The New Age of Warcraft map may soon have it's own forum at the Broken Ages Mapping site, a forum site for the team of (so far) me and BrokenX. I'll keep you posted about news of this, as right now the site is under development.

Looks good. I'm glad to see the nagas have a very distinct flavor instead of being just random mosh of units thrown together.

Broken Ages Mapping

Thank you, Marksman. I did try to put a lot of thought into the few units I made up, as well as the Hero I made (Medusa) However, I have to give a lot of credit to Shadowy Fear who really helped me come up with the theme to the Naga, and quite a few of the units. Also, Cres and Rinpun each gave me a great hero that I cannot wait to get started on :)

Anyway, big news, people! As of yesterday, NAoW has gotten an OFFICIAL home! :D Thanks to Broken Ages Mapping, NAoW will now have it's own forum on this site. Please, check it out, and if you want, register! :)

Broken Ages Mapping is a mapping team composed of, currently, me and BrokenX. There are 2 projects going on, Soronomai Legend and New Age of Warcraft. However, the site is under development, so expect to see many new things added to the forum in the coming days.

This sounds great alexander :D

Btw, do you need names for the naga upgrades? :p

Oh, and im just curious, but wasnt the naga Enforcer originally my idea, not rinpuns (no offense rinpun :p) ... im not sure, but it seems awfully familiar to me ... especially considering you used my exact phrases and typos, lol :p

Cant wait for it ! :D

And do you know how you're going to trigger that? :p Some of ... rinpuns ... :p spells, such as magic whirpool, seem pretty complex ...

Um, WAS it your hero? :confused: Sorry if it was. I may have to change the credits, but Rinpun still helped with all...Most :D of the concepts.

BTW, Shadowy, I would love for you to join the Broken Ages forum, and maybe even the team ;) Any maps you make would then be featured on the site. Again, it's new so it's small and doesn't have a lot of members, but I expect to change that soon enough :)

As for the triggers, yes, Rinpun is WELL KNOWN for giving me complicated spells to make :) However, he usually winds up fixing them when I screw it up ;)

Haha, all right, Ill join your forum right now :D

Yes, im positive that that was my hero ... lol, considering you just copy+pasted the whole thing, with my own sayings :p and a couple tpyo's er smoethng//

Lol, if I can ever get the concept on one of my maps down firmly enough to actually follow through with it (so many maps iv abandoned :p) then ill post some there :p. Just doodled the basic concept of my Jurassic Park: Reborn or whatever it was map of mine in math today ... (so far, I have the landing strip for the airplane :p).

I HIGHLY recomend the forest creation loop trigger in the free trigger thread; its one of the simplest, and yet most useful triggers here! I was bored, so I created a whole forest map (and then set my peasants to deforest it ... hehehe :)).

Well, ill stop this now before it gets more off - topic! :p

I'm not really familiar with what you're talking about, so what does this trigger actually DO?

Haha, its my hero :D

Oh, um, it basically (its extreeeeeeeeemly simple, just 2 basic GUI triggers, ones just a turn off switch, the other is a loop) creates a randomly placed forest by generating a tree every .1 seconds in a random place in an area, and then that loops for x seconds, until the other trigger kicks in and shuts it off. (see free trigger thread) I have tried it, and it really works wonders :D. It saves you from having to create a forest by hand (or mouse :p) and makes it completely random, ensuring that each time you play, there is a different tileset. Although it probably wouldn't work that great in your map, but for giant jungles and forests, its the best :D. You can loop other doodads into the trigger too to create the ultimate random jungle :D. And even add regions to remove doodads, to make vegatation seem sparse or remove trees altogether.

Ah, I see. A cool concept, yes, but as you stated, I doubt such a thing would work very well for this map. I'd wind up having to build around trees ;) But I'll keep it in mind for future maps :) Or maybe even SL

Alright, after playing one game as Orc against a Night Elf, here is what I have discovered.

This is all based on Beta 3.0 for refrence in 4.0

Without even playing the other races, I get a hunch that Orc is the most powerful race. I mean take this as an example, if you play melee, you know that some people tend to ues the strategy of massing watch towers, and massing bat riders. This is almost an auto win strategy. With the addition of the new towers, this becomes inevitable. Also, by late game, grunts end up becoming killing machines. I didn't even upgrade their damage at all, but with the two grunt upgrades and full armor upgrades 5 grunts couldn't be beaten. This was untill the faerie dragons came along...

There were many faerie dragons, and I was thinking they were useless, untill i saw their new move. It doesn't really need any balance as far as how much mana it drains or how much damage it does, it mainly just needs an AOE reduction.

Another thing, the spell Lightning Bolt on the shamans doesnt require the third level to use, and it has a mispelling in the tooltip, it says "Lightning Boolt".

The creeps aren't distributed properly IMO, the two green camps you get allow you to reach only level 2 before having to face orange camps. This usually isnt good enough, depending on the camp and the units you have. Also, the creeps surrounding the dragon roosts aren't strong enough. I was able to quickly beat them and mass dragons after not too long.

Well, that's all I could think of right now, hope it helps :)

Ah, thank you, Malice, I'll look into each one next time I start to work on the map :)

As for you, Shadowy Fear: Check your messages. I replied without wasting the time and possible wasted effort of e-mailing you. The topic is important, as well. :)

Shadowy Fear is the newest member of Broken Ages Mapping :) Once he decides a solid name and gives me a map description, his Jurassic Park map will be featured on our site.

Slow Work

Just a note to anyone who follows this map:

I've lately been putting a lot of work into the new Broken Ages forum, so the work on the map has become a 0 for the past few days. Once we get things set up and start gainning a few members and possibly a new admin, or a mod or two, I'll get more time to myself, but for now, just bare with me and try to live without NAoW information for awhile

Sorry

    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
