Exodar and Lightforged Draenei v.4

[Wa666r]

When I played v2, I thought it is the best custom race map I had have played. Now I can say, I liked v2 more than v2.2.
New structures look less unique and their building animations are too bright and rather hurt eyes.
Also I clapped eyes on a new healing spell. It is like 4 hp for 4 caster's mp, so not too useful in a battle.

Well that is unfortunate that you do not enjoy the buildings and their animations. I found it far more fitting to have a race be in unison with it's building just like the vanilla structures.

The healing spell restores health AND mana, so it's not a complete copy of the Priests' Heal spell. The Restore is meant to be used along with other casters and such.

Anyway it is hard to heal even a peasant.
(upd)
I got the Idea restore is not a usual healing spell, but have not got it meaning yet. Does Harmony provide usual healing?
Also I tried to write something yesterday, although do not see it now in my reply… This:
• I count Gemcrafter looks weird, previous one was funny and cute.
• Did not get Gemcrafter's spell usage.</li>
• Elekk rider is available in a very late stage, until which there is a lack of a good melee warrior.
• In my view Elekk rider's Storm in ability should be initial or cost cheaper. Do you count Clad upgrade from v2 overpowered?
• Anchoryte's healing spell restores too little hp. (Ah, told already)

The Honest Truth!

Hey man love the map but I must say something.

Im sorry to say but to be honest this map is amazing in every way possible but the buildings, are just recolored and retextured verisons of already Warcraft 3 orginal buildings, Im not wanting to hate, This game has so much potinental and when I am bored of all the custom games in Warcraft 3 I play it. Now I love the features you put in when you load up the Custom Game and you have a Draenei Symbols at the top and corners, But The buildings man! I love this, I truly do With so much potienal, You need to fix the buildings!

 

[NinjaGaara]

Great map, I wish you could combine your race mods into one game tho

 

[Eltilas]

Great map, I wish you could combine your race mods into one game tho

Yeah. True. Wish that too.

 

[wrath bringer]

I love your theme it fits very well with the Draenei. Adding the lore of the Draenei to the map is cool. The icons are done very well. You did a great job on the custom hero's and there ability's are well balanced and well made. The buildings are very nice designed and looks good. The map is not so unique. My score overhaul for this map is 4/5 you did a great job. +rep

 

[arieladolfo21]

models of your units where you get

 

[Wa666r]

Around the Hive. Some I recolor myself.

 

[arieladolfo21]

draenei model soldier, can you tell me where I can download it or look please

 

[Ian The Red]

I think you should change the archer unit's name to Rangari to better fit with the lore. Not a demand, just a suggestion to improve the lore of one of my favorite maps.

 

[Dinolapin]

Can you explain me how to install your mode ? Thank you ^^

 

[Diegoit]

Does the old buildings had the birth animation? im requesting them :/, if yes, can you provide me them pls?

What do you mean by old buildings?

 

[Diegoit]

What do you mean by old buildings?

 

[Wa666r]

They do not. Those buildings had many animation problems.

 

[Unregret]

Huge update. This will keep us busy for a while. Now the race is closer to Protoss's technique in Starcraft, especially structuring parts. Good way to go.

 

[Wa666r]

Now I seriously have update the UI though.

 

[Unregret]

We need more responses from people to see if they prefer this new changes or not. Because i'm going to update this race inside the project and definitely need your help, Wa666r.

 

[Kyrbi0]

I think three melee units is a good amount; considering that they are all different and provide separate support.

(I don't know if you've changed it with such a big update recently, but either way)

Well, I'm not saying it's impossible to happen or make work... But be careful that each of the four standard factions (except for one), have only 2 melee ground combat units (so ignoring workers and aerial melee units). The only exception to that are the Orcs, who have the Grunt, Tauren, and Raider. However, no one trains Tauren & Raiders are technically Siege units (I.e. Not meant to be used in combat).

I don't know for certain if there is a reason for that (I have my suspicions), but it's fair to say you should try to avoid it.

 

[gendac]

how do i mine with the workers?

 

[Wa666r]

how do i mine with the workers?

If you read the tooltips. Build a Blessed Gold Mine on the Goldmine. Then harvest like acolytes do.

i see thanks man

 

[Kyrbi0]

Good to see this out!

 

[Wa666r]

I know right! Me too.

Good to see this out!

 

[fantocan]

Hmm...

Where is the true Eredar race?
(what you heathens call "man'ari eredar")


FOR THE LEGION!!!

 

[Nightmare2077]

As promised, I found some time to playtest! Only one game as Lightforged Dr.
Here are my notes (sporadic, sorry; please ask for clarification if you can't understand what I mean). These are in no particular order (these are just thoughts, do not take them necessarily suggestions)

• Goldmine not 'haunted' at race selection? The way I did it in my map (DOC) was to create an Acolyte w timed life of 0.1 secs and 100% transparency, order build Haunted GM, set its constructed progress to 100 (once building starts), give to it the 'sphinx'-based ability that turns the Gmine into the needed type (daemonic in my case).
• Good job with the coloured tooltips (I'm slacking in this department, tho I plant to commit the many hours to it)
• Tree corruption by dem light-wisps on purpose? That them scorching it? Looks a bit weird
• I perosnally hater QWERTY but whatever. I'd prefer it be at least revoked for buildings (I neeeed that A for Altar).
• Cool that you have descriptions at F9 (questlog)
• Map too large for my taste, any plans for making axillary maps?
• I'd say that there are too many abilities That's me flipping your point levied at my races. Tho they are mostly passive/autocast, so its fine. Just a tad contrived to have that many, IMO. It's cool how they all revolve around healing.
• Good job with those icons. I chose to use more vanilla ones, but your's is aesthetically better (I lament the extra work-hours and mapsize, but the call is yours). Some icons could benefit from being softer/less saturated, but that's minor (I could share some tips of what I found to be ez ways to make cool icons if ure interested.)
• Sunshields - T1 unit seem overpowered on paper. But I played fairly crappily and got justly destroyed by an easy AI - which is good. So Sunshileds/race definitely isn't crazily unbalanced.
• Centurions have carry slots despite no backpack? Same with 'codo-riders' (forgot the name).
• Tooltips say 'capable against' - I'm not sure that's entirely correct grammatically but I may be wrong.
• Divine Beacon - a free passive in addition to autocast? (ambiguous tooltip)
• Golden Reservoir has the soundset of Farm? That intentional?

Here's my replay, in case you're interested (I obv suck, as mentioned above).


Goodjob overall. I know how much effort goes into custom races, yours is indeed of high quality.
Any campaigns coming out soon?

 

[ceredwyn]

I can't play it

 

[MogulKahn]

Damn, can't test them because of the patch requirements...

- That goldmine acolyte tactic i might have to try. Stupid blizzard stuff being stupid. Replacing the goldmine with a blessed goldmine at start causes the entire goldmine to die if destroyed.
- I love my colored tooltips wish blizzard had the same.
- the tree corruption is another one of those blizzard quirks i cant fix. since the builder is in the undead category it is the only way to create a "haunted' gold mine, but it also forces all tree harvest to cause the blight effect.
- I personally ADORE the QWERT system, makes me wish blizzard had it own customize tooltip system
- Its possible to create a new map. The reason it's large is so that players can experience T3.
- I guess the ability thing is a personal preference. I hated how blizzard had such limited amount of abilities.
- I go overboard with icons, I hardly enjoy reusing the vanilla icons, in fact, I kinda detest it
- If anything comes off as "Overpowered" its just Funbalanced
- Centurions space was overlooked. Oops.
- I'd say its grammatically correct.
- What do you mean Divine Beacon is a passive?
- The farm soundset was also ovrelooked. double oops.


I always wanted to create a mini-campaign (say like three missions or so) per faction that I have. However, I hate working on the cinematics and triggers involving quests and such. Also not a huge fan of creating maps/terrain.

 

[Wa666r]

I can't help you with that. A lot of the core abilities require things added from the updates.

That is why our factions would be vastly different haha.

This version is meant to be played on the latest version of Warcraft 3. Playing with any other version will cause issues.

Make sure you're on the latest version of wc3

Nice work.Will you remake dark iron and make Zandalari trolls?

The Dark Iron Clan I do want to update, but the Trolls... I'm not a huge fan of that idea.

 

[Unregret]

The Trolls

Maybe Lizardmen, Dragonspawn or Quill-boar. There are so many good models for them now.

 

[DjoleKG]

Nice one mor thing will you make all your rase in one map ? Sry for bad eng.

Maybe use this model for that basic ranged unit instead of that one with Satyr skin? Draenei Rangari

That model just looks a bit off to me.

esta muy bien el mapa

 

[olvenmage]

Hey, I wanted to make a Draenai race too, but the only models I could find were "Broken" buildings, while I am really looking for the crystal ones you're using in this pack too. I was just wondering, did you create the models (the structures) yourself? If not, where did you get them from? Because they look absolutely stunning!

Great pack nontheless

Which ones in particular were you looking at?
Some models I've obtained from other race makers.

I see that was not in updated version lol, but now I can't play. I try to enter the map but go to menu again.
