Hero Contest #4 - Discussion

[Pharaoh_]

So many contests, yet the Hero ones are still on number 4. Let's push that

Suggestions:

• Cartoon: Create a hero of a cartoon series. The spells don't have to be exclusively funny.

• Civilization: The hero's concept must derive from an ancient civilization.

• Starcraft: The hero's concept will either belong to the Starcraft universe or has to be mechanical(tech)-themed.

• Animal Hero: Self-explanatory, create a hero of animal nature.

• World of Warcraft: Create a hero that fits the racial and behavioral philosophy of the said game.

• Unity: Create a hero with multiple clones (1+) with their abilities linked to each other's (e.g. Meepo from DotA).

• Other: Discuss.

*The rules won't change during the contest
*The rules are listed in the first post

 

[Pharaoh_]

Lol.

Anyway, Ancient Civilization sounds really good.

I like that too (wonder why ).

STARCRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT :3

I want to make Überlisk.

If I dont watch cartoons, I dont have Starcraft (so I dont know a heck about what spells are there), and I an not familiar with ancient civilizations? Then I am screwed? Need other ideas as faster you can guys.

My brain can't function at all last week so I dont have even a small lazy idea.
Meaby this will change though.

How about:
-Create an animal WarCraft hero?

 

[Pharaoh_]

See I don't find it attractive, an animal to be called a hero (in Warcraft III terms). But, that's an option, I'll add it on the list :]

 

[Orcnet]

I'll definitely join your contest Pharaoh! when will it start? can't wait!

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's still under dicussion, but it will be hosted soon. Good to know that you are up to participating.

How bout an elemental hero? Heroes must somehow involve elemental powers. Maybe you make a shaman hero that has a different spell for every element, maybe you make a fire mage who has all fire spells, maybe you make a tauren melee hero with earth spells, etc.

I also like animal hero as long as it doesn't mean that the hero has to BE an animal but rather simply be animalistic. For example, Rexar isn't an animal but he is very close to nature and all his spells have to do with summoning or controlling animals.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Elemental hero is really, really common, on a disgusting level; I am honestly tired of seeing elemental spells

Animal hero, both of what you mentioned can work as a concept, it would be too limiting otherwise.

 

[Skycraft]

Financial heroes to help you save money. Just an idea.

 

[Elvendan]

I am for the "Civilization" option. That might be cool.

 

[Tleno]

I caught a Starcraftosis desease, so I definetly vote for anything Starcraft related.

 

[Pharaoh_]

I caught a Starcraftosis desease, so I definetly vote for anything Starcraft related.

I'm mostly oriented to this as well.

 

[Raven0]

bumping because I have some free time for the next two weeks and i'd like to get this started.

I personally like the primal animal idea. Animal-themed heroes are general enough that people won't feel restrained but specific enough that the contest still has a notable theme.

 

[Pharaoh_]

We need more people to show interest, then I'll make a poll :]

 

[Skycraft]

.. Bumping for thread justice.

 

[Orcnet]

Starcraft looks good to me, but the animal concept is so promising , well I'll just pic starcraft instead )

 

[-Kobas-]

Vote for Civilization!

 

[Tleno]

I'd say civilization is intresting theme, but it some more understandable limits. I mean, do you have to base it on specific civilization and era, must it be real nation or some made-up?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Civilization should definitely have a realistic background, because ultimately, you are going to build up a race, and, in our case, civilization and race are equal.
It could be Maya, Egypt, Rome, Greece, Aztecs, Medieval times, Prehistoric times, anything historic.

 

[Wandering Soul]

I got an Idea! How about an Creep hero, in other words the hero must not belong to any of these following race;

01) Human
02) Dwarf (Ironforge, Dark-Iron, Wildhammer)
03) Elf (High, Night, Blood)
04) Gnome
05) Eredar & Draenei
06) Orc (Normal, Fel)
07) Troll (Island, Jungle/Forest, Frost/Ice, Dark)
08) Tauren
09) Worgen
10) Undead
11) Goblin


There are so many of these racial heroes available in ' The Hive Workshop'. It would be nice to see more heroes beside the list above being made. So what do you think?

 

[-Kobas-]

Awesome idea as well

 

[Tleno]

That would be really intresting.

Also, I was currently somewhat thinking, and what about making WoW-based heroes? I mean, you can make both heroes based on WoW characters or WoW classes.

Or, what's even more itresting, you have to create a character based on a non-Warcraft universe. You know, it can be based on other game, on spome movie, on book - on whatever you like. Just no warcraft. I'm just a bit worried that we might get spamazorded with anime characters then. But whatever, I mean, if people like those, they can make those too. Besides, this would give a lotm of freedom of creativity. Like a lot. And we do have lots of models and such based on non-Warcraft characters, too.

 

[Miss_Foxy]

What about a Villain or Combo Hero (Heroes that come as a pair or with three of them, with interlinked spells) theme?

 

[SA Dashie]

hmm... might join depending on theme, this is gonna be interesting

 

[Pharaoh_]

I've updated the list and I don't plan to increase it further, because we will never conclude to the actual theme. I think the list is pretty variant right now

 

[-Kobas-]

Click on thread tools and add poll then
Allow us to vote for few options and after week or 2 pick winner. Others ideas can be used for another contest after this one

 

[Pharaoh_]

Ok, let us see your votes then :>

 

[mckill2009]

I love animals specially those powerful ones like lions, bears wolves...so, animalistic!

 

[Lich Prince]

Pharaoh, you filthy traitor.

 

[-Kobas-]

So what will be:
Ancient Civilization or Animalistic

 

[Skycraft]

The poll isn't over yet

 

[Tleno]

Still, it seems there are two possible candidates...
Hmmm, I myself hope it's gonna be Civilization there. Kinda more intresting than animals. On other hands, civilization isn't an exactly clear them, animalistic sounds more easier to understand...
