Warcraft III - Fall of Draenor

[AIagremm]

Actually I loved the draenei flag idea a bit, but it is too banal.

Perhaps a draenei watching Fields of Farahlon and the sea from the mountains?

Dang I'm getting old... Draenosh hehehe...

Shh!!! Keep Company Secrets to Ourselves!

 

[Tleno]

Oh, excuse me... I think we should go back on topic...

 

[Cenurick_Druidhorn]

@Peppers, no worries. I know how infuriating it is when someone copies you and doesn't credit you. To back up Grom though, I myself created a spell (Inferno Incarnation) similar to this idea although mine was a single-target spell, not an AoE, similar to the Dreadlord's Doom. But you can see my point, it's a fairly good and fairly easy premise to replicate.

@Everyone else. It seems to me Shattrath'll be a fairly important part of FoD:
-It's the heart of Draenei society
-It's in Terokkar Forest, next door to Sketis, so it's in Arakkoa territory.
-It creeps in to Nagrand, the homeland of the Orcs
-Ogres...get around a bit XD and Blade's Edge isn't that far away really, just Zangarmash between them

So it makes sense to me to have the main screen involving Shattrath City in some way.

 

[dead-man-walking]

How about... A view from the top of Blade's Edge to a spread-out area of Draenor?

 

[AIagremm]

Didnt I just suggest that? Only with a standing draenei?

Cenurick_Druidhorn, Shattrath will be used as draenei campaign screen.

 

[Cenurick_Druidhorn]

I reckon the main screen shouldn't involve an Arakkoa, Draenei, Orc or Ogre personally. The whole project is essentially about Draenor so I think using any of the main four races would subtly put focus on one of them. In the same way I assumed Reign of Chaos was all about the Orcs and the Humans' conflict based on it's main screen. We could possibly use a Sporeling? If they have any appearance in the main campaigns.

 

[AIagremm]

Then I guess Oshu'gun is the best variant.

 

[Wolfe]

Why not a good/evil screen? One side is lush, for example, the Fields of Farahlon or Terokkar Forest and the other side is desolate and corrupted.

 

[Williams88]

Hey I have been following this thread for awhile I just wanted to say good luck! I am going to DL this when it comes out for sure. As for title screen why not a shot of what really sums up all that was lost after Draenors corruption, you know? Like a shot of Nagrand with the sun rising or something like that? Just a thought.

This man somehow hit the nail for me. With Ogre buildings too, and good terraining generally

Like I said, I don't think we should put emphasis on any of the races...

but perhaps you're right with regards to a serene location like Nagrand or the Fields of Farholan

 

[AIagremm]

Hm... man, this is hard. Persoanlly I think that Oshu'gun is the best variant now, however we may want to show some more falling.

Ok, I got it. First we have to decide wheter we should see something natural and normal or should we see corruption and falling?

 

[Wolfe]

I think something that really captures the feel of Draenor before its cataclysm. A scene that really defines its magnificance. It gives the corruption a bit more flavour. Something that makes the player grasp the severity of the corruption.

 

[AIagremm]

Excellent! Marvelous! Just what we need!

So now the variants include Oshu'gun, view from the mountains and Temple of Karabor.

 

[Williams88]

You know Oshu'gun would be great, have it in the foreground and looking out across the plains of Nagrand with a herd of clefthoof or something. Making multiple title scenes is doable but I think it would be cooler to use the pure/corrupted motif for the orcs. Like use the same background shot for their 2 campaigns (if they still have two I haven't read a lot of the recent pages) one uncorrupted and the other corrupted.

 

[AIagremm]

Hm... interesting idea about the same place and orc, but corrupted.

 

[Williams88]

Here is a layout idea if you are interested. For the uncorrupted version have shaman standing at the edge of a canyon with a view down on the valley floor below with like a traditional semi-nomadic orcish camp next a river. And near the shaman rocks and like knee length grass. For the corrupted version same shot but replace the shaman with a warlock. The river in the valley below is dried up into a ditch and where the camp was is now a fortress in the architecture of Hellfire Citadel. Just a thought.

 

[AIagremm]

The architecture shouldnt change, but I like the rest. However it should be in Hellfire Peninsula.

 

[D0W3R]

How many work you have ended (percents) ?
I can wait when I can try your warcraft3 version or map ^^

 

[AIagremm]

About 12%

 

[D0W3R]

I think this project is the best in all warcraft3 history )) Just don't let your hands down maybe you'll get some trophy, nomination or something else when you end this ))

Hellfire Peninsula would be good for that, I think.

 

[Wolfe]

Nagrand, in my opinion, is probably the worst area of Draenor to use for the corruption. Though, you could probably have (in the distance) floating violet rocks and a tiny view of Stormspire.

I think, for the uncorrupted screen, the Greatmother of the Mag'har next to Oshu'gun, and in the distance a field of clefthoof grazing and then a mag'har settlement laid out like a Native American camp.

True, Nagrand never gets corrupted. It is actually the only region of Draenor to remain, for the most part, practically unscarred by the destruction of the world and the rise of the Horde.

And the use of the Greatmother and a Orcish village would once again put too much focus on the Orcs.

 

[Wolfe]

Perhaps a draenei village? And in the distance, black storm clouds are beginning to form, symbolizing the coming of a great shadow.

Like I said before, any of the four playable races on the opening screen would subtly put focus on one of them.

I personally think just a piece of scenery would be good or an non-playable race of some kind.

But it's ultimatly up to Alagremm.

 

[Deolrin]

Didn't Alagremm just say that he wants either Osh'gun, view from the mountains or the Temple of Karabor?

 

[Wolfe]

It might put focus on them, but really, the main conflict in Draenor was the genocide of the DRAENEI by the ORCS. How about this, Oshu'gun is a place of shamanistic worship for the orcs and it is sacred to both draenei and orcs. Respectively, that puts focus on those two races, no?

 

[Deolrin]

Oshu'gun is the spaceship in which the Draenei got to Draenor, no? :/

 

[AIagremm]

Well actually I wanted the screen to look like this:

Reveal!

But I like the idea of Oshu'gun, but without an orc and dark clouds behind it.

 

[dexm]

How about Dreanei and Orcs fighting and in the distance Oshu'gun ?

 

[Cenurick_Druidhorn]

I quite like the idea of JUST Oshu'gun.
And true, the main conflict on Draenor was primarily between the Orcs and the Draenei, dexm and Wolfe, but to put focus on those two races would make the relevence of the Ogres and Arakkoa and their campaigns seem a little pointless really.

 

[Williams88]

Alagremm you were right about the architecture I totally spaced on that one I kept thinking of Hellfire Citadel which was the only fortification prior to the second war to be built in that style my bad.

 

[dexm]

Then how about huge armies of Ogres,Arakkoa,Orcs and Dreanei fighting and in the back a veiw of Nagrand

 

[AIagremm]

Nah, Oshu'gun fits best I guess. It is the center of peace and stability of Draenor.

 

[Netherdrake]

When will this map enter into an alpha stage? I'd like to see what will goes on

 

[lightning brigade]

I got into modeling just to tell ya! sorry about before....let's just forget about that...

I'm still experimenting at the moment, but I needed to get into it for my own campaign project which I have yet to unveil, if I stumble upon anything, I will donate it kindly, but all I have so far is a WIP model of Warsong Hold. I doubt you'll want it as it isn't for an outland setting. It's for my map, but maybe takakenji could make some adjustments to it... Whatever the case, hope you guys are doing well.

 

[takakenji]

here is the ogre lord

finished it yesterday, thought i'd show you guys

 

[dead-man-walking]

Skin needs to be Darker and Body needs more Crags (Actually, Ogre Lord looks more like a Gronn rather than an Ogre).

 

[AIagremm]

Well actually we will later make a skin for it, because there are know skins in WCIII that fit ogre lords.

 

[dexm]

takakenji you made a pefect Ogre Lord cuz in Blade's Edge ogres are mutated

 

[AIagremm]

They arent mutated in Blade's Edge. Where'd you get that idea?

 

[dexm]

I think that Ogres in Blade's Edge are closser relatives of the Gornn than those in Zamagah

 

[JokeMaster]

What the hell is "Zamagah"?

 

[Wolfe]

He means Zangarmarsh...

 

[JokeMaster]

@dexm Dude learn to write...

 

[AIagremm]

Actually they are all the same. But the Ango'rosh(Zangarmarsh ogres) are swamp trolls and are kind of weak clan.

 

[dexm]

Sorry
