RED-BARONs race:
I like it, but you REALLY should fix the converter bug, it makes things way too slow, imo... The race itself is nicely built, and the jump from weakness to strength is just another thing that makes this many sided race uniqe!

But honestly, make some heroes with something more then "Goldfiner" ;D

The hero has more ability's then just goldfinger...

converter bug? You mean the transform lyumber to gold? It works now, in the uploaded map.

Some may notice some hidden references.

COuld any one suggest balance fixes needed? As the race is meant to be multitactic, which makes balancing hard.

I think ill make some kind of forest race

I think i might join if i ever have extra time.

Murloc race ftw

RED_BARON, there are only 4 units that attack in your race. and the shooting guys are way to strong, also you can cast the heros ult on heros, kinda cheap, and the infernals are REALLY buff and easy to make. (when i played i made like 6 in 2 minutes and destroyed all the three teams by my self and just used the gunners to destroy the town and airunits.) the races was pretty amusing however, but easy to use.

Ah another doing a murloc race will be intresting to see . I have been lazy the last 2 days but have been doing pretty much today 75% done

Then here's some info about my race...

After the third war the minor races of Azeroth decided that they should be able to defend themselves and not run to a big race for help as soon danger comes. So they formed an alliance named Any suggestions??. Also the goblins have shown interest in the alliance and given them technolgy in order to be able to fight the other races.

I'm sorry if there are any grammar mistakes!!

Alright my adoring fans, I am not dead. It is my computer that had died, but fear not! I am back! And I will work to prove you all why you should be afraid of spiders.

Seriously I am back because my computer crapped out on me, so I have to catch back up on this contest. Didnt really do any work on it, although I did make a cool model! Not that it means anything significant... but it is cool. So yeah, I will be getting back to work soon.

You're goin downnn!!!!!

lol j/k good luck to the both of us dude may the best man win the murloc thing

i will make legion race.

Another? Oh well... ^^

Any one got any name for a race with ogres, trolls, goblins, gnolls and some more creeps?

Creep Rebellion

Nah, doesnt sound right. I mean they are breaking lose and fighting the other races for territory but it still doesnt sound right

It was a joke. Creep Rebellion is actually a mod with a balanced 5th creep race in it. If you used it it would be plagiarism ^^

Creeps let Loose

Jeepers Creepers :-D

"Creeps let Loose" is more like a sentence rather than a fraction name...

The Creep Alliance?

well, i'm making a techtree based on barrens creatures, i'll call em desert raiders, or something like that

Alright... lets see here. I think I am gonna get creative with my towers. They were very hard to get a good idea for, so here is what I got. They are Spike traps, and are invisible. They have a spell called spikes, which is like immolation, that they can use when enemies are attacking that makes them visible, but of course now the enemies take damage. One problem, when you have immolation on, you stay visible right? Of course, these would be spike traps made by the arachnathids, which will add a ton of complications seeing as they are teir two...

Meh the spiders should be able to hold down the fort until tier two.

Theres something strange with my map that causes fatal errors sometimes or it was just my unluckiness I don't know if I get caught by these bugs more then I'll have to continue from my WIP that I posted here.

It was another joke. Creeps let Loose is an old campaign in which you play with a creep race which stands against the other 4 races

I thought i had heard that name before and about that campaign Creeps let loose, I have played it to. Oh well, ill figure something out

Ah yes I now remember that campaign ^^

LOL! I just created an imba hero called the Stalker with the a modified blackarrow ability a and a 75 lifestealing aura (only for himself) its his lvl 6spell.
He took an army of like 10footman 2 rifleman and a lvl 2 bloodmage by himself on lvl 6. Ill have to nerf him.

Well, I thought of a way to stop the Tide's overpower, though Ill have to recunstruct the techtree cause of this ... anyways, everyone of your ground units exept fro the necromancers and carrion carriers are constantly getting damaged, unless they stay close to your cantral building, OR a Fragment Carrier, that will be an upgrade for the Carrion Carrier. This way, an enemy can quickly destroy a whole Tide army by taking out the Fragment Carriers, and allowing the units to simply fall apart after a while...

Ps: Updated techtree coming soon!

I think I'll make edits of one more race when I'm done with mines and will send it here.

How do you access the new races from the maps anyway?

It's usually a replacement to 4 existing races but if you want to make totally new races w/o any replacement I think you will need triggering.

Lol! i have this bug that if i have used Infested bite (close combat black arrows) and i deactivate it units still spawn from units the hero kills :S. And then i meen all units in the game like if i kill a footman with Infested bite then i deactivate it ... all other units i kill during the game (with the hero) will spawn units when they die even though the ability is deactivated. Does anyone have any idea how to fix? Otherwise ill just let it be like that and nerf the units that get spawned.

Well i decided to make a bandit/merc race has no base defense and has weak resource gathering makes up because it can pillage towns and has perm invis on units to snek into bases and get money.

Its very annoying I mean think a little only humans got true sight on their defense which makes other races so vulnerable to your attacks... Also dust of appearance wouldn't work anyway because of limited charges and cost of it also your guys can run back and strike them again anyway.

mine will be poor gathering gold, but the base mele fighter will be very cheap and has pillage without research, buildings will be very cheap, and you will mostly need gold for the elite units

UD has shades, NE has sentinal, and Orc have sentry wards.

Yeah i think it would be interesting with a stealthy sneaking money stealing race!!

Undead has shades only at tier2 => useless
NE sentinel needs research and only some one charge ( or 3 i don't quite remember it ) => can be useful
Sentry Wards are as the same as undead, needs tier 2 => useless
What we get is only NE can be the counter for them And others will fall fast

I'm in.

I will not reveal anything yet, but my idea is very unusual

Edit: I am not sure about the rules:
1: Do i have to make the town hall by editing an existing town hall? Can i make the race entirely custom.. No editing only coppying?

2: Can i edit gameplay constants?

3: Can i edit game interface?

Answer quick plz :-|

I'm doing a purely human race, without elves, dwarves, or gnomes.

That would also I do, if import and some other stuff be allowed.

you can only get the magic Sentry abil for human at tier2 => useless also.

MR- FJ, please read the rules:
1: yes, you can do only copying... but that makes testing it harder imo...
2: It is said that gameplay constants are NOT allowed to be changed
3: This isnt included in hte ruels, so I say you're all-go until the rules have been modified

Oh yeah :roll:. Anyway but you got the point right? That race would be so unbalanced.

Thx alot. I will just ask one more thing: Does any of you know, is there any way to edit the size of attachments? (Using an ability.) and maybe the rotation?

I am not sure but i think you need triggers or something for doing that...

>< my bad...


Anyways, Here's the edited techtree, and the changes in my race are:
- The undead soldiers of the tide now fall apart unless they are close enough to a Core, or a Fragment Carrier.
- Necropolic Avius cant summon Avians.
- Carrion Carrier can be upgraded into a Fragment Carrier, allowing nearby undead to stay alive.
- The itemshop has been added, but without any new items yet...

Thats basicly all...

Cool!

I'm doing the Techs now. Any comments on my map?

Heres the finished map of my entry ( I may add more but if nothing else is uploaded after this one then this one is my entry ). Changes are:
- Two new heroes, one is Stalker to demons and other is Ancient Sea Giant to tavern.
- Fixed some icon place bugs.
- Now you get 4 workers instead of 3 ( I noticed that warrior at start was annoying if it has been sent to rush )
- Cleaving Attack now needs an upgrade to be used. I always care any comment so feel free to post any comments or bugs !
