Beyond the Throne: Tides of Darkness

[Kam]

Beyond the Throne

Version - Altered Melee: 4002 / Survival: 129

I was disappointed when I saw that RoC did not include sea combat so I set out to edit the melee system to include ships and that spiraled into a significant altered melee. Beyond the Throne adds elements of WCII, my own ideas, and community ideas that I have accumulated over many years. It is the only melee map of its kind that is able to be hosted on b-net without high download time. I hope you will enjoy playing.

Features

Integrated Sea Units

Sea units serve as extensions to racial strengths. Orcs field raw power, high health, area damage units. Humans specialize in concealment, fast movement, and ground unit support. Lost use flying ships that deal magic damage, target multiple units, and augment ground armies via proxy summoning units. Naga units are all amphibious, but slower on land.

Unique Third Race: Lost

When I set out to create a third race I wanted to base it off of demons and undead, but still be something new. Lost are a hyper-aggressive race with several unique attributes. Organic units will lose hit points when off of blight. Structures and research are expensive. Gold is harvested automatically by a Consumed Gold Mine, and lumber is harvested by workers as Wisps do. Rather than a naval transport of some type, Lost have a Derelict that can proxy summon units provided after absorbing your own units. Units start with all their abilities, researches increase spell power. You need to attack wisely due to the unit decay when off of blight, and make use of Derelicts to create blight away from your structures. Early expansion is advised.

Who are the lost?

Functioning Naga Race

I wanted to build on the TFT Naga tech tree and have created a diverse unit roster. These Naga rely on movement bonuses and magic manipulation. Every unit is amphibious. They use % bonus upgrades. Lumber may be harvested automatically from their upgrade center.

Specialized Terrain

You will play in areas designed to integrate sea units and find that sometimes the best way to defend or secure an expansion is from the water.

Survival Mode

Survive against the Lost onslaught as Orc, Human, Naga, or the precursor to the Lost - Fallen.

Questions

What does Beyond the Throne: Tides of Darkness seek to do?

• Continue the story after TFT in terms of racial development
• Introduce sea units
• Provide high replay value

Who worked on this?

I have done 99% of the map work, with limited help from Vexorian, Moyack, Retera, and Spellbound.

How long have you been working on this?

On and off since August 2002.

Does this seek to emulate WC: II perfectly?

Not at all. Over the years many Wc2 units have found there way into the project but have since been transformed to provide a unique experience.

Did you do any of the custom models/textures/icons for this map?

With the exception of a few icon edits, no I did not.

Can I have any of the models in your map?

Most are available here or on other resource sites. Let me know if I can help.

Why is your map locked?

• Preservation of game balance
• Prior to recent patches I needed to compress to be playable on bnet

Will you ever release an unprotected version?

Maybe.

Will you ever be done?

I doubt it.

Possibly the best Altered Melee map Ive ever played. Great gameplay with new and unique units, while still having that same Warcraft feel.
- Trilby

As time goes, so does @Kam's innovative Beyond the Throne project continue with it. One of the most meticulously conceived altered melee maps who's span came into being long ago only to further through even today.
- deepstrasz

This is pure, unadulterated insanity of a mod. Literally Warcraft IV. What I would like to emphasize is the visual design and clarity - it feels like an extension of WC3, most units and buildings do not strike me as from some other game, they do look at home when compared alongside the original roster. At the same time, they are not simple recolours, with so many new styles and mechanics they do pretend to be something more, something that needs a good story to correspond with it and to explain it, to draw the player into it.
- Adunai

Overall, this is a must altered melee to play.
- Orcnet

As far as custom factions go, Beyond the Throne is pretty much one of the very best out there. Gameplay is expanded to include new mechanics like naval combat, which is done the traditional way with the Alliance and Horde but integrated seamlessly into the Naga and the Lost, the two factions replacing the Night Elves Sentinels and the Scourge. The design asymmetry that OG Blizzard is known for is nicely cultivated to give each faction its own identity.

Detailed Analysis for BTT:TOD[Event]

 

[DwarfZealot]

looks quite cool acually i will try it out when i get home

 

[Tankass]

im def trying this out once its finished, good job so far

 

[Rui]

I'm going to try this out. Seems cool. However, I think you should use Chaplain for Mage.

 

[Wolverabid]

Orcs and Humans: Tides of Darkness

The map seems excellent and your post is COLOSSAL [broke=+ REP !]Kam ![/broke]

 

[Kam]

Thank you all for your comments, I look forward to your reviews. =)

Edit: I'm using this post for image storage.

 

[Deathell]

I actually downloaded this from you before this thread, and I love it!

 

[Kam]

So my main problem is the AI for this map. I have long struggled with it, as it is fairly advanced. I don't exactly have the time to learn advanced AI, so I am going to need some help.

Secondly, I would really like the player defeat/victory/has left the game messages to be colorized like they are in DotA (yes, I know, ew).

Third, if anyone has any idea how I could limit submarines from going into shallow water, please let me know. I have been trying to find a way to for over a year.

These are some things that go beyond my ability and that I need some help with.

 

[Ham Ham]

I arent on my pc now, but, I will try when I get on home.

Ps: Where you found these fantastic war2 models?

 

[Killrogg Deadeye]

Are you the maker of those W2 models?

 

[Kam]

No, the only resources I made were a few icon edits. The credits list can be found in-game. As far as the WC2 building models, the only one that I obtained from a public source was the Church. So I can give you that one.

 

[Killrogg Deadeye]

I thank you very much for the church, in these days I see some W2 models...cool! Soon i'll post in this site a W2 troll axethrower and a W2 troll berserker. Maybe one day well'see a good W2 themed mod


PS: why don't you use the the Ogre Mound and Temple of the damned of this site? I think they will be kick ass in your map

 

[Kam]

I was unaware that this site had either of those building models. I can't seem to find them either?

 

[Black Mamba]

It looks awsome i can't wait until i get frozen throne back on

 

[Ham Ham]

Well, if you are needing of help with AI, I can help you.
I can add some basic AI to your map.

 

[Kam]

Yes I'll prepare a map for you to test AI on, and I'll include the previous work that was done by Moyack.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Wow, real nice! This looks great!
This might be good for a death knight:
Nazgul Rider by Olof Moleman
Just in case you don't like the beast rider's red face. :emote_grin:

I'll check it out soon!

 

[Kam]

Well I look forward to your reviews.

@Purge: That's a wonderful model, but it's got hero glow and it's a little too serious looking for warcraft.

 

[Malvodion]

:emote_surprised: The Sinister Models. cool. :emote_surprised:

the map is exelent. :emote_grin: :emote_clap:

 

[Kam]

Update:

New colorized player has left system is being added.
Minor terrain changes.
Looking at various bugs with custom spells.

 

[Eleandor]

At occasions like these I wish I could rep ya

just 1 thing: I'm missing a submerging turtle for orcs? And I'd really like to see... oil patches!

 

[DoOs_101]

Btw can I ask how you put that hero glow to a non-hero unit?

Thanks

Theres a tutorial inside that program

 

[Kam]

No it has nothing to do with the editor. It's just an aura that uses the hero glow model.

 

[DoOs_101]

You use the one on mpq or upload a custom hero glow model?

 

[Kam]

It's a imported model, use it on Life Regeneration Aura for best results.

 

[Gausslander]

I was depressed when I saw that there was no AI, fix that, and I'll give you rep.

 

[DoOs_101]

Your model doesn't work, can please specifically tell me how to attach that hero glow?

 

[Kam]

So here's the deal, I need someone who knows JASS to go over all the code in my map and search for errors. Specifically, there are some desync issues. Let me know if you can help.

 

[LordDz]

There's a jass-leak tool on this website. Go check it out

 

[Kixer]

Im really busy atm, but if I have time I could help with AI and fixing any errors...
Let me know by PM if your interested ( maybe an unprotected version too ).
Don't worry, Im no map stealer....

 

[Malvodion]

this is dead????

 

[Supermj]

This is amazing. Add an AI and this will be awesome.

 

[busterkomo]

Simply 1337,

 

[Kam]

It's not dead, just have a lot of exams at the moment.

 

[Ghost-]

@Kam is it going forward ?

 

[Kam]

Well the last thing to be done is AI, and currently I have no one on that. So I need to find someone I suppose.

 

[Kam]

Version 3.7 is out! See the OP for details.

 

[Supermj]

Dude! You got the AI in! Sweet!

 

[Kam]

Yes, that was completely thanks to Moyack though. I've worked hard on the rest though, I'm ready for some feedback.

 

[Malvodion]

At last. a new version

 

[Supermj]

I found a glitch. For some reason, I can't build the human hero's building anymore... hmm...

 

[Kam]

There are no heroes. =)

 

[Supermj]

Well... if I remember correctly, there was a building that built really good units that are essentially non-leveling up heros that start out with all abilities. Like the ogre lord?

 

[Kam]

Yes I decided to remove them, as people still tended to concentrate only on them and not build armies.

I may include some sort of hero like unit in the future, so if you have any suggestions let me know.

 

[Supermj]

Well... it just made me happy. It was amazing the way some of those spells worked. But I see your problem. If you could remove the max of 12 units selected at once, I'd like the idea of removing the heros, but right now, I think they should remain in.

 

[Kam]

I'm not sure if you can select more than 12 units, it might be hard-coded. Does anyone know if you can?

 

[Supermj]

I'm pretty sure Illidan(evil)X is doing that for his Modern Warfare game. I'll find out if he'll give a video.

But me, I simply made a mass-order spell.

 

[Mechanical Man]

You could do that with implementing formations, but it is not the case. And heroes could be avalaible at later tiers, they are not that strong then.

 

[Kam]

Well in the latest version you can reach tier three in about 10 mins depending on how well you can tech and what build you're doing. Heroes are just a vastly complicated subject for a game such as this, before any type of hero unit can be added again I have to insure it can't become overpowered even 30 mins into the game.

It would be nice to be able to have larger control groups though.
