[Strategy / Risk] War of the Clans

[Wolffman]

I have an idea, make a few rituals or so. For example, the Stormcallers can do a Storm ritual to heal them and their allies and curse all enemies with lightning..

 

[RinKaWaII]

Release Date? Can't wait for this!

 

[Wa666r]

Argos, can you update the main page with my updated version of the Clans section (the one from yesterday)?

It now has all the ability data and icons.

 

[MogulKahn]

First, that Warrior and Magic classifications are... lame... We already have Strength and Intelligence, whats the point of changing them ?! Second that "Vengeance" hero, needs new name, badly... And I am not impressed whit that Warlock hero for the Direfury clan. I mean idea as idea is great, but he doesn't fit there... maybe some kind of sand mage ? They are clan placed in the desert after all !

Well I really don't see the problem with the Warrior and Magic classification names. What if I just use Cunning instead of Agility? It's just a wording preference.

None of the heroes are said in stone. Many might be changed and revamped throughout development.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Can i make my own race too ? I want to add Asian Orcs

Anyway , here's the terrain Progress , hope ya like it!

Terrain Update 1

 

[Wa666r]

Ohhh snap! That's awesome. *gives a cookie*

 

[Strydhaizer]

Shaping up the Norgseer's base

Terrain Update 2

 

[Vinz]

It looks very nice.

 

[Argos]

Sweet Strydy, good job!

 

[kakuzu]

Nice terrain , also for the direfury a cunning hero will be good , maybe a sand predator ?

 

[Heinvers]

Shaping out great so far bro

Those magic, agility and strength classifications just serve us to develop their abilities. Ingame there will be no classifications at all. You will have an option from 3 paths (3 heroes) and each one will lead you to a different chain of events. For example our "strength" hero-type will prefer rough strenght to seize the power or eliminate his foes. Our "intelligent" heroes will rather prefer a peaceful and more passive game. And finally "agility" hero type will try to manipulate and punish his enemies by various dirty methods.

As I said before in comments, Warlock WILL be replaced, but we haven't though about a better hero idea yet. I can say the same about vengeance hero and many others. I like that you're not afraid to say your opinion and I'm thankful for feedback. Maybe you can write your suggestions about new names for heroes and hero replacements. (I don't like Sand Mage, orcs are not mages)

 

[kakuzu]

Kasar Sand Predator : Hide ( Kasar become sand itself and it is invisible for enemy ) Trapsus ( Kasar put a sand trap on the ground ) , predator aura (a passive ability who permanently increese hero vision and movement speed ) and ultimate : Terifiant Secret (Kasar transform himself in a monstrosious creature who can devour enemy units )

 

[Vinz]

Warlock, revamped or replaced?

If the first, here is an idea.
Q - Flamedart
Summons an agile imp. It deals area damage with its attacks.

Attack: 30/40/50
Health: 300/425/550
Critical Chance (2×): 15/20/25%

W - Call of the Void
Summons a Voidwalker. While alive, it boosts the Warlock's mana regeneration by 1/1.5/2. It also boosts the Warlock's nearby pet damage by 10/15/20%.

Attack: 20/30/40
Health: 300/425/550

E - Inferno
Summons an infernal from the sky, stunning nearby enemies for 1/1.25/1.5 seconds.

Attack: 25/35/45
Health: 350/475/600
Immolation: 20/30/40 DPS

R - Demonic Blessing
Resets basic ability cooldowns. The next ability cast then summons an upgraded version of the corresponding summon (alongside the regular one) with 10 bonus attack, 100 bonus health and an extra ability.

Imp- Gains Berserk, giving 30% attack and movement speed for 3 seconds.
Voidwalker- When it attacks enemies, the Warlock regains 20 mana. (Passive)
Infernal- Gains Taunt ability.


All summons last 10s and have a CD of 25s.

 

[Argos]

Err...i mean replaced sorry. The only clan who practice dark magics is Dreadfire. They currently have Necromancer hero, but Warlock might be more suitable. Any thoughts? Thanks for nice ideas.

That code with Clans and Heroes is broken again. No idea why.

 

[Vinz]

Blood Fanatic

Q - Plasma Blades
(Toggle) Gains 15/25/35% attack speed but drains 10 health per attack.

W - Death Rage
Every attack deals 10/15/20 more damage than the last, and builds up half that amount of critical chance. This resets upon scoring a critical strike (2x).

E - Blood Rush
Dashes towards a target enemy, dealing 100/150/200 damage over 3 seconds and slowing it by 30%.

R - Blood of Vengeance
Loses 20% of max health (cannot die from this), then gains 50% damage and lifesteal for 7 seconds.

 

[kakuzu]

Warlock : Rain of Dark Terror ( the warlock create a massive rain of dark meteorites in an area ) Demonic posesion ( transform an friendly unit in a demon ) Death touch ( deal damage to nearby enemy units ) and ultimate : Hunger of The demon lord (all enemy units in an area are transport in the demons world to be devours by them )

 

[Strydhaizer]

I dont want to disturb your discussion but .... ... here's a new terrain update.

Terrain Update 3

Those buildings are temporary. I'm just testing the tile pathing and the scale of the buildings. .

What's next is the Spiritar's base

 

[Heinvers]

Looking great so far, I'm not sure what to say about those arches.

I feel like they're either too thin or too orderly to be natural.

 

[Strydhaizer]

If i make the arches thick , it will surely block the gameplay camera.

 

[Heinvers]

Those are my thoughts about it not orders

 

[Wolffman]

The Location where you kept the Stronghold, which is kind of like an island, should be a bit more spruced up..Otherwise, it looks great

 

[Heinvers]

I think that's a nice touch to that area.

 

[Wolffman]

I think that's a nice touch to that area.

Yeah, but the way it looks, it's kinda barren compared to the rest of the locale.

 

[Heinvers]

Barrens = Barren, ring any bells?
...besides it's a WIP terrain so I see no problems so far.

 

[Argos]

Strydy...man...this is awesome...

And btw are you sure you want to start with Spiritar next? Spiritar is like on the other side of the map and that swamp/overgrowth will be hard to fit in the rest.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Yeah, but the way it looks, it's kinda barren compared to the rest of the locale.

lol yes i know , i forgot to add tile variations and some details.
Here's the quick fix.

[Terrain Update 4]

Stryderzero is one of our most valuable members. His imagination and skills allow him to create the most epic landscapes and terrain.

:> lol

EDIT:

And btw are you sure you want to start with Spiritar next? Spiritar is like on the other side of the map and that swamp/overgrowth will be hard to fit in the rest.

There's no problem for the transition bro

Oh i f'in love barrens!

 

[Argos]

I had to put something into description man. You should be honored, lel.

 

[kakuzu]

Nice terrain ! Also Argos what you think about my warlock ?

 

[Wa666r]

Great terrain, and heroes ideas. But as for the heroes themselves, you guys are thinking of too demony, remember that they don't really follow those dark arts. Also, the Warlock will be in the Dreadfure Clan instead of the Necromancer once the new hero is made.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Now we're moving on to the south. ^_^

[Terrain Update 5]


Currently the map have 900 doodads, 20 units placed ,53 imported doodads , 3 imported tiles , and the map filesize is just 1500kb .

I think this's all i can do for today I'll continue tomorrow.

---
EDIT: Here's the cinematic preview
[Terrain Update 6]

 

[kakuzu]

Maybe this Necromancer : Dark Thunder (a wave attack who destroy enemy units in a line ) Death and Agony (the hero release an energy blast who paralise enemy units ) Dark Orderers (a passive ability , enemy units killed by the necromancer are ressurected as scheletons ) and ultimate : Call from the Graveyard (the necromance summon 6 powerfull grunts scheletons )

 

[Argos]

@kakuzu Not bad, but ultimate ability of warlock is too complicated. Necromancer is cool, but as i said before we will probably remove/merge with Warlock.

@Mythic Also pretty nice

@Strydy Map seems a bit too small no? And also it's not an island, south and east should be land not water. When you said that you're moving south, i hope you'll make enough space between each clan, cuz that pic you posted seems to be too close to Norgseer and under Norgseer lies Direfury(sand dunes/desert) not Spiritar which is more to the east. Otherwise good job as always, like it so far

Agility heroes are ok though. We need some ideas on warrior/intellingence heroes. For example Far Seer has currently abilities of some human mage and Shaman looks like a Druid. We need to make their abilities more suitable for their class.

 

[Wolffman]

Here's an idea for the Far Seer (you should change the name tho)

Mysticism : Passive - The Far Seer's mana regenerates by X %, and mana damage taken is reduced by Y %

Astral Recall : Active - Teleports the Seer X yards away. (A fusion between Blink and Teleport)

Spirit Oath : Active - Shoots an AoE blast of spiritual energy which deals damage and slows enemies in a *** radius (*1-small/*2-medium/*3-large)

Spiritual Insight : Ultimate - Puts the Seer in a state of a Spirit which makes him immune to attacks but decreases the attack damage and attack speed. Lasts X seconds.

 

[Strydhaizer]

I dont know
Map is already large.

Take a look at this image. I think that's far enough. See how far the Direfury peasant will travel to reach Norgseer's camp.

 

[Argos]

Okay then, nevermind my pm.

Direfury seems however to be placed on a hill, but it would be better if it was not. Player should feel that desert feel from playing Direfury

Like no cut down trees and not so many hills. (Many clans will probably be located on some hills and this can be an exception since it lies in the desert)


@Wolffman We got one more hero called Spirit Walker, which aims on spirits and shit. Those abilities you posted are pretty cool, but i think they would suit better for that hero. (Abilities of Spirit Walker also need an upgrade so your ideas are very valuable)

 

[Strydhaizer]

Did you look at Alpha vers i sent you? We are going to put many events into the map and that size is really important.

I am actually referring to the terrain that you sent me and i am doing exactly the same. :<

---

EDIT

Hey im bloody confused.

Stormfell

Stormfell is an ancient clan bound in mysteries. It is said that its first warchief, Siraf could control unthinkable power to shape the world. His sworn apprentices, Stormcallers, still remember old secrets their master taught them and are able to unleash them upon their foes. Stronghold itself lies to the south-west, protected by mountains from all sides. Impregnable.

Direfury lies to the west-south, situated between two mountains and protected from one side by the sea and from another by a deadly desert called the Red Abbyss. It's warriors are not renowned for their strenght or spells, but for endurance. Even the most strongest creatures or most wisest sorcerers fall into bare sand dehydrated, exhausted, powerless and only Direfury endures. With their poisoned arms and deadly skills they can easily hunt down any intruder and teach him his final lesson: Only the strong will prevail.

Are they neighbors or allies?

 

[Argos]

I am actually referring to the terrain that you sent me and i am doing exactly the same. :<

Okay then

Just make sure Direfury is not on a hill pls and make it more like flat. It will be surrounded with spiked wooden pellisades.


----

EDIT:

Daaamn man, "mistakes were made" sorry!

Stormfell is south east and direfury should be surrounded by some smaller mountain/cliffs, but the base itself lies between them.

 

[Strydhaizer]

It will be surrounded with spiked wooden pellisades.

Im not liking those spike palisades from your alpha map (those palisades were too low quality , sucks) , i have more better fences here

 

[Argos]

Alright DD

Make Direfury really look empty and not that bright. It's supposed to be camouflaged with the rest of the landscape.

Btw that cinematic preview. Are you going to make a cinematic or what? (It looks too badass)

 

[kakuzu]

Try again Warlock : Dark Flames (create a dark flames storm in an area ) Hide in Darkness (the warlock become invisible for a set time ) Burning Darkness ( a passible ability , each attack decrese enemy units attack speed ) and ultimate : Abisal Call (summon a frost wrym to crush your enemy )

 

[Chaosy]

I like this one very much.

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...79-war-clans-wc3scrnshot_100414_230954_05.png

Seems like we're getting somewhere

 

[Footman16]

Will all the clans have the same main building?

 

[kakuzu]

This project is becoming more and more popular , it will become a great project !

 

[Heinvers]

Correction, It is a great project already.

Nice snaps Strydy.

 

[kakuzu]

Yeah it is already a great project , i wonder how many downloads it will take in the first month

 

[Argos]

@Footman16 Probably not, but it really depends on our map size. If terrain and basic imports take more than 7.5mb then sadly we will have no other option left.

Thanks everyone for your support and activity on this thread. We could never become what we are today without your help.

 

[kakuzu]

Also Argos what you think about my new warlock ?

 

[Argos]

Too much dark flames dood

Invisibility and frostwyrm doesn't really suit it either. Maybe try to invent some ideas about other intelligence heroes? For example Shaman and Farseer could really use some.
