where Northrend sinks. It doesn't fit in the storyline. Here are some new units I'm thinking of using: Harvest Golems, Gnome crossbow soldiers (gnomes armed with crossbows), Dark Legionnaires, Rockjaw Troggs, Worgens, and Gnome knife-throwers (female gnomes who throw knives). What do all of you think? |

Do a more original plot that doesn't mess about with the WC universe, says me. Most fans don't like it otherwise in my experience. |
| 01-23-2004, 10:38 AM | #9 |
BOOOOOOOT! Not true! Fans love it when there are costum maps. I dont really have that many suggestions, since it is your campaign i will follow you and make what you want me to make... Although i do have some character names, if you want, here are some: Mortanus Aramis Buranîr Dranog Feoroth (i know theres a dreadlord named Fearoth, but anyway...) Hope to hear from you... |

| 01-23-2004, 04:19 PM | #11 |
kiljaden, its a big diffrence betwen custom maps and messing around with the wc universe u know? |
| 01-24-2004, 12:12 AM | #12 |
to me, i think of that old guy with the pointed hat a little like i think of gandalf...:bgrun: |
| 01-24-2004, 12:32 PM | #13 |
Well, i think of Medivh? As for Costum Maps, i dont think of Tower Defendse and Hero Arenas, but of stuff like Vampire Hunters and Nature Calls, that doesent have anything to do with the actual Warcraft 3 Univers... ;) :gsmile: |

It sounds like a good idea. I can be your triggerer, my e-mail adress is: [email protected] I have a pretty thorough understanding of triggers. |
| 01-26-2004, 12:45 AM | #15 |
Having more than one triggerer is good. And the guy with the pointed hat is supposed to be similar to Gandalf. I had wanted a model of Gandalf to use in this campaign. But, he isn't named Gandalf; he is named Merlin. I am about done with the first map. Now, the thing that may need to be altered on the maps is the cut scenes. I think I made them too long or too short. When you guys edit/add/subtract/fix the triggers, you may need to change the lengths. Also, the units that the Dark Legion uses are the following and yes, the quotes are corny: Dark Legionnaire: An evil knight wielding a two-handed sword. He enjoys in bringing death and sorrow to all who stand in his way. Quotes: Pissed1: "I will kill all who follow the Light!"

Warcry: "Cower before my mastery of the black arts!" Attack1: "I shall make you fear the Dark Legion!" Attack2: "Die fool!" What1: "The powers of good are nothing compared to the powers of darkness!" What2: "I am ready to cause malice." Spectral Tormentor: A ghostly specter that causes pain to not only one's body, but also their mind and soul. Pissed1: "The screams of the suffering and dying are music to my ears." Pissed2: "I enjoy killing people. It's fun!" Move1: "I sense souls that need to be tormented."

Attack2: "I will make you wish that you were never born!" Attack3: "You will feel untold pain!" What1: "I must hurry for there are many souls to torment." What2: "Souls await to feel untold anguish!" Doom Rider: Armored mounted warrior wielding a flail and riding a demonic unicorn, the sight of his black armor strikes fear into all who believe in hope. Pissed1: "I am a Doom Rider." Pissed2: "I am a bringer of doom. Ready: "Hope shall die." Move1: "Doom has come to Azeroth!" Move2: "I shall trample all who oppose me." Warcry: "Feel the Crack of Doom!"

Dark Disciple: An evil acolyte who has sworn an oath to cover Azeroth in darkness. Dark Disciples are the workers of the Dark Legion. Pissed1: "This land must be purged of the light." Pissed2: "Working for the Dark Legion is my job...I love it! Ready: "I shall give my life for the darkness." Harvest: "For the Legion of Darkness." Attack1: "Feel the wrath of my anger." Attack2: "I come to kill you, fool!" Warcry: "Darkness is my master!" Move1: "It shall be done, my lord." Move2: "For you, my master." What1: "What is your order, my liege?" What2: "Your command, master?" Shadow Dragon Rider: The Legion of Darkness has corrupted many of Azeroth's and Outland's dragons, turning them into Shadow Dragons. The brave and ruthless riders are masters at controlling them and he and his mount are the last thing one sees when one encounters a Shadow Dragon Rider. Pissed1: "I feel the Winds of Chaos!" Pissed2: "I enjoy the shadows." Ready: "The Shadows are at your command." Move1: "The shadow shall cover the land." Move2: "I fly like the shadows themselves." Warcry: "I am the Shadow of Death!"

Move2: "I'll stamp out this accursed light!" Warcry: "Darkness shall prevail!" Attack1: "Perish beneath my hooves!" Attack2: "Fear me! For I am the stuff of nightmares!" What1: "Hurry up!" What2: "I have little patience!" Fiend Summoner: A mage who has master the art of summoning creatures to serve the Dark Legion. He can even control demons. Pissed1: "Summoning is an art. Live with it." Pissed2: "Summoning is easy. Why? Because I say so that's why!" Ready: "Darkness has summoned me." Move1: "Evil is my mission." Move2: "I shall summon chaos upon this world." Warcry: "I summon your worst fears!" Attack1: "Time for you to die." Attack2: "Mercy is for the weak-minded." Spell: "I summon the monsters of destruction!"
