-=Archmage=-

Hello, a bit about me and the project first .

You will surely see that I have no posts at all yet, which however doesn't mean I have no experience at all. I've been around Wc3C since a lot of time, but I know how to use the Search Button ;). I am a nice person (I think :8) and I am open-minded, so members will be able to give me ideas and what they think should be better and what could be added to the map. In fact, I want to make a nice community and to have fun ^_^.

So, finally, after some days of thinking and experiencing, I massed up all my ideas and came to a project that will be titled: Archmage. I will give some info, not all of it, but to give you a general idea about the map.

• There will be different types of lands, with transitions between them, like a big world (Example: Hot, burning lava and rocks for Eradication magic, Forests and plants for Verdant magic, etc.)
• There will be five mages, each possessing different balanced magics:
  1. Ascendant (Holy, White magic)
  2. Verdant (Nature, Green magic)
  3. Eradication (Destruction, Red Magic)
  4. Nether (Unholy, Black magic)
  5. Phantasm (Pure, Blue magic)
• Each one of the five mages' goal will be to destroy their two opposing magic mages.
• There will also be powerful and different spells and units for each mages, and a special system of spell level that can be upgraded by researches and which improves spell effects.
• Your mage will also be able to level up and cast the most powerful spells of all.
• More when the team will be created!

So, for now I need a good terrainer that can control multiple aspects of terrains, like swamps, icy lands, holy grounds and temples. If there was a good triggerer it would be very helpful too. I will take care of the general ideas and the unit stats, map description, custom loading screens, these kind of things.

Thanks for reading!

Im a good terrainer..and i think i could manage working 2 projects at once..if my boss doesnt mind.




(hey look 1st post!)

Haha, nice. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

*cough* *cough* i think slith would mind lol, anywho wouldn't it be better to work on one?

anywho have you done any work on this project, other than words?

Not yet, I wanted to know with who I would work, their ideas etc. first. But everything's in my mind :P

I like terraining a variety...so I dont get bored. As for slith, we'll just double check. Well Im work on my own maps aswell that he doesnt know about...so I dont see any problem? hehe

If you like variety, you'll like this map then :D

treahrous scum, lol jokes anyways father i hope that you read fladian's FAQ... (if not and you do not want to get screamed at by fladian i highly suggest reading it)

Fladians FAQ is a luss to read..its so fakking huge. Just dont do anything u think is wrong and ull be OK. Treacherous scum eh dark? too bad u didnt spell it correctly up there, otherwise I would have taken it seriously :)

Hey this sounds like a brilliant idea, i have thought of something similar, I was going to actually talk to Metal Sonic if he would want to help me with it after House Wars. My idea was that they were mages first striving for diviness, and they pick there elements, which i made a table out of, the main elements were fire, earth, nature, water, wind, and cold. than when you put fire+water that would equal the power of steam, or nature+water get the power of acid.....etc. Or you could study into one elemental and become the divine god of fire or water or nature...but whatever, I would love to help, I know a little of everything thats basic, terraining, skinning, creating units, creating spells, i use only we no other tools but i am trying to learn.

fhsmarine you can join, I'll be happy to have you on our team ^_^. Feel free to PM me if you want info, but I'll contact you all when the team will be fully set up. Thanks!

I know, I know, it is somewhat large, yeah.

True; but you'll have to read it eventually regardless if you'll do the things fine. There are several things in the FAQ that are important to know - some things that I can point out at this very moment.

To put it to the actual and strict rules, members are only permitted to work on one project - but even in the time that I joined the forum, only little people keep themselves to those rules. As for working both on UL and another is perhaps not the best idea. UL has shown throughout the forum for that they are always in need of terrain, that is what remains important.

As for the project.
It sounds fine, reminds me of a map I played once on Bnet, but I can't really remember much of it. But then again, how long ago has it been that I even touched Warcraft?
As for you, Father Chaos, your amount of work you'll be doing is somewhat... little, don't you think? It are truly the standard ideas to stay from a distance to look, but now I mentioned 'distance' anyway, I'll have something to say about that off-topic from the thread which I'll reach eventually.

Darkhorde, I am not the type that will actually scream at people, I talk unclearly as it is :P Though I am a lot easier to understand through typed words :P Perhaps I should sing :P
Father Chaos, if no more people than this sign up, I highly suggest you to start the map with the people you have - as the FAQ mentioned.

As for "distance" part. I am highly considering of taking some distance from wc3c and try to find a place between the community of two other forums. If this feeling remains the same, then my activity will dramaticly decrease overtime here on wc3c. Fear not, I am not gone, just, somewhat less active.

Father Chaos, have you ever played the game Age of Wonders? The heroes have elements which allow them to cast different spells.

That game is more stragetic and turn based game. Hes talking about a hero game, that real time flowing.

ok ok fine...Fladian being "oh so great" has shown me the light. Ill work on UL for now ;p

Oh and Fladian..you type too much stuff in one post...why dont u double post ...lol now that would be funny.
