alright, so i was going through the creeps in the world editor, when i came across the arachnathid i thought it looked really cool so i decided i'd start reskinning it. i haven't finished that yet, but in the meantime, that gave me another idea. i want to create a new race for wc3, of nothing but robots, and maybe eventually make a campaign out of them. the race's title as it stands is "the mecha" but i'm open to ideas. the whole race will be reskinned version of any other model in the game that i choose, but i need some suggestions to make those choices, what would people like to see as a robot basically: buildings - i might actually model these instead since they don't need animations (the one thing i can't do) units: i need 1 construction unit: unit #1: obeyer (spider base) i need 4 main melee units to be produced from the main factory: unit #1: standard ripper (zergling base) unit #2: mechorpion (arachnathid base) unit #3: titanium judge (siege golem base) i need 3 projectile units unit #1: mechorpion (it doubles as both, melee with claws, aa gun with tail) unit #2: (need help with name) (skeleton archer base) unit #3: (need help with name) (orc marine base) i need 1 heavy hitter unit #1: iron mauler (ancient protector base) as a side note, this thing will be bigger than the 4 other race's buildings, hehe i need 2 light air units unit #1: dynablade - tribute to kirby (phoenix base) unit #2: cybertech angel (banshee base) i need 1 airborne heavy hitter unit #1: eclipse (frost wyrm base) there will be a building called a "drone forgery" that will be able to pump out drones that last for around 15 seconds about once every second for about 50 gold each, they can't make it to an enemy base to attack with but they'll be excellent for defending, there are 4 types unit #1: gladiator drone (skeleton knight base) unit #2: pinpoint drone (skeleton archer base) unit #3: plasma drone (skeleton mage base) unit #4: ironclad drone (orc skeleton base) i need 4 heroes: unit #1: (need help with name) (demon hunter base) unit #2: (need help with name) (dreadlord base) unit #3: (need help with name) (blademaster base unit #4: (need help with name) (bloodmage base) so there it is, some of the heroes will have summonable units but i'll decide those when i get the heroes names. so, any suggestions, comments, concerns, blatent flaming? 8)) |

contact Wargiant (MarcinAJ) on aim, tell him that I sent you and make sure he reads this, he can model quite well. |

hmm, i dunno about those exactly but i think you may be onto something, i've decided to call the blood mage one an "Orc Ravager Custom" because the main unit that creates the mecha is a unit called the "Orc Ravager Prototype" built by the humans. |
