WIP Warcraft IV

[soul_reaper]

Just one question about an idea I got.
In melee maps, and maybe campaigns, there is sometimes a "creep camp" which are neutral hostile's unit which build a base.If a player destroys the base, he get control of a mercenary camp allowing him to train some units.

And here some example of how the War IV's icon looks like :



It's basically a little overview of the unit's model.I prefer this to the normal unit's icon since since players can have an idea about the unit
Of course it's has border in-game

PS : It's the first I made ^^

Nice idea for the icons! If you want to make it look a lot more appealing, you could perhaps make the colour of the units a sepia or gray/white tone. Also, have fog around the unit for a form of background. As for the neutral base, I like that idea. Infact me and Shady have been planning to do something similar for a while, but we want them to act more like "Intelligent Animals in Packs" instead of a seperate unplayable race. Creep races generally don't work together too well.

Mine lasted more than 1 month throught, and I'm still working on it .
I just bumped this old thread for 2 reason :
1) Unfortunately, my computer crashed, all the units, missions and models were deleted and I fear that I have to restart the project.It may halt the progress but that's not a very big deal.
2)I'm looking for 3 spells for the Banshee

Lol, if you were going to say you were dropping the pro0ject cus of that, we would likely just say "pft BS" Because you will see all sorts of excuses for killing a project, true or not.

I never said that I will kill this project :nuts:
It's just, bad luck.It is the life
I also said that it's not a big deal since I working as fast as I can to reamake what I lost.

I knew you had no sign from me these days but I'm still working and Warcraft IV.Here a little update with a small introduction about the Undeads :

Like in warcraft 3, the Undeads still harvest lumber with the Ghoul and gold with the Acolyte.They also still "summons" buildings.but they have a new defensive strategy : anupgrade called "Soul Collection",reshearched in the Necropolis, which, whenever an enemy unit dies, heals nearby buildings, this is helpful if you have tower massing.
Let's talk about the basic melee unit of the Undeads : The Ghoul.
Before starting, I'd like to say that I highly improved the ghoul because warcraft 3's players seems to use Ghouls ONLY for lumber harvesting.
The new Ghouls (Note that name gonna change) have a little life and armor but they are extremely fast, in attacking and moving.They have an ability, which needs an upgrades, called Ghoul Frenzy, that gives the Ghoul 15% chance to increases the attack speed of the Ghoul.They also have another upgrades, called "Feast", which gives 25% lifesteal for the Ghoul when in Frenzy, with their high damage and attack speed, they are capable of regeneration so they compensate their low life
The second unit, the Bone Fletcher, is the new ranged unit of the Scourge's army.They have an ability called Ice Arrow that slows enemies, allowing the Bone Fletcher to achieve melee enemies easily.

That's all for now, more to come soon throught.
Suggestion, critism and feedback are welcome.
