I am in need of a terrainer for my Gladiator Arena project (name subject to change). Here is What I would like: 1. Style: barrens Arena: I want this arena to feel brutal, as if those hwo fight here perform brutal acts in the name of survival. I have been suggested by others to make the spectator section of it like Dalaran, but I don't want that. I want it to be an arena in some secluded backwater area that retains the theme of the arena. None of the terrain should have any buildings or structures. Walls should be cliffs that form the actual arena. 2. Geography: I would like 4 gates to lead into the center arena that can be opened and closed. 3 of the 4 gates should lead to a spawn area which does not need to be more than a narrow strip with raised walls to prevent players from moving into it. The last gate, which I would prefer be the north one will lead into the gladiator spawn area with items. This area should look and feel like a gladiator pit that sinks lower than the rest of the map. 3. Arena: I want certain areas to have tactical advantage. I want (a) one corner to be raised with staggered destructibles to block the path of ranged mobs, (b) a raised center area to look like a stage that has pathing blockers (bloodstained stones maybe?) in the form of a latin cross. i.e. the path you can move on is a latin cross. (c) a "maze" of destructibles in one corner. Basically, using destructibles make a small maze in the corner that allows several paths to be taken. Feel free to use trees, barricades, cages, or any other destructibles that fit the terrain. (d) a circle of staggered stones. In other words, the PC's could make a stand here by blocking off entrances into a circular defense that allows healers and casters to be protected. (e) some kind of bridge like structure. All I want is a pather that acts like a bridge would: hallway with two ends. This can be a bridge, Line of spears, or anything else that would look natural in the environment. 4. Spectator area: make sure to leave room for spectators. You can make stands for them, although that would be difficult to give a natural feel to the map. You may add spectators if you want. In that aspect I'm at a loss for what I want to see. Just make sure there is one. Also have a throne area for the arena master. I would think to put this area north of the gladiator cave listed 2. Geography. 5. Flavor: The race to characterize any flavor would be orc, followed by centaur. I encourage flavor to be added via any horde, tauren, or centaur doodads. 6. Important notes: make it look like an unforgiving dirt arena. The Geography and Arena points are open to interpretation, but please create what I have outlined. Anyone interested in this please let me know via this forum and I will get in touch with you. If you wish to see the project idea, check in project development. |

Hey buddy, I sent you an email, but have yet to get a reply from you. I'm really interested in having some help with terrain for this map. |

I've already made a few posts in your thread in Project Discussion, and I'd like to help you with your project. I've got good skills with terraining. I have a very random schedule, but for the most part I've got weekends to work on the terrain. Send me a PM with a more in-depth description of what you'd like and I'll be glad to help. |

This message is intended for Omega-Prime. Do not download it, it is not functional at this moment. Note to Omega: This map is not meant to be functional at the moment. I am giving it to you purely as terrain reference, although you are welcome to look at what I've done. |

My fault, I didn't see this pastebin stuff until after I sent the PM. Will do so in the future. |
