Techtree Contest #2 - Altered Melee

[Pyritie]

Mechmap, that sounds a LOT like RotD.

 

[Mechmap]

Darkys campaign, yeah it does, though his soldiers was born in barracks. My spider queen can move around the battlefield and lay eggs there, though she cant attack. I think I will credit him anyway since it's much like it.

What happend to darky anyway?

 

[Elven_God]

My second race will be: Necromancer. They will use a gold mine... not to do gold but for corpses! Each 20 gold a corpse will go near the crypt. They will use wood for the rest: Building, upgrade, necromancers and heroes. Necromancers will summon all the troops from corpses, some summons are there for an illimited time and other for a duration. Only summoned troops and heroes can attack (the necromancers can't attack but they summons troops).

An example of what that will do:

• Goldcorpse
  • Event
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players matching ((Race of (Matching player)) Equal to*Undead)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked player) actual Gold) Higher or Equal to 20
              • Then - Actions
                • Player - Add -20 to (Picked player) actual Gold
                • Unit - Create a Goule corpse for (Picked player) at (((Picked player) start location) offset by 400.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

(Scuse me if some of the trigger have french, I have the French version of Wc3)

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

I guesse im in. Im busy, but I wanna enter so ill put other things off...

Do the races have to be balanced with normal races (orc,undead,nightelf..) or just balanced between the two we made?

I think just between the two race we made

 

[EmBeR_NaGa]

Now am gonna get back to work for the Contest entry because slacked off and never worked on it for almost a week.

But hey am almost done so no I shouldn't complain . First Race:

Nagiranana

Description: A darker and sorta weaker but alittle stronger version of the Naga race. These creatures were created by the Naga as well, they are the most mysterious people and excel greatly in Agility and Intelligence. However, most of their power will come upon at night! Be prepared, for nothing can stop these creatures at night for they will hunt you all down!!!!! AAAHHH!?!?!?

This race is based off: Orc.

This race consists of: Strength, Agility, and Intelligence Heroes. Basically most of the units have Shadowmeld and Wind Walk (RH). And sorta fast resource gathering.

How they are balanced: The Nagiranana are balanced because

1. They are weak.
2. They may have most of their powers at Night.
3. They mostly care about intelligence so their strength is low.

What makes them different from other races: The Nagiranana because ...

1. They can easily die but however they are most powerful at night times.
2. They gather resources very differently.
3. They have alot of abilities which make them a great series of Naga to use.
4. The race consists of Wind Walk and Shadowmeld.
5. It can be alittle hard to control the race from the other races because its best to use them efficiently at night.

Second Race: This race I'll be using in my Current Campaign. . This will be my most creative race I'll be using for the contest.

Ligaigniters

Description: Ligaigniters are demonic infernal fiery creatures that concentrate and believe in their gods. Some believe these creatures were created by Tiki-like creatures called the "Yggdrasumians". Yggdrasumians means "Lifely ten" because they only lived for 10 years and depended on the fire gods. Ligaigniters believe only in fire and will do anything to find their gods for power and divinity. These creatures excel greatly in strength.

This race is based off: Either Human or Nightelf am still deciding.

This race consists of: Strength and Agility heroes. Basically most of the units have Fire Initiate (New ability). They have slow miners but they are a very powerful race.

How they are balanced: The Ligaigniters are balanced because ...

1. They are powerful but slow in attack.
2. They are great in defense also.
3. With slow attack speed it can probably die easily.
4. They have slow-speed miners but collect alot of gold.

What makes them different from other races: Being the only race that are slowly still developing they are powerful otherwise. They have slow miners but collect a rather large amount of gold (25). It is sorta an easy and hard race basically middle-like difficulty for using this race.

Well yeah am about 75% finished ^^. Good luck other contestants! . I will change it around and make it more balanced later but right now it feels great to be almost done. Cuz it gives me more time to finish my other projects ... like my campaign.

 

[Em!]

[Elenai]

hmmz..

I was planning on making a crystal elf race...

I call Celestial Elves. And their counterpart race Abyssal Elves: (names soon to change)

 

[Aschy]

is the townhall limited to 3 teirs or can we create more if it keeps it balanced?

 

[Elven_God]

is the townhall limited to 3 teirs or can we create more if it keeps it balanced?

I think you can:

You can engineer your races however you want. However, remember the judging criteria.

Wolverabid said that so i think yes. If you are not sure ask to him

 

[Mechmap]

I just found out that only the crypt fiends got burrow animation! This will greatly reduce the quality of my stealth fiends. (Lazy Blizzard! )

 

[matyko]

Crypt Fiends, AND anarchids!

Not that it will help you much ><

 

[Mechmap]

Nope, only if I include arachnids in the race. Maybe I will...

 

[Elven_God]

Nope, only if I include arachnids in the race. Maybe I will...

Do it, its a good idea to "combine" two races like me: Crystal Elves, i have do some dark elves with them... and you can do like the arachnid are slaves or something like that.

Blizzard do that to: Human have elf and dwarves...

 

[Em!]

So your making Dark elves, good for you......copycat!!

Nah i don´t really mind though.

 

[Wolverabid]

Works In Progress

Do the races have to be balanced with normal races (orc,undead,nightelf..) or just balanced between the two we made?

The best techtrees will balance with BOTH each of your custom races AND each default Warcraft III race.

Remember guys, the template map is a four player scenario. If you include one or two uber-powerful races and some cat joins your game then gets stuck with Orcs or Humans, they're going to get spanked.
So, overall ballance is critical.

Cristal Elves:

Nagiranana
Ligaigniters

Excellent concepts and outlines. Keep up the good work everyone!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I have started working on my races.The 1st one I am going to create are called ''Boars''.

They have fast workers but with more gold needed.They have powerful melee units,but they have only 1 air unit and no unit to do Siege damage to towers.I think they are balanced good enough.

The second one might be the ''Ancients''.I will more for the 2nd race.

 

[Elven_God]

So your making Dark elves, good for you......copycat!!

Nah i don´t really mind though.

I dont copy you, I have got this idea to include Dark elves with my Cristal Elves not to do a second race, my second race is: NECROMANCERS

Here is my first race (almost finish, only 2 units and 1 hero).

You see i don't want to copy you: just 3 units and one hero with dark elves.

So, overall ballance is critical.

K, i will try to balance my races... (the crystal hero were a little bit strong).

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

One question please answer:

-We shall make heroes too?

 

[Wolverabid]

One question please answer:

-We shall make heroes too?

Of course. Heroes are an integral part of any Warcraft III race. Engineer your heroes to balance with each other, opposing custom heroes in your other race and with default Warcraft III characters.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Oh,it's ok.I turned the Boars race to Nature,so I could have all sorts of things in there.Ok I am working on this,hope I win!

There will be a baisic melee unit, wich will be the bulk of the army.
Then, there will be over 4 differnt kinds of tanks. Each can hold 8 baisic melee units. The tanks have 8 cannons in them, of differnt kinds. You need to load one melee unit in to make them fire slowly, then another to do it faster, untill there is as many units as cannon's. By then it will shoot pretty fast. Also, each tank has a differnt aura to boost the baisic melee units.

 

[Z-Man]

my first race will be Cursed Gladiators second coming later

 

[inverted]

So... for example if we choose human and orc we edit those and turn them for example into a naga race? And is it judged on gameplay or just the techtree alone.

 

[inverted]

I'm in my first contest

 

[Wolverabid]

So... for example if we choose human and orc we edit those and turn them for example into a naga race? And is it judged on gameplay or just the techtree alone.

Yes, one can edit existing races or create entirely new ones by copying units and pasting them as custom units. See previous examples in: Techtree Contest

In my opinion, judges and voters alike should evaluate the submissions based on:

Contest Judging And Voting

• Jugding Criteria:
  • Are the race techtrees original and well thought-out?
  • How balanced are the two races?
  • How balanced is the map itself?
  • If spells are included, how balanced, effective and efficient are they?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Do we get minus points if we make no spells at all?


My Nature is race is coming alone nice,expect it soon.

 

[Elven_God]

Do we get minus points if we make no spells at all?

I think but its your choice, if u make a hero with just existan spell and the spells are balanced it will be good... But i say to you make spell, its better than no custom spell.

 

[inverted]

Thanks wolv for clearing that up

 

[Mechmap]

My stealth fiend race is going straight to the garbage can!

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Does anyone think my idea is worth finishing? I cant seem to get myself to work on it, and I found out I couldnt make the rebel side have 8 cannons in a tank, only 4, and I couldnt set how much It made it shoot faster... And the first side doesnt seem to be that entertaining... Do you think I should bother finish it?

Its your choice... but me to I have abandon my idea for Necro race (that do a critical error...) and don't forget that your races have to be balanced with all the other races.

 

[Mechmap]

This sux, I'm idealess. Only thing I can think of is Void Elves, but so many are already doing elves...

 

[Elven_God]

This sux, I'm idealess. Only thing I can think of is Void Elves, but so many are already doing elves...

Me to... i dont have idea for waht to do for the necromancer. I have finish my Crystal Elves but i don't start my 2nd (Necro)

 

[Wolverabid]

No need to despair, Arena Gladiators! Ideas are a dime a dozen, making them come to life by engineering a race to develop them is another story.

I'm waiting to see a race no one's brought to life yet, like Aliens, Critters, or U.S. Marines.
(... also surprised that someone hasn't decided upon Anime/DBZ/Naruto, meh...)

 

[Elenai]

(... also surprised that someone hasn't decided upon Anime/DBZ/Naruto, meh...)

BLASPHEMY!

Anyways, on the elf subject, I am trying to create quite an original elf race...a race of light, with a dark core. (idea copyrighted by Elenai the Epic)

 

[Shizsnok]

Looks fun I might enter,

Enduradai
Zakurians

Count on those races.

 

[Mechmap]

Ok, since I got no other idea I will try to create Void Elves, though not only them will be used. I will try to not import anything. And since I unfortuantly miss much trigger knowledge for spells, well, I will create 2 races and complete them either way. Will think up a story for them soon...

Edit: Heres the story:

Everywhere around there is the Void, the emptiness that fills us all. Fills us with no despair nor happiness, no hunger nor hatred. The Void is uncontrollable, It is nothing and it is everything... Those that have tried is now empty shell... Elves were always interested in dark magic and it was that that became their downfall... The Void came, filled them up with it's emptiness and left behind empty shells for the wind to blow away. The Void swallowed many races in the old days, youth and old, it didn't matter. The emptiness that The Void leaves behind is it's own, desperatly trying to make it dissapear. Some elves began to worship the Void and it heared their call, it called for him, draw him to them. But instead of devouring them, he gave them his power to be able to end his emptiness, to seek a cure for it. The emptiness will slowly devour the elves from within but their leaders, the 3 sisters, have mastered the emptiness. Allowing it to feed of them, making them able ignore pain, fear even death they can ignore, ignore... but not escape!

 

[Kamikazzee]

I'll join this mad competition. It tends to be a little tricky though. I'll try to pull through and not end up in last place, however.

 

[Mechmap]

I think I am out for 2 reasons:

1: Don't have enough trigger knowledge to make good spells.
2: Can't figure out the second race.
3: Trying to focus on my campaign also.

 

[Z-Man]

im out of this contest

 

[TheSecretArts]

lol, Ironic that a week ago, I started work on Northshire Clerics and Shadow Council Techtrees... guess I gotta polish them up.

Can we have only one tier?

Description of the races:
It is the months before the first war. The orcs have just set foot into the kingdom of Azeroth. They raise mighty cities. In the shadows of the orcs, The Shadow Council, raises power necromancers and masters of shadow. The stormwind humans, and their allies the Northshire Clerics work feverishly to fend off these brutal savages. The Northshire Clerics were taught in all things holy, and with the tome of divinity, lead a crusade against the orcs and their warlock mastery.

 

[Kamikazzee]

I'm out of this contest. Not enough time on my hands.

 

[Wolverabid]

Wow guys, that's disappointing.

At any rate, it's only going to require one valid submission for someone to take the prize by default.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yeah,that's bad,I don't have much time to finish my own so it is going to be left alone..

 

[Mechmap]

Well, I guess I'm in again since I accidently deleted the first chapter of my campaign and it was turning out great! I hate you have to save that you added the map to the campaign editor before deleting it! I lost inpiration so I am going to do a fast techtree to get it back.

 

[~Void~]

The Void came

Sorry I'm late :\
