Hello everyone!

Lordaeron Defense is a combination of some of my favorite WC3 maps
which are Fortress Survival and the old Castle Defenses.
There are 5 unique races that must defend Lordaeron from Lady Sylvanas.
You can play as Human, Blood Elf, Night Elf, Druid or Demon Hunter.
Build an army within the walls of Lordaeron fight back Lady Sylvanas's
waves of minions until reinforcements from Stormwind arrive.

I have been working on this map for a very long time.
I first started conceptualizing it years ago and I think last year I finally got it to a playable stage.
So now I am ready to debug it and balance it and release a playable version.

I am looking for some testers and some one with knowledge on balancing.
I am wondering if I should just test the game and after each test write down fixes and do them until I'm satisfied.
Does that sound about right?

I have been working on this map the past couple of weeks and have the units balanced.
Currently working out a few bugs and fixes but almost done.
I am really surprised on how much fun this map is to play.

Right now I am looking for a terrainer. The map is of Lordaeran when Sylvanas sieges it.
Should be a really fun map to terrain.

I will be starting multiplayer testing soon as well if anyone would like to join in.

Right now I am looking for a Terrainer
And Testers.

I can definitely help you with testing, however I wont be able to test with you as I use a private server.
But if you send me a link to the map I can test it with many people and return with some feedback.
Reply here, PM me or add me on skype from the icon above.

Thanks a lot guys!

Today I am going to work really hard at getting a rough first version done.
Ran into a problem with night elf tree buildings.

I will keep you posted

I should be able to get a rough version done tonight or tomorrow.

Right now I am taking screenshots of Lordaeron in the TFT campaign to help with terrianing.

I also plan to make a little video to give you guys a look at the map.

Here is a testable Beta version!
View attachment LordaeronDefenseBeta1.1.w3x

Right now I am looking for a terrainer.
I have the layout of the map complete, it just needs to be prettied up.
The map theme is the ruins of Lordaeron.
I have the city sectioned off into the City Gardens, Military Ward, Cathedral, Residential District and Keep.

Contact me on Skype if you are interested in testing or terraining.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
