Lore
"Quilboar are a race of boar-like humanoids native to the continent of Kalimdor and Kul Tiras.
They have long since battled for the rights of their lands against the orcs since their immigration from the Eastern Kingdoms.
Many people simply call them "boar-men" or "pig-men".
Quilboar are primitive, resilient, fearless creatures who inhabit the central Barrens of Kalimdor in the labyrinthine maze of thorns called Razorfen Downs.
After the War of the Ancients and the subsequent Sundering of the world, the quilboars' surroundings became increasingly hostile.
Forced to fight for food and precious land against both tauren and centaur, they developed into aggressive and efficient warriors.
Though well able to handle themselves in a one-on-one battle, they are not above striking from ambush or even sacrificing themselves
to destroy even one of their many enemies."
Source: Quilboar
Race Philosophy
Pros
Cons

Their connections to the Demi-god Agamaggan, Scourge, and the constant fights in the Barren Lands was my reference in designing this race.

I really want to display them as a highly versatile race, and highlight their resiliency that have allowed them to survive against various enemies.

The name "The Quilboar Tribes" implies the cooperation between the various tribes (Razorfen, Razormane, Bristleback, etc.) and even the ones outside the Barrens.

My headcanon is that Quilboars around Azeroth have decided to band together as they see it as the only way for them to survive the always hostile world.

  • Versatility
  • Strong Summons
  • Sustainability and Edurance
  • Limited and Fragile air units
  • Weak Siege unit
  • Micromanagement dependent
  • Lacks Direct or Reliable source of healing

Greetings Champions of Azeroth, this is Althavis.

It was 4 years ago I have uploaded the map, and since then many things have changed (and many more will change).

Now, I'm updating this map once again with a lot of changes (I don't know if they are for the better).

Why aren't the bats selectable like the other neutral passive units (critters)? Avatar of Agamaggan is not mentioned in the altar's description. I find it a bit forced that you need an upgrade to make the boars you summon from an item more powerful...

"Hey nice map, imba AF"

Just played it with a friend. T'was fun to mess around. Though while they're weak early game, they can tech up to same insanely overpowered crap! They get quite strong, it's insane. I like the aesthetic of the race itself (And that Force of Nature effect when units get trained, nice touch, I admit). Although I do suggest that you replace the default abilities already used by the default WC3 races (like the Cyclone and Faerie Fire from the Harpies) with a custom ability.

Also, the AI needs improvements. One of the AI (The Bristleback Tribe if I recall) simply made Tier 1 units, and it made it quite easy for me to storm through them with an upgraded army of 10.

Other than that. Very neat. Custom races are always okay in my book!

Thank you for the kind review, I'll take note. I will improve the AI's behavior and abilities.

The Custom Race was actually pretty good and as winter said they are way too imbalance late game, so i made a list of every unit
1-Draftee: tbh i dont see myself using this unit late game, it has low hp , low damage and the upgrade dosent even matter because he deals such a low damage, i would rather have hp boost upgrade
2-Quillboar Hunter: pretty good and can be used late game to stun heroes
3-Quillboar Aggressor: a good unit for teir 3 even tho that axe deals pretty damn much for a normal unit maybe make it 100 instead of 200?
4-Quillboar Geomancer: starts with 190 hp :p??, and them not getting any mana is intentional? because they have like 1 mana regen per 3 sec
5-Harpy Witch: as winter said the first ability should be replaced since night elf already have it, and the curse shackle is pretty op i mean they cost 2 food, you can easily mass them and stunlock all the enemy army, not to mention the 50% evasion
6-Thorn Weaver: after you upgrade them to master training they only have 240 hp for 4 food? i dont see myself using them even with the op abilitis
7-Hog Raider: Pretty decent siege unit even tho leaping ability on a unit dosent make a whole let of sense
8-Harpy Dance: i rather change cyclone since druid of the talon already have it but if you combine harpy dancer's cyclone with the witch's shackles you can stunlock all heroes with shackles and their units with cyclone
9-Druid of The Tusk : distruption is pretty damn op i would rather have it deal damage to summoned unit not instant kill them and their boar form, CHAOS DAMAGE ? we all know there is no chaos damage on any race :p maybe make it upgradble and change it to pierce, summon tusk spirit is pretty broken xD if u get 8 druids you can make an army out of nothing, ya they can be dispelled but 4 is way too much, melt on a boar? i better not ask
10-Briarback Prophet: ok here where the imbalance begins silence for 30 SECONDS ? even lvl 3 darkranger's silence is only 24 and this is a normal unit that can be massed , it have chaos damage which is broken, and he have mana version of death and decay xD i think he should cost at least 6 food and not 3
11-Razormane Speaker: Broken tbh more op than the mountain giant since he have buffed version of hardend skin and he cost 2 food less also he have that orb ability

Thank you for the review,

I have increase some units hp and have decrease the hp added by the Hide upgrade. I have increase the damage and hp for Draftees. At the earlier i have 100 damage for Aggressor i will change it back. Tier 3 units are op especially Razormane Speaker (Most Tower deal only less than 5 i think).

I have made some changes and will modify some like you said. This 2 reviews helped me. thank you.

  1. Why aren't the bats selectable like the other neutral passive units (critters)?
  2. Avatar of Agamaggan is not mentioned in the altar's description.
  3. I find it a bit forced that you need an upgrade to make the boars you summon from an item more powerful.
  4. Briar Touch and Coverage of Briar have the same icon.
  5. Bloodshard Orb's description doesn't mention what damage it does.
  6. Too many Thorn based abilities.
  7. I think Boar Catapult should also deal some damage upon impact since it only stuns for 1 second and it takes quite a while for the projectile to hit the area.
  8. Flying heroes are totally imbalanced. The ability should only last a couple of seconds, max 10 or so.
  9. Essentially Green Fury is like the Avatar hero's AoE spell.
  10. Blink+Invisibility? Imbalanced. The unit casting Invisibility is an enemy as the hero icon flashes like being attacked.
  11. Rapid Slash, also too powerful. You cannot stun/stop the hero from multiple times attacking one target for instance.
  12. Passive abilities shouldn't be first or before active ones unless they're before the ultimate. Exchange Native Bash with Impale Slide.
  13. Impale Slide is just impale+a trigger made Blink.
  14. Try using less AoS type spells as they don't fit in melee or properly edit them so they would not give too much advantages to heroes.

You should differentiate as much from regular Warcraft III spells as possible. Some are basically copies with changed names and icons.
Needs proper balance. Some spells don't require mana and their cooldowns are not that big. Also, the units having those abilities could be quite powerful when many. Proper testing is required.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Alright. This race is interesting in its own right. However, some minor details like the lumber mill merged with the shop are tricky to notice at first sight. This faction is not pretty strong early on (which is okay), but once you can get the orb unit, you pretty much have most of the game under control. Add some druid of the wild with morph and it gets broken, and perhaps the best build tactic for the race. The spellcasters don't really encourage to be spammed like other factions spellcasters. I find harpies uninteresting. The siege unit pales in combat, but that might be me. Overall, an interesting concept, but I find this faction is about grabbing Druid + Orb-caster Quillboar as fast as possible, at least for me. Some number tweaking could really do wonder with this race.

Thank you for the feedback, I also think it's like that. I'm considering nerfing the tier 3 units especially the casters. I still don't even have any idea what to with Druid of Tusk that I even removed this unit once.

Sorry, I misread this post. For the Tusk, I suggest considering the overall design of the faction and what role it should have been fulfilling. An option that can work fast is to nerf the summoning ability of that Druid.

There have been a lot of changes that I don't recall
But

  • tooltips fix (for one tooltip fix, another one appears)
  • Bats now selectable
  • updated the Ai to reflect the changes
  • removed some sounds in regions (Fountain)
  • Thorny Spire now requires only the Quilboar Forge
  • this is to allow the race to set up early game defenses
  • Quilboar Heroes have been slightly modified
  • Berserker Hero now called Bloodrinker
  • Guardians' Rock basically a tavern for heroes from my other maps
  • Added Outlaw from Bloodsail Buccaneers map
  • Added Houndmaster from upcoming Westfall Brigade map
  • removed Razormane Speaker and Briarback Prophet
  • Razormane Speakers' role as a tank is inherited by Aggressors
Druid of the Tusks
  • removed Boar Form
  • designed to be a support-summoner unit
New: Bloodbound
- the unit design was influenced by Hearthstone's Blood Gem and quilboar units

I just realized that since Reforged the trees which was retextured (in the Object Manager)
to Lordaeron Summer Tree only displayed the Barren textures no matter the modifications I make.
So I just imported a Lordaeron tree texture and set its path to overwrite the barren one, which worked.


Thank you.

A bit of feedback.

  • I like the text color on the units and overall color gamma used for text coloring in descriptions/spells really adds more flavor.
  • Overall Unit description and Building description are very well done and explained good enough.
  • Hunch upgrade to Thorny Spine is cool, the damage type though - pierce damage would make a bit more sense instead of magic.
  • The addition of music is nice.
  • Custom mouse cursor also fits the theme.
  • Manager and Bastion upgrades seems too low (20g/30g and 20w/20w).
  • The overall map looks pleasant to the eye - the neutral flying bats too.
  • Noticed that T1 units have each 2 upgrades besides Warbritle, maybe a second shield upgrade would fit such unit. (+40 max hp and +1 armor)

  • The upgrade icons look odd in terms of style difference between each other and have no distinct glow between tiers upgrades - similar to classic upgrades (some have background - some don't - would be nice to make them look more like same race synergy).
  • Add a description in credits that in order to play the map, you should choose Orc with 90% handicap.
  • Blood drinker and Avatar running animation looks odd - play with unit walking/running speed animation to fit it better.
  • Heroes can upgrade skills regardless of level skip requirement
  • Wings on the Blood bound a bit overtuned and unnecessary.
  • Siege Swine Leap is a bit too slow, and too high (especially when using it on far targets)
  • Mango and Briar Weed icons are disorted - could use some alternate icons from hive.
  • Scroll of Boars , rune on the scroll could be replaced with a boar image or something similar to make the icon give an faster understanding of what it is supposed to do.
  • Scroll of Boars and Briar of Saplings use the same cooldown groups.

Good Evening/Morning, thanks for the feedback Aldeia.

EDIT:

  • It's nice to know that you like the map and description design. I always thought it was distracting the gameplay.
  • Your suggestions in regards to Thorny Spire, icons and Warbritle were nice, and I will apply the changes (next update might be after the semester)
  • In regards to icons, if I have time I will browse the section for icons that fits more thematically. Some icons are from Dota 2 and WOW, while some might fit the others stuck like a Mountain Giant (sorry for this joke everyone)
  • I'll check the other things you mentioned 😊

To Be Honest while reading your feedback I was like 'what's a cooldown group?' 😭

Also, I am really confused why I added the wings hehe 'Blood Wings for the Blood Bound'. Siege Swine's Leap was something I was about to remove but they look cool and I keep remembering hog rider from Clash of Clans.


Once again, thank you for the feedback and for playing the map!

  • Hunch upgrade to Thorny Spine is cool, the damage type though - pierce damage would make a bit more sense instead of magic.
  • The addition of music is nice.
  • Custom mouse cursor also fits the theme.
  • Manager and Bastion upgrades seems too low (20g/30g and 20w/20w).
  • The overall map looks pleasant to the eye - the neutral flying bats too.
  • Noticed that T1 units have each 2 upgrades besides Warbritle, maybe a second shield upgrade would fit such unit. (+40 max hp and +1 armor)

  • The upgrade icons look odd in terms of style difference between each other and have no distinct glow between tiers upgrades - similar to classic upgrades (some have background - some don't - would be nice to make them look more like same race synergy).
  • Add a description in credits that in order to play the map, you should choose Orc with 90% handicap.
  • Blood drinker and Avatar running animation looks odd - play with unit walking/running speed animation to fit it better.
  • Heroes can upgrade skills regardless of level skip requirement
  • Wings on the Blood bound a bit overtuned and unnecessary.
  • Siege Swine Leap is a bit too slow, and too high (especially when using it on far targets)
  • Mango and Briar Weed icons are disorted - could use some alternate icons from hive.
  • Scroll of Boars , rune on the scroll could be replaced with a boar image or something similar to make the icon give an faster understanding of what it is supposed to do.
  • Scroll of Boars and Briar of Saplings use the same cooldown groups.
