[Chaos.]

I would join but I'm commiting myself to my campaign atm. But good luck to you, Alagremm, and whoever else from this group is joining.

 

[Chaos.]

Btw, if anybody needs testers for your contest race, I'm up for it.

 

[Misha]

ugh.. someone work with me on those darn Elementals >:/ I'll make him a free model if i see a done race D:

 

[Wazzz]

Yo, Chaos., if you PM me your MSN Address I'll add you and send you the map as soon as I see it fit for testing
I'm doing Forest Trolls, for those of you who do not know. Don't worry, it's not another one of those crappy Forest Troll races where everything except 1 or 2 units is ranged with piercing damage, it's the kind of race that is guranteed to blow your MIND!

 

[Chaos.]

Why don't you send it through paste bin. I haven't used msn in like 2 years. And I only check email once every month or so. Paste bin is much more convienient.

You know, Wazzz, I was actually thinking of joining that contest with forest trolls just to be a jerk and give you some competition. But you know how I am when it comes to races. I get all these epic ideas, write them down, import the models and then lose interest. Based on your description and pics, my race would be quite different then yours. Probably mostly same models but different ideas. Maybe when this contest is over I could give you my ideas and you could improve your race.

 

[Wazzz]

Sounds cool to me
Well, I've got a few things to finalize, the triggers for the trickier spells are finally done, now it's just thinking of one last Hero ability as well as completing the upgrades, changing the unit/upgrade costs, times and everything, as well as the tooltips (you want to know what can do what, right? ). Also, I'm going to compress the file size of the map itself as it is currently standing over 2 MB

 

[VeljkoM]

My beta race ^^ Sea Legion
Feel free to test it and please report bugs.

[Wazzz]

Hmm... that hiveworkshop race is looking better all of a sudden...

Okay, so here's my ideas. The worker unit will be Ralle, as he maintains the 'site' (base). He will be a Stag. The first warrior unit will be... hm... this is a tough one...

Okay, so the first barracks should be the Forums, as this is where a lot of the noob members go when they first join the hive. The warriors built here will include the Noob (basic ranged unit, dies easily but comes in numbers. Throws comments and questions at the enemy [spam attack]), the Starcraft Fan (for the other-than-warcraft section. Will dress up as a Protoss Zealot and deal heavy melee damage) and the Forum Mod (capable of Silencing people, stopping them from attacking for a short period of time. Possiblty a flying unit so that it appears to 'swoop down' on 'posts' [enemies]).

 

[Wazzz]

Okay, the next buildings should be the Art Section and the Trollers Den. In the Art Section, we'll have Skinners (supporting caster unit, can Skin enemies [based off Hex], Alpha Effect [Dispel Magic] and Sharpen [increases damage and defense of selected friendly unit]), Modellers (versatile caster, can use Geomerge [Spirit Link], Remove Vertex [has random effect of decreasing enemies attack, health or defense for a short duration of time] and Blender [Animate Dead, raises only 1 random unit for a short duration of time]) and something else.

 

[Wazzz]

Next up is the Trollers Den. Here, you will get the Flamer (starts off as a medium melee unit, but can use the Berserk ability [based off of Avatar] at the cost of turning Neutral Hostile for the duration of the spell), the Noob Mod (can Ban enemy units on attacks, which is essentially the Banish spell) and the Thread Ressurector (has the ability to revive incredibly old posts, essentially summoning them out of the ground to haunt the enemy. Sort of like the Locust ability, only much weaker [as this is for a unit]).

And finally, the last building should be the Pro's Hub. Here you can get Paypal Donaters (they can steal money by targetting an enemy building, channeling small amounts out over time) and Map Makers (As they make maps, they can easily glide across them, giving them the ability to Teleport. They can also modify enemy or friendly unit stats, but I'm not sure what ability should display that yet).

 

[Wazzz]

The heroes should be (in my opinion) Illidan(Evil)X (for Triple Threat class), MasterHaosis (Pro Modeller class, also there's a model of him =D), Mr. Goblin (Pro Skinner class) and Pyrite (Global Moderator class). These are just my current opinions, and if I left anyone out who deserves a place among the heros of the hive, do let me know. I just think that these people cover most fields tactically on the battlefield (esp. Illidan(Evil)X ).

 

[Wazzz]

Okay, hero abilities:
Illidan(Evil)x:
- Remake (remakes an old game using pro triggering skills. heals target friendly unit for a lot of health)
- Deny Request (based off of Storm Bolt, denies someone looking for too many models or something of their request due to having his own work to deal with)
- Inspirational Aura (leaves allies in awe of his awesome mapping skills. Improves attack damage of all friendly melee units)
- Pink Bucket (Rains water down on a target area, summoning an electrical storm. Essentially just Monsoon, only awesome).

I'll do the others at another time if I can be bothered

 

[Wazzz]

Well, I know MasterHaosis isn't here any more, but now that you mention it, one could use an Archon model to represent Misha as the Model Moderator hero class or something like that

You could have abilities of summoning Naga and bringing down lightning on Flamers

Mind you, there'd be a LOT of competition for who would be most suited to being the Pro Modeller class, let alone all the other hero classes (except for the one covered by Illidan(Evil)x. No one can compete with him ). However, the most obvious choice atm (MasterHaosis was okay, but he even admitted he's not a great modeller himself) would be HappyTauren. Closely following would be Cavman, Mechanical Man, PyramidHe@d... there'd be quite a list. I reckon in that case, Misha, we could represent you with the Naga Fan unit or something, which would use the Naga Myrmidon model and have an ability like 'Starcraft Fan Form' where you switch to an Archon

 

[Tleno]

Hmmm... I just tough about epic THW campaing where every mission is diferent genre (Altered melee, AoS, RPG, TD), where THW members fight against great danger. In every mission you control different characters, and have diferent mission. Like first mission is some kinda like RPG where an average player completes quests/does stuff, then he notices The Great Danger and tells about it to Ralle. But he won't listen and goes with all moderators to Blizzard convention of Warcraft modding. Then Great evil attacks! At first missions you protect THW with ordinary members (Like us! except Misha, he might apear in mid-game since he's very strong), then in later missions you get more famous characters and at the end - Ralle!

 

[Wazzz]

LOL, that is very interesting indeed =D

I reckon the Great Evil should have reference to VERY bad members who didn't last long at all (IHateArthas, Adolfukin, there was another guy who had -26 rep on account of just posting random things like 'Fuck you!' and shit ), in order to make it more comical. There will be Spammers and such, so you must beware

Maybe the world is controlled by Illidan(Evil)X, and the game genre keeps changing every time he gets bored of a project lol

 

[StormWarriors2]

but so can I. I can't model but still it be funny if was included in the game as being the one who can't do anything except give out jokes and upgrades.

 

[Wazzz]

I reckon the campaign should travel through different game styles and implement different systems. For example, there could be a Modern Warfare style of map where you are about to be blown up, only to find out that a projectile system prevents the tank from blowing you to smithereens

There'd be one that would make fun of Dota and its tendency to be gay, too

 

[Misha]

Yesh, an anti-dota map is a must

 

[AIagremm]

Indeed. Dota may be one of the enemies. You appear on Dota map, kill vendors, players and both bases.

 

[Wazzz]

Could make an enemy race of Dota players, primarily consisting of Koreans and Supernerds

Then there would be a mission where you meet the legendary Source[x], who will tell you that you are on the right path (path for what? I don't have a clue, so nya ) and that he will assist you on your next mission. In that mission, he will supply you with 'Mod' Powers (instead of God Powers, eh? Geddit? Eh? Oh, to hell with you). Basically, the 'Mod' Powers bend the space and fabric of the game engine which is imprisoning you. One will change the gaming style from whatever it is to a random one (dunno how hard that'd be to do lol), others will do other stuff... idk, this is getting weird, anyway lol

 

[Tleno]

hmmm... actually I wanted meme race as enemy... they would try to meme all of us!

 

[Wazzz]

meme? I'm not sure I quite follow

 

[Tleno]

well, they would try to memefy the whole website and THW mebers saved themselves. Isn't thats obvious?

 

[Wazzz]

...no...
Unless you're referring to mummies, which I gather from your description. If so, your spelling is atrocious

 

[Tleno]

No, meme. Intenet Meme! Isn't that obvious? Its even more obvious than Holywood Terrorists...

 

[Wazzz]

Nope, still have no idea what it is. So I googled it
Ahk, so now I know what you're on about, allow me to react accordingly. HOW THE F*** CAN THAT BE A RACE??!?!?!

Lol, just kidding. Although I don't see how we could make that a race. I might need you to get the ball rolling on that one

 

[Tleno]

Those fsjal and duck avatar thingies were meme too, you know. So we really could make a campaing where THW opposes memes...

 

[AIagremm]

They are parasites, who infect victims and drain them of sanity and sence of fashion!

 

[Tleno]

Ugh, Alagremm, this is not random Lulzers anymore

I say we should really create campaing like this...

 

[AIagremm]

What, Im giving an awesome idea! It changes the looks of the target(puts a fsjal head attachment)and puts him under control of the caster, and drains his life and mana over time.

 

[Misha]

MasterHaosis is a perfect meme

 

[AIagremm]

Truly

 

[Misha]

there we have it. a worthy enemy, designed to corrupt the THW with his leet

 

[Wazzz]

But tleno, without the random lulzers, the whole idea would be... gay. I mean, come on, making a serious campaign involving users of the hiveworkshop? It's a little too... meh, boring, bland. But with candid internet references to make the project more light at heart while keeping a form of serious perspective, the campaign may or may not work

hehe, MasterHaosis will be the 1337357 (leetest) meme enemy of zem all! MUAHAHAHA!!!!!

 

[Tleno]

well, then we will need to find a person who can resist to Master Haosis. I mean, everyone would join him . Even me... that would be really cool when your alies betray you and you have only one hero...

 

[AIagremm]

Tleno! You have the mark of Haosis!

I mean, everyone would jpin his

How could you?!

 

[Wazzz]

Masterhaosis should have the GEOMERGE ABILITY!!!! It's where he fuses 2 allied units together to combine their powers and stats and crap lol. It would be VERY lengthy to create that unless his race only had like 4 units, then it would be simpler lol

Would be awesome, tho. To have the necessary models, as well. I could probably make something simple (it would have to look wacky for it to work).

Better than the Geomerge ability would be either (or maybe even both? Read before deciding! ) have Geomerge on all units like Hippogryph Archer Form, or on MasterHaosis and he melds with his own units lol.

I think that could be MasterHaosis' moveset, actually . His first 3 will be Geomerging with his weaker units, making an awesome form, then his ulti would be Geomerging with his strongest unit lol. 'Twould be entertaining

 

[Misha]

I'm immune to masterhaosis, since he's my friend

 

[Tleno]

Mine too...

 

[AIagremm]

Oh noes, he's not mine! But he repped me once...

 

[VeljkoM]

So Alagremm needs to learn way of Haosis?

 

[Wazzz]

He does indeed

I reckon that the map should just be a battle between hivers and MasterHaosis in a campaign titled 'MasterHaosis' Return' lol. He'd have an army of internet meme's, as follows:
SPARTA!!!: Base melee unit. Spartan meme

Rickroll: Ranged dancing unit. Would this count as an internet meme?

...and the others lol. And MasterHaosis can geomerge with any of his units to change his skill set, abilities and such. Which I think would be an epic idea to implement. And as he gains levels, he improves all of his abilities for the different types by a minor amount (it will be his only Hero ability, all the others will be unit abilities. So, every level he gains can be put towards adding on to his own abilities )

 

[Tleno]

yeah, and all those spammers, trolls and flamers could be creeps!

 

[Misha]

we can't do a return, since he's perma'd >_>

 

[Tleno]

Haosis is permabanned? oh god...

 

[VeljkoM]

Can Haosis have haosimilation? There is haosis buff.

 

[Wazzz]

No no no, you guys are getting the wrong idea. It's not so much that Haosis was allowed back, but he came back by force using his army of internet memes and 1337 HAX skills.

BTW, I forgot to mention we'd use Pyrite's Firefox UI Imports, so that it shows off that you're browsing on the internet and Haosis is hacking

Okay, I reckon because I'm a fan of MasterHaosis myself he should have a good ending in the campaign when you beat the crap out of him. Like, you find out that Ralle is the true enemy! MUAHAHAHA!!! (No offence, Ralle... DON'T SMITE ME!! :O)

idk, anyone else having any other ideas OTHER than 'OMG! Haosis is permabanned! This seems unrelated!'

 

[AIagremm]

Awesome. In the end you find out that Ralle was the one who've secretly done, but he was helping to fight his own forces off. He done it to destroy all the awesome guys, who were drawing attention away from him. Sry Ralle.

 

[Tleno]

Well, I have the best campaing idea ever!

See, memes try to take over THW, but only the one who can mod Warcraft can pass anti-bot defencive system. and Haosis is permabanned... so he teams up with memes so they would Haax so he would return back at THW and lets memes in... but then, when you destroy Haosis's base, he tells that he's the only one who cam stop memes and joins you in a final battle of normal vs. meme! so he's good, he just tricks memes to be destroyed forever!
