i wont to make a race using the uprooted night elf buildings as units
this race is to have the most powerfull units in my map but hard to use
the thing is i dunno where to start
I'd start by making custom units in the Object Editor (you can do this by copying and pasting any unit), and then changing their model files to those of ancients, and giving them stats as you see fit. I wouldn't start with the buildings as a base. Copy a footman or something to start, then slow it down and make it more powerful, and change its model.

do something a bit like protoss with pylons
if structures arent near a pylon, they will lose health or are disabled or something
and if you wanted to go further, make it that units will not regenerate unless they are near a pylon, or maybe lose health if they are not near a pylon
this way forward bases are really important, or else you cant effectively attack
Making a custom race will take a long time, u will need to balance it out, create custom heros with their own unique abilities, new units etc etc. Will take atleast a week to make the perfect custom race.
You could use the trees in the doodads for buildings, and change their art scaling values so that they're bigger than the trees, or you can make the night elf uprooted units a smaller scaling value. You could also find custom models of trees, maybe have a mountain and custom make a stone tree or something.
Make the spells have long cast times (Like an entangling root spell with some 2 second-3 second cast time), because they are slow. In general make the race really bulky but slow in attack/move speed/turn rate everything. Make some healing abilities, and mix between healing/support abilities with maybe 1 or 2 destructive ones. Research should be based to improve their armor, attack damage and speed (Chlorophyl?). Make a hits from them count and have large damage (maybe even critical sometimes) and make them have siege/chaos damage type (something heavy). Buildings should be protectors (Different skins?), and stuff like that. Give all of them the root ability, where their defensive abilities and healing goes up, but they can't attack.
I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
Finally finding about some of the bots that are flooding the users online - bytespider apparently is a huge offender here - ignores robots.txt and comes in from a ton of different IPs
Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
