@supertoinkz: Your race is Mecha Elves, but whether you intended or not the units & buildings resembles the night elves too much. Try setting your race apart in some way, not just in models but in style. Imho, I think having a bow wielding elf and another elf holding (is it a gun? o_O) something modern don't mix too well. An overall uniformity to the models, and the names, will score you extra points I believe :D

I pissed off right now 'cause my RL is pissing me off, first I lost my friend before the summer, it went all nice when I returned to THW and such but I haven't released a new spell in a while, haven't been very much active even if it seems so (I'm reallly really more active when I'm active)

Now I got some problems IRL and yes pissing me off and I wont leave hive again cause I'm going to finish this damn contest first, maybe I wont work for the next 2 weeks but I will still have a few days to work the shit out of myself to kick off this race. Period.
 
Hm... I think I might try entering this contest myself, how do I go about doing that?
I'm thinking of an Insectoid race, perhaps the name will be... Insectoid? :p
Yea, I have a few cool ideas for such a race, when I find time I'll expand on those ideas and create them :p
EDIT: I'm now tossing up between this idea and another idea, so I'll get back to you on what race I want to do. So, I guess my main point is that I want to know how to enter this contest :p

EDIT: Okay, I'm settling for the Forest Trolls. They're going to include Forest Trolls (well duh), some Voodoo-Worshipping-Little-Critters-Who-Resemble-Murlocs-Or-Mur'guls (Thankyou 67Chrome for that wonderful skin, I will credit you respectfully) and all sorts of crazy beasts (figuring those out). So, I have considered what some of the techtree will do (I know there aren't tiers, don't worry about that :p), and hope to create if not the winning race, a race well worth playing that will surely entertain some of yo' :p

No, you won't. You alrady failed the challenge big time, where Em! literally ran over you and you didn't even begin work on it. How do you think you can compete a hive contest then?

Because my workload has been released heavily since yesterday (which was when I posted about thinking of joining). Basically, with the contest I had with Em!, I planned to work on the contest on the weekend because of my workload during the week, but found that I was even busier then than I was during the week. However, now I've got a major assignment out of the way, I am much more free than I was before. However, Em! decided to cancel the contest for the time being (the due date was close by), but we plan to complete our own races at some point to pursue the competition. In the meantime, however, I'm working on this :p

@Supertoinks:
Mobile Ancient of Mana
Mobile Ancient of Life

These models should provide you with a couple extra units (if you choose to pursue a combination of the Night Elves and technology rather than High/Blood Elves and technology :p)

Are there any rules to joining? Do I have to have certain rep or something? If not I would like to make a wolf-like race consisting of 2 branches, Slaves and Masters.
The slaves are wolf-like creatures as opposed to the masters being satyr-like.
In addition to knowing if this is fine I think I read something in the rules that said "All terrian must remain the same." I was wondering if that is indeed true and if trees/varieted grass terrain is restricted.

I think what they mean by that is that you are not allowed to change the terrain itself, why would you want to change it anyway? I'm sure if there is a legitimate reason, though, 67Chrome will consider your proposal, so it's best if you talk to him. But what changes are you talking about anyway?

Because if my race is allowed they will be in a forested area and I would have to change its terrain to a bunch of variations of grass.

Wazz, no I didn't even read your post. Besides its allowed for multiple people to create the same race.

RED BARON, I allrdy have some awesome unique ideas, and boy are they awesome. However my Warcraft is not working at the moment. I guess I have to reinstall the entire thing. The only thing I feel might be a obstacle is the lack of time.

I don't get it - Why do you have to change the terrain because your race lives in the forest? That seems unnecessary, remember a true race can be used in any map.... Could you just make some of the buildings for the race create the environment they require to survive, doing to would also greatly increase the possibilities and maybe make it more unique.

Just saying :wink:

RED BARON, I already have some awesome unique ideas, and boy are they awesome. The only thing I feel might be a obstacle is the lack of time.

I hope both you and Wazz makes it - Curios to see how much you can variate that race (and your awesome unique ideas :smile:).

I was going to do an assassin/bandit race, but I don't really like this contest that much so...

I'll just send you all my ideas.

Dude, doing that is against the rules. As is dictated, there is to be 'no team work'. So, unless 67Chrome says otherwise, please refrain from doing so. Otherwise, I am sure that will only end in the disqualification of leet.firefox (which I don't think he'll be too happy about)
 
School. The biggest killer of projects.

Sorry to hear that, hope you do get your race completed in time :)
BTW, did you get the links I put up for models that may/may not help you? There's also that skin for the High Elf Priest that makes it high tech, I'm sure the skin would apply to the High Elf Peasant as well, but that's prlly about all (unless you look through models that are based on the Priest/Peasant and edit their skin paths), so it's really up to you (as it always will be :p)

Yea I can't count the amount of project ruined by that serial wc3 killer.

But well I also can't count how many improved their work/models/stuff due to school

Touche!

BTW, I'm gonna release some information about my progress now. After some long editing, I found I wasn't entirely happy with the way things were going, and therefore decided to add another sub race to the Forest Trolls. According to Warcraft lore, the Forest Trolls are against everything that they're not neutral with. I think they may even eat each other on occasion. This made thinking of an ally veery interesting indeed. Then, I realized what a true champion of modding would do. A true champion would SCREW THE LORE AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING WACKY, BUT MAKE IT WORK ANYWAY!!

So, I decided on Goblins as a subrace ally. Apparantly the Forest Trolls and the Goblins had some history together, so that inspired me a bit, and I decided that the background story would go that the Merchant Kings have enlisted the Trolls for protection during some battle of LARGE PROPORTIONS, and in return for the favour they formed an alliance. The Merchant Kings in MY LORE do not have strict ties with other Goblin communities, but do often trade with them, making them INFLUENTIAL.

Well, I hope this works, as I plan to make it do so :p

It sounds to me now like the goblins are the main race, and the trolls are the subrace :D

Yea, we can't avoid stuff in RL aye, so try adapting your time if there's a contest going on. For me, I'll have important exams for the first weeks of November, hence I'm finishing my race now to avoid the time restraints.

Trolls and goblins have good ancient relationship. When the goblins werent yet smart, they were used as slaves to the trolls at the island of Kezan. They were made to mine kahzhamite, prescious mineral that trolls used for voodoo. Goblins found out that it made them smarter, so they created powerfull machines and overthrown the trolls.

Wazzz, you seriously thought of making a race consisting soley of forest trolls? There aren't even a troll worker.
Its pretty obvious that one merge forest trolls with goblins.
I mean both have green skins and both look like puny versions of orcs.

I was rather thinking about the WIP. How will I not get influenced by his ideas and the other way around. If I see pics of his village.

Red Baron, "remember a true race can be used in any map"
Forest trolls change skin colour depending on the environment.

I am not about to create a shapeshanger troll race, but I got something else in mind. I just hope I can pull it off.
