Naga Projects

[VeljkoM]

Duno if I should say this here but I decided to make a custom race for contest based of Followers of Leviathan.

 

[Chaos.]

Your making the race from you story, sweet. And ya this would be the right place since it is a project.

 

[VeljkoM]

But they are kinda scum that gathered in hope that they will be able to challenge Naga Empire. The only real advantage is their colonies in Eastern continent and the fact they serve Leviathan.

I have ideas about units and all but lack of good models is problem. No buildings and to many units will share animation.

 

[Chaos.]

Make buildings, using attachments.

 

[varsaigen]

perhaps their limited magiks were boosted by the Leviathen's enchanted items? Besides, the Murlocs managed to create Golems on their own! Not many races can pull that off!

 

[VeljkoM]

Aren't golems dwarven constructions and how would they be useful underwater where murlocs fight?

And actually I do intend to give Leviathan item but abilities aren't problem. I just hope that coral buildings won't be ugly.

 

[varsaigen]

well, i dunno. But it requires magics of the arcane typically. But in the Warcraft 3 demo, they are shown using golems. Its the mission where Thrall saves the Trolls from their demise on a sinking island. :/ They upset a Sea Witch They freed her sacrifices. (murlocs sacrificing anything alive to her)

 

[VeljkoM]

Right I forgot about them. But they also had any underground minions like sludge things, skeletons, some elves too in that campaign. I think that they are more loyal to Sea Witch rather then Leviathan.

What magic do murlocs use anyway?

 

[varsaigen]

there weren't any elves. Though there were human captives

 

[Misha]

murloc magic?? chaotic arcane. like of the well of eternity

 

[varsaigen]

basically :/ And they loved their envenomed weapons

 

[VeljkoM]

I am not sure about that. Hydra already has poison spit. Also Misha they have decided to put you on "to kill list" because you made so many model of Naga. Death Knights and Blade masters are decimating their numbers.

 

[Misha]

as soon as i complete my proto-naga not even their thoughts will be safe

 

[VeljkoM]

As soon as they free Leviathan (aka Helions youngest bro) naga will be the one who won't be safe.

 

[Chaos.]

@Misha or Var, or any other modeler for that matter - this is going to sound confusing but i will try to explain it the best i can. When you make a terrain and turn the cam side ways, the further something is from the camera the more color and detail it looses. Like if i were to place a doodad (like a rock or something) right up to the cam it would appear cleary. But if I were to place that same doodad as far away from the camera as possible it would loose all its detail and become one solid color. But with particles like smoke or fire, it remains the same color and has the same amount of detail. It doesn't blend with the fog like a rock or building would. Is there a way to make particles so that the further they are from the camera, the more it blends in with the fog?

If you have no idea what im talking about then just say so, and i will post a pic for you.

 

[varsaigen]

honestly, I have no idea. But perhaps you can add a cloud effect? Or a darkness effect around the object. You could perhaps ask a terrainer like ~Void~ the question. He is a GOD of epic terrains! He's pulled it off before, so you should ask him.

 

[Anachron]

Chaos.
@Anachron - Project added. Sounds interesting. What are the heroes?

Currently only one Dragon Warrior and an Holy Cleric which supports the spawns,...

But I will work on it if I have time.

 

[VeljkoM]

How many heroes have you planed so far?

 

[Misha]

~Void~ is banned, var.. check his page...

and... i'm not sure.. but have you tried lookin' at particles in magos? maybe if you play with the render it might work... but unsure what you might get...

or perhaps you can rig particles to emit models. (particle1 option)

 

[GrandApothecary]

Alright guys im about to not be a lazy ass, procracinator and get this naga race done!
Im finally out of my WoW stage xD
Does anyone know if the AI version is still up?

 

[Chaos.]

@Misha and Var, don't worry about it. I wanted to know for the terraining contest #8 but I just remembered that it has to be uploaded on THW or WC3C. So even if I did make something like that I wouldn't be able to use it. But anyways, check the last page of the terraining contest to see my first WIP.

 

[varsaigen]

~Void~? Banned? Impossible! D: He's the best terrainer ever! What could he ever do to be banned?!?! D:>

Well, he resides mostly on wc3c :/

 

[VeljkoM]

Ah AI...well i was busy in school so i didn't have time to fix a expansion bug...

 

[Anachron]

How many heroes have you planed so far?

5 Individuals.

 

[Misha]

People :3 I think i'm gonna try to make a naga town hall, with 3 tiers. add to projects and wish me luck :3

 

[Chaos.]

Noice. Are you going to make make the other 2 teirs of the temple of tides or are you going to make a new building with 3 teirs? Either one would be awesome. The 2 tiers for ToT would be easier, but a whole new building would be much cooler and probably show more interest to the public.

 

[Chaos.]

Misha- 3 tier town hall added

I also added my Depths of Chaos campaign to the list of current projects. I haven't done any serious work on it yet. Mainly just importing and experimenting with terrain.

 

[Anachron]

People :3 I think i'm gonna try to make a naga town hall, with 3 tiers. add to projects and wish me luck :3

Sounds awesome. I could REALLY need this.

 

[Misha]

I shall work on it in my free time....

 

[VeljkoM]

May I say that Naga main building with 3 tiers is one of the most useful models? Naga race just can't be made without it.

Oh and I'll put my contest map first here so you guys could test it ok?

 

[varsaigen]

and the coral builds up, carved into intricate structures, creating an even larger building, thus, the next tier It ought to end up as a fortress of sorts

 

[VeljkoM]

The "Fortress of Seas"?

 

[varsaigen]

sounds good

 

[VeljkoM]

Well here is my Sea Legion
Let the battle between Ashara and Leviathan begin!

 

[Chaos.]

Testing now. Might not get to reply today though. You never know.

 

[Lore-Wolf]

me 2 testing today

 

[Lore-Wolf]

i like it not that many buildings but i like the units only if you jump with that jumpy guy and while he's flying upgrade him he fly's on the ground
maybe make it not a fly but a storm attack like its always going over the ground or something. and if you've upgraded it and then upgrade your murloc it cant jump any more 3:

 

[Misha]

took the map for testing Veljo :]

 

[Misha]

hmm.. lookin' good.

but:

1: more heroes
2: smaller drakes
3: tad smaller buildings
4: more upgrades
5: shop
6: can i has a Leviathan spawnling? ^w^

 

[Chaos.]

Lore-Wolf - It says in the "Upgrade to Fanatic" that it looses the Jump ability.

Misha - Mini race comepetion (only one hero allowed.) and shops aren't required and he can only have 8 buildings so he couldn't put one in.

This is where you seperate the pro race creators from the noobs (testing that is) hehe just kidding.

Average race with fitting model and icon choices. But your race lacks unique wood/gold/building systems. Every race should have atleast one of those 3 systems. Your race has the basic orc style harvesting and build systems, making your race a little boring.

Your race lacks upgrades. you only have 9 upgrades. You should add in an upgrade for your ranger unit. Also give the secondary barracks units some upgrades (drake, turtle, hydra)

 

[Chaos.]

A few of your icons are wrong. Research magic has a passive icon, yet it is an upgrade. Sacred aura should have a passive icon, yet it doesn't. Makrura Shell should have a passive upgrade, but doesn't. Also the builder's Build Sea Sanctuary tool tip says that it has been blessed by Leviathan or something like that and does some sort of effect which I can't remember atm. You should add in a passive icon in the Sea Sanctuary just to let people who don't read all tool tips know the effect that it causes.

Tool tip errors.

Builder >> Sea Sanctuary - You wrote "blesed", missed an "s" (blessed). Leviathans should be possessive (Leviathan's)

Builder >> Training Camp - "upgrade" should be plural

 

[Chaos.]

Builder >> Sea Tower - Name says "Upgrade to guard tower"

Builder >> Temple the Leviathan - "Also contains spell upgrades for Murloc Ritualists, Mur'gul Snarecasters and Magic Shell." The wording just sounds wrong. You make it sound like Magic shell is a unit. It would sound better to say "Also contains spell upgrades for Murloc Ritualists, Mur'gul Snarecasters and Makrura Deepseer."

Training Camp >> Research Jump - "warrior" should be plural. (Enables Mur'gul Warriors..)

Training Camp >> Research Sign of Fanatic - "...He gains increased attack and HP while looses on speed and jump ability." To me that sounds incorrect. Should be "Increases his attack and hit points, but decreases movement speed and he looses the jump ability.

 

[Chaos.]

Training Camp >> Train Makrura Defender - Says "Hire" instead of "Train".

Training Camp >> Train Murloc Ranger - "Light ranged amphibious" Unfinished tool tip. Add "unit" to the end of that.

Temple of the Leviathan >> Train Murloc Ritualist - "Can initially cast Heal Flow (Healing Wave), which increases the life of wounded units.." should say "Restores hit points of wounded units"

Hero ability >> Reincarnacion - says "...Tauren Chieftain..."

Hope this is enough info.

 

[Anachron]

Anyone has naga models which are not at this site?

 

[Lore-Wolf]

Quote "Lore-Wolf - It says in the "Upgrade to Fanatic" that it looses the Jump ability."

Chaos i can read >.<
but still if you upgrade him while jumping well then he doesn't jump any more. and if you upgrad you see the icon of the opsidian

Anachron, no i think not.

 

[Misha]

hmm.. i see i was a bit useless here... lol..
i'll just stick to my models x3

but i'd rly want to see a leviathan spawnling as part of the forces...

 

[Chaos.]

@Anachron - Shamanyouranus made a CnP ruins catapult awhile. It looked great imo but was rejected for being CnP.

 

[Misha]

That was rejected? D: CURSE You mods! ^>o^<

 

[Lore-Wolf]

aww they want to remove the naga race form the hive! drown em!

 

[Chaos.]

Ya, it was awesome but it did violate the rules. But then when he tried to post it in the skin and 2d art or whatever forum, the mods killed him for it. Something like "This is not a place to store your rejected skins." or something like that.
