WAR IN THE PLAGUELANDS

rf9v.jpg



So this is now the more or less official continuation of the War in the Plaguelands Map by Luka_Blight, Kamikiri and 2happy4u. Current uploaders of the map are xGothic_Freakx and Peacegetter.

War in the Plaguelands is placed in the eastern and western plaguelands (surprise, surprise!) during the events of wow where the Scarlet Crusade together with the Argent Dawn fights the undead legions of the Scourge.
It's a spawn based map with lots of custom models and textures, some places in the map don't exist in the actual lore but were implented to create a better balance and gameplay experience. Hero groups are important, but the right managing of your army is the real key to win. Build castles to increase your spawn. The factions are:

Red: Crimson Legion/Stratholme
Blue: Hearthglen
Teal: Tyr's Hand
Purple: Ashbringers Enclave
Yellow: Argent Dawn
Dark Green: Scarlet Monastery and Alliance Outposts

Orange: Stratholme Scourge/Plague Wing
Green: Spider Wing/Fungual Vale and Scourge Outposts
Light Blue: Abomination Wing/Noxious Glade and Scourge Outposts
Pink: Scholomance/Plague Cauldrons
Gray: Andorhal/Plague Caldrons
Brown: Death Knight Wing (the four horsemen)


You got any suggestion for the next version or want to report bugs from the current one? Than this is the right place to post it.

I opened a new Thread due to the fact me and xGothic_Freakx are working on this as a team now and when i started this map it was also my first wc3 project as a mapper so obviously my first versions had some issues to say so :) I hope I can clean up with many of this issues by forming this into a team project, and i hope to get some more feedback and suggestions to improve map quality.

General Plans for the Map are:
-add QWER Hotkeys whereever possible
-balance game start (no more rushing to corrins crossing or outpost)
-make each faction more unique
-improve the spawn system
-improve more terrain
-more lore events

Stuff we should remove?
-Fog? (Were added to create a better Plaguelands atmosphere but it seems like many people don't like it. Shall we remove it? What do you think?)
-Ashbringer event with Renault? (Brings Mograine to Stratholme when Renault dies early ingame)

General map problems:
-The first 5 minutes of gameplay can be very important and decide over victory/defeat in some games. In 5.0 alpha we will try to improve that.
-hard to learn how to play as a beginner
-Leavers are a big problem
