Alright,

Hi, I'm Derrick_Mace, a Warcraft World Editor enthusiast. I used to be the biggest fan of this website over a year or two ago, but then real life made me busy as hell, and I forgot about this.

I came back to The Hive Workshop in a mostly fruitless quest to find the maps I found when I first came by. Seeing most maps are at least a year old, I hardly remember their names, and I spend a lot of time just going through the archives to read descriptions in hopes of finding what I'm looking for.

There's this game, designed mostly as a AoS or DotA, but it used General Frank's blood elf models, namely the paladin, archer, and swordmaster. The map used an Ashenvale tile, and had these elementals which switched teams whenever a character destroyed their core. I remember that the rock and fire elementals were at the scourge/burning legion/evil dudes, while the water (and something else) was on the blood elf/alliance/good dudes side.

I know that's a generally poor lead, but other than that, I can only say that it was very artistically done, and it was very memorable. I hope someone could help me find it.

And there is this other RPG, which is coded from A to Z in JASS. Really impressive coding, and it involved this guy who was teleported to an old
man's house (who lives with his daughter or granddaughter). It played like an RPG, and I think the overarching backstory is that the hero is part of a knighthood or...something.

...Egh, yes, introductions. I hope that's all. That is why I'm here. The Hive Workshop was a great resource for me when I started out, and I'm glad I finally actually crawled out of the woodwork and spoke out a bit. :)

Greetings derrick_mace and Welcome to THW community!

Nice introduction, but unfortunately I don't know names of this map so I can't help you about that! But don't worry we will find someone who know!

Now let me present this awesome site to you :D

The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:
Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

Also
about maps:

If you decide to create map please check some tutorials first!
For unfinished maps, use Map Development forum! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

Once when you create awesome map, and upload it to site, guys like me will check them and give suggestions, hints and so on! :thumbs_up:

Thanks, Kobas. I'll continue searching for that darn map, but great of you to give me hope. *smile*

It must have had the word 'guardian' in the title. I think I'll start with that. Until then. :D
