I'd like the siege to be something.. like.. moving rocks but as a cluster, without form. Or a large rock roller

Uh... "Rolling Stone(s)" then?

 

[Tleno]

Yes, Rolling Stones Rockin's like a Hurricane.
Misha, I haven't seen you modeling for a long time... did you got Sporetarted?

 

[Misha]

@Michael: uh-huh :3

@tleno: Nope, I'm modeling a CaneProd for Pyramid :3
basically a walking cane + cattle prod :3

 

[Tleno]

Canned Cattle monster?

 

[Misha]

^read up^

 

[Wazzz]

Misha, check this out

It's like what you described, only it has a basic form, so I don't know if it will do for you or not, but anywayz, you can decide for yourself ^^;;

 

[Misha]

Yes, i think that one is the Earth Hero in the Elemental race ^^

 

[Chaos.]

Nope, thats the advanced melee.

 

[Misha]

..and what's the earth-hero? D:

 

[Chaos.]

Check the picture in my race album.

 

[Misha]

Lul.. I thought that was a big brown blob and not the hero XD
it does look a bit strange though..

 

[Michael Peppers]

Anyway, Jigrael made an icon of his Lightning Elemental a while back, you can find it attached here. The one he's posted in the icons section of this site has the colors swapped somehow.

 

[Misha]

so.. how are the things goin' ? :>

 

[Chaos.]

Well I gave the map to the Cow (lol) to make the main systems for me (like build and harvest) And I told him to send you the wip map as soon as those systems are done. It is still lacking most of the abilities but atleast you will be able to see it. However he hasn't given me an "Ok I'll get right on" or a "Sorry I can't". So I don't know if he is working on it or not.

 

[Misha]

Hmm.... I wonder..

Btw.. can you perhaps find me a different Earth-hero, Chaos?

 

[Chaos.]

I've tried. trust me. lol. There isn't any more.

 

[Misha]

..Do i have to make one? Ouo

EDIT: You can use skins too, ya know.. Ouo

 

[Tamerleine]

Can I help with the earth elemental hero?

 

[Misha]

you model?

 

[Misha]

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/lavacolossus-158880/?prev=search=lava&d=list&r=20 hmm.. can this be used somehow?

 

[Chaos.]

Maybe. If we implement the conglomerate system.

 

[Misha]

were we planing to..?

 

[Chaos.]

It was a thought. Don't think it was confirmed, though.

 

[Misha]

what was that about again?

 

[Chaos.]

where we combine 2 elementals to make a new elemental. (Like air + water makes an ice elemental)

 

[Misha]

I believe i've already said i'd want conglomerates for super-units

 

[Chaos.]

Yup, but if we do add those in then we will leave that till near completion. I would like to focus on the more important things first.

 

[Misha]

which are...?

 

[Chaos.]

Build, food, and harvest systems and unit abilities.

 

[Misha]

For harvest, I've told time and time again about a custom lava spawn that has the "return lumber" and normal Ghoul lumber "gather" ability. which would make him not need any drop-off point, as the fire does "eat" all in it's path, lol..

As for gold.. I'd think about some earth unit having the "entangle gold mine" ability or so.. so that the gold is auto-extracted as long as this unit is not moving/is alive

 

[Chaos.]

The gold miner and builder is the water elemental. I have enough earth.
The lumber harvest is similar but with a cooler effect. I sent the info to Crazy Cow. He is currently having computer problems, but he said that he start working on those when he gets it fixed. Almost all ideas are complete. They just need to be made. Slow and steady, but it will get done adventually.

 

[Misha]

The frustrating thing is that i still haven't received even a weird WIP of the map.. no matter how incomplete it is.. :/

 

[Chaos.]

Well, I was hoping that Cow could get the basic systems done so that he could send you a testable map. (even if most of the abilities haven't been made) But since his computer is screwed up then I guess that won't happen for a while.
Atm the map is lacking most of the abilities and looks kind of wierd due to lack of buildings and icons. But i will send you the map anyways either later today or tomorrow. In the trigger editor I have all the info for the abilities and stuff so you will be able to see all the ideas so far. I just want to do a few more things before I send it to you.

 

[Misha]

alright..

 

[JokeMaster]

Hey i got this fucking awsome idea to make an amani troll race. What do you think?

 

[Misha]

why.. share it with us.. C:

 

[StormWarriors2]

Ok quick question for a Only human race what should i do for air?

Because so far this is what i've done.

Footman (Crusader)
Knight (War Knight)
Archer (Militia Archer)
Maybe a Militia?
Golem
Vindicator
Soldier
Ranger
and 2 Custom Heroes
The Towers are Cold and Fire towers, and Archer Tower.
What should i do for an air unit?

Bascially all my other races follow a similiar trend. (i'm trying to make a Campagian to play, not good at cinemtiacs though -.-.)

 

[Tleno]

Well you can make some kind of air baloon...

 

[VeljkoM]

But Golems are not human property. And you need spellcasters. For Air maybe trained hawks?

 

[Chaos.]

War Eagles?

 

[VeljkoM]

Well problem is they would be kinda air melee units? Maybe spellcasters could change to bird mode like Medivh?

 

[Tleno]

Thats a great idea...

 

[StormWarriors2]

Yeah i already have spell casters.

But i've thought of having some eagles but i don't know what models to use on them would be.

 

[VeljkoM]

Well Hawks? Beast master summons.

 

[StormWarriors2]

Ok.
I also need to find a way to make it so undead only target me and my ally -.-.

 

[VeljkoM]

Set undead player to be enemy only to those who you wish and neutral to the rest. That can be done by triggers.

 

[StormWarriors2]

oh i forgot. The reason why i have a golem is because of balancing issues and plus they . And also i played tested them without hawk. it looks like i need some siege units! or just one! I could do a wizard with powers to kill buildings!
Ok here is the low down of the Buildings
Scout Tower
Guard Tower
Fire Tower
Boulder Tower
Ice Tower
Barracks
Sky ----- (needs a name)- Next Place to have air unit.
Temple-builds mages
Blacksmith- Upgrade Station
Workshop?!?-Makes Golem and future siege unit.
Guild Of War-Builds Elite Units, Elite Knight (Captain) and Elite Archer.
The Two Heroes are Pretty good but they have random abilities.
One of them is a Templar-with chainlighnting?
The Other is Caleb-Knight with Blade Storm Which kinda makes sense.
Also for some wierd reason my Ally Red is only making footman -.-.

This is bascially following my Own Campagian outside of Warcraft lore.

 

[Misha]

cool..

but Chaos? have you got my PM about the elemental build/gather/mine method?

 

[Chaos.]

Yup, haven't got time to really experiment with it yet, though. But soon.

 

[Misha]

It that works out we'll have truly an unique build/harvest :3
