Angelthorn, the Gnoll Campaign

[Direfury]

Close to now, i've finished the basics of a project and would like to request a small team who'd be interested in working with me to finish my "Angelthorn" Mini-campaign.

My story takes place 100 years in the future. After the events of TFT, Arthas returns to a region in the Plaguelands now named the Blightfields to create a new army, driven by the words "The Gnolls would create a formidable army... If only they quit fighting amongst themselves."

That thread has all of the details in it, consult it for any 'lore' issues you may have.

At the moment, i'm looking for:
1 Terrainer X
1 Quest Manager X
1 Storyline helpers X
1 Modeller/Skinner X

If you have any questions about the campaign, don't hesitate to ask.

Im sure this will be a gret map dude! The story is very interesting and carefully thought out. The units a good as well, but one thing I dont like about them is that they all can gather lumber... seems more like a mass lumber cut down project. The good thing about heroes is that they all have different spells and also have a different amount of spells, that brings some change to the usuall maps with the same amount of everything everywhere.

So great story Revellion, but since Im a GUI triggerer I cant help you atm..

 

[Direfury]

Actually, Gusigo, its more of a mini-campaign than a single map, infact i've already started working on the cinematic 'openning' for it.

 

[04gusigo]

well, either way, Im really looking forward to play it! ^^

 

[Direfury]

Yeah, but first I have to 'perfect' a Prelude cinematic, or atleast get to a good stage in it and give up then submit it.

 

[Callahan]

I can do some freelancer model.
I had the idea to convert my weretiger model to gnoll brute it should be easy.
Are you interested?

 

[Direfury]

Definetly. If I send you a text file describing the major characters, think you could do something for atleast one've them?

 

[dragon_kid]

I'm not too shabby at terrain. Can you send the gists of the area layout?

 

[Direfury]

Lets see what you can do first.

 

[dragon_kid]

Mmn, give me a couple days and I'll put a 32x32 example up

 

[Mechmap]

I could probly do some terrain for you if youd like, If you promise not to spread it, I'll send you the first map of my campaign.

 

[dragon_kid]

Amazing what can appear in a few hours. I really thought this would take some time...

Anyway, here's a simple group of scenes on terrain. There isn't any real terrain to steal, but anyone who does, I send my little friend after them

 

[Mechmap]

I like it pretty much dragon_kid, but there is not really any elevation in terrain and where it is... well, it is too pointy in those places.

 

[Direfury]

It looks pretty nice, though somewhat cramped. You could perhaps do some work for some quest areas in the first map.

Mech, I want to see what you can do, I need someone to help me work on terrains on the right side of the map, which is almost completly Undead.

 

[dragon_kid]

@Mechmap- In hindsight, I could have probably worked a bit more on the terrain field a bit more, but to tell the truth, that's the first piece of mapping I've publicly shown anyone.

@Revellion- What sort of quest areas do you have in mind? A Gnoll camp? Murloc huts? Or something to do with one of the other races?

 

[Direfury]

The Gnoll Stronghold is pretty much surrounded by trees, it has one arena to entertain yourself with, so far is only buildings, roads, some rocks and a few quest items.

A Kobold camping site has only a few tents and a catapult, i'm planning on expanding on that.

The Ogre Camp seems to be missing something, though it is a one-shot area.

Murlocs of various types have been scattered along the river of the map, brought into small tribes.

With limited space, the Undead bases of the "Zhulwood Legion" have been put together quite well, considering how difficult I want them to be. They don't look half bad either.

 

[dragon_kid]

Sounds fun. I could probably do the Undead base justice, and the arena just needs to be a large area with a few corpses for detail. The beast encampments, however, may be tricky. Have the Ogres and Murlocs changed much since FT?

 

[Mechmap]

Undead.. damnit, I can never terrain undead stuff, mostly it just ends up a big mess of skeletons, skulls and other stuff.

 

[Direfury]

Actually, thats pretty much what i've done to the undead base.

Dragon, the Murlocs have pretty much dealt with hte changes at hand, some have mutated from being stuck around blighted regions for too long, plague bearers and such have begun showing up and thats about it.

 

[dragon_kid]

Don't sound too difficult. Do you have a tamplate for me to work on, or is it from scratch?

 

[Direfury]

I did 70% of the terrain when I started and then I built on it from there, what I have down is what you'll have to work on, for most parts its just reshaping or retouching parts to get the idea across completly.

 

[dragon_kid]

Ok. I can work my night hours my time on this, and it shouldn't be that big of a problem. I estamate a week of work+looking ingame to see if all fits well enough.

 

[Mechmap]

Well, seems you got a terrainer and a good one from the looks of it. Besides got my own campaign to trigger. A pain in the ass is the triggers, the terrain is just a simple addition.

 

[Direfury]

Three styles are always better than one, especially when things are perfectly intertwined in later maps.

 

[dragon_kid]

Could you either e-mail or post the map that needs editing? It would help to see what we're up against, figuratively speaking.
