Hello there! :)
This is my newest project, started a few days ago. It should be said that this map isn't yet playable as intnded.
Please feel free to open it up in WE or wc3 and have a look tho :thup:

Chrystal Ruins

Short description of what I've got in mind:
-4 players, FFA. Will maybe enable alliances later, but for now it'll be 1v1v1v1.
-All players have a Chrystal Tower that actually is a Hero, able to cast various spells, research upgrades, and get items for all-map-auras and other stuff.
-The goal is to capture the "point" in the middle and hold it as long as possible. Every three seconds that it's held by a player all other players' Towers loose 1 life.
-Last player with more than 0 Life wins. Simple as that :)
-The 4 normal playable races (selectable in the join-screen in wc3) decide what units you get (will be elaborated below).
-3 units for each race, with at least 2 upgrades tied to each unit.
-A herolike unit that can convert the Apocalypse Chrystal in the middle.
-Remade Hero Attributes to fit the Tower better (look in the screenie below)


Look at these screenies so you know how it currently looks.

(The Apocalypse Chrysal, as seen from the side)


All races (Human/Orc/Undead/Night Elf) have an Embassy (main building except for the Tower) where you train units and upgrade them.
Counting the special mip-point-capturing-unit there are four unique unit types with one ability and two upgrades tied to each.
Every time a unit dies, the Tower owned by the same player as the killing unit gain 100 exp.


I'm of course open to suggestions and thoughts, and I'm very eager to hear what you think about the whole thing! :) :thup:
Any ideas/questions about something in the map?
Gimme feedback! :)

Hahaha, really good point mate :p

That's mostly because I changed he original idea.
But the Towers are still called "Crystalline Tower" and the items the towers can have will be diffrent kinds of chrystals to enhance it's powers.

I'll either change the name or make sure there is a more chrystalline feeling to it :)
I think a lot can be done by placing chrystal-like doodads and stuff.


EDIT: The name stays as seen in the edited main post there's plenty more crystal around ;)

Sorry for double posting.
I just thought I'd update the thread with new screenshots and a download link to the 0.2wip map :)
The main post is edited accordingly.

Please feel free to post any comments/questions/ideas/other feedback. I'm all ears!

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

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