Reroute to Remain: Official Thread

Reroute to Remain is a blood elves camapign that me a few others are naking. From now on, any ideas, comments, and so on are put here. The campaign takes place about 20 years after Illidan's defeat at the battle of Mt. Hyjal. It starts off like this......

Its been around 20-30 years after the battle at the frozen throne. The blood elve's army is once again vast after many years and thriving under the command of Illidan stormrage, who rules the black citadel and all the hellfire peninsula. Illiadan also controlls the many races that inhabit that region. They are planning for another attack on the frozen throne in the future. Most of them are ready to rid azeroth of the scourge for good, an reclain their birthrights. However, Kael has been restless. Unable to sleep and ponders by himself often. One day, an elven Swordsmaster named Heo Sunstrider asks him what has ben troubling him. Kael tells him of strange dreams he has been having lately. He speaks of an old Wizard, strangely fimiliar to him.... as if he has seen him before. In the dreams, the old man only ever says one thing: Reroute your people, or do not remain. In the dreams, the old wizard stands on a large rock, overlooking a field full of dead elves. Kael believes that this is a message being sent to him... indicating a very real danger, that could eliminate his people, once and for all........ also another strange thing that has troubled him...... what happened to Kiljaeden?... Why did he never return to Illidan?....... Only time will tell.....

hey man i loev the stroy but when do it get to skin something ^^

I thought illidan was dead?

oh, i see. It's looks very intresting. Is it safe to assume this Heo character will be the main character.
I never liked the whole illiad/blood elves/naga alliance, it has no core or depth. It's just all the elven leftovers put together. Hopefully aaa you can put the high elves back to world power status with this story.

You can have my help for as long as you need it. I can help you with story/skinning, and well, anybody can terrain.

finally got 3dsmax, i can proly help in modifying certain units/making units

Im really gonna need you to learn geoset merging and animation trasfers. Most models will be comprised of these, so learn how to do it. Once you learn, tell me. I have a few jobs for you.

As for you skinners, most of the jobs will come when the models are done. As for now, i have a few things needed.:

Metropolis to finish up the archer, a blood mage icon with lighter blonde hair, A town hall skinned like elven buildings( like the color pattern on the elven farm. Replace the grey bricks on the castle with that), and the elven blade master from the DL section with aromor like the blood mages on his legs, chest and shoulders. Blizzball you can start these. Metropolis, finish up the archer then start one of these. Just make sure that you two are not doing the same thing.

Models needed from you Aznwhore are: A mounted male archer, a ghoul with the wings of a gargoyle or succubus on his back, The elven blademaster from the DL section with the spell breakers robe instead of legs (also thin him down a bit to make him more elvish), and take the gryphon aviary and replace the griffon head with a dragon haw's. ( the dragon hawk beast, not the rider) Once you've mastered geoset merging, get to work on these.

I will continue to make terrain. Tiki, im gonna need you to do some cinematics in the very near future, as well as some triggers. Aznwhore, i believe that tufy has already made a mounted archer, animated and everything. Maybe if you could make some kind of deal with him, you can save yourself a lot of work.

Anything else needed i will post.

Blood Master(blademaster in the DL section) and townhall/keep/castle. hmm, well i could do either. i guess i'll take the Elf BM.


Here's the Archer. Unfortunately the inside of the cape is linked with the archers hair color.
*EDIT*
It looks like crap but here's what i got so far. This will take alot of free hand so give me a while.
*EDIT*
Oh yeah, thanks to Ice Knight for this BM model, credit goes to him for his great job.

You mcan change the hair color, since the model im putting the skin on has a priest's head. The elven BM skin is good. Just make the arms match the fleshtone of the face. Also, lighten the hair on him to a darker blonde.

I meant lighter blonde, my bad.

problem..when i dled the winmpg, i tried to open it but it keeps putting up a message "bla" and then closes itself...

<btw, this is the neccessity for geosetmerging>

See if you can figure out the problem. As for everyone else, heres the knight we are going to be using. The blood leven Knight.

Ohh, the blood leven knight, sounds interesting... anyway, this sounds pretty cool, if you guys need a good skinner, e-mail me at [email protected]

Can we get a better pic, zoom in a little brighten up the lighting(click the button k) and kill of the terrain(view=terrain=hidden) so we can check the skin.

BTW....your where going to change the face of the archer, so why did you make me work on it.....and your going to put the preistes face on a male archers body? Whats going on. I'll just go ahead and change the hair color then.

Ive got some more work to be done. I need one of you guys to take this Icon of the priest and make it have tose glowing green blood elf eyes instead of the glowing blue ones. This is the icon for the archer. Metropolis, thisis the archer model that we are using

Hi guys. I have the blood elven tech tree. I have also changed my AIM SN to Smirnov1788.
The Blood Elven Tech tree is as followed. Tell me what you guys all think:

STRUCTURES:

Town Hall- trains Workers, upgrades to a kepp and castle like the humans. (skin needed)
Farm- Same as human farms but has 8 food and uses the elven farm model
Barracks- Primary troop production building. Trains Swordsman, Archer, Blood Elven Knight, and Mounted Archer.
Arcane Sanctum- Trains spellcasters. Trains Spellbreakers, sorceress, and Priest.
Shipyard- Trains ships. Builds Blood Elven Transports, Blood Elven Frigate, and Blood Elven Battleship.
Dragon Hawk Roost- Trains Dragon hawks and contains the dragon hawk mount upgrade. Tis allows the lance to mount the dragon hawk.
Arcane Vault- Same as the human. New items though.
Energy Tower- Basic defensive structure. Can be upgraded into the Sky fury tower or earth fury tower, which have greater attack against certain units.
Earth Fury Tower- Is upgraded from the energy tower. Has advantage against ground units.
Sky Fury Tower- Is upgraded from the energy tower. Has an advantage against air units.

Ranger- Upgraded form of the archer.
Blood Elven Knight- Same as the human knight, but made better with the ability to resist magic
Mounted Archer- archer mounted on a horse. a heavy ranged and fast cavalry unit. Probably the most versatile unit in the blood elf arsenal.
Transport Ship- Naval vessel used to transport units across water.
Frigate- Agile naval vessel good for taking out air units.
Battleship- Heavy naval vessel used to seige enemy units. Very good against other units and structures.
Spellbreaker- anti caster

Warlock- Adavanced spellcaster that is the second level of the priest. Has a higher attack, mana, and life. Also granted spell immunity.
Sorceress- Disrupting spellcaster. Has the slow, Invisibility, and Polymorph abilities.
Dragon Hawk- A heavy Anti Air unit that knoes devour. Can be mounted by a lancer to become a dragon hawk rider.
Lancer- Lightly armored, but agile footsoldier. Can be mounted onto the dragon hawk to become a dragon hawk rider.
Blood Elven Sentinel - A more heavily armored archer that has the feedback and searing arrows abilities.
Dragon Hawk Rider- Versatile air unit. Can learn the Aerial Shackle s and cloud abilities.
Bolt Thrower- Heavy anti ground unit. Fires bolts which can strike units in a large arean for a lot of damage.

These are the units so far that i have thought should be in the blood elven tech tree. Any comments are welcome. Most of these units still need their skins and models.
