hi all!
first off, about me, one important fact - i love water and swimming
2 years ago, in one summer, i sat out and created a custom map with the human player playing the naga race (just like in campaign)
when i created it, i used the Night Elf race to modify it.
i respected all standards, no overpowered units, heroes, structures or such !!!
so it wasnt a cheat map!
sadly, i lost the map with the HDD that died some months after.
however, i want to create again the playable naga race, except this time, i did not want to ,,parasite" one of the playable races!
in other words, this time, i want to make it as a 5th playable race, different and separate from the other 4 races!
ofc, STANDARD ....not some OP cheat race, obviously!
on google,i found a page with what i thought was a tutorial (but sadly, it was just a few lines of text and nothing more...), which said there are 3 methods to make a custom race in w3:
i) use one of the existing ones
ii) duplicate one of the existing ones and use existing campaign units to make it - this requires a selection method to allow the user to choose the custom race
iii) make it from scratch, totally separate and different - this also requires a selection method to allow the user to choose the custom race
i want to do step ii) - duplicate an existing race, and use the existing Naga buildings and units to model it
i allready did this once, 2 years ago and it was working out beautifully - this time, i want it as a separate and selectable 5th race
i would gladly pay real $$$ if a proven tutorial could aid me to add the 5th race --- just on exactly HOW to add a 5th selectable race (and NOT on how to do the units, structures and heroes..i allready know how to work those)
thanks
