HIVE

Hey! Yeah I can do that, with the caveat that I'm not very good at designing heroes/abilities, but I'd like to help out any way I can. And yeah Llane should be probably be a hero unit. There's two decent models on Hive for him, not sure which I like best. I could edit the older looking one to look younger, and maybe add some animations for cinematics (e.g. without a sword/hammer).

As for QWER hotkeys, in principle I'm alright with that, but the issue is I personally use AZERTY so hardcoding QWER doesn't work for everyone But it's the standard these days so people like me can just adjust to it.

Oh and for Lothar's abilities, the ones from my melee map are adequate I think, but if you (or someone else) comes up with some better ideas that's fine with me too.

Yes they will do. Here is the updated campaign for chapter1. You can finish all quests but there is barely any enemies.

I just played it, posted in the thread about it. BTW, it just occurred to me that Llane appears in TLG, so for continuity it might be best to use the same model for him.
