Story Thus Far...
For years the undead have continuously pressed down on the Eastern Kingdoms. As the Argent Dawn mounts an offensive on the plaguelands, a new problem has arisen; the land is filled. The Eastern Kingdom has become a land of war and peril, and the Alliance is overflowing with helpless people. And so, they look to the west...

Kalimdor. With expansion long forgotten in the east, the Alliance has turned its eyes to a forgotten prospect: Theramore. A failed attempt to gain a foothold into the western fronteir. Yet now, the Alliance is once again preparing an assault force to forge a path into the Barrens, and find a new home for those trapped in the war-torn Eastern Kingdoms...

But it will not be easy. The natives of the land, for the first time in a millenium, joined forces. The Razormane, Centaur, and Ogres have put together an alliance to stop these invaders from taking their lands.

Welcome to the War of the Barrens.


So, what is War of the Barrens?
WotB, as I call it, is a strategic Hero Arena. 2 teams of 4 players will battle against each other, seeking to destroy one another's main base. Gain control over key landmarks to get an edge over your opponents, all the while empowering your hero by battling the wild monsters in the region.

Features~
Intense Hero Combat - Teamwork is essential!
Triggered Spells - Brand new spells to add to your arsenal of destruction.
Tactical Sieges - Fight smart or go home.[
As the game progresses, more features and information will be added.

Defender Heroes:
Ogre Magi
Reflective Shockwave: Unleashes a blast of energy at a target point, that is then reflected back towards the caster.
Arcane Transaction: Siphons the mana from the target over time.
Soothing Arcana: Emits a wave of soothing arcane energy that will bounce to multiple allies, healing them.
Split: Splits the Ogre Magi in two. These one-headed halves will last for 30 seconds. If either survives the hero will be revived at the end.
Centaur Earthwarden
Fury of the Earth: Gives a chance on hit to unleash a powerful war stomp, damaging and lightly stunning nearby enemies.
Imposing Power: The Earthwarden strikes cowardice into nearby opponents, slowing their attack and movement speed.
Inspiring Wrath: Unleashes a powerful roar, inspiring others to attack with more ferocity.
Power of the Earth: Animates nearby ground into two mighty rock golems, ready to destroy anything at will.
Razormane Druid
Root Mastery: Gives a chance on hit to entangle the target in roots.
Pronged Lightning: Unleashes a vast storm of lightning in a large area, hitting multiple targets.
Attribute Bonus: Increases attributes of the druid.
Builds: Flimsy Tower: Summons a weak tower from the materials of the earth.

I don't really have a confirmed date. The core gameplay is finished as is the terrain. But I'd like to get a solid group of heroes for each team and some unique mechanics in before I release it.

And thanks for the support so far, glad to hear it's lookin good :D

Ah, finally I get to see some of your maps. :D

Is it a closed-in FPS-type view? or normal WCIII style?

Do you need hero ideas or anything else? We're here. :)

It's normal wc3 camera. As for hero ideas, those would be lovely :D. Currently need 1 more defender and 2 more invaders.

    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.

    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.
