New Race

Sometime ago when i was noob at mele maps i really got bored playing with 4 races, and i wanted something new.. I propose a contest of making a total new race for mele maps.. that would be just cool

That would take a long time and might take a few people. You would need skins, icons, models, and a techtree. Some people don't know how to do all four of those. Though an interesting idea, I can't see it turning out too well.

Theres allready been a contest like this I think. And you wouldnt need custom resources. Just a little imagination.

There is a contest for this already. It's called the... forget. It's where you have to create a fully balanced and working race.

Two contests of this kind were held.

Techtree Contest #1's aim was to create a fully functional techtree using only material from the wcIII mpq.

Techtree Contest #2 aimed in creating two races, this time using triggers and custom content, yet having to keep a map size limit.

Both contests used a template map. Only the first one was successful.

Well what's the problem? Lets do it again? Or there is a rule for not repeting contests?

A good idea would be make a new race from either creeps or any other random race. Not like changing orc to fel orc but making like gnoll race or goblin race with techtree and no bugs.

I believe the reason only the first one was succesful was because anyone could enter, not only those who know how to do triggered spells. Of course you can enter without it but its a lot more interesting with the triggers.

You mean like a techtree contest? We had one of those once... I didn't have time to join in but it sounds fun, I would do it.

I think we should do it like the first one, only use stuff that Blizzard gives us and no triggered spells (but you can edit them in the object editor). That way we wouldn't just see the advanced jass coders getting first place.

Kind of. Thanks for putting it in similar terms. Rules are like

Use Melee Map (Make Custom Units for Race)
No Fel Orc Race, Naga Race, Blood Elf Race or any other campaign races.
Attempt to make upgrades for the custom race.
Attempt to make hero training work (Not able to train more then 3 hero)
Attempt to get a way to train custom race without placing units on map and setting fix start location
And Most Importantly......
HAVE FUN!!!

And everyone will probally go for the dragon race made by General Frank.

Im not. I mean be creative and not ripping off other people's ideas! I going to make corrupted race. Satyr, Dark Troll, Centaur ect...

Even though I don't want to enter the contest, but I already had a whole demonic race (without custom models) somewhere..

I want a new techtree contest but mostly like the first one. No imports, no triggers, but with the ability to change the (dont remember the name but you can change maximum hero level in here and other things.

To change max hero level you use advanced, gameplay (either interface or other), choose max hero level (lots of options), and change it. *must choose custom data!

I already made a demon race as well. Like red gargoyles with chaos damage and doom guards in place of abominations ect....
