The Tales of Raviganion 3.2 Released

You heard (or saw) right! It's finally released. So head over to the download section and grab it while it's hot! (BitTorrent needed) For those who downloaded the mod before 20. March 2004 please redownload. Light versions are on their way. For those who doesn't know what this mod is about, here's a short description of it.

The Tales of Raviganion (previously known as The New Race Mod) is a mod that replaces all the four races of wc3 with entirely new ones. Humans are replaced with Wood Elves, Orcs with Trolls, Undead with Chaos and Night Elf with Swamp Dwellers. There are plenty of features in TToR which makes the gameplay differ alot from TFT, for instance there are naval battle support as all races comes with a shipyard and three boats. We've decided to leave the Algarvians out for the 3.2 version though. The mod is also full of new models, spells and music. The mod utilizes Advanced Melee AI for computer players and TToR is compatible with battle.net for those who also have the mod. For a more detailed list of features and models click here.

I went to the "Download section" and it said "Downloads are currently taken down. Please wait for the next release. Thank you."

Lol... im credited for something... Thanks RF... no prob for the model and stuff... im downloading it right now and cant wait to play.!

It wont downlaod... it gets about halfway and then it stops... i check the zip and it has errors... so um ya

Same here. Maybe you should part it in two parts instead?

Yes, these server timeouts are retarded.

Maybe you can upload it to fileplanet server as well? They have more stable and faster connection and it free! The catch is that there is a line for d/l. >_<

If you bothered looking... it's 119 megs...

It got out today, a lot of people are downloading it.. Of course you have problems.. try to download a download resumer, like getright. I downloaded it at full speed all the way... ;)

I have been waiting since Frozen Throne came out. :D :D

Very Very good, buuuut

There are issues

- Wood Elf ranged seems seriously overpowered (archers with the upgrade fire 2 'bonus' arrows, should be 1 right?) as it tears everything including buildings apart thanks to seige damage.
- Divine units have hero inventories, and they arnt heros, All ok, except for tomes which cause a crash if they are picked up a mjor bug if it this is going to be played compeditivly.
- WTF is with the sudden slowing of all my units? it seems similar to what happens to gold collecting workers yet it affects all units and basically totally stuffs the experience as my units plod alogn at about 90 movement speed.
- the Wood elf sharpshooters snipe, 300 range, 300(!!) damage and a 2 second stun at lvl 1 all for 90 mana, come on did you even balance test this?
- the level advancement for Chaos's mind flayers parasite thingy is stuffed, requires lvl 1,2,4 to learn.

Thats it for now, i cant comment on any other balance until i see it more in action.

The one ultimate guy for the uruk/goblins [its late memory's bad] is too... ultimate...

It's unkillable.

Also, the merchant hero's bribe can bribe peasants of other races... meaning that race can build the technology of all four.

My personal advice is to limit the bribe to nonbuilders/heros.



BBDino: Weather effect I think.

Moved until Rightfield talks to me about getting some mirrors. This thing totaly killed the site tonight.. 120MB downloads are not kind on servers.

Moop didn't make that pixie model. It was IceKnight as I remember.

I think it's an awesome mod, my only complaint is that damn slow movement glitch, it's really annoying.
