Hello everyone!

Lordaeron Defense is a combination of some of my favorite WC3 maps
which are Fortress Survival and the old Castle Defenses.
There are 5 unique races that must defend Lordaeron from Lady Sylvanas.
You can play as Human, Blood Elf, Night Elf, Druid or Demon Hunter.
Build an army within the walls of Lordaeron fight back Lady Sylvanas's
waves of minions until reinforcements from Stormwind arrive.

I have been working on this map for a very long time.
I first started conceptualizing it years ago and I think last year I finally got it to a playable stage.
So now I am ready to debug it and balance it and release a playable version.

I am looking for some testers and some one with knowledge on balancing.
I am wondering if I should just test the game and after each test write down fixes and do them until I'm satisfied.
Does that sound about right?

I have been working on this map the past couple of weeks and have the units balanced.
Currently working out a few bugs and fixes but almost done.
I am really surprised on how much fun this map is to play.

Right now I am looking for a terrainer. The map is of Lordaeran when Sylvanas sieges it.
Should be a really fun map to terrain.

I will be starting multiplayer testing soon as well if anyone would like to join in.

Right now I am looking for a Terrainer
And Testers.

I can definitely help you with testing, however I wont be able to test with you as I use a private server.
But if you send me a link to the map I can test it with many people and return with some feedback.
Reply here, PM me or add me on skype from the icon above.

I should be able to get a rough version done tonight or tomorrow.

Right now I am taking screenshots of Lordaeron in the TFT campaign to help with terrianing.

I also plan to make a little video to give you guys a look at the map.

Here is a testable Beta version!
View attachment LordaeronDefenseBeta1.1.w3x

Right now I am looking for a terrainer.
I have the layout of the map complete, it just needs to be prettied up.
The map theme is the ruins of Lordaeron.
I have the city sectioned off into the City Gardens, Military Ward, Cathedral, Residential District and Keep.

Contact me on Skype if you are interested in testing or terraining.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
