Warcraft: Hidden War

Ok well this post has been edited so anyone viewing can get the full story up-to-date

This is my new campaign Warcraft: Hidden War. This time i actually have a full story that I know what willl happen. Since my previous ideas I have gained alot of Warcraft Knoledge and can do pretty advanced triggers and movies. I can object edit very well and my terraining is pretty good but not brillient.

Well here is the story overview: The demons that followed mannoroth have decided to take vengence on the orcs lead by thrall. The yare amassing in outland however if they enter kalimdor the newly born world tree will surely perish fro mthe dark energy. The elders of the draenai forsaw the invasion and told they people to ready for war. However this did not go according to plan. Many draenai refused to help the orcs. however two extreemist groups were formed. The first group "orc hunters" vow to destryoy the orcs once and for all. The second named their slevs "the keepers" and constructed a powerful portal "megadues" to take them to any precise point in azeroth or outland.

They keepers rally the aid of a young goblin Gizmo to help them with the hidden war. They also rally the help of the pandaren brewmaster chen Stormstout (from the orc cmapaigns however this story folows the story of frozen throne..ish therefore he has not met rexxar yet) and the young tauren Korn. They also enlist the help of the undead. By engineering a potion they maged to cure many of the undead from their addiciton to blight(and withdrew them completly from arthas control) and now live simply as the undead and not the scourge. Rayven the dark ranger, greet the acolyte and pelatan the necromancer are the ones chosen aswel as several lesser acolytes and necromancers.

Many other allies including, dwarves, nerubians, trolls and even demons join the fight against the followers of mannoroth. Narrated by none other than medivh you will embark on the journey of a hidden war....

Most maps are playable but there are a few cinematics too. This is because after this camapign my "master plan" outland saga can take place. But i cant make that happen without explaining and lots of events (which are contained in the campaign)

Anyway i could do with a little help. This isn't going to be some campaign that takes 10 years to make with the best models and skins in the world! Hell i want it to be a good game but i want it to be a reasonable workload. Most campaign and mods have been in making for ages and will be in making for ages i just wan't mine to be good not revelutionary but good.

I can do a majority of the work myself. triggers, story and object editing are my specialty. These are the positions available:

modler/animator: like i said this is not a big deal there wont be too much work just a few units and a few buildings and anything else the mroe the merrier.

Geomerger: Kinda the same as above. But the campaign would be better as there are a few buildings and units that would look good geomerged as opposed to special effect attachments.

skinner (currently legion and Fredalf however others are welcome)): this will be used a bit more to give units a unique look and of couce to skin the models. But again im not too bothered and there wont be too much work well unless you want alot of work.

terrainer (currently Wazza) i could do with somebody to help me with the terrain cause mine looks a bit plain uneven and square.

and of couse if you can help with anything else help is appreciated :)

I hope you guys like this campaign idea and i hope you will play it when it is released. Thanks.

FINALLY, sometihng promising. Just one tihng, Anti Scourge sounds dumb, just use "Forsaken" the blizzard name for "anti-Scourge"

I am glad you aren't asking for ten thousand modelers.

For modelers and skinners, you don't need any, just make requests whenever someone offers, or look for talented ones yourself.

Seems like this may get somewhere. I can't help, but 1 terrainer is easy,in the meantime you should start work.

The panderen is a bit ify, its still an april fools joke.

How did the Draenei come to Azeroth? o.O

Since it's before the Frozen Throne, they should not be the Forsaken but a similar Undead Group I think. Looks promising, very good concept.

Thanks for the support guys :)

Just a few things that i may not have made clear :)

1: I cannot use Forsaken as a name as on blizzards "the world of warcraft" website the forsaken are trying to create a second plauge to destroy all humanity...again. So i absolutely cannot use Forsaken but your right anti-scourge sounds dumb ill think of something better ^_^ .

2: I am an everlasting fan of Pandaren and blizzard did use it in thier maps so i relly do want to use them.

3: Ok my third and final thing to clear up is "How did the Draenei come to Azeroth?". Basically i forgot to mention this is the first part of my Saga simply named Outland. The Outland Saga will not be all campaigns it will consiots of RPG's campaigns like this one multi-player mini maps and other types of map. The saga parts (chapters) wont be in order but will link into each other. This is the general outline:

At the beggining of Warcraft: The Frozen Throne the draenai discover the demons invasion (the story of Hidden War). To get to the world of warcraft they set up the "Megadues Portal" to get to almost any point in the world of warcraft by sacrifice of alot of mana or to branch out portals withing Outland's shatterd floating islands. At the end of Hidden War, Rayven realises there is no place for her anymore ion the world and goes with the draenai back to outland.

In the second chapter "Outland Hunters" and RPG. You follow the role of Sam who is an Outland Hunter, the people established by Rayven 4 years ago (yes this is 4 years later) to explore Outlands hidden depths using the Megadues. During the RPG Sam will meet Rayven and team up with her again. There are several other supprises but you'll have to wait until Hidden War is finished.

Anyway why should some Draeneis help Orcs? They were enemies since ages and now they want to help them against these demons?
Anyway the story seems interesting :>

*Snag*

You make a good point. I dont actually knwo much about the draenai and i had no idea they wer orcs enemy [kicking myself].

Never fear the power of bodge jobs are here! I'll come up with an excuse for it give me a little time.....hehehe

hehe, I often have the same problem, think of a good story and afterwards there's something you missed and makes everything weird, lol!
Anyway the reason for the draeneis help could be that they heard roumors about thrall and the orcs that fight against the demons and through their hatred against the demons, they get up and go kick a$$es! ^_^ Another option would be that something like a shaman or else from the draenei had a vision of... well, of their future or of something that makes them help the orcs! Or perhaps they believe in some kind of god which said that their destiny is to help the orcs!
Hehe, like you see, there are many ways out of this kind of problem! :D

Oooh some good ideas there. I think ill use the following for now and it gives the story yet another good twist :)

The Draenai are thirstful for the destruction of their ancient enemies the orcs. However the Draenai high-shamans began to see that their priority must be the Demons and that vengence and power the "material" that caused Draenor to be destroyed must be set aside. However many of the draenai did not agree. The draenai infortuanately split themselves into 3 groups. The first and smallet group named the Orc-Hunters(working name) were the first extreem and began plans to completly eradicate the Orcish race using the power of their own Megadues portal named "Odin". The Second largest and second extreem became the sole owners of the Original "Megadues" and the group who along side with Rayvern would become the founders of the Outland hunters. The third and perhaps most extemsive group remained as they were originally desiding that a war must not be fought with themselves or any other race, however their hatred for the orcs did remain.

*Phew* Well that will do for now if anybody find any more loopholes in my story PLEASE tell me i wan't this to be based off Warcraft but not to an extent were the world is completely changed.

I'm working on a little cinemtic music video to show off some of my triggering skills stay tuned.

(if oyu have seen the movie Kill Bill then you'll recognise the music hehehe)

hmmm.. i can join you as a terrainer, i am currently at another project but i am sure that i can handle two... if you are interessted pleas contact me at my mail or pm me:

Ok then wazza here is the first cinematic and first map.

Map 1 - cine - mysterious strangers is the cinemtic not too much of the terrain is used really but as long as it still works terrain to your herts content just to spice it up.

Map 2 - A mechanical gizmo is the first playable map, the genral gist of the terrain is there i tried my best (i made it before you joined the team) but i think it could do with much better terrain.

wel, ive spiced up the second map, the other one can just be as it is for now...

I had a look at the map and WOW you've made it look a lot better. All the triggers are intact part from one. When the gnolls appear in the bunker to the far right there is a rock that gets in the way and the grass tht makes it look like they were hidinng is gone but i can tweak that.

The next map Map 3 - A barren padaren im going to leave a lot plainer this time ill still add in the genral gist but i'll leve you a bit more work and space for creativity if you don't mind :). I havn't finished the triggers and stuff yet so please stick around i'll PM you when i post it up ok Wazza.

sure thing! :D

The map is almost done wazza i just need to check it and put in a few special features then it's your turn :0 It's VERY plain mainly because it is in the barrens of Kalimdor but still i am making it as plain as posibble so i can see your full terraining skill :)
----------
To any skinners out there i have a little task for you :)
I need the tauren warrior (the one that attacks the the big totem pole that the orcs have) made to look special. It will act as a super-unit character called Korn which is basically better than a unit but not as good as a hero and they are specific characters too :)

I need him to have kind of black runes tattoed on his skin not covering every inch but enough so it makes him look different. Now the next part is a little tricky...i think....his face currently looks a little blank and plain i need somebody to replace his FACE with that of the tauren chieftain (the orcish hero) Alternitavely if you can geo-set merge you could swap the heads completely if you can geo-set mege could it be possibe to add in the three beards hanging from the chieftains head?. I also found that the Doom Guard uses the same style of skin layout as the tauren (or minotaur as it is listed) it would be cool if someone could put the doom guard armour on him WITHOUT turning his skin red i had a go but quite simply i'm not experienced at skinning enough.

Then of course add anything you wan't to make it look different some examples: Change his hair coulor to blue, romove the nose ring, add a carved face into the totem pole have him wearing decorative bracers on his arms in place of the cloth ones. This is running as a sort of contest the best one will be used and of course you will get FULL credit.

There may be other tasks like this in the future if nobody minds :)
