Throne of Azora: The Beginning - Episode 2

-Tyci Presents-



full


Map Info:

In the kingdom of Azora there lived Ethan Longdarion, a boy whose dream was to join the army and win wars. Shortly after signing up, his dreams are ratified by the true horrors of war. All is not dark however, as Ethan finds a few companions with whom he can share this journey. Their relationship plays a big part in this tale. This map tells a story of a simple soldier and his fellow brothers in arms in a realistic, medieval, fantasy setting.

Ethan Longdarion is now a part of a five-man fellowship, at the service of Prince Agamand. While conflict emerges between its members, the true purpose of this team is yet to be revealed...

A prequel to my previous map Throne of Azora. Do not worry, as it is not at all necessary to play it in order to enjoy and understand Throne of Azora: The Beginning. Nevertheless I still recommend doing such in order to get the full experience :)

Gameplay:

Or the lack of gameplay. I have decided to make it a lengthy cinematic, as it is the best way for me to tell this story. This is now the second episode of the series with three more yet to come.

If it doesn't work, restart Warcraft III and try again. If that doesn't help, make sure you followed the instructions carefully.

The tower could actually look like a tower (big?). There should be dead bodies on the ground after the battle not just skeletons (I think there's an action in the unit section relating to that or you could just use the cinematic's animation speed to 0...

There should be dead bodies on the ground after the battle not just skeletons (I think there's an action in the unit section relating to that or you could just use the cinematic's animation speed to 0 I guess).
Isn't that other red unit a hero (the one with green text)? You could use this to add hero glow to it: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
You should set proper pathways for units. That hero seemed to get off road and into the snow at times.
Fire in the rain :D You could set it off at one point during the conversation.
You could also mention what resources or things are those to which the names are related to (eg: models).

I suggest compiling all of these into a .w3n (campaign file) when the series is finished.

Approved.

I am definitely planning on that, but that is still way down the road. For now you can play the original RPG map (if you haven't already :D ) or just keep giving feedback on the Episodes. It really gives me the motivation to continue making them ^^
