Oh, I heard about Plovdiv. That id nice city, people told me who passed though it. I heard about Ancient city from Roman empire.

Ah, no problem about that. You live in Sofia, right?
My city is close, about two hours from border

Then you passed though my city, Ниш

Хахаха :цгрин: не ради на ћирилици.
My country has not changed for last 20 years either....
I visited your country. Once in Sozopol, twice in Albena

Oh, I forgot that we are neighbors.
Поздрав пријатељу!

morbent,
Oh, where from are you?

Crescent...lol!
I'm okay too!

The model you are skinning must exist in Warcraft III already.

Hey!

Ohh, I just have answered your last message.

Edit: Cool races, I couldn't really test the maps, they don't work for me, all I get is human peasants.. Sigh, I must be doing something stupid

MMM to start with spellbound custome Faction: start WC3 Frozen Throne, single player, custome game, choose undead and use 90%handicap.
I guess that for the other entry will be the same.

Why do you need that much GUI exactly? Since it's for a standart warcraft 3 race? The other stuff I get though
----------
Hello, sorry for my late answer. Well you must fit into the standard W3 races, yet to win you need to create a unique and original faction, with mechanics not found within vanilla warcraft. If you are poor coder it turns out almost impossible to implement those unique and new ideas in your entry.

If you got time check these entries of Kingz and Spellbound

Ok!

Tech Tree Contest for Astaroth Zion:

The soul of the contest is to create from scratch a full faction that can stand in a standard W3 map. Meaning that it should gather gold and lumber and follow some classic mechanics of the vanilla W3. All bound up by the contest particullar rules, like doing a nomad faction, a darkness/light faction, etc.

The challenge resides in 2 things;
First, you got to present something fresh but also intuitive to anyone using your faction, that has to be balanced with the vanilla W3 factions (no overpower heros for example)

Second, to fulfill your grand vision of a custom faction (aka Dragon Kin for example) you need to use a great deal of coding (GUI or VJazz) doing dozens of custom spells and systems, then to get the aesthetics right you modify dozens more of 3D modells and in some cases create your own, then modify even more 2D icons and skins to have an appropiate overal look. Finally you got dozens of ours of fine balancing to get a playable and enojable entry.

I see, well my goal is to have a contest (TechTree contest is promising) that could help band together hive members of different skills and W3 modding interests. A big contest where many people could create resources for the HIVE with a clear goal and some rewards.

Next post will be about my thoughts on what TechTree contests means, XD

EDIT: if you got time lets get on hive chat. I fear the explanation is longer than I thought.

Hello Morbent,
A great deal of time has passed since we last spoke. (hehe conversation history shows that we talked about the remake of some of my models)

Anyway, right now I am all railed up for the next TechTree Contest (theme discusion thread here). IMO TechTree contest are some of the most complex and all-round challenges at the Hive. Because you need to be great at Map Editor, Balancing, 3D modelling, 2D art, and coding. A sort of Chuck Norris of W3 modding is required to have great results.

So my idea is to have 3-people teams with Hive members of different skills and make a Gran Comunity Challenge of the TechTreeContest. My idea is further developed on this post. Would you mind giving me your thoughts on that idea and participating on the discussion thread?

Nope, i just suspected that something was going on.

lol

moooose

Oh fuck it.

I really ain't gonna argue about such a nonsense. I already said it: if you got a suggestion or a complaint, go to the appropriate forum for it

I really got no wish nor time for such a thing.

Apologizes if the exclusions made you feel that way. I just don't want to repeat the mistakes that I've done with the previous theme poll :/

Never played wow, so cannot answer that question. And yeah, it probably won't be picked, haha.

Also, I prefer rouge-likes to straight up hack-and-slash dungeon crawlers, so in that regard Diablo 1's gameplay spoke more to me I guess.

Diablo 2 is a newer game, so it is obviously the art is better. The same way Diablo 3 art has a higher quality than Diablo 2 art. While I thematically prefer Diablo 1, as it is darker, and more gritty, which isn't to say Diablo 2 weren't: I don't particularly enjoy one over the other, both games were great.

morbent it's been a while !!
How are you

I have 4 exams left. Once I finish them all, I will feel much better.
What about your life?

I thought were talking about my monitor XD

Hai man, I am glad to see you. Well, preparing for exams. And for holidays. What about you?

morbent,

What you mean with software/hardware

It's just 2 years old, but it broke.. too early

I dunno if someone fucked it up. But there's nobody home

That's a huge pile of texts. 0-0
Anyway, january to march would be a good month. Btw, people wouldn't be annoyed by another contest since it is just the 14th edition which is very few unlike modeling contests. But right now, we can't start one. Someone fucked up my pc's monitor when I was away (I was in school, annoying :/ sad life).

Hive contesters? XD maybe competitive people could do the word but I just don't know XD. I'm just hoping that there'll be more contests in 2016 because of Hive 2. And also new types of competitions other than modeling, icon etc. and extremely convincing prizes like money XD. But it will just be a dream... or not.

Btw, I can't wait for Hive 2.

I hope somebody is. I'll stay as a judge tho.

hey morbent, got some time and i just finished an icon for your revenant skin. not quite sure if it's good enough. tell me what you think. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/icons-541/btnrevenant-273370/

I'm feeling up for another icon contest XD
