War of the Spider

War of the Spider is based on the real WotS before wc3. Info here for those who don't know.
While Thrall was liberating his brethren in Lordaeron, Ner'zhul continued to build up his power base in Northrend. A great citadel was erected above the Icecrown Glacier and manned by the growing legions of the dead. Yet as the Lich King extended his influence over the land, one shadowy empire stood against his power. The ancient subterranean kingdom of Azjol-Nerub, which had been founded by a race of sinister humanoid spiders, sent their elite warrior-guard to attack Icecrown and end the Lich King's mad bid for dominance. Much to his frustration, Ner'zhul found that the evil nerubians were immune not only to the plague, but to his telepathic domination as well.
The nerubian spider-lords commanded vast forces and had an underground network that stretched nearly half the breadth of Northrend. Their hit-and-run tactics on the Lich King's strongholds stymied his efforts to root them out time after time.

Basics:
This is a pretty normal AoS, two teams, but there are several objectives. Such as killing the other teams main base, killing their leader and some others

Items:
Each player will have a building in their base which can combine certain items to become more powerfull, most of these will require orbs, but more on that later. Combining items will be free but the recipies will be unknown, they have to be bought from a store called the magicall bookshop. The recipies cost different ammounts depending on the oower of the final item. The recipies do nothing themselves except tell the player which items and orbs he needs to create the final item, and ofc what the final item does.

Orbs
Orbs are dropped from neutral hostiles when they are killed there are 6 types of orb and they have a percent chance to drop.

Fire orb: 1%
Ice orc: 1%
Poison orb: 1%
Darkness orb %
Lightning orb: 1%
Unknown orb 0.5%

These orbs are also purchaseable at the Auction house. Orbs cost 1500 gold to purchase so they are kinda expensive but worth it in the final items. Unknown orbs are better then normal orbs and cost 3000.

Auction house:
This shop sells totally random items, everything from orbs to fully upgraded items (rather pricy) to normal items, it changes items being sold every 5 minutes.

Goblin Mechie (sells everything that goes boom)
Sells items with charges and they go boom. Sells items such as the Thunderstone (contains one charge of forked lightning).

Goblin Alchemist:
The Alchemist sells all types of healing/buff items.


Item example: Frosthunger

Starting items: Broadsword +12, Icebound Scroll (Casts frost nova, 60 sec cd, infinite charges)
Broadsword + Icebound Scroll = Icehunger

Icehunger: Gives the hero +20 damage and a 15% chance to cast frost nova on hit.

Icehunger + Frost Orb = Frosthunger

Frosthunger: +5 to all stats, +25 damage, 25% chance to cast frost nova on hit.

Terrain:
It looks better from above btw (shabby blizz doodads)




Skins: Here is a skin I did


So far only the terrain is done and I need help with:
-Triggers
-Hero making (not just ideas)
-Object editing
-Skinning

Anyone who wants to help can post here or add me to msn [email protected]

Thanks for you time.

Sounds nice. Altho I cant do any of those jobs left free. I look forward to see this coming ;)

Terrain looks good. You might want to add your hosted at the Hubb too.

Seems like a killer project to me, but same for me as with draenei-seer cant help with any of the tasks left ;)

Good luck with it though...

Also a Jasser wouldn't hurt.... but Phumia... pardon Plastic Angels is happy the way it is made.
In a week I'll be ready for object editing (as mentioned before school ends in a week... yay) till then I'll just continue poping up items ideas etc...

BTW PA is there going to be upgrades or something?!

PS. I think recipes should be made obligatory for making items cause once you knew recipes it could save you too much money, making it hard for newcomers to play(losing money at begining)?! Though this could be a nice noob removal weapon.

i can do object editing could make heroes to aslong as i dont need heavy jass or triggering

Hired.

Not sure if custom models r needed, anyway if u hav something for me...

this looks interesting.I hate spiders but i think this will be good project :P
good luck
and terrain looks sweet

yay im hired, yah the terrain looks cool indeed

Yay welcome aboard... Now someone can take the torch of inventing cool items and stuff :P Anyway I'll be leaving for the weekend to celebrate New Year with my relatives so I send Phumes and Xeth-Ban the stuff I did (*ashamed*) when Xeth sends me his email.

BTW Selections System will be fixed once Vex uploads his spell maps...

Mail sent, though you could have PMed me

im a little disapointed, when i saw the title i thought it would be a mod, at least a campaign, but not an AoS

Mods and Campaigns are rarely popular. And I don't have the vast ammount of time/no life that it takes to make one :P
