Conquest of Alterac v1.0

[shadowhog]

seems interesting I like the concept of the random enemy type

Playing in classic graphics with humans on hard:

Paladin has a green box for the icon from the altar, top left corner
North east of the starting base where the bandit creeps are, there is a pathing issue when trying to go through the middle of the barricades.
Aiden Perenolde does not appear there is only a black spot that moves around

Thanks for the feedback!
Indeed it seems that more assets are missing from Classic than I thought.
I fixed the paladin icon, Aidan's model and a few buildings in the town area. You can find this in the 'Classic' version of the map I uploaded.

I don't think there's a pathing issue - the barricades should be destructible (I think it looked confusing because some assets were missing).

I assume it's like Monolith?

Classic Download

Orcs Hard
Home of the frost wolfs has a green box in quest log
Ice lord is invisible the dreaded black spot on the ground

Undead
Air units will not enter the crypt (may be designed that way idk)
When selecting a half to full army group the units will not use the front gate of the crypt when trying to move them into where the NE are or the summoning book, they will attempt to use the side passage that's blocked by rocks or walk into the wall. (there may be assets that are invisible did not check reforge yet for this)

Night Elf
Nothing that wasn't already addressed.

Ill play through the reforge when I get time

Thanks a lot for testing it further

I fixed the Ice lord's model and a bunch of wall/building assets in the v1.0.1 Classic map.

It is intended that flying units cannot enter the crypt, although admittedly as you point out, it has really confused the pathing in/out of the gate even for regular units.

The naga Royal Guard hero should use glow or you should find a custom model for it: How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
There's a minor issue with the glyph not restoring the fountain in the first go; you have to get out of the zone and get back to the fountain for it to work.
The caravan priests don't heal themselves or anyone.

It's pretty much Warcraft III, no custom techtrees but it's a nice idea to change some aspects depending on what faction you choose to play as; there could have been more variety in quests and things to do as a consequence of race choices though.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION

• A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
• A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
• Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

I played with night elves and only realized partway through it was v0.4, so maybe some of these have been adressed.



Plague treants quest icon is a green square.

The Burning Crusade quest has no text, and clicking it later (as in, demons cleared out, undead mostly gone) crashes the game.

The area with the slaughterhouse has weird pathing where my units don't go anywhere, as though there were invisible walls at random.

Several bridges in the snowy areas use the green texture.

During the ritual, the chieftain counted as killed before his reincarnation came into effect.

Cleared out the undead base, woke up Ivus, but the game isn't progressing, the red icon is still on the map. Am I missing something?

Hi cleavinghammer
Thanks a lot for playing! I'm sorry you experienced these issues.
A few of them sound like something that may have been fixed, especially the texture issues in the v1.0.1_Classic file. Originally I had used a lot of Reforged only assets without realizing they didn't exist in Classic.
The rest sound like game logic issues, which could still be relevant. I'd like to say I will get around to fixing them, but at the same time over a year has passed since I last looked at this project.

 

[cleavinghammer]

Eh, they aren't too hard to deal with.

Played with orcs on the lastest version and won (the main issue there is that their main quest icon is a green square), though the Black Citadel area wasn't used at all. Is there nothing in the NW corner, or is it only used for some factions?
