Yea, fishing's quite click heavy on a hero. But, if I make fishing autocast on a hero, then it'd be like: walk by any fishing spot, be forced to fish. So, that's also what fishing boats are for! They autocast when close to a fishing spot, and also use the achievement bonuses.

Now that you said that you are very right on it my bad. I have been playing melee hero's but last night I play a human and got the stats are the sniper gun and it was a melee, I played an elf and he could use it as range why can the elf use range and not the human? Nvm ser I answered the question, I just needed it unequip then reequip it haha sorry about that

What problem is that?

Not so much. Basiphobia however, yes!

Stay out of the mountain range then.
Do you like swimming?

Swimming's alright. I don't go swimming often though.

it wasn't made before?

My only resource for models is the Hive so far. I've found cannons, but they don't look intimidating enough. Those you recommended look interesting. I'll have to try them out in game!

English Live eh? Now I'm curious.

Yes. I specialize in technical and business English for online courses, since my education came with a degree in business English and technical writing.

I'll check out your work in progress later; I have to clear out of the office right now. Catch you later!

Take care!

Yea, I know. But, I prefer the stability of the base world editor. It's more thanks to HerrDave for inspiring me towards that with his models.

Won't be any different from now however understood, good luck.

Thanks! Although, I haven't even started :P

Yea, I know about the town conquering problems, and have made a fix for that in version 1.60. That reputation thing seems to happen randomly, and I am still trying to figure it out. It seems to be from something murdering someone: -50 rep only happens during a murder. I think I'll put an additional check in the murder mechanic to make sure it's bandit AI or a player only.

I listen to some opinions and think: you know, it makes sense. Others, I ignore because it goes against my game design. Like wives, for example. It doesn't quite fit what I'm going for. My plan is to make something fun with a bit of a back story you learn by interacting with the world, either with armies or just heroes. I like variable play, and my main focus is on balance between playstyles (which is why sometimes I go crazy with rapid balance updates). I don't want to make everything completely balanced, however. I prefer balancing things with imbalance. You'll see what I mean when you try out spies. A player who uses a single spy effectively can completely undermine an enemy player.

Yes, i agree. I just mean this opinions what don't fit to your conception.

Once I host NB in Garena, as i see people enjoy your map, some payers also RP'ing own kingdoms. One of them told me what map's template very similar with other project, FoTN, or something like that.

It is inspired off Founders of the North (FotN), yes. That project is discontinued. I just want to make something from scratch with my own ideas.

Almost there. I'm having some barbecue. Happy new year Erindeir!

No problem! And thank you.

Thanks Feru! I'll be cooking up something for this year.

You're welcome, Wark. Just like BossGengar's idea of him getting birthday stuff for him. ^^

No problem, Ragnaros. Like I said, that one map and its setup really stands out. I'd work on improving that one first. I think it'll place well in the contest.

Hmm. I never made regional bonuses for crafted consumables, mostly. The trigger for regional bonuses is a very long, complex string of and/or logic gates with if/then/else statements. It is already very complex, but I could add all consumables to it.

I'll be in Surabaya until Monday. Any thoughts on the direction of my project?

I am curious of the quest system actually, so I want to wait for that to flesh out. If you have extra time to develop or can get a coder, you can add AI to allows solo living people like me to play (though I might be able to get a party once I go back to uni).

Ya, I plan to add AI once I make the bandit techtree. Computer players will just start off that way with their heroes, and act accordingly

Ah right, well there's no way to make that look less artificial, but perhaps an option would be to not allow flying units in dungeons (since it wouldn't make sense anyway).

Back on topic, I'm going to try using the "hero glow" model as a doodad with no tinting, and the dummy units with a shadow. I'll see what does a better job for underground shadowing.
I appreciate the offer for terrain, but I finally sat down and planned the layout for the towns and dungeons.
What I would like is an opinion on how things look after it's finished, specifically for base locations and open areas. Give me a week or two, and I'll have my map fully terrained. Deal?

Absolutely, I'm sure it'll look great with the amount of detail you're already putting in.

Ah, I see. It's good to see you're setting it also in the Warcraft universe!
I too am making it somewhat of an alternate universe, but based off the Warcraft lore, and focused on Orcs.
I like the Orcs, so I didn't shy on making them strong warriors if you choose them as a race. How long have you been working on it? I haven't even started on terraining my map yet.
Speaking of which, I am mediocre at terraining, but good with unit data and triggers. Need help with yours?

We are opposites i see because i have been learning terrainng for a few years and yet ignoring triggers which make custom games lovable but my map does have a few triggers like chicken generate income and wild animal spawn.
It is very hard to mimic Founders of the North's animal spawn i tried anyway.

I found a way to do that, and to make something like wolves or bears migrate if they are targeted. The method I use mostly uses unit indexing and custom values for the "Animals". My terraining is OK. Not good, but not terrible. I tend to use a lot of random brush strokes to fill space, which can be noticeable.
