Im thinking of becoming a mapper, and so am starting small. No need for custom models/skins, starting a project just for fun. Anyone can come, the plan is something like this.
We create a world like outland, with 2 factions fighting it out for dominance, and a building (possibly portal control tower/teleportation device) to escape the destroyed world. Im trying to create something completely outside the warcraft lore.
So we will have Humans,Elves(highelf model), Dwarves on the Light side
And Orcs, Undead, and dark elves (night elf model) on the Darkness.
Each side will have buildings laid out, with the land divided into 2 continents. Leave space in the middle for a possible naval expansion.
Big fighting on one continent, with 4 bases for each side, other smaller continent has 1 base each side. Small continent gives bonus gold, big one is the main objective.
Mission: Either capture the portal in the middle to 'escape this doomed world' (mana drain ability, either add or reduce. With a little editing they do not require mana to cast, neither do they transfer any. In short its a channeling manaburn without the damage, or a reverse manaburn)
OR completely capture the enemy towns. Each race will have a capital and a town. Troops spawn from all towns, for the owner of the towns. towns cant be destroyed but can be captured by the above method.
So we have 4v4 on the 'objective continent' and 2v2 on the 'resource bonus continent'.
Units will be heroes, each can have 4 food worth of units.
Standard infantry - 1 food, has ability to summon 2 allies, at ay time (lasts 5 min, cooldown 5 min) and a extremely short ranged 'phalanx' aura that gives units nearby increased armor.
Large units, say dragon, costing 1 or more food, without the 'perma summon' spell, so its on its own.
Buy items for your troops, which either affect everyone (auras) or only affects the 'captain' or squad leader, so as in the case of the standard infantry, the 2 summons wont get the powerup.
Anyone interested in developing this map?
Theres no modelling required, just that I alone dont have the time to make it well, so we need 2 or more folks to form a guild and promote/improve on it.
