Splitting the Races

Something i've been thinking alot about is splitting the current races into these new ones and making each fully playable. Thinking of a storyline which would cause this.

-Human (Balanced, Warfare)
-Blood Elf (Magic, Traditional)
-Dwarf / Gnome (Tech, Seige)
-Orc / Centuar (Strength, Shamanistic, Traditional)
-Troll / Tuaren (Strength, Voodoo/Druid)
-Forsaken (Altered Form of Undead)
-Nerubian / Worgen / Vampire (Undecided)
-Night Elf (Undecided)
-Naga / Murloc (undecided)
-Goblin (Merchant, Explosive)
-Draenei (Magic, Curroption)
-Terran (Fully-Hero Race)

One of the main goals is to try and have less micro, and more strategy into the game. I started writing out a techtree switch.

Human
Footman - Same
Rifleman - ??Crossbowmen
Knight - Same
Sorceress - ??Rogue
Priest - ??Monk
Spell Breaker - ??Bard
Motar - Cannon
Siege Engine - Military Transport
Gryphon - Same
Dragonhawk - ??
New - Officer

Blood Elf Build Similar to Human

Priest (Heal removed, replaced with ??)
Sorceress

Draenei Huge Lack of Models on this part, if to be like new-wow version.

Terran
-Hero Only Race, Start with one hero and purchase more at COmmand Center/ upgrade current ones with special buildings


Just want ideas to help this along, I know this is a huge, and probaly hopeless project, and is very unrefined at the moment. The races would be implemented one at a time anyway so I want to try and plan ahead.

One of the greatest problems of this kind of project is the lack of artwork and models available.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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

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