Hi everybody on the TH after I'm going to start with a new campain. The story of the campain is here:

12 years have past of the great battles of earth, the times where no one was respected, everything was killed and no one was spared, these are the times that the people will always be scared of to come back.

Now the king of Triadeon have discovered that some of their best spies and men have been slaughtered, they have seen that a war is coming, a war that they cannot fight, a war they will loose...

They were right after 2 months the Wargalrs attacked, no one was able to help the city of Tradeon, no body ever came, no body wanted to come...

As their last hope they send the city's of the land Kidadom a massage to be peppered and gather armor and weapons before it's too late. Now your the worlds last hope so now go out there and fight!

Siridon Missions
Cinematic
The people of Sirodon walk the streets like if it was a normal day, but not for long enough cause the last spy of Triadeon enters the kingdom on his almighty horse.
- Hail! I'm the last spy of Triadeon and i bring an important massage to the king! says he to the guards
The guards look at man with skeptic eyes and say:
- Yes sure, and I'm the king of OZ.
The captain exits the gate of the city and says to his guards:*
- Fools what are you doing don't you understand that this is important?!
The captain starts walking back to where he came from and spy follows him.

He enter his room and asks what the spy wants and the spy tells the story about the city of Triadeon.
He also says that the Wargarls are attacking in 2 months so he must be peppered and act fast.

Mission 1 - The first hope
Build 3 barracks and 4 squads and then proceed to the extraction point for further information from you captain...

To bee continued....

So that was a little information about story so here is a little about the gameplay:
Gameplay
This is not a regular map with a spam and spawn system, here their are squad systems here is explanation for the squad system:
A squad is a bunch of units who follow their leader. Anything the leader does, their companions will do as well. The leader can stop leading his troops or recruit/dismiss new/old units, the leader can choose from different kind of formations: circle, line etc.

If the leader dies then the unit that have killed the most units in the squad will get promoted to the leader. The group that have the most kills will maybe get +dmg, more hp reg, mana reg and so on.

These are the ranks a unit can achieve:
Battle Roar Buff = 2 kills = Slayer

Blue mana sphere: 5 kills = Lieutenant

Green mana thing = 7 kills = Major

Berserker Buff = 9 kills = Srg

Crown over head buff = 11 kills (this is the rank before captain) = Second leader of the squad (dunno the name of that rank :p).

Flag on it's back = Captain :)

Well cinematics and terrain isn't really the main part of the map, so it's not really "credit taking". :rolleyes:

Nothing, just know that I was supporting you, :)

What do you need to do to be captain? It seems like you don't need to kill a lot to rank up.

Ehh you need to be the one that have killed the most units in the group :)

And I could use some support on the terrian cause am thinking of releasing a trailer soon :)


And what do ya think of this unit:

Smoker
This is the Wargral assassin, he is based on casting smoke on enemy locations so he can go unseen and assassinate them. If you have a couple of these it would be pretty deadly and would be the best choice for amushing archers.

I have some ability ideas for him here are they:

Smoke Attack [required Upgrade]
Whenever the Smoker is ordered to attack an enemy then he automatically casts a smoke grenade at the location making him invisible in it.
Feral Sense
The Smoker enters his Feral Sense making him able to see invisible units, hidden unit (behind bushes, all units will get highlighted) and he will gain the ability to climb on specific walls.

Hmm i have a trailer for the campaign on my mind i thought like this:

First you see from 1st person view from a Wargral footmans eyes. Then suddenly a rain of arrows rains down from heaven on them.

Then you can see in slowmotion how the footman's die and they shout:
- RAIN OF ARROWS!!

When the group of wargrals are dead the archer shout in victory, when somebody throws a smoke bomb at their postion and they shout:

- SMOKERS! RUN FOR YOU LIFE!

Then the view changes in to a smokers eyes (the view of a smoker is like a normal persons view but with red lines on the sides, so it looks you're looking through a beasts eyes, which he pretty much is) and then the smoker takes his hand up in the air to kill the archer and then it fades out with a big text that show:

The Dark Battles

Coming Sooner then you expect.

So what do ya think?

Is it good or bad please leave feedback :)!

    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.
