[Strategy / Risk] War of the Clans

[kakuzu]

i have just given ideas

 

[Tal'Rarity]

The Horde of Argos

(Insert names of everyone somewhere in-game as well)

 

[Argos]

Btw Dat-C3 have you found some mistakes in code? We're kinda stuck with it

If you gave me a copy long ago then I kind of deleted it if so.... If you need me to review code give me another copy. I don't usually hold onto other peoples maps unless asked.

Sure, i thought i sent you a message asking you about it some time ago. Sorry then i probably forgot it.

 

[Vincent_Freeman]

How about "The Savages"? It is the name of the band actually, but still fits your map's theme.

Lol, lets just forget about that idea with team name. I think we got more important things which require our attention.

Btw sorry for inactivity, kinda busy at the moment and nothing much to share. I would really appreciate if anyone could look on the code, we have some ugly bug fights here.

 

[Heinvers]

The fantastical director is back naoo ^^

 

[kakuzu]

Welcome back , Argos . Long live the emperor !

 

[Argos]

Im always there... lurking in the shadows

Hopefully i will be available to share some new progress during winter holidays. Working on Gorgar Bestiary right now.

 

[Vinz]

Welcome back!

 

[Argos]

Welcome back!

Lol, why is everybody telling me : "Welcome back!" ?

I know im less active on the thread than i was before, but it is caused by slow progression.

 

[Cherrymage]

On-topic: The test map (i'm not sure if it's latest) is pretty lag......

 

[Strydhaizer]

What i've done in 15 minutes , more to go tomorrow. Just kick me if i forgot to post WIP tomorrow , okay?

Apologize for my laziness


===

In 30 minutes

 

[Heinvers]

Great stuff, keep it going :3

 

[kakuzu]

Looks great !

 

[Strydhaizer]

Just made some final polish , now it is done. Im now moving on to the middle part and the mountain part

C:

 

[kakuzu]

Awesome , so beta is coming ?

 

[Heinvers]

Just made some final polish

...and goooooooo

It has a pleasant feeling, keep it up wretch

 

[Strydhaizer]

Beta is confirmed to come on next year , thats for sho....r....

Anyway , im free next week and so on so i can terrain this shit freely

 

[Argos]

Horray! Winter holidays are almost upon us (atleast for me) = huge amount of free time. I expect some really nice progress.

Btw Strydy, what are your plans for terrain? We already discussed the Overgrowth (swap/jungle) area to the southeast, but since you're expanding more to the northeast i expect some real safari

 

[Vinz]

Nice screens!

Which reminds me I have to take a look at the map.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Cant see any green tiles and props that will fit for the swamp that's why im continuing to expand the yellow barrens part.

---

Valleys and some shit i did yesterday.
Will post the mountains later.

 

[kakuzu]

Great work !

It is not like you are making that map for yourself... You need to listen to Argos, what he is saying...

 

[Heinvers]

Yes but one thing terrainers don't like is restrain. So please no need to say that he's not listening to others.

[Argos]

Oh come on! Im not a dictator... am I?

Im sure Strydy knows what to do and i like the progress so far. Btw, what models/tiles are you missing? Maybe i can get some of them for you.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Green tiles like what's on the reference image ya sent to me long ago.

 

[Wolffman]

Nice work guys, keep going
Hope to see this come to a Prime state soon..

 

[Argos]

We're gonna release The Bestiary soon. It will include information about various creatures inhabiting cruel lands of Gorgar.

 

[Sylvie]

Waiting for it <3

 

[Argos]

Guys any interesting ideas for landscape? Here is really really really simple preview.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Im halfway done , yay!

 

[Argos]

Merry Orcish Christmas guys!!!

 

[Heinvers]

Merry Orcish Christmas to your whole team Argos ^_^

Im halfway done , yay!

So proud of you bro :')

 

[Sylvie]

I don't know... maybe some rivers and waterfalls?

 

[Argos]

I don't know... maybe some rivers and waterfalls?

Sure there will be, but how about something more exotic? Like poisoned swamp or plains with countless bones.

 

[Sylvie]

Bloody dictator. I like it, though.
Also some volcano-like zones? Maybe...

 

[Vincent_Freeman]

Oh, yes! I think dangerous dark jungles with some sort of geyser fields and volcanos (like on Zerus from Starcraft II) will fit wild orcish tribes theme.

 

[Strydhaizer]

Hey Brother , where's the legend you said to me last time , remember?

I will not continue the progress until you give me the legend.

i will be making a legend soon, including lore issues. It might help in synchronizing your ideas and mine. I will also post it in Bestiary.

Right now i dont have any ideas on mountains , the south and the west part. I might need the help of your people.

Well, by small "legend" i meant something like this: (places and names are not final)



Spires of Kerrak is a wasteland with weird looking spires of stone here and there. This scorched region lies between the Mountain and Lowlands. Here are some reference pictures for imagination. (something like Gorgrond in World of Warcraft)

Then we have those Lowlands, which are technicaly immense grassy plains like savannah, home to many savage beasts and predators.

Kor'gal is the swampy overgrowth we talked about. In the heart of The Overgrowth lies home of Kor'gal Clan (renamed Spiritar Clan). It is protected by many obstacles, one of them is river. I had an idea that Kor river could flow from the mountain and continue through Kor'gal. The river (Kor) source could be a huge waterfall, which would give us space to expand storyline.

The mountain should not be that big and southeastern part will be a waterfall and hot springs region as i mentioned above. Im quite unsure about the western part. Maybe you could make it higher and the enterance into spiral shape. I'll send you my "vision" of western mountain side in pm.

 

[MogulKahn]

Waiting for that Bestiary !!!

 

[kakuzu]

Awesome Argos , cant wait !

 

[Argos]

Btw guys, any ideas for unnamed areas or beasts you would like to see there?

 

[Vincent_Freeman]

I think in the north-east of the map, in the Dread Fire clans lands must be smth like Asshai from Game of Thrones - a dark, grim, desolated valleys with bottomless yawning gulf etc.

How would you call it and what special decorations should it contain to suit the terrain? Dead trees are okay, but it needs something really really unique like dense mist or somethin'

Shadowlands, The Veil, Dreadlands, The Dread Approach, The Pit, The Dread Pit, The Rift, Gorge of Dread, Chasm of Shadow, Lair of Shadows

They also use fel magic -> green flames. Dreadfire Clan's members wear skull masks and hold ritual sacrifices in their domain. They are also waging endless war with their neightbours the Skullcrush Clan, which was the main idea for their storyline. Skullcrush Clan's name might have come from their tradition of ritual in which their members must crush a skull of a random creature, but it can have also something in common with Dreadfire's skull masks. Any ideas?

 

[Strydhaizer]

Waterfall.

 

[sonofjay]

Can't you use a different waterfall that doesn't have those ugly waves? Ogre's water fall will fit there better.

 

[Heinvers]

..especially if tinted down accordingly.
