Race Building Contest #3 - Mini Melee Race

[Wazzz]

Well, I should have a half-decent screeny soon, my race is almost completed =D
Incidentally, where do we submit? And further more, has anyone submitted their final product yet?

 

[Wraithling]

Good to hear you're just about done

And to my knowledge no one has submitted anything remotely related to a final product. Oh and I believe that we submit our stuff on this thread, just like the Phoenix Trial #6, where everyone post their work during the last few days and wish each other luck.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Cool @Wraithling, I wouldn't consider you as a rival of mine; you are someone that might have the same interests in races as me

 

[Wazzz]

GHOSTY FIGHT!!!!!! ><

Lol, sooo many ppl doing Trolls, so many rivals... oh well, I'll just have to make my race super awesome then
So Pharoah_, you gotten started yet? Don't forget to post some screenies when you can =D

 

[Zpider]

I have started to work on my units abilitys. I am far from done, but this is how one of them looks. A very simple trigger might I add.
But I think it gets the job done.

Movie - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=7v31jt

I am currently trying to remember what I used to base my morph spells on.
I have gotten quite far with the icons. Most of them are done.
Including upgrades.

Doubt about Jigraels Python Warrioress

I am beginning to have doubt about Jigrael's Python Warrioress (that I plan to use as hero). Mainly because there are no troll female sounds in the game. I would have to import female troll sounds into the game if I would want that hero to sound properly. But that would take up an extra 653 kb. Space I am unsure I can spare at this point.

Thats an update from me, hows it going for the rest?

 

[Statharas]

The boulder towers don't look that good, since Forest Trolls use lumber. I would suggest that you make Tree Outposts instead. The 6th pic looks like a human lumberjack's house.

 

[Zpider]

Your right, I have changed the looks on the towers. I no longer use boulder towers. But something more towards what you suggested.

Until I find a better replacement for the human looking lumberjack house I will use that one.

Thanks for your opinions.

 

[Statharas]

An Orc Watchtower without the bottom part, attached on a tree is fine...

 

[Cavman]

Well, I think I'll finally throw my lot in here. I am gonna do the Kooshda, from Tlingit Myth. In the myths they are a knid of evil spirit, so the basic concept I'm working with is an evil perversion of the old Tlingit culture. Black Shamans, Breath Stealers, and Wasgos are some of the things I have lined up for them.

 

[The-Rave]

problem!!

i can't use some imported models, it says can't load the models.
-chaos nerubian
-drenei tower
someone help me!!

 

[Pharaoh_]

Here is a WIP:

 

[VeljkoM]

Nice WIP Pharaoh. Reminds me of the Undead from Heroes 5.

And rave did you try to reopen editor?

 

[Wraithling]

@ Pharaoh_: Excellent choice of buildings, good names, and the idea of tinting all your buildings green to give them a collective feel is just pure genius. And for the first time in this contest, I felt a slight tinge of jealousy D:

 

[Pharaoh_]

I'm flattered by your comments *huhu*. I really believe you have done a great job yourself, too. I really liked your Ghost army!

 

[chilla_killa]

Here's a WIP for my Fire Race.

 

[AIagremm]

Impressive. Though the totem could have been smaller.

 

[Stanakin]

I'm seeing some pretty cool races. I especially like the Tuskarr, but that's mostly because they're my favorite WC3 creeps anyway.

I'd really like to enter this one. I'll make a Kobold race if I do, I need that for my map anyway. But that'd mean making a lot of stuff myself, because there's not much Koboldy up for download. I really need to get to work on the Gun Ship texture I'm supposed to be doing, though, among other things, as well...

 

[Mulgrim]

Here's a WIP for my Fire Race.

whoa.

 

[AIagremm]

OMG, Mulgrim! You posted the 666th post! O.O

 

[Mulgrim]

oh crap, i am now the anti-christ of the hive.

 

[Wazzz]

Nice WIPs, people, very good jobs on both Pharoah_'s and chilla_killa's parts =D

Cannot wait to see some of your units, Pharoah_! =D
And chilla_killa, can't wait to see some information on your units

btw, I shall attempt to post another WIP shortly as I am pretty much done and just balancing the race atm, but that all depends on the following:
A) RL can be quite busy at times, and this is one of those times
B) How bothered I feel at the time
C) How much information shall I disclose? Perhaps just enough to cause more interest for my race lol

 

[RED BARON]

OMG, Mulgrim! You posted the 666th post! O.O

Actually his post is post 667 in this tread when I look at it.

But I agree with others and if I make it in time I might post a note of participation in this... might

 

[supertoinkz]

-Lumber system
-"Mana Drain on Friend" system (tnx to Glephnir )

Good luck everyone

Cool, thanks //sorry for spamming the thread

 

[The-Rave]

i think i can post mine on time.. many things to do... school..
good luck for rest of you!

 

[X-OMG-X]

Here's a WIP for my Fire Race.

Your choice of buildings is very simmilar to mine

 

[chilla_killa]

Next WIP

I have now 1 worker 2 Melee Units, 1 Range, 1 High Damage High Range, 1 Air, 1 Hero, 9 Upgrades, 7 buildings.
I'm practically finished, but I want to make it perfectly.
How do I post my final version? Screenshots??

The green cube is the fire tower, somehow it doesn't show, but it works ingame.

 

[mato2]

I might be a tad late but can i join?
race will be The Watchers

 

[AIagremm]

What kind of Watchers?

 

[Pharaoh_]

@chilla_killa what's the volcano building for? Nice one.

 

[chilla_killa]

@chilla_killa what's the volcano building for? Nice one.

It's for upgrades.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Oky, quick update (from school) I have lost internet (again) so I might not show wip for the next days.

Tought, here's some news.

All my buildings are done, all my units are done (not yet balanced), all the spells are done (not yet balanced), 3/4 of the upgrades are done.

I still have to make a couple of icons tought.
-Boreal Ressistance icon
-Etheral Form (Spirit Wolf)
-Soul Swapping (Tuskarr Shaman)
-Spirit Blessing (Tuskarr Shaman)
-Armor upgrade (for tuskarrs)
-Armor upgrade (for beast)
-Attack upgrade (for Tuskarrs)
-Attack upgrade (for beast)
-Devour spell (Giant Sea Turtle Rider)

and maybe abit more.

soooo... I still have a good 5 hours of work ahead of me ;D

 

[Wazzz]

Well, I think my race is done, it's just checking for imbalances and crap as before, I'll post a screeny soon enough though

Oh, and maybe finding an alternative icon for something

One thing I'd like to say now (yes, I had something else to say other than stuff I've already said before ) is that my Forest Troll race was not based on the lore, so when you folks do play my race, don't think that it's going to be a strictly 'based off the lore' kind of race. I used lots of different ideas and made some units that don't exist in the lore, which is where the fun factor comes in. Instead of having a complete lack of originality in creating a race that is 100% ripped from the lore, I took my race to a whole new level. So, just a heads up

 

[supertoinkz]

well, I'll submit it two days after my exams (well i think its November 4, 5, 6)
again, good luck everyone!!

 

[Stanakin]

So I already made almost all my units, and most abilities and buildings. Now my map's disappeared. And if there's one thing I can't stand it's making the same thing twice. Really, I could smash my computer right now...

I'm out. >:/

[Edit] I'm in.
The World Editor Test Map was still there, thank all bearded johnnies.

 

[chilla_killa]

Lucker ... ^^

 

[Kercyn]

I've began to work on my race again (hooray!). No WIPs at the moment, cause my units/buildings are not complete (I tend to work on abilities/upgrades first). I hope I'll submit it soon. There might be some that will get disappointed by the amount of imports (Almost everything is taken from W3, because it's rather difficult to find a model for the JASS section, for example ^^).

 

[Master of Eagles]

Next picture:

It is nearly done. Only some little things remained.
And please add me to the contesters table. I have joined long ago.
Also a question: Where should we send our map and when?

 

[Kercyn]

Once you're finished, attach your map to your post, along with a couple of screenshots and just say that this is your final submission.

 

[Deolrin]

Master of Eagles, it would be nicer if you'd ask me before editing my model, but whatever.

 

[AIagremm]

Editing models without permission of their creator(s) is forbidden

Also, I have a lot of problems with time, so Im not sure if I will make the map.

 

[Stanakin]

Here are two WIP images of a Kobold war party attacking an Undead base and the Kobold Siege Mole (siege 'machine' of my race).

 

[Deolrin]

Oh... I just noticed something. I wrote that anyone can modify my Altar of Blood for their own purposes...

Sorry for that Eagle.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Whouhou! internet is back! and my race is almost done, just have to make like 6 icons and 1 spell after that, it's testing, and testing and testing and balancing

here's some cool screenshots.

 

[Ghost765]

i feel like...not working on my race, even dropping out. i could prolly submit my race right now, but it would be crap. call of duty is too addicting. might make a major breakthrough on the last week though.

 

[supertoinkz]

well, bad for you....

well, i changed some models

 

[67chrome]

With triggers, if you go to
Player -> Limit Training of Unit Type
you can set your hero to only be build-able once. You can set it for any unit to, in case you wanted to do a Mothership or some ultimate unit that is so godly only 1 is allowed per player. Anyways, nice progress so far everyone. If I didn't add you to the contest list let me know

 

[Wazzz]

Yeah, that trigger's been discussed before, tho, what's racking my brain is how to stop the game from revealing you, tho. Anyone know how to do that?

Yeah, once again still have some balancing to do that I haven't gotten to yet, but seeing as how now is the weekend, I shall finish off my race (have a clear idea of how to do so, too, incidentally) before working on my other project. The only thing being a bitch to me atm, tho, is my RL workload lol, but it's still not enough to keep me at bay (WOOO for checking answers with friends =D)
