Campaign Warcraft IV: The New Age - |Map of the Week #10|

[wc3shady]

Well orcs and night elves are for the 3rd act. I'm not sure how I'll implement Night Elves with my current ideas... maybe I'll do a TFT Orc Campaign sort of thing for them.

With Lupine Horrors you bring up a good point. How about the Spectral Passage upgrade just not be until T3?

Nah, no zombies. I have a plan for 3 more units per race. And by this, I mean there are 3 more units you can use, but you can use different ones each game with the whole 'path' things (more replay ability)

 

[bradleo]

Ya, zombies would be a thing to add if you lose a unit, say you can't get the triggering or it becomes too overpowered or something, but would not be needed at all.
I really hope you expand orcs races that they have (orc/tauren/troll) and not add a new one since they already have three combined (and since you are good with lore you know that big alliences don't last too long in warcraft).

 

[wc3shady]

yeah, i dont plan on adding extra races to them. Now, I was thinking adding Orc Spearchuckers and Wyverns, and they could mount the wyverns to become windriders, but that would be too much like the NElf hippogryph-archer thing and im planning to make only 3 extra available units per game, so 15 total available per game.

maybe... Tauren Earthshakers? Inspired by the DotA hero, he can use the earth to block pathways and such, and would use the Pulverize upgrade like normal tauren.

EDIT

UPDATE! Abilities for Inquisitors, Warders, Knight-Redeemers and Templars put up!
Inquisitors and Warderss are both focused on fending off mainly melee classes, but Inquisitors do it more offensively whilst Warders do it more defensively. Also, Knight-Redeemers and Templars both have Trample (point targeted charge that moves all enemy units in the way out of the way) so they can get into the thick of battle quickly, but the Knight-Redeemers can taunt enemies, whilst Templars can knock them away.

 

[bradleo]

Make a new tauren mage! Don't give it pulverize because it would become too powerful, but earth wall sounds cool. You could try giving it a buff, like say a negative buff that could slow, like earthquake on one unit, but any new spell would be good.

 

[wc3shady]

Hmm theres already a tauren mage and i dont want it to be full spellcaster... maybe be mana using, but like say a battle mage focused on melee

 

[bradleo]

Just don't use pulverise since it is already used. You could make a tauren version of a type of spellbreaker... in the fact that it is melee but has spellcaster characteristics. Maybe give it a stun, not pulverise, just a stun.

 

[wc3shady]

Hmm it wont train from the lodge, but the Tauren Totem and it will be T3. It will start with a chance to knockback units in front of him, and he will be able to learn his rock wall ability.

[kingbdogz]

Hows progress been going? Seems you got a long time ahead of you on this, if you ever need help just tell me :thup:

EDIT: Hey i made this Logo for my War4, if you would like to use it then you may. I'm making a new one anyway and it will have "The Awakening" down the bottom:

 

[wc3shady]

Hey you guys! Sorry no post for a few days. I'm on vacation until Christmas night.

Hehe yeah SFK is fun. I wish they had it heroic on wow. I might cut it though, its just too WoW-esque. My undead campaign... its not that spectacular. Not too epic, but it sets the stage for the rest of the game, and will open up new doors. The other campaign in act 1, the Scarlet Dawn, oh my god you guys are going to LOVE the last mission (cinematic actually). its going to be very epic.

Your not an ass CaptDeath. I will give it a look

Nice Warcraft IV logo! I wont be using it though. I will be making my own (-=

 

[kingbdogz]

Yeah I'm going on vacation soon too... hope it won't be like last time (don't ask ) Getting off-topic though so ill stop..

 

[wc3shady]

So... I need a verdict on a couple of things.

Shadowfang Keep - Keep it or toss it?
Dalaran - Keep it or toss it?

The first campaign is sort of bleh. Shadowfang Keep is really wow-esque, and I'm trying to cut down on that. Dalaran, the Scourge already attacked em once! I sort of want to change this around a lot.

Ok, now in the third campaign I need an opinion... (I've had a ton of ideas for this one)

It's suppose to be the Orc/Night Elf campaign. The first campaign (Orc Campaign) is about Kilrogg Deadeye, an aged follower of the old orcish ways, rising to power over the Dark Horde and leading them to overrule the Horde.
The second campaign... well lets just say that there are unknown forces... unknown goals. Well, you'll see.

Now, what I'm wondering is for the second campaign should it be more hero based or a night elf campaign?

Now, the Orcs are definately taking part in this...

EDIT

I need a voice actor!
For the scholar in my prologue to Lords of Vengeance.
Something sounding aged & wise, slightly gruff.

The cinematic opens to icy, calm seas. Scholar - "Over the eons, the bloodshed has been constant." (The screen fades to blighted forests) Scholar - "Mankind has had many wars amongst it's time." (You see human soldiers in battalions) "The wars with the Burning Legion... wars with the orcs and humans. But perhaps the most troubling to the world, was the conquest of the Undead Scourge." (You see an army of skeletons, abominations, frost wyrms, necromancers, and so on) "They brought death to humanity." (The undead army attacks the human army, they fight for a bit, with the camera panning around) "But no - that is not what made this war great... it was the undead power to raise the very corpses of their fallen enemies as one of their own." (The humans rise as ghouls) "And throughout this chaos, the only thing that remains a constant is the reason for all of it - vengeance." (The music becomes harder and more 'evil', and quickly the camera fades to northrend, with the camera sifting throughout a massive undead legion) "And now..." (The camera finally finds the Lich King) "Vengeance Beckons" The cinematic quickly ends.

Well I'm 14 so I couldn't do voice acting cos you probably want someone who's around 18-25 or something. I think the second campaign should be more hero based, it'll give a new style to it unlike the other campaigns.

 

[wc3shady]

Yeah I was leaning towards the hero thing as well. And I know, voice actors are extremely hard to find, but I need them to make this the best project possible.

Btw, I'm 14 as well.
(Hey, for those people that this regards too, don't judge me by my age. When some people see a big project that is being made by a younger person, they seem to... well think of it as lesser. Judge it on the actual content.)

 

[wc3shady]

UPDATE!

Project will be released in Books. In each Book, there are 2 Acts, with about 10 missions each. Book 1 is confirmed, Book 2 is pending (seeing how Book 1 goes). This was I can release the game over periods of times, and have milestones, and I can keep adding on if I want to. Believe me, I have thousands of ideas.

So are you writing the book out first then making the campaigns based on those books. Sounds like a nice idea, I was thinking of this with my last project (One War) but concluded that it would take too long. Good luck on it though :thup:

 

[wc3shady]

It's not an actual "Book", its a set of campaigns that are more intertwined than the other ones. Lords of Vengeance and Road to Redemption are both in the same boat, so they're in a Book. I just found it easier in Books.

Ahh I get it now, boy I feel stupid

 

[wc3shady]

Haha it's alright. Now you guys, (for those few of you who are tuning in) I need ideas! I'm changing what artifact the Lich King needs to summon Kil'Jaeden (from the Arcadium Crystal in Dalaran), but I need ideas to where it could be!

Also... I need a voice actor for that scholar. He sounds: Old, Slightly Gruff, Wise

Hmm how about an Artifact that was sought to be a myth, but the Lich King believes it exists and tells the Death Knight to find this Artifact that was supposedly buried in a Graveyard in... um... Dalaran? Northrend? Best I can think of.
