Looking For Helpers On Dragon Tactics Map

I am in the process of making a map. There are 3 different 'factions' in the map. 2 of the factions are enemy dragons, and the other is a very large human town in the middle. Humans will be killed in one shot by the dragons, and the dragons will of course have AoE attacks, but human archers/spear throwers will be able to do a lot of damage to the dragon before they die (by hitting the belly etc.) The dragons will be able to fly and walk on land. In air, they are able to use their breath on the ground and air, and since the breath will have a fairly long cooldown (recharging the fire/lightning/poison/frost in their bellies and all that) they will also have a claw attack. Each color of dragon will have different breath, with different cooldowns, and with different effects, as well as different spells. On ground (I will use the walking model Mc ! submitted) they will also be able to breath in the air and on the ground. Each breath/damage spell will have to be aimed manually, and it will take about 1 second to cast/blow and they will not travel extraordinarily fast, so dragon fights will take proper dodging and timing the right times to fire your proper spells, as well as knowing when to hit them with the claw attack. The thing that'll allow balance is that there will be no levels. Each dragon will 'age' up to a certain point. When killed, the dragon will respawn as an egg to be born into a newborn again. Each dragon lair will have X amount of eggs, so they won't be able to respawn over and over and over. The eggs will be killable, so on raids to the enemy lair, taking out the eggs would be smart, but of course they'd be guarded.

I want the game to be fair and take skill to play, which is why there will be no leveling and there will be aiming for every attack. Not sure if it's possible to allow debuffs, like Cripple, to be aimed and fired as a projectile, but if so i'd love it if that could be added as well.

There is many more details I have in mind, but I don't exactly have the time to type them and i'd prefer to discuss the other ideas in mind with the person/people who decide to help me with this, instead of emptying my brain on these forums. The main thing I need right now is a good terrainer, and someone who could help me with some advanced triggers (JASS etc.) that I might need. You can PM me here, respond here, or send a whisper to Zeknennomorph on USEast aka Azeroth.

I'll like to test this map on battle.net. You tell me when you need me on Battle.net. Just contact me on aol aim. I am on most of the time.

Ummm, the map technically has not yet even been started yet. I don't think we'll have much for testing for a while.

So far, I have no one who wants to help. =/ I really need someone to help me with terrain. A good triggerer would be nice too, but I don't want to begin too much on the map until the terrain is down. Please guys, either e-mail me at [email protected], PM me here, PM me at www.wc3sear.ch, respond to this post, or send a whisper to Zeknennomorph on Azeroth (East server).
