Race ideas

[AIagremm]

This is the thread where you can tell or give the others your race ideas.

 

[AIagremm]

I have some ideas on making sub-races.
For example: Stormreaver clan(Necrolite clan)
Night elves without ancients and some really stupid creatures(like fairy dragons)and with normal buildings
Kaldorei(night elves before the Sundering)
Eredar(Race of the burning legion)
Broken/Lost Ones(Draenei sub-races)
Tauren(I think you know who they are)
And so on... I have ideas for all of those races.
And... their all based on lore!(well at least partially)

 

[Tleno]

And what about naga and murlocs races separated?

 

[Wazzz]

Murlocs are not a part of the Naga so much as the Mur'guls are.

Alagremm, as lore master, I request you to tell me the difference between Mur'guls and Murlocs in terms of culture and what their stories are, plz xD

 

[AIagremm]

I shall great one, I shall!
Murlocs are... murlocs, you know.
They have normal culture, low level of crafting. They can create various items, even their own art, but they dont sell it. They only trade raw materials lake clams and stuff. They can sometimes give their art to a tradesman if there was a good deal. They have their own language - nerglish. They are not as smart as the other races, but they are smarter then everyone thinks they are. They have many beliefes(murlocs dont have official religion).

Mur'gul are corrupted murlocs from the depths of the Maelstrom. They are bloodfirsty and feral. They serve the nagas. It is unknown if they joined themselves or if they were forced to join. It is possible that like the nagas mur'gul were the creation of an alleged Old God near what used to be the Well of Eternity.

 

[AIagremm]

P.S.
I like Stormreaver clan idea.

 

[Wazzz]

Ooh, so Mur'guls are really deranged Murlocs... explains a lot xD
Thx for that, Alagremm, I wondered for a bit about that

 

[StormWarriors2]

Blood Elves
Naga
Dranei
Mages (all Magic users)
Space Marines (being removed)
Royal Army (Warriors with high attack and defence)
Guardians (replacing space marines)
Dragons (only red and blue dragon flights)
Daemons
i need more races it feels like they need more

 

[AIagremm]

Can you be more specific about the Guardians?

 

[Misha]

umm.. how about....Razormane? Noone uses those piggies to make a race 8(

 

[VeljkoM]

Have you played Creep Let loose campaign? Guy made a creep race where murlocs were first melee, gnoll first range, centaur was second melee, razormane was second range and kobold was worker. Each unit (except kobold) could be promoted to spellcaster with right Hero. Because it was campaign there was 8 creep leaders from what 5 were leaders of units mentioned above and 3 were warriors helping the cause. Campaign was canceled but in editor there were data for air units and more advanced units.

 

[Misha]

no i haven't played that one
is it a complete map?

 

[izaiphovias]

I like the idea of a centaur race, i tryed to make one, but it was poorly made ad so i deleted it. I also have ideas for satyr race, i have one but isn't complete.

 

[Misha]

who hasn't got ideas for Satyr race XD

 

[AIagremm]

Indeed. They are one of the easiest races to make. I mean they have lost of building models compared to ther races, and they have many units here on Hive even a worker.

 

[Misha]

Lulz.. i even made complete satyr race along with a wailing wisp (worker)

 

[VeljkoM]

Campaign was good and it was started for RoC so first maps aren't good. Guy stopped making new (he stopped at seventh) saying that he heard about Starcraft 2 coming out.

Also this race had one units per creep. He latter wanted to add satyr and harpy. The story is most likly in alternate warcraft because orcs and Taurens are in Kalimdor but Jaina is in Dalaran.

 

[izaiphovias]

Yeah, but i made this Satyr quite two years ago, before i found the Hive, i used all the corrupted buildings, some undead ones (weird), for the units i used the normal WC3 satyrs, with skeletons, and that green thing of Dalaran Ruins...
PS: the race became a trash xD

 

[Misha]

lol.. i used the circle of power as altar for my satyrs XD

 

[StormWarriors2]

well the guardians are a race of super beings but they use other forms to matralize. its hard to make them because they are all different so i got rid of them space marines are staying until further updates are made. but another race that has caught my eye is the satyrs, and the Agrent Dawn.

 

[izaiphovias]

worst me: i used the demon gate! xD (the one that you need to destroy with Illidan in the campaing)

 

[Tleno]

you mean that scull altar?

 

[AIagremm]

No, he means the demon gate.

 

[Misha]

that'll be the dimensional waygate illidan sealed on draenor.

 

[Tleno]

Oh, that one! i tough you meant the one from ROC campaing...

 

[StormWarriors2]

uhhhhh what does this have to do with race ideas

 

[VeljkoM]

Lets see it was building used for the custom race....

 

[Misha]

i once used a dimensional way-gate for Burning Legion race, with only one building XD and a tower ^^

 

[izaiphovias]

Bah, i mean the DEMON GATE, the one who has this name, you need to destroy it with Illidan, it and the Skull, then Tichondrius, YES, the ROC one!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let mee see, one day, i mean only in one day, i created a race with all the Barren's creeps, this was my worst race... xD

 

[Misha]

Terrible XD

 

[StormWarriors2]

Ok i need help with one race i keep on seeming to mess it up. The damn dragons and the blood elves. One thing the blood elves i need more units for and the dragons are lacking buildings and units. the reason why i haven't gotten rid of the dragons was because they were one of my most favorite ideas. also another race is my bandits they have great everything what should i do for upgrades for them? Another one sadly is Mages, the mage nation are hard because they use magic all of them its hard to blance all of the races with each other while still giving one an edge over the another races. My Space Marines are perfect : D and same with the Fel Orcs and Naga And Dranei. -some techincal difficulties. Any Suggestions?

 

[Misha]

well you can split mages into elements, firemage = "melee", Frostmage = ranged, ect.
problem sorted ?=3

 

[StormWarriors2]

well kind of i had already thought of that and did it but its just like feels something is missing.

 

[Misha]

like.. real slashes?

 

[StormWarriors2]

what?

 

[Misha]

if you want true melee units you need to give 'em melee attack, aka. slashes

 

[StormWarriors2]

oh i did. Fire mage deals fire damage XD

 

[Misha]

then what's missing?

 

[StormWarriors2]

just feels like there is something missing in the races

 

[Misha]

upgrades?

 

[VeljkoM]

Maybe a map with races?

 

[StormWarriors2]

Well the upgrades have already been done it is just something like i missed something important that every game needs. I KNOW A RP make your own XD. i'll try and do some stuff like that that was the orginal goal XD

 

[Misha]

.. what's the point of race creation, now i ask you.. to make it unique, i guess.

 

[StormWarriors2]

sry but i'm picky when it comes to my map i will not realease it until i feel it is ready wink* also i have pushed the due date back alot because or restircations with my time and i use other time to work on painting my army of SM.

 

[Misha]

*shrug*

 

[StormWarriors2]

yep pretty much

 

[StormWarriors2]

yeah i need new races for me to do anything.

 

[Crazy Cow]

I have an idea for a race: Slimes.
With this race, you can only train one unit - a basic slime. To get more advanced units, you fuse basic slimes together to get stronger ones. Various buildings allow you to alter the fusion of slimes to get even more (an altar, for example, can fuse five slimes into a hero). Like the Zerg or a wisp creating an ancient, slimes are consumed when building structures, and to upgrade them you need to sacrifice even more slimes. What do you guys think?

 

[AIagremm]

Interesting. But do they have some sort of main building, like Primordial Soup?

 

[VeljkoM]

So quantity or quality.
