-=Shires at War [SaW]=-

[Palaslayer]

Hi, The Hive Community!


This Thread is about the AOS Shires at War which currently is at a Beta Level.



As I said before in my thread about The Last Battle, Both projects or better both Mapmakers - Me and Paladon - will work together to create the Ultimate AoS which will (I don't know if we will change the name) be released as Shires at War.


Now, this is thread will be the main data base where you can get information about the progress and heroes, where you can take a look at screenshots of the terrain and where you don't have to bother giving ideas or asking questions.


I will update this post later, to tell you the current state of the map developement, but, first off, I want to show you some of the first results of the cooperation between me and Paladon. Since I am the one who cares for the terrain, here are two screenshots showing the two sides taking part in the battle, the Aurora Shire and the Twilight Shire.


And in addition here is the link to both threads of the Last Battle AOS and the original SaW thread, where you can see the old data, containing some spell-screenshots.

The Screenshots:

Aurora

Twilight

Here's a tip: always write the features of the map in the top of your thread. Most people are lazy and don't to search for them. And back to topic, the terrain looks good enough but the trees don't match (the ashenvale one and the imported). How will this AoS be unique compared to others?

 

[Palaslayer]

it will be better ^^

no, seariously, first off this shall be the terrain thread of SaW, but i will change that later cuz the other thread is neg, or?

i think that trees are basicly a strategic element and could you plz specify which you mean, i think its the ones in aurora shire, eh?

and if you know fitting ones which can be destructibles (no custm ones i guess), dont bother to tell me

 

[Anachron]

To less information to less screenshots and to much Red in the eyes

 

[Palaslayer]

-.-'

rly, could you help me finding 'fitting' trees?

read everything, plz, this is currently not more than a preview of some terrain parts, it will be the main thread later i think

I think the ashenvaletrees fit it ok, I would also try sunken ruins?

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Felwood, dalarn/crityscape (the green ones)

 

[Palaslayer]

i use felwood in twilight shire, lol

sunken ruins trees? palms? lawl, plz, kill me if i do that

i will test ashenvale and dalaran, eh?

 

[Anachron]

Its simple, get UTM and download the tree models and try which fits best.

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

You can get UTM at the terrain forum.

 

[Palaslayer]

i cant use doodads as trees cause they arent destructable....

think about what i said before, in an AOS, trees should be destructables, for knockbacks e.g. as well as for other spells like flame strike, which both should destroy trees

 

[Anachron]

Well find an modeler or do it yourself,... Or just remove knockback because trees actually >>> Stronger then nearly every unit / spell.

 

[Palaslayer]

-.-

but i like knockbacks, especially paladons

and other spells affect trees as well, anyway, is there a model you would recommend?

 

[Anachron]

ye but you will never get down a tree with an human in reality actually, as long as he should be alive.

Well to the recommended thing: No, since you want it animated.

 

[Palaslayer]

but you think the part of twilight shire fits?

those are normal trees as well

 

[Anachron]

Try it yourself, Remake your terrain with the UTM (a part) and try the tree models

 

[Palaslayer]

this is no answer to the question, eh

 

[Anachron]

I think this looks amazing already, you terrain tiles are the same I use, thats what I like

 

[[K40$]-Spectre]

Maybe you ask someone who can transfer the vannila tree animations to a custom tree model, that shouldn't be to hard (don't ask me though, I've no experience it).

 

[Paladon]

Cool, a thread about our project.
I´m sorry for this offtopic post.

 

[Anachron]

Cool, an offtopic post in your own thread.
I am sorry for this offtopic post btw.

Anyway, hows the project?

 

[Paladon]

The terrain is still in progress.
I started the project a long time ago and nearly finished the greatest part of the heroes, you can believe me, exceptional heroes.
I made the terrain aswell and deleted the map so i had to use the backup version without any terrain. That´s why i stopped it.
Then came Palaslayer...and we continued together. When the terrain is done, i will overwork the spells and add some other heroes.
After that, i will start making the Alchemy and Crafting Systems.
Well, that´s it.

I made threads for this map before, but it was a "long time" ago.
I will search for them, moment.

EDIT: Found them ;P

Somehow your thread is acting weird

Btw, I think this will be a good map.

If you need JASS Help,
