Warcraft III - Fall of Draenor

[lightning brigade]

What about arrakoa? They play a small part but could make for some interesting black magic spells and such.

 

[kingbdogz]

Are you going to remove upkeep? I always thought that was really annoying in Warcraft 3 because it meant that if you put more time into building a large army you'd be even with a small army.

 

[AIagremm]

I think we will because no race in Draenor would pay to its warriors.

We are also going to make the food limit much higher. The battles on Draenor were great and it was the manpower what was important in them.

 

[Narrat0r]

Need a Loading Screen maker, huh? Well, my signature says who is. You need anything?

 

[AIagremm]

I need someone who can draw a Blizzard-styled loading screen.

 

[Narrat0r]

Like a map or something?

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah, in a similar style.

 

[Varine]

Bah go get yourself a water color set, a charcoal pencil, and some tea-soaked paper.

Anyway its a realy interested project. It will be nice. some question:
is it have basic/ advanced build? or only simple?
are there heroes or avatars?
Are there meele maps, or only the story mode?

Thank you, and good work

viktor

 

[AIagremm]

Well it will have only the "simple", however we might change that later.
Well first version of the project will basically be a mod only with melee maps and races.

Yes, there will be heroes, however they will be a bit different.

 

[JokeMaster]

Ala i think i found some quite interesting songs for the soundtrack of the mod.

 

[Netherdrake]

Yes, there will be heroes, however they will be a bit different.

May we peek on what's going about "different" heroes?

 

[AIagremm]

JokeMaster, tell me more...

Cakekun, though the heroes will be in basis like in normal WCIII, they will be revived, they can carry items, can level and use abilities, but they also will have some unic features which I cannot reveal yet.

 

[Cthulus]

As did I, JokeMaster. I think that we should definitely use some Native American music. I have a CD at home, and it's got some nice stuff.

 

[JokeMaster]

I think we shuld make a mix. Bit clasic bit rock and a bit of that http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=iqibop (why can't i sleep?)

 

[AIagremm]

Great Troll Mod music? Anyway, very nice, they did do a great job, too bad they never finished.

 

[JokeMaster]

Yep...But the music is fitting. Trolls-Orc Dwarves-Arrakoa/Ogre Elves(sunwell)-Draenei.

 

[AIagremm]

Well we cant take it. It was made by another mod.

The great codex of modmaking forbids to use resources made by other mods, even not completed. The only way to use resources of another mod allowed by the codex is using resources that were never released to the public and given to you exactly by their creator or leader of the never released mod.

 

[JokeMaster]

Oh...I'll try to make something with it, but i give no promise it will be succesfull.

 

[Cthulus]

Native American? Maybe a bit of.. Blackrock and Roll!
I know it doesn't work, but it's still funny.

 

[Tleno]

Sorry I didn't even commented about what I think about your storyline/campaing or whatever earlier, its just that I don't thing I could be useful some way... but I can allways give you an advice or share an idea...

 

[Elthehablo]

I love the Clefthoof model, can't wait for a Gronn model!

 

[Zaljinzoo]

Hey guys, it's been a long time sense I've posted on this, how's it going? I'm getting better at modeling and skinning, the three newest pics in my album are my more recent works if you guys need a modeler/skinner, also lemme know if you guys need some more hero/unit concepts

 

[AIagremm]

I think you still need more practice, but you have improved greatly.

 

[Ale_tuskarr]

if this campaign will have the Blizzardy feel it will rule the hive. The other campaigns just seem...hollow.

I hope you finish it and make it professional.
(if you could get someone to voice act for the cinematics it would be just...EPIC!)

Anyway, good luck with the project! It's an amazing project!

 

[AIagremm]

Actually its a mod. Yes, we are trying to make it look like if it was an actual addon to WCIII, like The Frozen Throne, however there will be some major changes.

Anyway I got something important for all you people out there...
I need your opinion on one of the FoD concepts:

Artifacts for Buildings

 

[Hjorleif]

What do you mean by, "Artifacts for buildings"?

 

[AIagremm]

Artifacts that can be put in buildings in order to improve their defence, attack and maybe even guve abilities and increase production speed.

 

[dead-man-walking]

So, it's similar to Age of Mythology's Artifacts, except it only improve the building they were placed on and don't give any global upgrades.

 

[Zaljinzoo]

Sounds pretty cool to me, lemme make sure I understand what you mean tho

An example would be like you kill an optional creature that really strong, but if you kill him he'll give you something like Artifact of the Mason and you bring it to your Great Hall/Town Hall whatever and all your buildings get +5 armor or something similar, right?

 

[AIagremm]

No, they only work for the building in which you insert them.

Wait I have an even better idea! We may make some sort of artifact tower. A special building for each race in which you can put different artifacts to improve your army, resource gathering, buildings, speed of researches and unit production.

 

[dead-man-walking]

It will be way too similar with Age of Mythology's system.

 

[Tleno]

Yes, you could put an artifact into your temple and recieve a special bonus (Like I loved the artifact that allowed your temple to spawn monkeys...). Thats actually a nice system plus, well, it has differences from the AoM.

 

[AIagremm]

PLus it kinda fits. I mean Shadow Council Treasury would be nice.

 

[Tleno]

Hmmm... thats a great idea, but what artifacts are you thinking about?

 

[AIagremm]

What do you mean?

 

[Tleno]

I just asked you if you already came up with artifact names/effects...

 

[AIagremm]

Oh that. Well I have some ideas like Apexis Crystal and Glyph of Stone.

 

[Zaljinzoo]

Ahh, hm, artifact temple? Sounds good to me

 

[AIagremm]

It would give a quite unic touch to the project, wouldnt it? And we need unic stuff.

Right now Im working on new ways of resources gathering.

 

[Cthulus]

Like the Artifacts idea.
"Access to the Vault"
What other resource gathering ideas do you have?

 

[supertoinkz]

There were no wyverns in Draenor
at least there were eagles

This is WiP version of my model, Elven Eagle Rider

While the orc was there (which will be replaced by the High Elven archer later), I decided to share it

 

[AIagremm]

Yes, however Draenorian eagles are relatives of kaliri.

Anyway, looks good. Because some units are needed for melee gameplay, but dont fit the lore, most flying units will only be in melee games.

We could even use the Hippogryph Rider system for all races.

 

[dead-man-walking]

So, we will give all races flying mount big enough to carry them? EVEN OGRES? D:

 

[AIagremm]

Good point... ok, only orcs will have that.

Anyway I got an important question for you people. I am remaking the FoD storyline to its final state and there is one thing that I need you to choose and without which I cannot finish it.

Who will be the main character of the ogre campaign?

• Dentarg, apprentice of Ner'zhul
• Cho'gall, Apprentice of Gul'dan
• Mogor, Chieftain of Laughing Skull

 

[dead-man-walking]

Dentarg. Ogres need to be less "Evil". Oh, Cho'gall is already an apprentice of Gul'dan? I thought he become his apprentice after the First War (Same Question Goes For Dentarg).

 

[Tleno]

Hmmm... well since you're gonna lead the ogres as their leader, maybe Mogor would be more logical?

 

[AIagremm]

Well all will be in the campaign but we need a main character. Yes, I too think that Dentarg fits most.

 

[JokeMaster]

I say answer D Blackheart

 

[AIagremm]

Hey, actually I wanted to make that the fourth variant, but he plays a minor role in the story and is only in Auchindoun missions and ogre campaign as a secondary characrter.

So he wont be the main character, but he will be in the ogre campaign.
