Thank you! I couldn't have done it without the amazing support of the community. <3

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Azeroth Roleplay
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

Also, please do not spam map tags. Use most fitting ones. Roleplay fits here but added Strategy/Risk too since it's a bit more than that.

Awaiting Update.

I'm a bit confused. Credits are provided in the description under "Resource Credits." Did I miss anybody?

It's OK. I think I have somehow missed it.
Make sure it's not only stuff on HIVE though, also any sound material if used.

The rest of the models are custom-made by Kacpa2 for the map so I think it should be all good on that front.

 

[moddiemads]

An extremely charming roleplaying map! Lots of models and a welcoming community! And the best save-load system around!

 

[Calico]

I love these kinds of maps! There's maps like this already but they're usually too laggy (Occasional stutters), too plain or the host powers are too limited for my taste, this is a pretty good balance of all 3 of those. The only feature I'd like to see changed is the wisp detonate skill on buildings and workers. I tried controlling a hostile AI and setting up camps and a big base with it hoping to lay siege on it when I'm done. Unfortunately it started to detonate its buildings the moment my army touched them.

Sounds like an issue with the AI. I'll look into this! I'll probably end up replacing the detonate ability with a proper remove unit/building ability. Thank you for the feedback and the kind words, and I'm glad you've enjoyed the map so far!

Make sure to join us in on our discord!

@Kacpa2 gave the green light on this.
Approved.

As promised, the new 2.7.9 update should fix this.

 

[Calico]

Tested the newest patch by having small outposts go against each other, and it's great! Loved building up a town and tearing it back down
I'll start building up entire cities next then siege and conquer them

 

[BaiyuGalan]

A new world is just around the corner.

 

[Adiniz / Imemi]

A new world is just around the corner.

Hope you enjoy the map! Your models were essential in many of the recent race revamps and will continue to be so. <3

 

[MKWolf13]

Very good and fun to play.

 

[Le Shaysonio]

A neat map, with good foundations and features that progressively continue to become better with the newer updates. I personally enjoy the fact that you can create some interesting scenarios with others during roleplay, as well as create some fascinatingly complex (or simplistic) builds. However, I have some critiques:

1 - The terrain. It's neither good nor terrible, but man, it sure as hell would benefit from a redoing.

2 - The FPS issue. Since all decorations, structures and what have you are all units, the map becomes a certified FPS-killer.

3 - (This one is actually not related to the map itself, but the players) Lack of communications. Many newcomers who come to this map either confuse it with similar maps, or outright refuse to learn the game while playing it, and leave when they're frustrated with their lack of knowledge. There's also the issue of language, since many have a limited grasp on English, and this becomes problematic when online roleplay requires at least an intermediate understanding of the language. But, as I've already said, this is not an issue of the map nor the developer.

Overall a good map with a dedicated following and developer. I give it a Roleplay/Azeroth.

 

[TheLazyGeep]

A very accessible and easy-to-use map for RPi, and in fact my favorite tbh

Thank you! I greatly appreciate it. If you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free to send them on the discord server or in here!

 

[Adiniz / Imemi]

Sorry for double posting - the long-awaited 2.10.0 update is finally out! This includes more saveable and loadable things (all credits go to @moddiemads), like lowering/raising terrain, skins, etc, but also a brand new Kul'tiras race, plenty of model changes across all factions, many new decorations and heroes, and many other goodies.

We await any fellow roleplay-lover and creative folk to be part of our discord server and join our hosted rp/building sessions!

 

[Darkwolf_45]

This is a really fun map to mess about in and create all sorts of RP scenarios and fun matchups. I look forward to future updates.

 

[Adiniz / Imemi]

Thank you!! <33
I'm not currently planning on adding more content to the map, but it will still get a couple patches for any eventual issues / general quality of life.
In the meantime, I'm working on a new roleplay map from scratch that will take the best from this for an even better experience.

Currently, this map and Age of Azeroth are the maps I've played the longest. I'd like to know if this map will be updated. I think its current playability is very high. I wonder if there will be updates to the terrain and other content. The bug I know of is that the Lich King cannot be captured effectively; I checked through the options. I remember there was a hero named Anduin in the lore, but I haven't found him in the latest version. Also, a certain version of Northrend in the lore was very interesting. I think the design of Icecrown Citadel is excellent; I don't know why it wasn't continued in the new version. I'm not sure if it's from a previous version of this map.

Hi! I'm currently not working on the project anymore due to some personal issues; someone else has been left in charge. To answer some of your questions:

• I'm aware of the Lich King capturing bug, though it's not much of an issue since you can use something like -ngive or one of the abilities to give yourself a neutral unit.
• I also remember an Anduin hero, but I can't seem to find it either. I think it might've been removed by Kacpa long before I started development on the map. Honestly, I think a good option could be just using one of the Arthas heroes and renaming them/changing their abilities.
• I think the Northrend you're talking about is @Panasdafa's beautiful edit of the map; it wasn't an official version, and though I planned on porting it over, I ended up reconsidering due to the weight of doing so. Terrain edits have always been something I'm interested in, but haven't gone through with because not only are my own terrain skills a bit lackluster, but I also fear that over-detailed terrain might be harmful to complex builds/non-Warcraft roleplay, which is an issue I've ran into with other maps in the past.

Thank you so much for your reply. I completely understand that everyone has busy real-life lives. I appreciate the effort you put into creating this map. I've recently become obsessed with this type of map. Thank you, Kacpa, and Azeroth's Most Wanted. You are all creators of maps I've been recently captivated by. Each and every one of you is so talented. Thank you for the joy your work brings me. I wish you and your family all the best, good health, happiness, and joy.
