I was downloading some tools and i came across the creep rebelion... Just then i got a great idea.. Why dont you make a section on this site where people can post there own races! We could use the program that SantoRayo[iP]used to make his if its ok with him.

I'd like it, and Rui made a good point, I suppose there's no way to have a "total point limit"? Or "auto-calculated cost"? Where, with the former, you're given X points, for the race, and you can spend them on HP, Mana, Abilities, etc. it'd be awsome, but I'm pretty sure that's nigh impossible, and the alternative would be to have a way you create creatures and modify everything but resource costs or bounties, and then the system decides that based on the other perimeters, of course, while it sounds cool too, it's probably really difficult to make that as well, but, if someone could create a program, something like "W3 Unlimited", or other custom editor application, that does that, and than "watermarks" them, putting something in it that doesn't effect gameplay but cannot be removed, and than if one could rig the section so it only allows for races with that mark... But than what of races that are imbalanced for Role-Playing purposes? And regardless, what are the chances someone will really make the program? It's a nice dream, but probably nothing more, anyways, whe have a lot of crud in a lot of other sections, sould we make a race one, I doubt it'd be any different. *sigh*

Perhaps, but people would probably start posting imba ****.

Maybe so, but the races wont have to be balanced with wc3 . Obviously a race with aload of space marines and rockets ect will be iomba compared to ; say, nightelves . If someone posts an imba race, then obviously there will be coments made on it saying it sucks. And besides, someone might want an imba race to have a survival or defense type map.

I'm with the idea, personally, and think it sounds good, but I doubt it will get off the ground. Just like the sounds section was a good idea, but the moderators knew that dumbasses would go round adding stuff like "golddigger" (which is a crap song btw, lol ) and albums, whereas we would need voice things.


There is a part of me that cant help but think that this idea would end up being ruined by idiots, who post a unit with 500 armour, 50000 attack dmg , 0.01 cooldown, armour divine, and last but not least ; with spell " 1337 PWNAGE " where the unit can cast stampede that covers whole map and each unit deals 50000 dmg.
