Hello everyone, I have been working diligently on my custom map, War of the Mercenaries, for almost a month now. This is the first I will post of it publically on the internet.

What is the map about?
Two clans of orc at war over resources are separated only by a river. For years the Gorhaust clan has had their gold stolen by a band of raiders who work for Warchief Groklan. After the Gorhaust clan sent their best men to deal with these six raiders and none came back, it seemed that this group of thieves were just unstoppable. Tonight, Gorhaust puts everything on the line and hires mercanaries of his own.

As a raider, your warchief Groklan trusts you to end it all tonight, and destroy Gorhaust; Who has entered the battlefield to watch over his group of hired help!

As a defender, warchief Gorhaust is paying you everything he has to turn the tables.

Victory condition: Kill the enemy warchief, who has left his clan walls to watch the battle to end them all.

Taking down a warchief will be difficult, you will need to raise an insane amount of money and purchase a crystal that will negate his aoe damage. Or killing him will be completely impossible!

As a raider, the only way to get gold is to steal it from the caravans that make their way from a random gold mine to the gorhaust clan gates along a pre-defined path.

As a defender, you will need to raise your gold by ensuring that these caravans get to warchief gorhaust safely!

The fastest way to gain experience is by stealing gold, though kills still give a handfull. Fog of war will be on, and your team doesn't share the vision of your computer controlled tribes.


Here are some pictures.

What I need:
Good, mature people.
*Surely* Someone to completely develop the item set and recipes all on his own.

*Possibly* someone to make abilities (come up with the ideas and create triggers) for the defending team.

Depending on who you are I may not want to give you an unprotected version of the map.




Im done with the team "Raiders", all heroes have custom abilties youve never seen before. They are all VERY different (min-maxed to the bone). And are all well balanced. Ive spent hundreds of hours playing the game by myself and still cant say I have a favorite.

The map is about 80% done at the moment, all thats left are the heroes for the defending team, items, and warchief AI.

Thank you all, I may post more pictures later if they are requested.
 
i can help with triggers and abilities but im not good with items i can never come up with fair prices for whatever effects the items have i suck. but im good with triggers and coming up with abilities.
 
Judging by your post history I think you might actually be pretty good.
I will probably ask you to help, thanks.
 
sounds really ausome. im pretty good with custom units.... id love a version of the map when your done, post it on the free maps string. so, what kinda stuff do you need? like what are you looking for? any themes or anything? i could help with triggers too.

Pyromancer :cool:
 
I'm pretty good but.............

I'm pretty good at all the neded jobs but i play WoW alot so I might not get much done i could do an ablility here and a trigger there but other then that................your map sounds really cool and the screen shots are awsome I could help test and give you ideas :D

I could make custom abilities, or at least come up with ideas for them ;) :)

I'm also good with weather and environmental effects, although from what you've said I think you'll have taken care of that already.
 
yea im done with my map now im bored. i reformatted my C: drive, and theres why i had the unprotected version of my map, i completely forgot about it. so my map is gone and i have nothing to do, i do NOT want to start it all over from scratch again.

    I love the Trending Content!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New News Forum World News
  • The Helper The Helper:
    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
