Scarlet Crusade V.4.0

[sarumanthecursed]

I am planning on updating all my races/factions. Did you enjoy the updated version? Try put update Dalaran too, see what you think.

I've downloaded all of them right now i'm obsessed with scarlet crusaders though shat try the others to

There is two minor bugs such as player 1 getting an extra worker that starts off in the middle of the map and the lieutenant hero which is replaced after choosing your race but she still pops up for 3 or so seconds which cause you to not be able two build her and you have to upgrade your tier in order to get a hero how ever the way he made the texts for every thing supper detailed and in different colors is very cool and aesthetically pleasing

I forgot to delete her at testing. I will fix it right now.

ok and 1 last thing XD I love the leadership abilities of the lieutenant and Highlord? There both extremely powerful as they should be for this race but are balanced by the chance system which is also lore accurate since divine intervention tends to be a random occurrence

Glad you enjoyed it. Lore accuracy is one of my top concerns when making these maps.

Instead of lieutenant wouldn't Arbiter make more sense since her abilities reflect upon the duties of an arbiter such as giving judgement and verdicts

That is an EXCELLENT idea, I think I will change her title to that.

Man dude all your races are too awesome to just leave separated apart. I say eventually release a mpq containing all your races stuff, then just make a TON of maps to carry all these bros! Although if it makes the spells harder to make, then I guess I'll just deal with it.

To be honest for so many altered melee maps that you created, this map was the best Scarlet Crusaders was always my favourite!

Are you planning to do more altered melee maps like this? If yes, will you do a map of Naga?

I might, but I prefer to stay away from the common custom races like Blood Elves, Dwarves, and Naga. But you can check out my Illidari map which utilizes some Naga.

I hope you'd consider making the Nerubian since as of yet I don't believe any one has

I would really love to see you redesign the core factions, I'd love to see how you would design them!

Love this. A really nice improvement. Especially loved Sally Whitemane and Bridget Abendis. The only thing I would change is the voice of Servant to idk Sorceress, just cause they have no voice when they're trained. And maybe change tower models to Guard Towers or Arcane Towers with Light effects instead of Arcane. And maybe having them start as scout towers, than choosing an upgrade option, like the humans do, but that's a minor thing.

All in all an awesome map. Commented mostly to be able to rate 5 stars.

Have you kept those building-specific upgrades that Scarlet Crusaders had? I think it was really cool and unique thing about them.

What do you mean? All their upgrades are now based on weapons and armor.

 

[MogulKahn]

Giving bonus damage to towers and main building, doubling health points of towers, if I recall correctly.

Oh. Those are still available.

The saddest part about custom races is no AI, cuse I like to enjoy the game, multiplayer altered melee gets too tense, so no computer sure is lame.

When playing with AMAI, the game lags then crashes

I dont even know what AMAI is. Does it lag at the start of the game or mid/late?

AMAI is Advanced Melee Artifical Intelligence (a mod that makes the computer smarter). On the map that comes with the race, it starts immediately. If I export the race to other default maps, it starts at the beginning when I'm about to creep after I made my hero and 2 soldiers, it always starts after like 3-5 minutes. And to be more specific, the game still runs, I can hear sounds of my soldiers fighting and everything moving very very slowly, like 1 fps, sometimes it freezes. If I tab out and come back after 30 seconds, I'm stuck at the pause menu, unable to exit or resume the game, in the chat it says something about being disconnected from the servers, and the only way to close the game is by task manager. This doesn't happen on every custom race, for example AMAI works on Dark Horde/Fel Horde and Forsaken. I tried to save & load constantly but sadly it just starts to lag straight away. I can send you the maps with AMAI or make a video if you want.

EDIT: I found out how to fix the issue. With MPQ Editor, I deleted Blizzard.j from the Scripts folder added by AMAI. Blizzard.j is optional, it lets you give AMAI allies specific commands like trade, change tactic, when to attack enemy, etc.

I'm going to miss the Desperation mechanic on the Scarlet Crusade units, it made them cowards in a good way.

Holy warriors, true warriors of the Light!

I can say that Scarlet Crusade is getting more popular nowadays: new custom race, new campaign featuring Ashbringer, Chinese campaign about Scarlet Crusade...
What can I tell, @Wa666r, about your altered melee "Scarlet Crusade" interpretation?

• I liked this gameplay, especially getting free cheap-militia unit "hound" from farms. In my showcase, I had run with them nearly whole video - they are quite good for free unit.
• Using banner mechanics... Maybe I was lucky, or it seems that micromanaging the banner is not required at all? Kinda, I put a banner or two on my warriors and forgot about it. Having a free aura boost is always nice.
• Overall, I feel that this race is quite strong just from the early game: free hound unit, free bloodlust on every non-caster unit, powerful Whitemane-like hero (why her healing wave is so wacked? Why can I not cast it on my units directly but with lesser power?). Also, having decreasing damage taken from all undead is kinda cursed in a 1vs1 match against undead. But it's lorewise, so why not?

I think that "Scarlet Crusade" altered melee race is kinda wacky and should have some balance in terms of free hounds from farms.
But it's up to you.
Anyway - another cool custom race, like and recommend it to anyone who wants to purge infidels from sacred lands.

They won't be missed by me. That entire mechanic boiled down random self-debuffing abilities.

Thanks for the showcase! That was quick.

Lotsa folks like Scarlet Crusade I suppose. I'm just going down the list and revamping my older works.

The Hounds are pretty nifty. They're good for early game, but fall off in mid to late game since they can be dispelled.

Well, to be fair, you only played against some computers, and it's impossible to get the dull breadth of a faction in one go. I made it easier to micromanage the banners, most just boils down to right-clicking and giving the banner to the proper units.

The bloodlust does come with a downside of extra damage taken, so there's a tradeoff. I thought about letting her cast it on allies as well, but I don't think it fits as well thematically. I like the idea of her taking the life force from an enemy and distributing it. Plus, the ai wouldn't use it on allies.

Lorewise, they hate undead so I wanted to bring just a little of that.

Balance... its fun-balanced. Like I said before, there just aren't enough people and feedback on balance for me to make my custom factions be inline with the vanilla.
