Foreword
Hello Hivers, I am finally glad and happy to be able to release a project on this website! For those of you who followed my previous Second War/Warcraft II project, this is a fairly similar one in a sense, but very different in another, this will explained later on. I have stated the beta is open-ish because while I do not plan to release any maps yet, upon request I will send you a link to the current map and you will be able to test it/ play it. We are currently hosting this beta on U.S. East numerous times during the weekend but usually is packed. All in all I am happy to present this to you, and I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Introduction
From the lush and vast forests of the tranquil lands of Quel'Thalas to the dangerous yet exotic sands of Stranglethorn and even to the reddish and hellish planet of Draenor, Warcraft Age of Chaos, will allow you to explore a world full of troubles, deceit, treachery and most importantly, war. Welcome to the art of Warcraft, this is the Age of Chaos.
Warcraft Age of Chaos is a unique blend of Strategy and Role Play, intended to be played in both ways, but can simply be played respectively alone. Most ask, "What is this Strategy-RP you speak off?" and the answer is; Strategy Role Play is a unique experience of your classic RTS build-em-up game combined with Role Playing experiences where you RP not as a single character, but as an entire nation. Although Azeroth Wars, Dark Ages of Warcraft and even sometimes Risks can be role playable, they lack the uniqueness of role play because they focus on the strategic side of the map (understandable since after all, it wasn't intended to be role playable). What Warcraft Age of Chaos does is combine features from well known and loved maps such as Azeroth Wars, WoW Risk and the SotDRP series and place them all into a single map (with my own unique features of course), Warcraft Age of Chaos.
As implied in the title, the map will feature in the Age of Chaos timeline, mainly focusing on the early stage of this Chaotic Age, the First and Second Wars, with brief features from the Third. Currently the map is only orientated with these sections but will expand into the Lands of Conflicts and the Cataclysm granting experiences from all the Blizzard games set in the Warcraft World.
I would like to thank Priwin for allowing me to use his basic Eastern Kingdoms terrain to base my map upon and expand it from there and Avrion himself for making it for Priwin. I would like to thank all of Clan xAGx for helping me test the map and all the modders, skinners, iconners and ideas men from both the Hive and Warcraft 3.
Gameplay
Warcraft Age of Chaos features a mix between Strategy Building games and Risk games. As such, bases are build-able from Build Plots which any race and take over and build their own cities in the place of former echelons and train their soldiers, but there are no worker units (which in my opinion, ruins the atmosphere).
Your main income source comes from your major -named- cities but also from Fortified Keeps, small towns and natural resources such as Oil Fields. Income is used to construct mighty defences or mighty armies.
Another feature of this map is the fact that Player 1 (Host) is also the DM/GM (Dungeon Master/Game Master) who controls events, income and many other things, allowing the game master to orientate the game in any direction he or she wants. The game master is responsible for ensuring role play goes as planned, handing out custom/player made events or pre-made events by myself and giving heroes and land fairly to suit the scenario the game master wishes to play.
