Warcraft III - Fall of Draenor

[AIagremm]

ENOUGH! No more off-topic in FoD thread!
You want to unleash wrath of Rui upon us?

Also here are the alpha techtrees:

Draenei

Arakkoa

Orc

Note that disciple is actually Harbinger in draenei techtree, I made a mistake.
Also orcish heroes were refigured by me and JokeMaster.
Orcish altar is called Altar of Honor.

 

[Bernkastel]

Interesting.. Where's the ogre? :3

 

[AIagremm]

I havent made it yet, however I already made concepts of all of it

 

[lightning brigade]

Sorry I couldn't send you the sound, I'm on vacation and I was at the beach. I have an example of an ogre, also remember to make the races unique. That's what mods are about. Orcs should have a completely different tech tree also. One more thing, you do know how to export object data right?

EDIT: Sent, did you get the voices?

 

[Cavman]

Ideas for the Orc.

Altar of Stones/Earth/Spirits
Townhalls
-Tier1-Lodge
-Tier2-Camp
-Tier3-Great Hall
Elemental Tier (instead of Rise of Elements)

Also, the Draenei don't have a basic/infantry ranged unit?

 

[Piwlady]

I gotta say this sounds one damn splendid project.. i have been watching this thread for few days.. i'm curious what is coming up

 

[AIagremm]

No, they dont. Hm, the townhalls should be somehow different.
Altar will be Altar of Honor I think. I also had Spirits variant.

lightning brigade, well we will, for example we wont have ranged siege units, but intead will have ram units. I will check it in the morning.

Happy New 2010 Year!

 

[lightning brigade]

Not new year here just yet, but just check your e-mail 'fore you go to bed, and check out the sound. If that's what you want attach it. Then people will get a feel for it.

 

[supertoinkz]

what if the Ogre workers can get weapons (like clubs you know) from the "blacksmith" structure to transform to the Ogre's "footman" unit.

The blacksmith should make weapons trough researching it, maximum 8 weapons per "blacksmith".

If the "barracks" building trained the "footman" unit, they can drop their weapon to the "blacksmith" building to transform to the "worker" unit.

Just like that.

 

[Bernkastel]

I think you should remove some things from the ''what we need'' thing?

 

[AIagremm]

Lightning brigade sounds interesting. However you need to sound more brutal! ^^
But I think that you can very well voice ogre worker.

supertoinkz, interesting idea, though it is kinda strange, and would most likely ruin the balance. But we could use this idea somehow, maybe it will be ogre way to make a "footman".

Garshilan I removed unneeded vacancies from the list and finally edited the member list.
If I forgot someone or made something wrong, please tell me!

 

[Deolrin]

supertoinkz, interesting idea, though it is kinda strange, and would most likely ruin the balance.

You mean like how Orc Peons can go into burrows, Human Peasants can turn into militia, Wisps can destroy armies of summoned units AND drain some mana in a huge AoE on the way, and how two Acolyte's can kill five peons\peasants?

 

[AIagremm]

Oh right, acolytes are a ranged unit.
Hm, then I guess it is better to make it happen in ogre town hall, turning ogre slave into ogre clubman!

Also Initiates(Arakkoa workers) will be similar to Wisps - they will die while building a building with tree(sacrifising themselves to Terokk so that his dark powers would grow a tree) and we can make some sort of dark sacrifise ability.

 

[Deolrin]

Acolyte's aren't ranged? :S

They just have more attack and attack speed.

 

[supertoinkz]

well, the Forge Weapon research costs resources of course
if it would happen to the hall, it would look like a Militia <-> Peasant system of the humans (well, not literally the same)

I will voice certain ogres, but would you do the honors of voicing the drainie?(That is granted you know how to speak english) They apparently have russian accents. Post your voice and see if you have the a good kind of accent(like I said if you can't speak english we'll get someone else).

 

[AIagremm]

I can, plus I can almost hget rid of accent if I try really hard.
I have some experience impersonating voices, so I think voicing draenei wont be that hard.
They dont have russian accent in my opinion, their accent is something special.

However I should speak very carefully, draenei have cery clear phoenetix.

 

[lightning brigade]

Very cool! I'm going to try and voice an arrakoa and I'll send it to you and tell me what you think. I almost forget what they sound like so tell me if I'm totally off.

 

[AIagremm]

Squicky bird-like voice. Arakkoa speekng anything else then Ravenspeechsounds like that: "Today I went to the SQUAK bakery, and bought RA-AAK buns"

 

[Deolrin]

Alagremm, in fact, I'm quite certain Draenei have at least minor Russian accent. Being Russian myself and all, you know. More like a combination Russian and Spanish accents.

 

[AIagremm]

Frown akai crystol... Good health - long life!(Pretty strange saying for a race that seems to be immortal - draenei dont die of age)
Indeed, I made a mistake, there really is Russian(and a bit Spanish) accent.
Also something else, small tinch of something...

EDIT: OMFG! I lost my microphone
Guess I'll have to ask somebody to borrow one.

 

[dab]

Alagremm, heres your asked new logo! Everybody, go go, comment!

 

[Deolrin]

Dab, this is amazing! If only the "III" wasn't so blurry, and if only the background wasn't there, and if only it wasn't so square-ish and would be more wide instead of high.

Comming up!

 

[Deolrin]

The background is cool and all, but not really nice looking when it's used on a forum page or even in-game. It would be cool to have it more like the real WC3 logo, no background but a slightly awesome glow and that stone "background" like thing it's imbued on(but that could actually be the crystals). Also, you can find the real Warcraft font here, I'm sure it will look nicer.

 

[AIagremm]

I agree with debode, however I really like the result even now!
Keep on the good job Dab!

Yeah, got the real Warcraft font, even tho, you'll never be able to recreate the warcraft logo without copy-pasting, therefor i thought using similar images would look cooler than LifeCraft(the guy you linked to renamed it for credits it seems?) font with a little effects on? And btw, then the lower font is Morpheus/Abbadon, so dw, i got the fonts for it

 

[Bernkastel]

That logo is total awesomeness!

 

[dab]

Edited for more spacing in the width and minor flaws corrected:


Still havent fixed the blurriness, as i've scaled it up from something smaller.

 

[supertoinkz]

uhm, does our MAIN 2d artist will also mod the menus? (like the LAN button, Singleplayer button, etc)

Well, could be nice, even tho i think they are intergraded into the .exe file of warcraft.

 

[AIagremm]

Much better! Looks cool!
Editing the buttons would be quite good, because you've seen how the standart WCIII Menu buttons look on draenei UI.
Anyway, good job!

 

[lightning brigade]

Would you like me to get to work on the loading screens? I can work with dab on that. Would you like it to be 3d like in the blizzard campaigns?

On for it

 

[AIagremm]

Also, we may edit the site. Do you think it would look good if we take this part from the FoD site and put the newmade logo on place of "Fall of Draenor" words?

Like this?:

 

[AIagremm]

Yeah! I will edit the site immediatly!

Its good to have you back dab.

 

[Deolrin]

Hmm, well, this looks nice to me.

 

[AIagremm]

WTF? Anyway, looks nice, but simple, doesnt it?

 

[dab]

Yeah! I will edit the site immediatly!

Ofc

EDIT: Even smaller flaws edited:

 

[AIagremm]

Could you make a logo version that is two times smaller, please?
I want to put this awesome logo in the first page of this thread.

Cant make it myself - MS Paint

Sure

 

[AIagremm]

Thanks! ^^

 

[lightning brigade]

I don't want anyone else downloading the logo so instead of sending me the logo, I'll send you the loading screen? I'm going to try n' make the logo for the ogre campaign.

I'm standardizing the loading screen at 600x800, tell me quickly if you want something different.

No, not at all. Sounds fine.

 

[supertoinkz]

remember to update the member list ;C

 

[lightning brigade]

Here ya go, I made this as a First Draft. I hope ya guys like it. It may not be that good, but I didn't really know what to make. Tell me what you think. I used a nagrand background from wow, tell me if you want just a regular forest background rather than a wow background. Anyways, here it is.

Well, to start with, the background is fine, even tho you need to keep the original aspects, else it'll look VERY mashed together. I somehow seem to like the ogre's, even tho they might need a bit more scaling upwards.

EDIT: And i see you used the Baby Kruffy font You might wanna consider choosing something more lore-ish?

 

[lightning brigade]

I wasn't sure what to look for. I'll scale the ogres, and can you tell me how to streamline a picture so that everything is meshed well? I can merge it and make it look good. Do you have a specific font in mind that will be Lore-ish?

Well, Abbadon(http://www.dafont.com/abaddon.font), Morpheus(http://www.dafont.com/Morpheus.font), LifeCraft(http://www.dafont.com/lifecraft.font) and Mael(http://www.1001fonts.com/font_details.html?font_id=2604)

Now, about the streaming a picture, the most important rule is to not get everything, but to keep the original aspects( if its 600x400, then if you want it smaller, you need to do 300x200), or you will end up with stuff that doesn't look very good.

Second, what program are you using?(Not saying i can supply any, but that GIMP is far to prefer from MS Paint)
