Well I am working on a project called:
The Lands at War, but Im having some trouble finding a model I need.

So I have given myself a new task to make a map that me and my 5 pals that are coming and brining their computers to my place where we will be all alone for 36 hours and play computer games while waiting for the new year to come.

So I started to work on a map about 3 hours ago, done all the terraining and now I am working on the abilities and heroes.

If someone has some good ninja like hero models pls post them here, thank you

Now for the abilities. Every hero will have like a special skill and two more abilities (which makes it 3 in total) and for the other 3 abilities they would be learned by the Yudoshi the Master of Ninjitsu (corect me if I spelled it wrong). So I need like a whole bunch of abilities made for my map to be unique with every hero.

Post your ability suggestions here, and btw no JASS Dont know how to work Jass.

Thank you for your time

I have a few "typical ninja" suggestions;

- Throw ninja star.
- Hide.
- Jump.
- Evasion.
- Decoy.

I'll try and think of more.

well real historical ninjas where acutly boring compared to fantasy standerds. so yea go with dublicate,shrunken barrage,make them be able to jump from hights to hights, be able to disguise themselfs as trees or rocks, blind power(not sure what you would call it just have it so it reduces players site radaius so they have a hard time seeing people). what else basicly watch niratuo for all your fantasy ninja spells lol. a couple of more advanced spells i can think of is combo style ultimates like massive decoys attacking from all directions, a slow down that forces every unit acccept the caster. I could go on forever I might make you some spells if I have time but the best way to learn is try some yourself.

A good model (IMO) would be the one people know as Ronin. Not really the ninja style but still...
You can get it here.

DO NOT import the textures RibbonBlur1.blp, Red_Glow3.blp or Tornado2b.blp. They already exist in game and are not needed.

A backstab skill might be nice, but take note though that ninjas were in fact honorable warriors and never attacked from behind...then again who cares, its just a wc map.

Here are some tricky spells when i made ninjas in warcraft a way back...
1. Dota's Doppelwalk...cant go wrong here
(given dat ur hero has any sort of clone making spell):
2. ability to switch places with clone with no art to confuse enemies
3. blink with edited art to look like a clone dying...(so when u blink, enemy thinks ur a clone dat just expired)
4. Permanent stealth ability based on morphing to a unit with ghost ability (so u can still attack while stealth)
5. My personal favorite of all tricky spells...Phaseshift that uses the clone expiration art...so when u get hit, u poof out like a clone and hopefully players will confuse you with one. (people dnt use phaseshift much) Almost all my maps have this spell.

Btw, the naruto map has little real "classic" ninja spells...the abilities they have there are barely what a real ninja has (which is more of confusing the enemy, as a real ninja should be able to do). What they have there, like the anime/manga series, are not wat on would classify as ninja spells (save for the genjitsu). C'mon ninjas with impale and lightning attack? Then they are not ninjas any more...just regular wc3 heroes with the string "ninja" in their hero name.....

LOL no way dude ninjas where made so warlords could have soldiers that didn't fight honnorable lol. backstabbing was there specialty. they where well not equal to how kings recruited peasents so they could kill nobals easier.
