@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? ) something modern don't mix too well. An overall uniformity to the models, and the names, will score you extra points I believe

 

[supertoinkz]

well, the bow shoots Lazors

 

[VeljkoM]

Maybe you should download some Tech elves models. I am sure that some Warhammer fan made at least one elf model.

 

[Saia_Djinn]

Ay I'm sorry guys but i will not be able to finish this because i underrated the time school needs again =(

 

[baassee]

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.

 

[Kercyn]

I like your attitude! And, to avoid flamming in this nice forum, you can say a big <anti-flamming link> to everybody that pisses you off )

 

[phoenixfire]

Could I participate in this contest by making a wolf-like race?

 

[JokeMaster]

I want to start too!
I'm coming wiht the old Horde
I'll post some screens in some days...

 

[Mechanical Man]

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?
Yea, I have a few cool ideas for such a race, when I find time I'll expand on those ideas and create them
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

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 ), and hope to create if not the winning race, a race well worth playing that will surely entertain some of yo'

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?

 

[Wazzz]

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

@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 )

 

[Zpider]

I want to join, I want to create a forest troll race!

 

[RED BARON]

I want to join, I want to create a forest troll race!

Hmm making a race like that it will be hard to come up with something new... as its been done again and again.

 

[Wazzz]

@Zpider: Dude, I already just said that I was going to do that, did you just decide to do it based on my choice or what?

@RED BARON: As for my take on the Forest Trolls, I have something rather different planned already (but want to make some more unique adjustments to them )

 

[phoenixfire]

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.

 

[Wazzz]

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.

 

[Zpider]

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.

 

[RED BARON]

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

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 ).

 

[leet.firefox]

Is anyone doing a bandit race?
If not I'll totally do that.

 

[Dreadnought[dA]]

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.

 

[Wazzz]

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)

 

[supertoinkz]

guys, I MIGHT quit cause there are problems hard to explain (fuck school)
I'll try my best to complete it in time (im still optimizing tooltips)

 

[Wazzz]

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 )

 

[RED BARON]

School. The biggest killer of projects.

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

 

[Kercyn]

Yeeeeeeeah! I designed my race during school hours!!!

 

[Wazzz]

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

 

[Wraithling]

"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."

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

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.

 

[supertoinkz]

I decided to finish my hero first (well yeah, the chance will be wasted when I quit )

 

[Wazzz]

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

Lol, yea, the flaw in my story . Well, as long as this contest is about races, I'll worry about that... maybe never? lol

Yea, the fun factor will hopefully be through the roof lol, providing I do things 100% well

 

[AIagremm]

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.

 

[Zpider]

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.

 

[supertoinkz]

this thread is spammed up so I can't search the trigger for replacing units, pm me plz
(the one I ordered to replace the town halls)

 

[AIagremm]

They do not change. The trolls who travelled to other parts of the world from Zandalar, changed their color according to the environment. Its kinda different.

 

[Zpider]

I said:
"Forest trolls change skin colour depending on the environment"

You said:
"The trolls... changed their color according to the environment"

 

[AIagremm]

Hm... no matter. However you were speaking of something more like a quick adoptation.

 

[VeljkoM]

You release that Forest Trolls are sub race of Trolls and they keep their colors. It took ages to create their skin color of each sub race of Trolls (but I don't get why are island trolls blue?).

 

[AIagremm]

No one gets that. All jungle trolls(island trolls are jungle trolls actually) have blue color, which is weird. WCII green troll colour, be da natural troll color, mon!

 

[Statharas]

Mind i say, that the blue colored trolls live near the sea or lakes. Some Jungle trolls are green, because they live too far in the forests.

 

[AIagremm]

Thus, they became forest trolls.

 

[X-OMG-X]

Please stay to the topic..
There are 36 pages of offtopic posts.

 

[pippo]

Well I made my race by 90%...
To finish:
-Hero spells
-Some upgrades
Ah, i make a troll race, too, and they are mainly forest trolls...there are blue-colored skin trolls, too, i dunno hjow they are called...I didn't make any ice troll for respect of who make the ice-troll skin...

 

[AIagremm]

I made a research in WE.
I put ice troll units with no tinting next to island trolls, and found out that their skins are identical! So you can use ice troll models for island trolls.

 

[Freyleyes]

Almost done, just need to add some finishing touches. Good Luck to every one still participating.

 

[xxdingo93xx]

I think I'm gonna post my remaining TODO list.

- Make the Hero
- Make Spells for Hero
- Make a few more upgrades
- Make some more spells for units
- Determine Resource Costs/Cooldown/etc.

Priorities:
Green = Minor Major Priority
Yellow = Average Priority
Red = Lower Priority

Edit:
Sry for my brilliant english knowledge xD

 

[leet.firefox]

Lower priority?
Red seems more of a high priority color.

 

[Ghost765]

dingo has no high priorities D:
as for me, i have yet to start on the Armored Regiment...too lazy, plus shitloads of hw. ill get it done, just need to snoop around and find a few models

 

[xxdingo93xx]

Lower priority?
Red seems more of a high priority color.

My priorities just represent which task will be done first

 

[Wazzz]

Oi, Ghost, got some screenies? Looks like you posted some eariler, but they're not appearing anymore :S
