Warcraft 4: The Awakening - |Map of the Week #10|

Bumpz.

Once again sorry for the long wait, life is really frustrating at the moment and I've got a lot of pressure on me. Well, what I really need is those abilities for the Chronician, and also the other abilities for the Wizard and stuff. I've finally got back my external drive so I can work on it again, but it is really not worth making a replay of the game if it only has minor changes.

 

[Renendaru]

As soon as I can fix my world editor I can do them... Chronician is done but I can't really fix some stuff regarding MUI unless I can access the map... This stupid update caught me by surprise..

Hmm what update are you talking about? My world editor is working fine atm.

 

[Renendaru]

Warcraft 3 had an update yesterday. I tried patching, but my updater crashes each time I try to update.

Have you tried manually patching? Also how does that affect your world editor?

 

[Renendaru]

I can't use NewGen, since it seems to think another World Editor is up at times, and it seems to auto-crash now. I tried reinstalling into an alternate folder and this didn't work. Even tried manual patching..

Maybe the new patch doesn't work with Newgen? Try reinstalling and patch to the patch you had before this new one.

 

[Renendaru]

I've reinstalled 3 times, changed the name of the folder, removed all custom stuff from the folder, even uninstalled unnecessary stuff. None of this worked. -_-

Update!​

Once again another Update is here. Unfortunetly since I cannot access the map I cannot give you the Big Update as I'm giving a little more then just information, but let me assure you this, the Big Update was finished some time ago and I am just waiting on some crucial things that are related to the map itself. During these past weeks I've been expanding more on our new section, Morns Journal. If you did not read the last update, Morns Journal is a section where Morn, a dwarf, describes what he has encountered on his journeys. I will not release the new parts of the journal right now for reasons not revealed yet (the information reveals huge chunks of the campaign so I will release it on the big update.)

Once again I'd like for all you readers to +rep GooS for that brilliant logo that was created by him :thup:

Thought I would forget about the Creeps and Critter sections, eh? Nope, in fact I added three new additions to each section.

And finally, I'd like to finally announce something I have been working on. Recently, I have been drawing and working on the Forsaken Race! Yes, I have to admit I have not done anything on the map itself but I have done some concepts of the units. Look for your self on what I have done:

The Splinter is a great skull of huge proportions that has risen from the earthy depths to aid the Forsaken in its struggle for order. Their great flags of war and might give hope and lust to units surrounding it, making it a worth warrior on the battlefield.

The Splinter gives units surrounding it a speed bonus. Not built but summoned (notes on the Forsakens building method later).

Here are some other doodles I made of potential units, but not yet decided. Please, if you have an idea of what the unit could be named or its role, do not hesitate to give me some tips. This is where you, the fans of this project, really get to decide on some major decisions.

I know my drawings suck (I'm only 14 so I guess thats my excuse), but you get the general idea. Instead of making the Forsaken like the Undead (which has some Flesh on their units), I tried to drift off from that concept and went on to full on Skull and Bone units and I ended up with some really unique units.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed this update, I just hope no one has lost faith in this project, or thought it's dead ect. Well I assure you it is not. The absence of updates is year 10 (god damned home work), Work (5 days a week is hard to handle...), and my external driver out of reach. As slow as the progress is, I just can't throw away such an epic story (you won't think the story is epic until you see the script I've been writing, which will be revealed later) and with the Undead campaign completely redone (yup, I remade it. Yes it has the same plot line, but the original wasn't very interesting so I've redone it with some major changes and made it a lot darker. The original was kinda cheesy like a Command and Conquer campaign where you just had to conquer the other nation.), you will not be disappointed. Happy gaming!

You made this in photoshop? Lol... By all means, brutall job!

No I drew these in real life, scanned them, then inverted them to give them a gritty/awesome look.

BTW good to see you again and that someone is still following this after so long.

Tbh, the third picture looks like half a monster put on a broom. But it still looks good.

Oops I forgot to mention that was a ward like unit, not a unit it self. It's pretty much a melee ward that lasts for a short period of time, but costs very little mana and cooldown. More information will be released later of course.

Great to see you again Siretu, man how long has it been since we last had a long talk? I feel bad leaving this place for so long.

 

[Renendaru]

Sorry it took me sooo long to get back. Warcraft 3 died on me for awhile.

No problem, although I regret to admit I have been held up from releasing much because of the lack of a jasser actively working, but I can't say much as I have done nothing as well. Great to hear you got your Wc3 working again, we shall hopefully see some progress develop steadily soon

 

[Renendaru]

I feel kinda responsible for the lack of updates.

I've finished basically most undead abilities so far. I'm doing a rush job to try to finish at least 3 races. :/

Don't feel so bad, no ones rushing this project. You may have held it back slightly, but not of your own account. Plus with my map being out of reach, I could of done nothing with your spells anyway until it was back on my computer. Do it at a comfortable pace that you can do, I imagine collage or uni is really holding you back as well? That was the case last time, so if it is still the case, take your time.

Unit ideas you say? Lets see what I can come up with...the drawings look pretty beastly by the way.
Ok, the first drawing with the caster-looking dude looks sort of like a Skeletal Warlock. If you went that way, it might look something like this:
Skeletal Warlock: Primary casting unit, has the Static Charge ability(gives a unit the lightning orb ability as a buff for a bit) and can learn Buff Combustion(AOE, does damage or mana burn to all units in the area depending on how many buffs/debuffs the units have) and Skeletal Repairs(Either revives a nearby skeletal unit, or heals a skeletal unit for a lot of hitpoints).
For the giant skull crab thing, it looks like it might be a parasitic creature, so for it:
Gorgonoid: Undead parasitic heavy melee unit, can learn the Infest ability(autocast melee, infests a unit with parasitic worms which periodically take life from the infected unit and give it to the casting unit).
The last thing might look like this:
Razorbones: Heavy ranged unit, flings spiked bones at enemies. Can learn the Anti-dynamics ability(shoots spikes at air units, dealing damage and bringing them to the ground. However, they can still move, but very slowly. "Clipping their wings", if you will).
Sounds like you already have an idea for the ward unit, so I don't think I need to give you an idea there.
