The Chronicles of Kaitar: Elvenseed

Allright. Time to post my campaign also here

Elvenseed is gonna be the first campaign in a series that i wrote. A mighty sorcerer, Kaitar, documents those storys in a book of eternal knowledge. Thats why the titel.

Elvenseed features an story that runs before warcraft II. The Highelves live in peace in theyre mystic forest and there city, Silvermoon. But the peace finds a quick end after some scouts reported a terrible thing: The village Goldleaf has been destroyed and the citizens have been killed and mutilated. The high council of silvermoon decide that the young highmage Sylvos Magefire and some soldiers should visit the ruins and search for clues who the foe was that destroyed the little town, and for what reason. But from the beginnung on something doesent seem to be right, ...

The campaign gone show an alignment system that changes the abilities of the hero and what he says with the acts he does. If he helps poor villages against bandits, he gets a good alignment points. In the opposit, if he uses his magic to put the guards to sleep so that the bandits can do there job without any fight, he gets evil points. Rather simple. There will be 2 different Ends of the campaign, an good and an evil one. It will be a mix of RPG, Strategy, Fixed Forces and riddles. It will also features a love story and some other story parts that will continue in other campaigns... (hopefully ^^)

Have a look at this 'placeholder' ...

At the moment my team and i balance the new Highelven Tech-Tree. I will show some screenshots soon here.
Before i forget... suggestions, ideas and all are welcome. I also still need some helpers around, so if anyone is interested...

awesome, from the screen shots alone i can tell this is going to be an awesome map!!

Sounds nice.

So thanks to armel i have a new model for the highelf-major.
Hes gonna appear sometimes and can be trained in some missions via altar as seconde hero.



The most parts a recolored or something. Some parts are drawn from me like Helmet and wings.

Wow, that model is nice! Btw is armel in your team?? Conceptor? He's very good at drawing!

No, he's not. Tried to convice him, but he has his own projects running.

Here another new model, this time its for the humans. The church.


Just like in WarCraft II the church provides the upgrade to change knights into paladins and holds the researches of ther abilties.

That's great mon! Ya made it yourself??

you need any voicing i'm your man

I really do. Cause i use units that are taken from war2 or new some unit-soundset-files would be great. Also voiceacting for the heroes would be nice, but lets talk about that when i'm nearly finished.

And here some Shots of Models and Skins...




Edit:
Have a look at this skin. I still work on it, but say what you think till now.

Nice models again! Did I already give you rep?

you should ask someone to refine those skins, they could use quite some more work.
I'll have to admit that this looks promising.

Maybe you could tell me what on i need to work more? I learned drawing skins just a few days ago, before i just did copy'n'past. I glady take every hint i get.

*points at sig*
If you can bring out the looks of a distinct material on the skins, you would have improved them much. aka: make the metal LOOK like metal, same applies to other materials.

Right now everything is just a basic amount of shading.

personally i reckon models look great as is

but i was wondering if after ur done if you could release the models onto wc3search since they'd be really really nice in some maps

I surely will share some of them, but not all. Cause TCoK is a series of campaigns and maps, not just one campaign. So i keep the good things for the following parts.

Edit: I redone the Paladin a bit after watching your skinning movie. I think its better then before.
