    When i play as undead nerabian race, the burial site building it has a looming shadow wall everytime i try to build it.

    Hey. I really enjoy all your projects and see the amount of time and effort you put into them!
    I was wondering what your thoughts are on the following as factions:
    1. Emerald Nightmare (Whether that means "Corrupted Night Elves" as a whole or "Corrupted Ancients" like Tichondrius' corrupted night elves, that's up to you to interpret.) Standard edition, since there's already a reforged one.
    2. The Drust.
    3. Druids of the Flame (Whether that means Majordomo Staghelm, Primalists or a fusion of both.)
    4. The Abyssal Maw (Neptulon, Hydraxian Waterlords, Naga like Skar'this the Heretic, Sea giants, Makruras, Rockpool murlocs, The Kvaldir, Waveblade Ankoan.)
    5. The Zerg Swarm. (A thought I had was the Overmind as a hero, but he is a building or static. He could far sight periodically, with a long cooldown, spread creep.) An idea for heroes could be Kerrigan (Her Infested Form from SC2) (could use her abilities from SC2), Eschueta the Wicked (Looks like Kerrigan from SC1 and has her abilities from SC1) and The Cerebrate.
    6. The Mogu Empire (Zandalari, Saurok, Pandaren slaves.)
    7. The Twilight's Hammer Clan (Cho'Gall, Pale Orcs, Ogres, Ogre Magi, Dark Naaru.)
    8. The True Horde (Garrosh empowered by the Heart of Y'shaarj, the Klaxxi, The Kor'Kron, Blackfuse Company, Mogu Terracotta, Dark Shaman.)

    Thanks for being awesome!

    Haha, nah not druids. Necromancy, closely followed by Warlock. Luckily, kind folks like you have scratched this itch, so I've delved into other ones.
    1. Yeah I thought so too! A couple of cool ways to approach them. You can go Tichondrius/demon route or more Old God-y route, or both!
    2. The Drust were Vrykul and then discovered Thros, the Blighted Lands. "Druidic death magic"/"Drust magic being a macabre version of druid magic". Dark Druids, witches, stones formed like stone henge or houses taken over by Heartsbane Coven, slender druids, Hulking bodies, Nightscreamers, Skeletal Drust, Behemoths, masks to mind control people.
    3. Fair. A part of me thought to improvise the rest, but it'd end up clashing with Dark Iron, right? Could be wrong, though.
    4. You could kick out the Naga and murlocs if you wanted (considering, they were very few) and the rest would make sense.
    5. All good. That's why I didn't bring any W40k or the rest of Starcraft's factions.
    6. Understood.
    7. Hey, man. I know I ain't the first to think of it and I'm glad I wasn't. How exciting! No pressure, though.
    8. Same as 6.
    I'll throw 3 more ideas your way and leave you to it.
    A. Mantid Empire.
    B. Iron Legion.
    C. Helarjar.
    Anyway, thanks for entertaining the messages anyhow. No matter what happens, just thank you for all that you do. :D

    The druid of the flames are just mostly druids can't make a full race with those they could be like the human race where there's only 3 Elves
    Mortimm
    Mortimm
    True... just a fan of the theme. A bit harder to cobble together a theme with them that makes sense, which is a bit of a headache. Eh well. I guess I'll have to discard any future discussions/idea input for them. Even with taking additional liberties with Hearthstone, there's only so much that can be done. With Fire Balance Druids, Fire Cat Druids, Fire Scorpion Druids, Fire Crow/Hawk Druids, Fire Wyvern Druids. Keepers of the Flame, Fire Spiders, Hell hounds, things like that (See the Firelands and Molten Front for what I mean.)
    I do see now that a lot of the inspo for such a faction definitely would need to be broadened to a Ragnaros affiliated affair, rather than just Druids and/or "fire corrupted druid like things".

    Hi Wa666r! love your custom races and campaign! i was wondering if you've ever thought about doing a twilights hammer or hell even a titanforged themed race?
    Daffa
    Hi Wa666r, I would like to know how do you merge so many races from multiple works into War's Legacy v1.1 (Draenei Update) since that would mean a ton of importing, object data copy-paste (and ID fixing) and so on. Would love to know how you deal with the high complexity of merging everything into one map, thanks!

    I checked your map's trigger and it seems the latter is already done (only loop when in use), the former only yield little benefit from some reports (2.0 might be different) , and I think a more prevalent issue is with unit group.

    I don't recommend checking if unit group is empty, instead use an integer variable that increases when you add unit to group, and decreased when you remove unit from group, this will help with speed since unit group is one of the more expensive operation.

    Another one is that for longer triggers, try to save (triggering unit) and the likes into a variable if referenced multiple times from the same triggers.

    I apply a lot of these methods, but currently struggling to fix an issue I am facing with a High Elf update. The entire faction has a periodic and its causing quite the micro-stutter.

    Hello. I have seen your War's Legacy project and it's already impressive what are you doing.
    I was wondering if in the future you will add other factions like:
    • The Amani Trolls.
    • The forces of Stormwind. This might be a little redundant with the Human faction but since I see that you want to add the Scarlet Crusade I thought that Stormwind should be added as a faction.:peasant-smile:
    • The forces of Kul Tiras. Similar to Stormwind, this can also be redundant as a Human faction and also it is a Nation that is strong with ships but it's my favorite nation of the Alliance and if it could be added it would be great. :peasant-smile:
    Take it only as a suggestion. You decide the factions you want to add to your project.

    Hello, I've made a new account just to message you because I wanted to enjoy your custom races a little more. I only know the basics of triggers and scripts, but I was trying to edit one of your maps using WorldEditor and have a trigger to reduce my current food used to 0 (I like having big armies against AIs), however with some maps it causes compilation errors, all of which I am not really familiar with.

    I do not know if what I am doing is allowed (modifying your map files), but I would stop if you told me to. I only use this edited version to play on my own against AIs. I was wondering how to resolve these compilation errors so your map would work again as intended along with the food used cheat (since it disabled some of the triggers due to the errors). Thank you for making amazing custom races. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them ^^

    Depending on the map you'll need to use the proper editor version. If you're having a lot of food issues like that you could change the food cost of the units in Object Editor.

    You can edit and play with your friends and whatnot, just don't upload the barely edited version on sites.

    Oh okay, I have no intention of sharing these maps anywhere haha. It's really just to play with AI cause I get bored sometimes. Thank you, I'll try and update my world editor. Thank you for responding :grin:

    Hi new to HIVE downloading and wanted to play your custom races pack but i don't know how... do i need to download one of your maps to play the pack or it something else?
    Wa666r
    Wa666r
    Either or. Downloading the pack just downloads all the maps at once.
    KhalJyanoz
    Hello Wa666r, I've enjoyed your custom race maps for a long, long time now, have you ever considered compiling your edited models and effects into packs so users such as myself can more easily import them for our own projects? Especially ones like the Felbood/Void and Nightborne Elf packs, which aren't on HIVE except via picking at your maps. I'm starting a big campaign and want to experiment with as many base factions as possible for ideas before settling on what groups I want to use with my own lore twists.

    Yo Wa666r, did you ever figure out how to make any of your ais attack launches continue to attack after destroying a building along the way? As i've browsed many forums and code snippets and from what I could tell you were someone who was actively trying to find a fix to this at some point. It's fine if not as its not an overly big deal
    Wa666r

    Do you have the link where I asked that? Also, I guess. The issue seems to be mainly from using AI editor AI, using Jass seems to make them suicide proper.

    Yeah Here [JASS] - JASS Campaign AI 2.0 Im using Jass but you can easily exploit the ai by building a single tower outside of your base. Im converting to the new ai formats though so idk if that problem is still there

    Hi Wa666r. I am a big fan of your custom races series. I want to know which race is easier and which is more dificult. I checked the Ultimate battle page and it says that the Lightforged Draenei is easy to play (2/10) and Dalaran is hard (10/10). If you don't mind, can you rate all your 21 custom races from the easiest to the most difficult to play? Thank you

    DuneDog
    Hey man, I sincerely made this account just to message you. I'm blown away by the quality and polish put into your races— the Nightborne warrior hero for example has become conceptually one of my faves, and this is from a player who usually /hates/ playing as elves. The Illidari have some great stuff too, like having a hero's ult dedicated to reset ability cooldowns on another hero is such a 'that's so obviously cool and powerful, why hasn't anyone else done that yet?' feeling, it's awesome man.

    That being said, I've managed to preserve my retro version of WC3 (1.21B) and REFUSE to get reforged: thus I've come to ask/request if any of your fel or dark orc material (that I've yet to try) will be converted to OG WC3? I'm biting at the bit to see your take on my fave race, especially on a map with a tavern hero so I can use Dark Ranger to build an army with new and old horde units. (Gawd, an AI for Fel and Dark so I could steal and use them all would be chef's kiss!)

    We all know reforged is an inferior product and share the same sentiment. But you can still play on classic settings. And it did bring some good things on the back end of things for mapmakers. A lot of which I use in my newer maps. New triggers and such for coding. Going forward you'll find less and less maps being made for older versions.

    I appreciate its contribution to the modding scene, yet still cannot abide by Reforged. The way it handled its release just does not sit well with me, so if I find less and less maps for the OG version, so be it. Also, thank you for these maps! The Fel&Dark map loops the menu for me, so I cannot play, but the Fel one works (Full-Scale Assault is a great map, looking forward to it).

    Do you plan to add more race in ultimate battle? I would like to see the iron horde, the void elves, the neburians and, for example, the ogres. I'm not saying that everything will be done at once, but knowing that at least little by little they would be added would be quite good.
