[Strategy / Risk] War of the Clans

[Strydhaizer]

Am i too resourceful?

 

[Heinvers]

Yes, always

 

[Argos]

I thought the waterfall should be at the mountain not so for away in Stormlands and maybe kinda higher, more like multiple waterfalls. Also I'm quite confused where Kor'gal Overgrowth will be.

 

[Strydhaizer]

thought the waterfall should be at the mountain not so for away in Stormlands

Note that i havent started the mountains yet :>

maybe kinda higher

We might exceed in the camera's height that is why the waterfall is just small.
I'll try to raise it later :>

more like multiple waterfalls.

Yes.

 

[Argos]

You havent started the Mountain yet? I thought it already exists in "simple" early version. And that Kor'gal Overgrowth will be where?


Btw HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!

 

[Strydhaizer]

You havent started the Mountain yet?

You mad? :<

I thought it already exists in "simple" early version

Uhm , it is just the "Mountains" Clan base , it is not the mountains yet.

 

[Argos]

Okaaay, Mountain Clan resides specifically at the highest peak of the Mountain. Surrounding lands are called Highlands, but the Mountain is dominanting in size and hight. Aaand Kor'gal Overgrowth?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Aaand Kor'gal Overgrowth?

Uhmmm.... :>

Okaaay fine , im going to do your terrain tomorrow (i'm free until january 7) , im going to use my whole day making your terrain.

Meanwhile , i made some improvements on the waterfall part.

 

[Argos]

Oh man, im not trying to force you. Im just asking where would you place Kor'gal Overgrowth since you moved the Kor river so far to the west. Have you seen pic with overview, I posted?

Did i say something wrong?

 

[rokomales]

Logo is Awesome.
Who made it?

 

[Argos]

Logo is Awesome.
Who made it?

Thank you

All credits to AL0NE, he is very talented. You can find his profile in our team list.

 

[kakuzu]

Beta is coming soon , guys ?

 

[Argos]

Heh, i wouldn't say "soon". We're trying to make art here. If we hurry to much, it won't be worth it.

And by the way, our team was expanded with a new member. His name is Death Adder and he is a great guy. He will be overseeing our project from his role of Coder. We already started working on a few things, for example brand new building system or AI controler for leavers/empty slots/neutrals. I will keep you updated on the progress. Also as i mentioned before The Bestiary is coming soon and Stryderzero posts exquisite terrain updates. Stay tuned for more

 

[kakuzu]

Great Argos , your project is growing more and more. Awesome !

 

[Heinvers]

You know, it would be great to see some ash lands around too, some kind of rugged volcano type area just for the sakes of having deadly areas around.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Did i say something wrong?

No.

If we hurry to much, it won't be worth it.

Good , i have more time on April

Awh anyway , here's a preview of a very small progress on the swamp , it took me 1 hour doing that , lol. What do you think? Cant put green sunken tiles coz the tiles dont fit on the color of the environment.

The base will be at the middle of the swamp , ill put more details later or "soon" .

I think i've uploaded a wrong image.
I'll re-update. Please wait

ash lands

Oooh , Volcanoes , i like that
Im going to place that volcano in the northern part of the mountains. It may take time to experiment since i havent done volcanoes before.

---
Swampy :3
I want to swim in the mud with Heinvers.


---
Sorry if i cant crop photos , i dont have paint or any image editing programs co'z i recently formatted my pc.

 

[Argos]

I would prefer Ashlands near Dreadfire clan rather than already full Highlands. We need space for Gor Giants Lairs and Wyvern nests there. Since you swapped possitions of waterfalls. Here is new changed map overview. It's fully open to suggestions and we still have many empty areas. I thought for example about 2 waterfall regions Upper Kor Falls and Lower Kor Falls. Upper would be in Mountain/Highlands from where Kor river will continue to flow trough Kor'gal Overgrowth into Lower Kor Falls.



Btw that swamp looks gorgeous. Stryderzero you never stop to amaze me. Good job and @Heinvers, enjoy D

 

[Strydhaizer]

Swamp and the Direfury's Base :3







And New Terrain Screenshot for the First Page.


^_^

Stryderzero

Just call me Stryder

 

[Argos]

Pretty cool, but kinda miss trees and green stuff. I imagined it as half jungle.

It's amazing though

Btw what's the map size right now? Recently we were calculating how much models and triggers can we import.

 

[7oda]

Hi, I have been watching this thread from it's beginning and I think you sir are really awesome terrainer, All this screenshots are awesome

 

[Heinvers]

Btw that swamp looks gorgeous. Stryderzero you never stop to amaze me. Good job and @Heinvers, enjoy D

Oh that's good, keep up the good work guys

Edit:

*glances at the members list*

Dead Adder is in the team?

*gasps* , just kidding.

 

[Argos]

Yeah did you read my previous comments? I mentioned him there.

He's a nice guy, he managed to almost fix all lags and other annoying issues. Also he works on new systems for War of the Clans. Without his help we would be still stuck at those lags. Thanks for noticing him in team though

 

[Heinvers]

Yeah did you read my previous comments? I mentioned him there.

I just noticed now? ;__;
Yeah he's nice.


*feels ashamed*

 

[Argos]

Guys, another brave soul has joined our project on a position of Modeler. Please welcome PROXY!

 

[Heinvers]

much awesome
such members

I'm serious now

 

[Chaosy]

The rooster seems to get rather large

 

[kakuzu]

This project will become a large scale project very soon

 

[Argos]

Indeed, prepare guys for the infusion of awesomeness soon. The Bestiary is coming...

 

[Sylvie]

The Bestiary is coming...

you're talking about this since 12-22...

XD

 

[Argos]

you're talking about this since 12-22...

XD

Lol, just tried to boost some morale

Honestly, it's almost done, just few final changes and pictures of new models. It's like: "Winter is Coming" for those who watch Game of Thrones/read the books.

We're the watchers on the wall.

 

[Argos]

hidden tags plz.

 

[MogulKahn]

First, please change Healer's name... Second I am really surprised whit a lack of spellcaster diversity. I mean only one clan has unique casters? And you know, there is no need to have all orc units, you can use more beasts, and even "allies". And there is no need to have all clans whit 3 casters. Some of them, some clans based around close combat, should have 2, and some clans based around magic, maybe even 4.
Bloodbane clan is good, your "normal" orc clan.
Stormfell, I kind of expected to see some "stormy" things, like maybe some storm elementals, or storm related beasts or even dragons, and of course some unique casters, I thoughts they are the strongest clan in magic.
Direfury, disappointed whit a lack of desert beasts, like some scorpions, genies or snakes, maybe even some demons !
Skullcrush, hmmm, I imagined them as bloodthirsty clan, savage warriors, something like Shattered Hand clan in WoW, and they are full of beasts...
Gar'tuk, here I was thinking about mercenaries, payed ogres, centaurs, maybe even taurens, something like that.
Dreadfire clan, only clan whit unique casters. I hope they are based around necromancery or something like corrupted, shadow, darkness... Honestly, they should be "skeleton clan". Skeleton grunt, rider, archer, etc. whit some alive orc casters who revived them.
Kor'gal, my favorite clan, and here I expected those beasts from Skullcrush clan. And even more beasts. They should be focused around beasts if you ask me.
Mountain clan, not bad, some giant mountain beasts are great, but they need special orc unit, something in style of Dire Trolls from WoW !

And in the end, I still want to see one of these clans changed into red (fel) orcs. I think, you are going to miss great opportunity. Maybe demon worshiping clan, who got "blessed" by those demon, and because of that they skin got changed into red. Something like that, I think you know what I am talking about...

I hope I helped you, at least these are my thoughts, and keep up whit this great map, I hope you are going to finish it !

EDIT: Now I saw this: "...each should have atleast 2-3 unique units depending on their location and origins." =(

 

[Argos]

I kinda put that list together really fast, just to show you how I meant it to be. I agree that those "beast" units and other special stuff seems to be missing, but that is the reason why I asked for your ideas in the first place.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts though

 

[MogulKahn]

What models are you going to use for units? Especially for heroes?

 

[Argos]

It depends. We might change many heroes to fit the storyline, but it shouldn't be a big deal. Do you want me to post a screenshot with current models?

 

[MogulKahn]

If you can !

 

[Argos]

Alright i uploaded all alpha model images to each hero. There are some duplicates as you could have noticed and some models don't really fit their class, but in present time it is not a big problem since many will be revamped.

 

[MogulKahn]

You can find some really nice Orc models, in that Heart of Storm mod !

 

[Argos]

Sure, but models are not that big problem at the moment. We need ideas, mainly for units and techtrees as i mentioned above.

Chimera made by PROXY

One of the beasts included in Beastiary

 

[Mechanical Man]

I give you one idea if you may like it, it's really fitting for the orcs http://www.spelcros.estranky.cz/fotoalbum/jednotky-other-side/sipomety.jpg.html

 

[Argos]

Thanks for tip, though i prefer something more original. Are you czech btw?

 

[Mechanical Man]

No, the game is slovakian, but translated into czech, polish and english, I played it like 15 years ago. It has some interesting units, especially on the dark side, however not all are displayed on that page

 

[Argos]

Anyone got any other suggestions for units?

 

[Sylvie]

There isn't enough units for each clan?

 

[Argos]

I mean some unique ideas. Each Clan should have some completely unique troops.
