Warcraft IV : Secrets of the Titans​

Warcraft IV has a different gameplay from Warcraft III and some new features :
-Naval Battle in Melee Maps : Like Wc, Navals Battles are included in melee maps in Warcraft IV. It inludes Military Ships, Transports and Naval Builders

But that's not all, in a dark shadowy planet, strange humanoid beings are trying to flee their homeland due to the recent Legion invasion, when all these humanoids fleed, the planets was torn apart, throught, Kil'jaeden is fascinated by the possibility that the creatures can create portals so easily, so he decided to hunt them but he don't know that they landed in Outland...

Well good luck

Well, good luck with this. You've got some competition! :thup:

Urghh, another one. No offence to you dude, I really hope you actually come through with this so that we have competition. Competition keeps people motivated on both sides. It is just that I see SO many of these it actually makes me feel sick inside.

Good luck though, you have my full attention and support! Give me a heads up if you need help. I'm quite experienced in modding the game itself and have had a few years experience with World Editor. :)

I don't wanna go off-topic but I will at least explain that to you. You see before we merged I was about to announce that the project was dead due to lack of motivation. Shady had the same problem, so we merged to create something big and full of life. While we may not be as strong today as we were before, we are still motivated and plan to release it one day or another. The huge problem is Shady. While I have had some great ideas and plans in the past, I'm hardly as good as Shady in terms of organization. Plus me and Shady always helped each other greatly in our projects, so it was kinda like we were merged already but our ideas got split into two projects.

I have no intention to merge again, and beta is heading to release this year.

thus proves it you cant beat em, join em.

He joined me :nuts: We would have both died anyway if you looked at our progress from last projects...

I'm not very sure of the progress percentage but I'm focusing on making all the Fel Orcs units and the Illidaris.

ANOTHER ONE?

This theme now is very repetitive, I'm starting to feel like every week, or least 3 times a month someone will announce a new wc4 project... Then they drop it later on...

I really wish people would only announce projects if they have a lot done... Thats what I do...


I also wish people would stop using this theme, I remember when once in a blue moon someone would start a wc4, now, its as common as lordaeran maps... And those are VERY common.

Since lot of wc4 projects are relatively the same, they should all just team up and make one, rather then every person making a wc4 slightly different...

While it doesn't seem so at the moment, my Warcraft IV is VERY unique in every way. The lore is different (a lot of people use a lot of Fel Orcs and generic ideas, and I don't) and the races are probably the most unique ones ever created in a Warcraft III project. Romek can confirm this, I believe.

Please try not to go off-topic by saying "Wow another one" though, do we want to make this person feel bad about his project or do we want to encourage him to finish it? :thup:

A great tip is to never announce something unless you have a lot of progress in it, otherwise they barely start it, and either start a team for them to do it, or spend all there time on ideas and not actually get much done. This is extremely common. However I hope this guy succeeds where most fail :)

Btw king I never said yours wasn't unqiue, by theme being repetitive I mean making a wc4
