Quel'Thalas

View attachment 8626Quel'Thalas



Maker: Rage321


This map is a slight mod on Warcraft III, mainly on the human race and nuetral heroes. It changes the human race to Blood Elves, giving them different heroes, except for Blood Mage, and changing the units to more Blood Elf appropraite units and buildings. Possibly other maps later, featuring other arces and heroes, etc. Explore Quel'Thalas, Zul'Aman, and the Sunwell Plateau.


New Heroes

Downloading it now, I'll give my rate of it when I've played it.

**EDIT**

Ok, these are a few errors I noticed on one run.

1. It says "Train Hawktrider", I think you meant Hawkstrider?
2. There's alot of green icons whilst you upgrade or don't meet the required requirements.
3. When I upgraded "Improved Masonry", I got a red portrait background on the building for the rest of the game.
4. "Phoenix Flame's" buff says "Rain of Fire", and not "Phoenix Flame".
5. The spell "Teleportation's" third level in the learn section says "Level 3 - 1 second cooldown, 10 ma", missing "na" at the end.
6. Poison Arrows doesn't cost mana.
7. Hostile mobs had random angles. At some places there was too many high level mobs guarding gold mines.
8. The Tavern at the northeast corner is bad placed.
9. The Workshop doesn't allow any upgrades on the Ballista.

 

[Tankass]

Just a couple of small things with it, nothing bad though, i liked it alot when it was tested

Fix the Enchantress Teleportation tooltip. It says it takes 50 mana and a 10 second cooldown on the tooltip, but it has a longer cooldown than that.

Other than that, maybe add a couple more creeps? Like add in a actual Zul'Aman (use your imagination i guess heh) or a large troll area, etc.

Other than that maybe a little more ground texture and i think you really have a good map going here, nice job so far

 

[rage321]

added updated version of the map!

What else would you like to see in this map that I don't have?

 

[Darkey]

Don't double post. There's an Edit button.

Maybe you could put a thief/rogue like blood elf at the tavern?

 

[rage321]

That will be for a different map, if I decide to make it.

 

[Tankass]

id suggest putting custum heros in the tavern, and like i said before have like events, large bosses like deatholme maybe? and other cool, exciting stuff

 

[Kjiverx]

minor point-if it's qeulthalas then they're high elves. all the blood elves are in draenor. ALL
downloading now
edit: okay, i've played it. the rain of fire thing is still there. but hawkstriders are fixed. eagle riders have a flak cannon upgrade-wtf?

the high elves were slain from arthas's scourge. And if you read the lore it states that the remaining high elves/elves in general named themselves the blood elves

The blood elves, or sin'dorei ("Children of the Blood" in Thalassian), are a race composed of former high elves who renamed themselves in honor of their people that were killed during the siege of Quel'Thalas by the Scourge during the Third War. The blood elves of Azeroth have joined the Horde in the Burning Crusade expansion, seeking to reunite with Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider in Outland. Their capital is Silvermoon City situated in the Eversong Woods, the heart of their reclaimed and restored homeland.

 

[Kjiverx]

the high elves were slain from arthas's scourge. And if you read the lore it states that the remaining high elves/elves in general named themselves the blood elves

WoW lore is nothing...it's spawn of satan/thrall... both equally evil
WoW has no lore.

 

[THE_END]

Blood Elves are not all in Outland
Back to the map though
Two words for you:Custom abilties
All the heroes have mostly abilities from other heroes
That= lame
And make the elves one type! You got high elves and blood elves in there!

 

[rage321]

update!


Shadow Weaver (Agile Hero)
These former rangers had the tenacity to stay in this life as spirits, using the powers of darkness against their enemies.

Abilites: Flurry, Unholy Aura, Shadow Walk, and Shadow Weave


also added some abilities to other heroes and more doodads, fixed a few things also.

edit: I am thinking possibly of changing the Shadow Weaver to some kind of Revenant or different ghost, seems to much like Dark Ranger right now.

 

[Darkey]

Revenants are not very much for agility in my point of view.

 

[Kjiverx]

Revenants hover. consider the implications of the verb "to hover"

 

[THE_END]

..right
So rage you also have to add more variation to the ghostlands area.
Maybe add fog effects to the differant regions?

 

[rage321]

Update!

 

[Tankass]

i want to see this map get really good! its a great idea, like before, make alot more like custum abilities even for the wc3 heros. and maybe add in world bosses that have custum items and such

 

[THE_END]

Just checked the update
But I still think you should sort the hero models and buildings more
Some models do not have portraits
Some buildings have problems with them
There are high elves and blood elves STILL mixed together
Consolidate it all to Blood Elves

 

[rage321]

What units are High Elven that should become Blood Elven?

 

[High-Elven Prince]

Hi, decent map.
The terrain isn't very interesting, add more doodads and make it so it isn't flat.

PS Where did you get all the models for the elven buildings? I would love them for my campaign.

 

[rage321]

I got them from wc3campaigns.net, but the site is working right now. They are by SinisterX.

 

[High-Elven Prince]

Would you please be able to send them to me? I would be very thankful.

 

[THE_END]

The one Sorceress hero
Last I checked, she was High Elf
And alot of the buildings are High Elf, that roost is one of the major ones

 

[rage321]

Ok, update! Changed the Enchantress model and added more doodads.

 

[Tankass]

i see this map is moving right along well. only suggestion now is perhaps to make the terrain is little better. there are a good amount of doodads, but add in small forests, enviorment doodads and cliff heights

also weather effects and more interesting creeps instead of murlocs, which arent in northern lordaeron that much

 

[Darkey]

There is room for alot of improvements yet to come regarding the terraining.

1. You need alot more tile variation.
2. Make good use of the raise/lower tool on the terrain, but don't overdo it.
3. Some areas are still empty. Fill them with some doodads that are appropiate for that specific area.
4. Don't make roads that are made of one straight line. Make it look more realistic.

 

[rage321]

Do you mean the road'o'death through the center of Quel'Thalas? That road is supposed to be like that; It's the Dead Scar, the place Arthas marched down through Quel'Thalas.

Update!

 

[Hawkwing]

The Dead Scar is not straight. And it's really bumpy at some parts. It is higher up at the ghostlands and starts lowering down more as it goes closer it Silvermoon.

Zul'Aman paths are really straight in your map, it looks un-realistic, and Zul'Aman looks like Zul'Gurub but in more of a Eversong/Lordaeron Style.

You could use some more doodads in most areas too.

Anyways I love the idea. It's cool and I think with some editing it will become really good. Good luck

 

[rage321]

Updated the map! I added some bridges, more doodads, made Zul'Aman roads less straight, and added some new heroes!

 

[Hawkwing]

Okay I saw the Update. You need some more Doodads still, the Sunwell Plateau needs stone ground not dirt. Zul'Aman is looking better but you need more Troll Huts to make it look more populated. The Undead attack too soon, and the Blood Elf buildings are High Elf not Blood Elf.

Remember guys, you don't need it to be the same as WoW. If you look at the Booty Bay map in Wc3 you can see everything is different but the fact that there is water surrounding the entire place.
- So my conclusion is that Zul'Aman doesn't have to be perfect.

Well your Map is coming along well and I think It could still use some improvment. But anyways good job keep up the good work.

 

[THE_END]

I'm bout to check it, and I'll give ya hero/unit feedback
