That's pretty greatly wrapped Ujimasa. I'm curious how will the shipyard and laboratory look like :3

He did those two already right? Also, The High Elf Pack is nice, I love it. And the Goblin Pack, good, but maybe add more techy features, and improve the cannon tower please?

ngoc_viet08 · Apr 13, 2014

any chance you will make some heroes with weaponless and have attachment to add weapons for rpg?

I love all your buildings and really interesting to use it in my rpg /defense map but i'm looking around for some weasponless + attachable heroes.

Already altered the Cannon Tower.

Anyone can do that given with the proper tools.

Anyways, each large set now has a pack, icons incuded.

Heinvers · Apr 14, 2014

WoW. Good thinking. I'll be looking forward on your next race pack(if you'll do something).

ngoc_viet08 · Apr 15, 2014

The elf buildings was awesome! Love it!

redotter2 · Apr 15, 2014

I thought of two alternative alter ideas for the Elven. Kael and Sylvanas Windrunner(High Elf). It could help make the elven buildings look like the can be used for Blood Elf or High Elf. Just a thought...

Go'el · Apr 15, 2014

Perhaps some Night Elves buildings would be nice. And I know, they already have a set, but I'm talking about a non-Ancient set.

Hey Uljimasa, your table of contents doesn't link properly. I would suggest linking it to the single post as opposed to the page.

Somebody is already posting WoD stuff like this. Still waiting for the big ones because there's not enough material to work on.

Is that made from scratch? It looks like a rip from the alpha sandbox honestly.

It is a rip. I'm just after the textures.

Most up to date sandbox client for patch 6.0. Have a blast and I can't wait to see if you make an Iron Horde set; that would be so great.

Note: Since it's a sandbox, there WILL NOT be an NPCs. It's just you and the world around you to fly around in and explore.

I don't have WoW. Would I be able to extract textures if I downloaded that?

Fuzzyfury · Apr 22, 2014

I was too lazy to read this whole thread, but by what I've seen you've been talking about troll town hall and buildings. If you ask me, the town hall should look a bit like the big building here. here are two close up shots so you can see it more clearly.

Kyrbi0 · Apr 22, 2014

^Woah, that's quite helpful. Muchas gracias. Where in the world did they get (rib?) bones that big!?

Now, on that note, while I like architecture, I'm curious as to who built that (i.e. what kind of Trolls), since they seem to have more brown-leafy-stuff rather than green (Barrens rather than Jungle?). Moreover, it almost looks like halves of a ship, set on the ground as entrances.

Those screenshots are of Sen'jin Village, they are Jungle Trolls, it's where Vol'jin resides till WoD.

Ah, and as I just found out I was right; Sen'jin Village is located in Kalimdor (specifically right next to the Barrens & Ogrimmar), making the foliage a lot browner than it would be in Stranglethorn Vale. The "being built out of a ship" thing could be as easily there as in S.Vale, though.

I'll have to do some lite Photoshopping, but I think something similar to that would be great for a Jungle Troll town hall.

Darkspear trolls are essentially a jungle troll tribe so the architecture is in the right place.

The roof is DRIED grass or leaves so the colour is in the right place even in Stranglethorn vale, and the brown stuff is wood, which is brown in all the parts of the world (which would make even more sense in STV then Barrens since there are a lot more trees out there) This is a screenshot from STV.

What I actually failed to mention is that you can't really see those kind of buildings in jungle trolls like Gurubashi since they don't migrate. Their huts look like the ones in the second picture (they are made of leather), BUT If they had to build new base on the go (like they will do in the map that is being made, I am sure they would use the same style and the same material as their long estranged cousins, the Darkspears.

And the enterances are not really ships, it's just that when you take 2 big pieces of wood and tie them at the top, you have to bend them like that so it looks like a front of a ship.

I rest my case your honour.

Darkloid · Apr 23, 2014

Aren´t the other ones Forest Trolls huts?, anyways good choice for modern primitive Jungle Trolls, the stone pyramid buildings would correspond to Zandalari/Gurubashi/Amani empire Trolls, better set on a Ancient Azeroth map.

Possibly, though I like to think that a current-day "Jungle Troll" tribe/race/faction, set in modern (post-TFT, pre-WoW) Stranglethorn Vale, might actually still use a combination of the two; perhaps wooden buildings built on top of stone ziggurat-like stuff. Not sure how it would look, though.

Fuzzyfury · Apr 23, 2014

OBJECTION! They are all found in Zul'Gurub (stranglethorn vale) which is an ancient jungle troll city!

To whom are you OBJECTing? It might be helpful to utilize the built-in "quote" function of the forums.

I was objecting to this post, I was just too lazy to press the quote button. anyways, the way I see it: Base and some barracks should look like the big building in sen'jin village (I mean the architecture style). Caster barracks should look like a stone temple, farms should look like those leather covered huts and beast training should be made like a pit with spikes, fence or something like that since that's the way Trolls keep their animals (in temples and PITS).

Talking about animals, we should consider using the Loa Mythology (http://www.wowwiki.com/Loa) for those of you who don't know what Loas are, and incorporate the animal Loas worshiped by Gurubashi (Spider, Tiger, Panther, Bat and Snake). We could also make them train beasts like Spiders, Tigers and Bats (Batriders)) and they could have Panther and Snake warriors (Panther could be like a stealthy melee unit and Snake could be a caster).

Consider it.

Are you referring to the Loa - Troll(like the ones Zul'jin summoned to protect him from the horde and alliance)hybrids or actual animal units?

By the "animals" that he said, must be the Gurubashi's Loa. Shadra, the Spider, Shirvallah, the Tiger, Bethekk, the Panther, Hir'eek, the Bat and Hethiss, the Snake

I think I kinda know, just give me a sec.

I always tought Jungle trolls structures wold look like minotaurs from the warlords series: hulking old stone buildings with scatered huts on top of them and some carrancas made of stone and wood scattered on the corners.

Footman16 · Apr 24, 2014

Hey Uljimasa I was thinking about your Forsaken set and thought it would be useful if you made a skin for all the High Elf Farms, the tall ones etc.

Well... the idea is good, but , in my opinion, that's not necessary, and will be a waste of time for Uljimasa to do this, because, as you can see, he (or she) have another idea in mind.

Well, you said it, it's an ancient decadent troll city, they didn,t build them, the idea behind Ujimasa's models are war camps or bases built from scratch, I doubt modern jungle trolls woul build anything but wooden ones like in Sen'jin village,anyways this is not a lore discussion

NONSENSE! They would totally do that exact thing.

Or at least, sorta. They might be build that half-way, then put wood-n-stuff on top of it.

Ujimasa Hojo · Apr 25, 2014

Anyways, I don't really have a solid plan at the moment for new models which is why I kinda went back to making 12-player maps for my series. The closest thing to a new set I have in mind is to make "Highborne" versions of the Orc buildings and these would labelled as "Gurubashi".

What do you mean by Highborne Orc buildings?

I can't even imagine what that would look like.

He said he's gonna make them once he gets the WoD draenei building textures

That'd be interesting... I wonder how that'd look. Might very well be a good mix (though it sounds weird to begin with).

Nice buildings Ujimasa! Can't wait to see more.

Forsaken · Apr 26, 2014

Looks really nice! Good work!

WerBackIII · Apr 26, 2014

I'll be honest, for the first time I am not that impressed.

Gurabashi-styled buildings are rarely circular, and usually are quite geometrically "clean", especially for WC's comic art-style.

This just looks like a bad reskin of the Orc Great Hall.

But that just like my opinion, man.

Heinvers · Apr 26, 2014

Awesome as always. Keep it up. :thumbs_up:

I agree on that one. They don't look bad, but they look more like naga/atlantian-ish buildings than gurubashi.

Gurubashi trolls have squareish buildings.

Heinvers · Apr 26, 2014

@Fuzzyfury good point

He could use the textures from the Sentinels (TFT) campaign loading screen. Those would be quite fitting for trolls imo.

If you look a bit closer, he did use the same textures. they look atlantianish.
