Sylvan race

[Callahan]

I've made a new race for my map based on vegetation.None of it's unit can move but they can be spawn everywhere on the map by spreading seed and pollen.
It's purpose is to litteraly invade the map and surrounding it with vegetation.
You can see the progression on the screenshots.
New models on screenshot are by me.

Screenshot 1 :The begining of the game.I've spread my spore and the vegetation start invading the map.

Screenshot 2 :The invasion keep progressing.My plant and deadly flower are growing.

Screenshot 3 :An entire forest of deadly vegetation surround the map.The others players are cuting and killing my plants.It's litteraly a deforestation but they grow again even more large.

Screenshot 4 :A zoom on my forest.You can see Venolia,Pyrolia,Thorny creeper and invading vine.

Looks pretty hectic and messy to me.

 

[Callahan]

Yes thats how it suppose to be.Trees grow in row only in garden and parc.
But it depend how you place your units.

Edit:Added new unit the Fungovor.

 

[Pyritie]

Is this map going to be playable?

 

[THE_END]

Wow that is pretty cool
I would put in Piranha plants or something like them from Mario

 

[Callahan]

Yes it's the most advanced map i've ever done.It's already playable and all i can do is some balance and add new race,new stuff.

Added new unit :The cactivor
When it attack a deadly spike come out from his mouth to impale enemy unit in its path.

 

[Pyritie]

Its... tongue... looks like it comes out a little too long.

Nice model though. Are you going to release the models?

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Sounds like a cool idea, but all I am worried about is being able to determine hwat is what in-game. From the screens, I could hardly pick the different units apart from eachother.

It's because you're not familiarized with the units but once you've played the map you know unit and their role in the army.

About the tongue of the cactivor it's indeed long but it come up and come back very fast as chameleon tongue you see it during 0.3 seconds and look good ingame.

Edit :I think what is confusing is the invasion vine it's like blight.You have to spawn your plants on this or else they won't survive any longer.

 

[bkdud_32]

seems cool and like u said untill u play it its really confusing

 

[THE_END]

Hmm maybe make the vines either
A. Smaller
B. more conpact and together
Or.. C. Both?

 

[Gausslander]

They stick out a lot in this particular tileset... that's the only problem I see.

 

[HappyTauren]

+REPZ

[SharkSkin]

looks like the skill in Diablo 2 Expansion. You know the druid Skill.

 

[lordgriffen]

As Pyrite asked, are you going to upload the models? Also, is it possible to download the map?

 

[Ardnived]

yes where can i obtain/play this map and what is it called?

 

[Callahan]

here: http://www.wc3campaigns.net/showthread.php?t=95073

But i'm remaking this map.

 

[lordgriffen]

Cool. Thanks.

 

[DarkKnight]

This is a whole new catagory ^^, You could create more of these (after you have totally finished this one offcourse ^^

 

[olofmoleman]

That is one eipic idea.

 

[lordgriffen]

I've got one question about the map: Did you make all of the models, icons, etc?

 

[Pyritie]

Looks like it. (Except for obvious blizz stuff, duh)

 

[Callahan]

Yeah this map purpose was mainly use my models

 

[DarkKnight]

kewl ^^

 

[Pyritie]

Well, tell us when you're done with your next version of this map. DSG recently helped me configure my router, so now I can host stuff. This one I would host a lot, probably.

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm, so, are you going to add some more plants?

 

[PurplePoot]

The race doesn't seem to play ingame at all like it looks like it does from the screenie >_>

 

[DarkKnight]

The food limit is anoying in the plants case, make a long cooldown instead, or a long building time or something, but the food limit is anoying...

 

[PurplePoot]

Last time I checked, sylvan didn't need food. (in that game)

 

[DarkKnight]

Hmm.. For me it did...

 

[monchopim]

very good models... i cant say nothing more... keep up the work

 

[Terradream]

Impressive models Callahan, really impressive! What would be cool would be like a massive three-tier town hall tree or something, would be a good source for the invasion roots to.
