Firstly, YAY! MY FAVORITE FACTION IS HERE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Secondly, I managed to check it out and encountered a problem that you'll have to fix...the T3 upgrade doesn't work...

Sigh. Anything else?

 

[nhs325]

High Elf Remnants wont be added. The other two will.

Wait why? I love the hero with the golem summon lol, but is the faction unbalanced?
Also still waiting on a Lost Ones revamped too, love you.

 

[TheVoidSlayer]

Sigh. Anything else?

Just sent this as proof, I had previously constructed all possible buildings, improvements, and even attempted towers. But what are the requirements there?

Damn dude, you are a legend! All those years and still making content for the game, Activizzard could never. It's always impressive how dedicated moders/map makers can be for a game, especially doing it all in majority for free.
Can't wait for Tauren and Kul Tiran! Love their global hot bar abilities, wish more factions had such mechanic, it spices up gameplay real good.
Small question: I'm not asking for them, just curious, why no standalone Naga faction? Illidari are cool with their 3-way mechanic but considering majority of the faction already had assets it feels like it would be easier to add them.

I appreciate it.
Custom UI stuff is a good way to spice it up.
Naga is one of the most popular and oversaturated factions people make, there's not much I can add to it that hasn't already been done. I'm just not interested. There's plenty of other less popular factions I'd rather make.

Hello. I previously mentioned that I'll be checking out the other factions to find bugs & typos, and make suggestions. I also mentioned that the next faction I'll review will be the Fel Horde, which is the first faction I ever played and my favorite. I found some bugs and typos in your Fel Horde faction too. I also wanted to state my own suggestions regarding the Fel Horde faction.

BUGS:

Boar Farm:

• The Fel Boars generated by Boar Farm do not move to Rally Point.
  
  
  
  
  

Slave:

• Slave has +2.0 HP regeneration instead of +0.2 HP regeneration.

Bruiser:

• After using the Chaotic Rage ability, the unit's name changes to Fel Horde – Bruiser.
  
  

Warlock:

• Warlock quickly heals when casting the Sacrificial Pact ability but the ability tooltip doesn't inform like that.
  
  
  
  
  

Dark Shaman:

• Toxic Air dummy unit can be selectable. It can be unselectable by adding Locust ability.
  
  
• After using the Corrupt Fire ability, the unit's name changes to Fel Horde – Dark Shaman.
  
  
• Corrupt Fire does not grant True Sight, attack but the ability tooltip states that Corrupt Fire grants True Sight.
  
  

Tormentor:

• Units with Unbound debuff don't take damage when moving every movement. Sometimes they take damage, sometimes not.
• Unbound causes 15% chance to miss on an attack but the ability tooltip doesn't inform like that.
  
  

Drummer:

• The Drummer can carry up to 4 items at once instead of 2 items. Kodo Rider can carry up to 4 items at once.
  
  

Heroes:

• The gold and lumber requirements for heroes differ. Warlord requires 400 Gold / 100 Lumber, Necrolyte & Barbarian requires 425 Gold / 100 Lumber, and Executioner requires 425 Gold / 135 Lumber.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

Hero – Barbarian:

• War Shout attack damage debuff cannot be dispelled while War Shout attack rate debuff can be dispelled. War Shout attack damage debuff must be dispelled.

Hero – Warlord:

• After using the Malice ability, the walking animation is played and the hero's name changes to Fel Horde – Warlord.
  
  
  
  
  

Hero – Executioner:

• After using the Equip Bows ability, the hero's name changes to Fel Horde – Executioner.
  
  
• Marked for Death: Level 1 deals 5 damage per second instead of 6.

SUGGESTIONS:

Rampart:

• Rampart requires a lot of gold to build (425 gold 195 lumber). Maybe you wanted to balance the faction like this because the faction is quite strong (in older versions this faction was much stronger).
  
  

Bastion:

• Both the primary structure (Rampart/Bastion/Bulwark) in the Fel Horde faction and the primary structure (Bastion/Grand Hold/Sacrarium) in the High Elves faction have the name Bastion. The name of either faction can be changed. I am suggesting a name change for High Elves faction Bastion. (Also High Elf UI Time Indicator (Day/Night) is bugged. I don't suggest Dota 2 based UI's.)
  
  
  
  
  

War Tower:

• Unlike your other factions, War Tower does not have any abilities. Just like your other factions, War Tower should also have abilities. I would say that the Piercing damage type can be changed to Chaos damage type, but if that is the case, the tower will be very powerful. Instead, Piercing damage type remains, but a certain percentage of the damage can be dealt as Piercing damage type and a certain percentage as Chaos damage type. Thus, War Tower will also have the Chaos damage-type capability.
  
  

Dragon Roost:

• Dragon Roost pathing map is as small as the boar farm building. Pathing map area should be updated to 12x12 (PathTextures\12x12Simple.tga)
  
  
• The name Dragon Roost does not suit the Tauren Totem-looking building. The building model can be replaced with the Fel Horde textured vanilla Dragon Roost building model, or the building name can be changed without changing the building model. (This building was called "Totem of Doom" in Ultimate Battle maps.)
  
  
  
  
  

Bruiser:

• Chaotic Rage ability does not actually deal 4 damage per second, it sets Bruiser's HP regeneration to -4.0. Bruiser has +0.15 HP regeneration. In order for the ability to deal 4 damage per second, Bruiser's HP regeneration should be set to -3.85 instead of -4.0, or more appropriately, the ability's cast should apply an undispellable debuff to the unit that actually deals 4 damage per second.
• Chaotic Rage ability that gives 5 bonus damage can state it as +5 in green will create the impression that bonus damage is added. +5 attack damage can be created by adding bonus item ability.
  
  

Crossbowman:

• Crossbowman food cost could be either 2 or 3. (Bruiser food cost is 3). This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
  
  

War Station:

• War Station doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when War Station is taking up 3 Slaves (or XX% Siege + XX% Chaos damage).
• The projectile angle doesn't quite match the model. The projectile angle could be increased slightly.
  
  

Warlock:

• No lumber need to train a Warlock. Lumber should be also required for training a Warlock.
  
  
• The Warlock has 400 max mana without any training upgrades. The Dark Shaman and Tormentor have 200 max mana without any training upgrades. For balancing purposes, the Warlock should have 200 max mana instead of 400.
  
  
• The Warlock attack projectile model seems to be quite outdated. Every time Warlock attacks I see a flaming Lich head flying. Also when Warlock units attack there is no projectile launch SFX.
  
  
• Warlock doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Fel Energy can grant XX% bonus Chaos damage instead of increase target friendly units damage by 100%. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Dark Shaman:

• Toxic Air can also reduce health regeneration and healing (health restoration) XX% percent (You can use Heal Event to do it. Negative Draenei Gift of Naaru racial bonus ability). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• The Summon Molten Giant ability summons a Lesser Molten Giant. The “Lesser” adjective should be removed.
  
  
  
  
  
• The Summon Molten Giant ability is summoned with meteor falling from the sky spell effect, but wouldn't it be more compatible with the spell effect if Summon Molten Giant ability was an Inferno-based ability? Or the ability cast will create a dummy and this dummy will cast the Inferno-based Summon Molten Giant ability in front of the caster (No target ability like War Stomp).
  
  
• Dark Shaman (Corrupt Fire) model uses Corrupt Fire ability icon.
  
  
• Dark Shaman food cost could be either 2 or 3. (Warlock & Tormentor food cost are 2). This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Tormentor:

• No lumber need to train a Tormentor. Lumber should be also required for training a Tormentor.
  
  
• A spell effect should be added when bonus damage is triggered during Drain Soul. I can't tell if the unit took Chaos damage, so I don't know if the Drain Soul debuff is working. There might be a bug in the Drain Soul debuff.

Rager:

• Rager doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Unarmored units also takes Chaos damage from Knockout ability. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Drummer:

• Strums of Bloodsheed is actually the vanilla Warcraft III ability Endurance Aura.
• Drummer doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Strums of Bloodshed also gives bonus Chaos damage to nearby units. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• The old War Drummer ability could be overhauled. The War Drummer ability was granting the Drummer Chaos damage-type, increasing hit point regeneration by 5, granting attack ground units & buildings, and enhancing the Strums of Bloodshed aura, but rendered Drummer immobile.
  

Marauder:

• Marauder doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Burning Blade grants bonus Chaos damage instead of increase attack damage. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Burning Blade flame buff model (spell effect) and ability icon could be change to fel flame (green colored flame).
  
  

Impaler:

• Impaler doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when attacks unleash three felbolts (green colored firebolts) that deal Chaos damage to nearby enemy units (Felfire). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Impaler food cost should be 5 instead of 4.
  
  
• A spell effect should be added during Swift Flight buff.
  
  
• The Impaler could require the Drakefire ability research upgrade, instead of Swift Flight ability. I think elite units should have offensive upgrade requirements (like Gryphon Rider – Storm Hammers or Tauren – Pulverize).
  

Hero – Barbarian:

• Barbarian, unlike other Fel Horde heroes, does not have the Chaos damage-type capability. Mutilate can deal Chaos damage, or bonus Mayhem damage with a percentage chance to deal Chaos damage. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• A spell effect should be added when bonus damage is triggered during Mayhem.
• Proper names (Mranak, Bryruk, Sahai, Dang, Larag, Xoratk, Derk. Crashnak, Karg) don’t have a surname. Surname should be added to proper names.

Hero – Warlord:

• The Warlord portrait may be positioned slightly closer, as in the previous version of the model.
  
  
  
  
  
• A spell effect (debuff) should be added when disarm is triggered by Butcher ability.
• Blood Aura model color could be changed to red instead of white or Blood Aura model could be reverted (4 red skull aura model).
  
  
  
  
  

Hero – Necrolyte:

• It can be easily understood from the green text that the Rot ability is Shadow Strike based. It can be arranged as an Acid Bomb based ability.
  
  
• The Sacrament ability seems quite outdated. A new ability can be created instead of this ability. Also, the Sacrament unit uses the Voidwalker model, which is a creep model, and the other lesser Sacrament units they spawn use the same model as the main Sacrament unit. Sacrament (spawned unit) ability icon is Raise Dead.
  
  
• Necrotic Aura can also reduce health regeneration and healing (health restoration) XX% percent (You can use Heal Event to do it. Negative Draenei Gift of Naaru racial bonus ability). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Necrolyte unit sound set is Drek'Thar. This unit sound set is not suitable for such a female hero.
• Proper names (Paincarrier, Stabber, Deathbiter, Redscar, Swiftchaos, Voidstriker, Blood) don’t have a name. Name should be added to proper names.

Hero – Execucioner:

• Equip Bow / Equip Dagger hotkey should be D instead of T, in my opinion. If a hero has a 5. ability, its hotkey should be D to be compatible with the QWER system.
  
  
• In the Marked for Death ability, since the hero uses a bow for casting the ability, it should throw a projectile that deals minor damage. (Similar to Storm Bolt, but deals less physical damage and doesn't stun.)
• A spell effect should be added when Chaos bonus damage is triggered by Dirty Tricks. I can't tell if the unit took Chaos damage, so I don't know if the Dirty Tricks bonus Chaos damage is working. There might be a bug in the Dirty Tricks bonus Chaos damage.
• The Shade unit appears when the Elaborate ability is used. The Shade unit should not be present during Elaborate. The Far Sight model color should changed to red.
  
  

Item – Blood Fountain:

• No unit sound set. Moon Well building sounds could be added.
• The building model and collision size could be increased.
  
  
• Night Elf explosion effect color could be changed to red instead of blue.

Item – Orb of Anarchy:

• Orb of Anarchy item icon and debuff icon is same as Orb of Slow icon. Orb of Anarchy item icon and debuff icon could be changed with another orb icon.

Upgrade – Bolts of Savagery:

• Bolts of Savagery upgrade should also require Forge additional to Bastion.
  
  

Fel Attack Mechanic:

• Fel Attack deals 75% damage to heroes and buildings, but this does not inform the player. The fact that Fel Attack deals 75% damage to heroes and buildings should be informed to the player. Also, abilities that deal Chaos damage, such as First Blood / Bolts of Savagery, Rot, Necrotic Aura, Drain Soul, Abyssal Missile etc., deal 100% damage instead of 75% damage to heroes and buildings.

General:

• You may need to update the icons for research upgrades and unit spells in this faction.

TYPOS:

Slave:

• Slave’s Bond: Friendly units attackng (i is missing) the Slave restore hit points based on damage they deal.
• Improved Slave’s Bond upgrade does not increase level of Slave’s Bond ability, but it does grant bonus hit points and Slave’s Bond restore hit point effectiveness. There is no techtree requirement for the Slave’s Bond ability. I consider it as a typo that it does not increase level of Slave’s Bond ability.

Fel Boar:

• Tooltip is pretty poor: Attack the Fel Boar to heal the attacker.

Bruiser / Bruiser (Chaos):

• Chaotic Rage: The blood of the demons throws the Bruiser into a chaotic rage, giving it Chaos damage-type (and 5 bonus damage), but dealing 4 damage per second for 15 seconds.

Crossbowman:

• Bolts of Savagery upgrade does not increase level of First Blood ability, but it does grant attack range. There is no techtree requirement for the First Blood ability. I consider it as a typo that it does not increase level of First Blood ability.

• Acrimony: Grants nearby friendly unit bonus armor and life-steal (lifesteal).

Hero – Barbarian:

• Warrior Hero, adept at dispatching individual units and hit-and-run (hit and run) tactics.

Hero – Executioner / Hero – Executioner (Ranged):

• Daggers and Bow: The hero cn (a is missing) switch between ranged and melee combat. Bow grants additional damage and even more against heroes, but reduces armor and attack rate.
• Vendetta: For a short time the hero gains immunity to (pierced) ranged damage (still can be damaged by other attack types) and moves twice as fast.
• Dirty Tricks: Each attack dealt has a chance to inflict a random debuff.. (two dots) (Hero – Executioner (Ranged)).
• Elaborate: Manifests the battlefield with vision, granting a massive area of vision and detection of stealthed units. The player's hreoes (heroes) move 50% faster while active, and each kill the Executionre (Executioner) makes restores 20% hit and mana points.

Lesser Molten Giant:

Actually, the next faction I was going to review was the Lost Ones (I'm following the release order in the race overview), but since that faction won't be updated for a while, the next faction I'll review will be the High Elves.

Naga is one of the most popular and oversaturated factions people make, there's not much I can add to it that hasn't already been done. I'm just not interested. There's plenty of other less popular factions I'd rather make.

I'd really like to create a Naga altered melee map with truly balanced and unique mechanics someday. Yes, the Naga race is very popular and oversaturated, but none of them quite reflect the mechanics and balancing I imagine. I have an idea in mind to add different bonuses on watery areas to the different unit-types (like Undead Nerubian Guards gaining movement speed bonus on blighted areas).

EDIT: Another suggestion regarding Impaler has been added. An image has been added to illustrate the features of the old War Drummer ability. (17.03.2026)

EDIT-2: A suggestion regarding Orb of Anarchy has been added. A suggestion regarding Fel Attack Mechanic has been added. A typo regarding Nether Rider has been added. (17.03.2026)

EDIT-3: A suggestion regarding Dark Shaman has been added. (21.03.2026)

Hello. I previously mentioned that I'll be checking out the other factions to find bugs & typos, and make suggestions. I also mentioned that The next faction I'll review will be the Fel Horde, which is the first faction I ever played and my favorite. I found some bugs and typos in your Fel Horde faction too. I also wanted to state my own suggestions regarding the Fel Horde faction.

BUGS:

Boar Farm:

• The Fel Boars generated by Boar Farm do not move to Rally Point.

Bastion:

• Both the primary structure (Rampart/Bastion/Bulwark) in the Fel Horde faction and the primary structure (Bastion/Grand Hold/Sacrarium) in the High Elves faction have the name Bastion. The name of either faction can be changed. I am suggesting a name change for High Elves faction Bastion. (Also High Elf UI Time Indicator (Day/Night) is bugged. I don't suggest Dota 2 based UI's.)

War Tower:

• Unlike your other factions, War Tower does not have any abilities. Just like your other factions, War Tower should also have abilities. I would say that the Piercing damage type can be changed to Chaos damage type, but if that is the case, the tower will be very powerful. Instead, Piercing damage type remains, but a certain percentage of the damage can be dealt as Piercing damage type and a certain percentage as Chaos damage type. Thus, War Tower will also have the Chaos damage-type capability.

Dragon Roost:

• Dragon Roost pathing map is as small as the boar farm building. Pathing map area should be updated to 12x12 (PathTextures\12x12Simple.tga)
  View attachment 578524
• The name Dragon Roost does not suit the Tauren Totem-looking building. The building model can be replaced with the Fel Horde textured vanilla Dragon Roost building model, or the building name can be changed without changing the building model. (This building was called "Totem of Doom" in Ultimate Battle maps.)

Bruiser:

• Chaotic Rage ability does not actually deal 4 damage per second, it sets Bruiser's HP regeneration to -4.0. Bruiser has +0.15 HP regeneration. In order for the ability to deal 4 damage per second, Bruiser's HP regeneration should be set to -3.85 instead of -4.0, or more appropriately, the ability's cast should apply an undispellable debuff to the unit that actually deals 4 damage per second.
• Chaos Rage ability that gives 5 bonus damage can state it as +5 in green will create the impression that bonus damage is added. +5 attack damage can be created by adding bonus item ability.
  View attachment 578526

Crossbowman:

• Crossbowman food cost could be either 2 or 3. (Bruiser food cost is 3). This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
  View attachment 578527

War Station:

• War Station doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when War Station is taking up 3 Slaves (or XX% Siege + XX% Chaos damage).
• The projectile angle doesn't quite match the model. The projectile angle could be increased slightly.
  View attachment 578529

Warlock:

• No lumber need to train a Warlock. Lumber should be also required for training a Warlock.
  View attachment 578530
• The Warlock has 400 max mana without any training upgrades. The Dark Shaman and Tormentor have 200 max mana without any training upgrades. For balancing purposes, the Warlock should have 200 max mana instead of 400.
  View attachment 578531
• The Warlock attack projectile model seems to be quite outdated. Every time Warlock attacks I see a flaming Lich head flying. Also when Warlock units attack there is no projectile launch SFX.
  View attachment 578532
• Warlock doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Fel Energy can grant XX% bonus Chaos damage instead of increase target friendly units damage by 100%. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Dark Shaman:

• Toxic Air can also reduce health regeneration and healing (health restoration) XX% percent (You can use Heal Event to do it. Negative Draenei Gift of Naaru racial bonus ability). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• The Summon Molten Giant ability summons a Lesser Molten Giant. The “Lesser” adjective should be removed.
  View attachment 578533
  View attachment 578534
• The Summon Molten Giant ability is summoned with meteor falling from the sky spell effect, but wouldn't it be more compatible with the spell effect if Summon Molten Giant ability was an Inferno-based ability? Or the ability cast will create a dummy and this dummy will cast the Inferno-based Summon Molten Giant ability in front of the caster (No target ability like War Stomp).
  View attachment 578535
• Dark Shaman (Corrupt Fire) model uses Corrupt Fire ability icon.
  View attachment 578536

Tormentor:

• No lumber need to train a Tormentor. Lumber should be also required for training a Tormentor.
  View attachment 578537
• A spell effect should be added when bonus damage is triggered during Drain Soul. I can't tell if the unit took Chaos damage, so I don't know if the Drain Soul debuff is working. There might be a bug in the Drain Soul debuff.

Rager:

• Rager doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Unarmored units also takes Chaos damage from Knockout ability. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Drummer:

• Strums of Bloodsheed is actually the vanilla Warcraft III ability Endurance Aura.
• Drummer doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Strums of Bloodshed also gives bonus Chaos damage to nearby units. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• The old War Drummer ability could be overhauled. The War Drummer ability was granting the Drummer Chaos damage-type, increasing hit point regeneration by 5, granting attack ground units & buildings, and enhancing the Strums of Bloodshed aura, but rendered Drummer immobile.

Marauder:

• Marauder doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when Burning Blade grants bonus Chaos damage instead of increase attack damage. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Burning Blade flame buff model (spell effect) and ability icon could be change to fel flame (green colored flame).
  View attachment 578538

Impaler:

• Impaler doesn't have Chaos damage-type capability. Chaos damage-type capability can be introduced when attacks unleash three felbolts (green colored firebolts) that deal Chaos damage to nearby enemy units (Felfire). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Impaler food cost should be 5 instead of 4.
  View attachment 578539
• A spell effect should be added during Swift Flight buff.
  View attachment 578540

Hero – Barbarian:

• Barbarian, unlike other Fel Horde heroes, does not have the Chaos damage-type capability. Mutilate can deal Chaos damage, or bonus Mayhem damage with a percentage chance to deal Chaos damage. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• A spell effect should be added when bonus damage is triggered during Mayhem.
• Proper names (Mranak, Bryruk, Sahai, Dang, Larag, Xoratk, Derk. Crashnak, Karg) don’t have a surname. Surname should be added to proper names.
  View attachment 578541

Hero – Warlord:

• The Warlord portrait may be positioned slightly closer, as in the previous version of the model.
  View attachment 578517
  View attachment 578552
• A spell effect (debuff) should be added when disarm is triggered by Butcher ability.
• Blood Aura model color could be changed to red instead of white or Blood Aura model could be reverted (4 red skull aura model).
  View attachment 578520
  View attachment 578553

Hero – Necrolyte:

• It can be easily understood from the green text that the Rot ability is Shadow Strike based. It can be arranged as an Acid Bomb based ability.
  View attachment 578544
• The Sacrament ability seems quite outdated. A new ability can be created instead of this ability. Also, the Sacrament unit uses the Voidwalker model, which is a creep model, and the other lesser Sacrament units they spawn use the same model as the main Sacrament unit. Sacrament (spawned unit) ability icon is Raise Dead.
  View attachment 578548
• Necrotic Aura can also reduce health regeneration and healing (health restoration) XX% percent (You can use Heal Event to do it. Negative Draenei Gift of Naaru racial bonus ability). Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Necrolyte unit sound set is Drek'Thar. This unit sound set is not suitable for such a female hero.
• Proper names (Paincarrier, Stabber, Deathbiter, Redscar, Swiftchaos, Voidstriker, Blood) don’t have a name. Name should be added to proper names.
  View attachment 578545

Hero – Execucioner:

• Equip Bow / Equip Dagger hotkey should be D instead of T, in my opinion. If a hero has a 5. ability, its hotkey should be D to be compatible with the QWER system.
  View attachment 578515
• In the Marked for Death ability, since the hero uses a bow for casting the ability, it should throw a projectile that deals minor damage. (Similar to Storm Bolt, but deals less physical damage and doesn't stun.)
• A spell effect should be added when Chaos bonus damage is triggered by Dirty Tricks. I can't tell if the unit took Chaos damage, so I don't know if the Dirty Tricks bonus Chaos damage is working. There might be a bug in the Dirty Tricks bonus Chaos damage.
• The Shade unit appears when the Elaborate ability is used. The Shade unit should not be present during Elaborate. The Far Sight model colo should changed to red.
  View attachment 578505

Item – Blood Fountain:

• No unit sound set. Moon Well building sounds could be added.
• The building model and collision size could be increased.
  View attachment 578542
• Night Elf explosion effect color could be changed to red instead of blue.

Upgrade – Bolts of Savagery:

• Bolts of Savagery upgrade should also require Forge additional to Bastion.
  View attachment 578549

General:

• You may need to update the icons for research upgrades and unit spells in this faction.

TYPOS:

Slave:

• Slave’s Bond: Friendly units attackng (i is missing) the Slave restore hit points based on damage they deal.
• Improved Slave’s Bond upgrade does not increase level of Slave’s Bond ability, but it does grant bonus hit points and Slave’s Bond restore hit point effectiveness. There is no techtree requirement for the Slave’s Bond ability. I consider it as a typo that it does not increase level of Slave’s Bond ability.

Fel Boar:

• Tooltip is pretty poor: Attack the Fel Boar to heal the attacker.

Bruiser / Bruiser (Chaos):

• Chaotic Rage: The blood of the demons throws the Bruiser into a chaotic rage, giving it Chaos damage-type (and 5 bonus damage), but dealing 4 damage per second for 15 seconds.

• Vendetta: For a short time the hero gains immunity to (pierced) ranged damage (still can be damaged by other attack types) and moves twice as fast.
• Dirty Tricks: Each attack dealt has a chance to inflict a random debuff.. (two dots) (Hero – Executioner (Ranged)).
• Elaborate: Manifests the battlefield with vision, granting a massive area of vision and detection of stealthed units. The player's hreoes (heroes) move 50% faster while active, and each kill the Executionre (Executioner) makes restores 20% hit and mana points.

Actually, the next faction I was going to review was the Lost Ones (I'm following the release order in the race overview), but since that faction won't be updated for a while, the next faction I'll review will be the High Elves.



I'd really like to create a Naga altered melee map with truly balanced and unique mechanics someday. Yes, the Naga race is very popular and oversaturated, but none of them quite reflect the mechanics and balancing I imagine. I have an idea in mind to add different bonuses on watery areas to the different unit-types (like Undead Nerubian Guards gaining movement speed bonus on blighted areas).

Holy moly. That's a lot. Very in-depth. Thank you.

 

[Gozer Gozeriansky]

I appreciate it.
Custom UI stuff is a good way to spice it up.
Naga is one of the most popular and oversaturated factions people make, there's not much I can add to it that hasn't already been done. I'm just not interested. There's plenty of other less popular factions I'd rather make.

Thanks for the answer. Understandable, I wouldn't want to tread the same old waters either.

@Wa666r possible to download the v1.55 of the maps?

@Wa666r possible to download the v1.55 of the maps?

Why you want older version of the map while the latest one is much better (Forsaken race is now playable)???

Other than that, I don't have any idea. I haven't played this map cause I don't own Reforged yet.

Hi. I've reviewed the reworked Fel Horde faction (but I won't go into detail this time. I still have other factions to review).

First of all, I should mention that Necrotic Storm and Drummer Beats abilities are both chef's kiss. The Necrotic Storm ability both fits the hero's theme perfectly and feels like a true ultimate. The old Sacrament ability, on the other hand, wasn't fit the hero's theme, created a vanilla Voidwalker and then lesser voidwalkers all around the map, which wasn't feel like an ultimate. Beats' abilities are masterpieces. The three selectable auras are truly creative, but I recommend putting all Beats aura selections on cooldown once you select one of them. Additionally, (This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.) upgrading these auras could increase their effectiveness or grant an extra bonus stat (e.g., Beats of Chaos could grant bonus attack damage when upgraded).

It's a shame that Havoc Aura was removed, as it was an ability I'll really miss. I think its replacement, Vengeful Blood, suits the Warlord hero better (because the Warlord is more tanky than the Barbarian). Blood Aura could have been removed instead of Havoc Aura, and Vengeful Blood could have been added in its place, but the decision is yours. I'm just expressing my opinion. (This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.)

I think it's much better that Bruiser's Chaotic Rage ability is auto-cast; now enemy spellcasters can dispel this buff. However, the reworked Chaotic Rage is similar to Scarlet Crusade Fanaticism in that it causes Bruiser to take more damage instead of draining Bruiser's health. Fel magic is a spell that massively enchants the affected unit but also harms the affected unit at cost. In order to avoid both lore contradictions and similarities in the Fanaticism ability, Chaotic Rage should drain Bruiser's health instead of causing Bruiser to take more damage.

Unbound ability, which was like Agony, was an ability that dealt damage over time when moving. Unbound triggers could have been reworked to make it work correctly (by implementing the Is Unit Moving trigger from Dark Horde map), but the new Hinder ability is also a very suitable spell for a spellcaster. The disarm mechanic is a rarely used but also an unique disable, imo.

Unfortunately, the gold and lumber requirements for heroes still differ.

When Dark Shaman uses his Corrupt Fire form, the Dark Shaman's name changes to Fel Horde - Dark Shaman. When the Corrupt Fire form ends, he reverts to the name Dark Shaman.

When Warlock uses his Sacrificial Pact ability, a red Essence of Blight/Spirit Touch visual effect appears and then disappears. The Doom visual effect used in the previous patch (v1.57), however, remained visible until its expiration time.

I'll further review the Fel Horde faction sometime later, but my next review will focus on the High Elves faction.

The reviews are a huge help. I am much happier with the Fel Horde now. I am already pretty happy with the High Elves, but they could always use more love. The Faceless Ones and Void Elves are what I am looking at the most to fix up.

The reviews are a huge help. I am much happier with the Fel Horde now. I am already pretty happy with the High Elves, but they could always use more love. The Faceless Ones and Void Elves are what I am looking at the most to fix up.

In the High Elves review, it seems I'll frequently be offering suggestions regarding the attack range mechanics I've mentioned earlier. I know that High Elves was recently reworked, but I'd prefer to focus on the factions I consider the core races; although perhaps I can prioritize reviews of the Faceless Ones and Void Elves factions as an exception.

 

[435D]

Something else I want to add for Fel Horde is the soundset and some models of the units and heroes.

Spoiler: Suggestions

• Slave retains that ugly model from the original game. I would recommend that you use the optimized version made by Ujimasa Hojo or the variations made by Ilya Alaric (specifically the Fel Blackrock Peon).
  
  
  
• Crossbowman still doesn't have a portrait for reasons I don't understand. I know the original version of the model was too large, but General Frank has updated it to be lighter.

• He also has the Shaman soundset, which makes him sound odd. It would be better if he had the Bandit soundset, as it fits better.

• The new War Station would be a good fit for the Infernal Machine soundset.

• The Warlock, Nether Rider, and Tormentor all share the same Shaman soundset. For them, you could use Varimathras', Pit Lord, and Tichondrius' soundset respectively.

• Ironically, the Dark Shaman doesn't have the soundset of his Orc Horde counterpart, but rather that of the Blade Master. This is self-explanatory.

• The Warlord has the same (or almost the same) soundset as the Grunt; I would recommend using the Grom's or Nazgrel's soundset.

• The Barbarian has the same soundset as the Blade Master. The voice doesn't suit him because he's a bloodthirsty warrior like Blackhand, not an agile, stealthy warrior. As with the previous case, it's a question of whether to give him Grom's or Nazgrel's soundset.

These are my suggestions; I hope to see the Kul'tirian and Zandalari soon.

• He also has the Shaman soundset, which makes him sound odd. It would be better if he had the Bandit soundset, as it fits better.

• The new War Station would be a good fit for the Infernal Machine soundset.

• The Warlock, Nether Rider, and Tormentor all share the same Shaman soundset. For them, you could use Varimathras', Pit Lord, and Tichondrius' soundset respectively.

• Ironically, the Dark Shaman doesn't have the soundset of his Orc Horde counterpart, but rather that of the Blade Master. This is self-explanatory.

• The Warlord has the same (or almost the same) soundset as the Grunt; I would recommend using the Grom's or Nazgrel's soundset.

• The Barbarian has the same soundset as the Blade Master. The voice doesn't suit him because he's a bloodthirsty warrior like Blackhand, not an agile, stealthy warrior. As with the previous case, it's a question of whether to give him Grom's or Nazgrel's soundset.

These are my suggestions; I hope to see the Kul'tirian and Zandalari soon.

Good suggestions. I dont really pay attention to the voicelines.

Not sure when I'll add the Kul'tiras. Trying to focus more on optimization for meow. Zandalari are no where near finished.

 

[Ravager16829]

Please, can I have a little help? For some reasons the War's Legacy maps don't show up in the maps folder with the new version. (v1.54 previously worked)
My folder: C:\Users\"username"\Documents\Warcraft III\Maps\Download\Wars Legacy v1.58

You appear to be using the non-latest version of Warcraft III. The current one is 2.0.4, and that's the only version required for playing this map.

 

[IronBladeClan]

Is it possible to also play as the default factions like undead, human, etc.? Is night elf possible as long as the AI isn't NE?

If that's not currently a feature, would be awesome to have, so that I could sort if replace my melee experience with friends with this, switching back and forth between new and OG factions, as well as pitting them against each other.

You can play as any faction, the vanilla ones are still there. The ai thing is just for the custom factions. If you want a night elf computer ai, just set the computer to night elf race, then choose night elf for that computer player in the in-game race selection. If you set a computer to night elf then choose anything but the night elf, the ai wont run properly.

Here is my High Elves review.

HIGH ELVES

BUGS:

Main Building/Sawmill/Silverworks – Guardpost:

• Multishot (Barrage) is malfunctioning: Each garrisoned Artisan does not enable the building to launch an additional arrow at a nearby enemy, but each garrisoned Artisan enables the building to launch an additional arrow at a nearby enemy faster. Multishot mechanic can be created using the Barrage ability and the Cargo Event trigger. (Winter_CargoHoldValue or Winter_CargoHoldHashtable is not working properly I suppose.)
  

Sawmill:

• Sawmill does not benefit from the Bejeweled Plating upgrade, but it benefits from the Metabolic Boost and Sticking Webs (Living Nerubians) upgrades. The Sawmill must benefit from the Bejeweled Plating upgrade and The Sawmill must not benefit from the Metabolic Boost and Sticking Webs upgrades.
  
  

Mage-Priest:

• Sunwell Blessings additional mana regeneration is malfunctioning: Mage-Priest doesn’t gain increased mana regeneration by .5 during Day or when under Daylight aura.
• Sacralize maximum mana increase is malfunctioning: On the first use, it grants +25 bonus mana to units with more than 0 mana, but on the second and third uses on the same unit, it does not grant the +25 bonus mana; instead, it removes the previously granted +25 bonus mana.
  
  
  
  
  
• Instability healing when struck by physical attacks is malfunctioning. This situation is due to the fact that when a unit with a debuff is attacked by its enemies, its health is set using an incorrect equation. Mana setting is done with the equation Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + ((AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[0])))) / 2.00)), while life setting is done with the equation Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + (2.00 / (AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[1])))))). To correctly set life, it should be corrected to the equation Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + ((AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[0])))) / 2.00)).

Sunwell Guardian:

• Sunwell Blessings additional hit point regeneration is malfunctioning: Sunwell Guardian doesn’t gain increased hit point regeneration by 1 during Day or when under Daylight aura.

Heroes:

• The gold and lumber requirements for heroes differ. Ranger General requires 425 Gold / 135 Lumber, while other High Elven heroes require 400 Gold / 100 Lumber. (Also, the gold and lumber requirements for Fel Horde heroes still differ.)
  
  
  
  
  

Hero – Ranger General:

• Guerrilla Tactics ability hidden Markswoman is flying.
  
  

Hero – Liberator:

• After the Saint of Freedom ability form ends, the hero's name changes to High Elves – Liberator.
  
  

Hero – Arcanomancer:

• Concentrated Power ability doesn't fully restore the targeted friendly unit's mana; it should has restored 5% mana per second for 20 seconds, eventually restoring their mana completely. Additionally, the visual effect radius of Concentrated Power (Ally) is smaller than that of Concentrated Power (Enemy).
  
  
• Tuned Resonance ability deals 50/70/90 damage when targeted at an enemy, but the tooltip states that deals 70/90/110 damage.

Hero – Grand Magus:

• Cold Snap ability deals 80/130/180 damage to the target enemy and deals 40/65/90 damage to the nearby enemies, but the tooltip states that deals 40/65/90 damage to the target enemy and nearby enemies.
• Cold Snap ability primary target sometimes is not trapped in ice.
  
  
• Thermal Bane ability is malfunctioning: Instead of Supercooled and Frostflame Storm (Ice) debuffed airborne enemies take increased damage, the caster (Grand Magus) takes increased damage. Unit - Cause DamageEventSource to damage DamageEventSource (This must be DamageEventTarget.), dealing (10.00 + (15.00 x (Real((Level of [High Elves - Magus] - Thermal Bane for DamageEventSource))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal.
• Frostflame Storm rain of fire and bone-chilling mist sometimes don’t work. Sometimes only rain of fire is cast, sometimes only bone-chilling mist is cast, sometimes both of them are cast, sometimes none of them are cast. Additionally, even though the spell effect has ended, the Frost Flame Storm bone-chilling mist visual effect pulses once more.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

SUGGESTIONS:

High Elves UI:

• High Elf UI Time Indicator (Day/Night) is inconsistent. The time indicator can be edited to make it consistent.
  
  

High Elves Buildings:

• High Elf Buildings can also have the Runed Stonework innate ability to inform users, like Sunwell Blessings' innate ability.
  
  
  
  
  Runed Stonework – [Active/Deactive]
  
  High Elven buildings gain hit point regeneration by 2 during the Day or under the Daylight Aura.
  
  Runed Stonework ability button position should be 1 (X) and 1 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 1, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 1).
  
  

Sunwell Blessings:

• Sunwell Blessings tooltip states that increases the hit point and mana point regeneration of all units, but since no units except spellcaster units (Mage-Priest, Mystic, Illuminator, and Sunwell Guardian) have mana, it needs to be amended to increase the hit point regeneration for units other than spellcasters.
  
  

Main Building/Sawmill/Silverworks:

• Guardpost ability can have an additional active ability that causes nearby Artisans to flee to the relevant buildings (Mains, Sawmill and Silverworks) to defend their bases, like the Battle Stations ability.
• The number of available slots in the Guardpost should be specified similarly to the Abode’s Refuge ability: "The Main Building / Sawmill / Silverworks contains 4 slots".
• Since Sawmill and Silverworks are smaller buildings than the Main Building, they should have fewer slots (less than 4) than the Main Building. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Bastion/Grand Hold/Sacrarium:

• Main Building’s attack damage can be rescaled. Bastion can have 16 - 20 attack damage, Grand Hold can have 20 - 24 attack damage, and Sacrarium can have 24 - 28 attack damage.
• Fel Horde has Frontier Bastion and Forsaken has Desolate Bastion. High Elves' main building (Bastion) may also have an adjective just like them.
  
  
  
  
  

Abode:

• Abode has 300 hit points, while Farm has 500 (almost double as much), and Burrow, Ziggurat, and Moon Well have 600 health points (double as much) each. Additionally, Abode has 4 armor, while the other food production buildings have 5 armor. Abode's hit points and armor can be increased.
  
  

Moon-Fury Tower:

• Unlike other towers (which have the Pierce attack type), the Moon-Fury Tower has a Normal attack type. The Moon-Fury Tower can also have the Pierce attack type. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
  
  
• Dragonhawk Warden and Moon-Fury Tower's projectile can be swapped with each other. The visual effects during a Dragonhawk Warden attack don't match the projectile, making it look like launching a Moon shard. Moon-Fury Tower, however, possesses the projectile that the Dragonhawk Warden should have: it hovers in the air, which is more compatible with the Dragonhawk Warden unit. Additionally, Dragonhawk Warden pre-attack visual effect color should be changed to violet like Moon-Fury Tower projectile.
  
  
• The unit sound set can be changed to Arcane Tower, since the tower has an additional Magic attack type that launches magical missiles.

Sky-Fury Tower:

• The unit sound set can be changed to Guard Tower, since the tower has a Pierce attack type that fires arrows.

House of Study:

• Direct Sunlight research and Null Rune research button positions and hotkeys should be swapped with each other (War Drums upgrade button positions are 2 (X) and 2 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 2, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 2), while Liquid Fire research button positions are 2 (X) and 1 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 2, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 1).
  
  
  
  
  

Farstrider’s Lodge:

• Columbary and Farstrider's Lodge unit sound sets are the same: Gryphon Aviary. Farstrider's Lodge unit sound set can be changed to Hunter’s Hall or Barrow Den, since the building trains elite units who bravely strike to protect their forest that stands in perpetual spring.

Sunguard:

• Ambition ability can be reworked to separate mechanic that increase attack damage when dealing damage and damage reduction when taking damage, instead of increasing both attack damage and damage reduction when dealing and taking damage. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
• In terms of notifying the user of the increased attack damage in the Ambition ability (I'm not talking about damage reduction, as it's not possible to inform the user of the damage reduction rate), it would be much more user-friendly to create it using Command Aura, which only affects the unit, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
• Silvermoon Shield upgrade can also increase the damage reduction of the Ambition ability by 1.5% per stack, similar to the Radiant Arrowheads upgrade which increases the bonus damage granted per nearby Markswoman by 1.5. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Markswoman:

• The unit model fits the faction quite well (her eyes glow blue like in WoW is quite nice), but unfortunately there is a problem with the unit's facial geometry. The unit's cheeks are geometrically crooked. I don't want you to abandon the unit model; I'm just suggesting that if there's an option to fix the facial geometry, it should be considered. (I think @johnwar, the author of the model, or @435D, who fixes the models in your factions, can solve the face geometry issue.)
  
  
• Markswoman bonus attack range should also work with Daylight aura as well as during the Day.
• In terms of notifying the user of the bonus attack damage in the Coordinated Fire ability, it would be much more user-friendly to provide the Item Damage Bonus ability to the affected units, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Springald:

• Skypiercer research should require Silverworks instead of Sawmill.
  
  
• Both Springald and Farstrider gain increased attack rate by 10% during Day or under the Daylight aura. To provide different bonuses across different unit types, Springald should gain increased spill radius by XX instead of gain increased attack rate. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Prioritize Air ability deactivate button position should be 0 (X) and 2 (Y). Art – Button Position – Turn Off (Y) should be 2 instead of 0.
  
  

Mage-Priest:

• Mage-Priest model can be replaced with the High Elf Priest model, due to the Mage-Priest’s face has a darker skin tone than it should, resulting in a mismatch with the icon. The Mage-Priest’s face will look similar to the vanilla Priest model, but at least the model will match the icon and look more like a High Elf.
  
  
• Mage - Priest should gain increased maximum mana instead of gain additional mana regeneration during Day or when under Daylight aura (Attention should be paid to ensure that the maximum hit point and mana point increase in the Sacralize ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Sunwell Blessings ability. If these bugs occur, I recommend granting Mana Restoration instead of increased maximum mana. Mana Restoration mechanic can be created using Mana Event, which is based on Heal Event. You can use Game - ManaEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - ManaEvent becomes Equal to 0.50). Mana Event System (Mana Event.w3x) is attached below.
• Chastice ability can increase the mana cost of a target unit's abilities by 25% instead of costing 25% more mana. (The mana cost increase / mana cost reduction mechanic can be created using the Unit – Ability Set Mana Cost action. Mana cost increase mechanic can also applied to the Kirin Tor – Arcanist’s Mana Tumult ability.).
  Example Trigger:
  
  • Chastice Periodic
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • ((Picked unit) has buff [High Elves] - Chastice ) Equal to True
            • Then - Actions
              • Unit - For Unit (Picked unit), Set mana cost of ability [High Elves] - Chastice , Level: 0 to 50
            • Else - Actions
              • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                • If - Conditions
                  • ((Picked unit) has buff [High Elves] - Chastice ) Equal to False
                • Then - Actions
                  • Unit - For Unit (Picked unit), Set mana cost of ability [High Elves] - Chastice , Level: 0 to 40
                • Else - Actions
• Sacralize ability can have an indicator showing the number of stacks each time it's used on the same unit (e.g., 1, 2, 3 stacks displayed above the unit's head). Additionally, if the Sacralize ability is used more than three times on the same unit, "The unit has full stacks." message can be displayed and preventing unnecessary use of the ability.
• Sunblessed mechanic from the old version of High Elf map, which increased the effectiveness of abilities during the Day, can be added back (for spellcasters with active abilities only). During the day, mana cost and cooldown of abilities can be reduced, cast range, area of effect, debuff duration, spell damage, and cast speed of abilities can be increased, and additional features can be added to abilities. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
  
  

Mystic:

• Health Restoration (increase healing and hit point regeneration effectiveness) aura can be added between instant healing moment and delayed healing moment in the Restoration ability. (You can use Heal Event to do it. Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 0.50)
• Sunblessed mechanic from the old version of High Elf map, which increased the effectiveness of abilities during the Day, can be added back (for spellcasters with active abilities only). During the day, mana cost and cooldown of abilities can be reduced, cast range, area of effect, debuff duration, spell damage, and cast speed of abilities can be increased, and additional features can be added to abilities. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
  
  

Illuminator:

• Illuminator should gain an additional bonus stat along with life and mana regeneration during Day only (this bonus stat should not work with Daylight aura, as the unit already has the aura).
• Direct Sunlight ability can cause nearby enemies have a XX% chance to miss an attack, instead of reducing nearby enemy armor. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Illuminator has no training sound. The unit sound set can be changed.

Sunwell Guardian:

• Sunwell Guardian should gain increased maximum hit points instead of gain additional hit point regeneration during Day or when under Daylight aura (Attention should be paid to ensure that the maximum hit point and mana point increase in the Sacralize ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Sunwell Blessings ability. If these bugs occur, I recommend granting Health Restoration instead of increased maximum hit points. Health Restoration mechanic can be created using Heal Event. You can use Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 0.50).

Hawkstrider:

• Hawkstrider attack damage can be increased to 5 from 4 (Dragonhawk Warden has 5 bonus Magic damage) during Day or when under Daylight aura or The Hawkstrider can gain increased attack damage by 10% (Most units' Sunwell Blessings bonus combat effect is percentage based. Artisan: +10% movement speed, Markswoman: +50 attack range [default attack range is 500, so it is +10% attack range], Springald: +10% attack rate, Mystic: +15% magic resistance, Sunchaser: +10% evasion, Farstrider: +10% attack rate.) during Day or when under Daylight aura. Attention should also be paid to balancing. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Sunchaser:

• Skybane Arrows can also reduce movement speed by XX%, like the Sky-Bane ability of the Equestrian unit from the old version of High Elves map. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
  
  

Dragonhawk Warden:

• Bazaar requirement for the Arboreal Lance research can be removed.
  
  
• Dragonhawk Warden and Moon-Fury Tower's projectile can be swapped with each other. The visual effects during a Dragonhawk Warden attack don't match the projectile, making it look like launching a Moon shard. Moon-Fury Tower, however, possesses the projectile that the Dragonhawk Warden should have: it hovers in the air, which is more compatible with the Dragonhawk Warden unit. Additionally, Dragonhawk Warden pre-attack visual effect color should be changed to violet like Moon-Fury Tower projectile.
  
  
• Dragonhawk Warden can gain bonus Magic damage by 10% (Most units' Sunwell Blessings bonus combat effect is percentage based. Artisan: +10% movement speed, Markswoman: +50 attack range [default attack range is 500, so it is +10% attack range], Springald: +10% attack rate, Mystic: +15% magic resistance, Sunchaser: +10% evasion, Farstrider: +10% attack rate.) instead of 5 bonus Magic damage during Day or when under Daylight aura. (Attention should be paid to ensure that the bonus Magic damage in the Sunwell Blessings ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Enchant Weapon ability.) Attention should also be paid to balancing. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Farstrider:

• Both Markswoman and Farstrider gain bonus 50 attack range at Day. To provide different bonuses across different unit types, Farstider should only gain increased attack rate by XX%. Farstrider has already 1000 attack range by default, and she doesn’t need bonus 50 attack range. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Farstrider has no training sound. The unit sound set can be changed.

Hero – Ranger General:

• Ranger General does not make a sound when moving or attacking. The unit sound set can be changed (Unit sound set is Sylvanus). It's a shame that this unit sound set is quite consistent with the model, and there aren't many unit sound sets available for archer units/heroes unfortunately. (Using this method, you can create AI unit sound sets, just like in your War of the Spider campaign, but without making the map too large. Each unit and hero can use these AI unit sound sets, which are different from the vanilla Warcraft III unit sound sets.)
  
  
• It can be easily understood from the green text that the Lethal Shot ability is Shadow Strike based. It can be arranged as an Acid Bomb based ability.
  
  
• Lethal Shot can also reduce movement speed by XX%. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Lethal Shot can also cause the target to take additional damage from Ranger General's attacks.
• Focus Fire ability is almost the vanilla Warcraft III ability Roar, but only affects ranged units. More unique features could be added (I suggest giving nearby ranged units a XX% bonus to attack rate and XX bonus to attack range instead of a 12% bonus to attack damage).
• Alternatively, Guerrilla Tactics could be reworked as an active ability (Ranger General’s basic attacks reveal a hidden Markswoman, who fires an arrow from the shadows before disappearing. Lasts XX seconds), and an aura (based on Trueshot Aura) that increases the attack damage (or attack rate) and attack range of nearby friendly ranged units could be added in place of the Focus Fire ability.

Hero – Liberator:

• In terms of notifying the user of the increased attack damage in the Retribution Aura ability (I'm not talking about damage reduction, as it's not possible to inform the user of the damage reduction rate), it would be much more user-friendly to provide the Item Damage Bonus ability to the affected units, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Hero – Grand Magus:

• Flashfire ability is almost the vanilla Warcraft III ability Flame Strike, but only has instant casting time. More unique features could be added.

Item – Healing Dew:

• Vanilla Rejuvenation buff icon shows when the Healing Dew item is used. Custom Healing Dew buff can be created.
  
  

Item – Gem of Arcane Protection:

• Vanilla Spell Shield buff icon shows when the Gem of Arcane Protection item is used. Custom Gem of Arcane Protection buff can be created.
  
  

TYPOS:

• Guardpost: The Artisan can garrison inside Mains, Sawmills, or Silverworks. While inside, fires at nearby enemies with its (his instead) shortbow.

• Unload: Causes Peons (Artisans) within the (Main Building/Sawmill/Silverworks/Abode) to return to work.

Orb of the Sun (Item):

• Adds 5 bonus damage to the attack of a Hero when carried. The Hero's attacks also become ranged when attacking air, and during day or under Daylight aura (Aura instead) deal an additional 5 Magic damage.

• Slave retains that ugly model from the original game. I would recommend that you use the optimized version made by Ujimasa Hojo or the variations made by Ilya Alaric (specifically the Fel Blackrock Peon).
  
  
  
• Crossbowman still doesn't have a portrait for reasons I don't understand. I know the original version of the model was too large, but General Frank has updated it to be lighter.

I agree with @435D about model suggestions. Slave has a vanilla Fel Orc Peon model. Crossbowman doesn't have a portrait model. I should have been mentioned in the Fel Horde review, but the Boar Farm unit sound set can be changed to Pig Farm.

The next faction I'll review will be the Exodar Draenei, which your favorite faction I suppose. After the Exodar Draenei review, I was going to review the Scarlet Crusaders (I'm following the release order in the race overview) but due to your request I'll review the Faceless Ones first, then the Void Elves instead.

 

[435D]

Ranger General does not make a sound when moving or attacking. The unit sound set can be changed (Unit sound set is Sylvanus). It's a shame that this unit sound set is quite consistent with the model, and there aren't many unit sound sets available for archer units/heroes unfortunately. (Using this method, you can create AI unit sound sets, just like in your War of the Spider campaign, but without making the map too large. Each unit and hero can use these AI unit sound sets, which are different from the vanilla Warcraft III unit sound sets.)

Does it really work? The last time I tried it, it didn't.

 

[Griffith]

Is there any old version of this? Like for maybe patch 2.0.1.22? This can't work on pre-reforged.

 

[Wyrelade]

Well this pack is looking juicy. So much custom yet professional looking stuff. Nice job.

 

[Kotol]

Does it really work? The last time I tried it, it didn't.

It works, but some steps need to be taken.

1. You must allow local files (!! Allow Local Files - General Discussion).
2. You must edit unitacksounds.slk using War3Slk Edit version 1.05. After that you must add unitacksounds.slk file to the Warcraft III\-retail-\UI\SoundInfo folder.
3. You must add the sound files to the Warcraft III\-retail-\Units\"Your custom faction (for example Terran)"\"Your custom unit (for example Marine)"

 

[Wa666r]

Here is my High Elves review.

HIGH ELVES

BUGS:

Main Building/Sawmill/Silverworks – Guardpost:

• Multishot (Barrage) is malfunctioning: Each garrisoned Artisan does not enable the building to launch an additional arrow at a nearby enemy, but each garrisoned Artisan enables the building to launch an additional arrow at a nearby enemy faster. Multishot mechanic can be created using the Barrage ability and the Cargo Event trigger. (Winter_CargoHoldValue or Winter_CargoHoldHashtable is not working properly I suppose.)View attachment 585408

Sawmill:

• Sawmill does not benefit from the Bejeweled Plating upgrade, but it benefits from the Metabolic Boost and Sticking Webs (Living Nerubians) upgrades. The Sawmill must benefit from the Bejeweled Plating upgrade and The Sawmill must not benefit from the Metabolic Boost and Sticking Webs upgrades.
  View attachment 585409

Mage-Priest:

• Sunwell Blessings additional mana regeneration is malfunctioning: Mage-Priest doesn’t gain increased mana regeneration by .5 during Day or when under Daylight aura.
• Sacralize maximum mana increase is malfunctioning: On the first use, it grants +25 bonus mana to units with more than 0 mana, but on the second and third uses on the same unit, it does not grant the +25 bonus mana; instead, it removes the previously granted +25 bonus mana.
  View attachment 585410
  View attachment 585411
• Instability healing when struck by physical attacks is malfunctioning. This situation is due to the fact that when a unit with a debuff is attacked by its enemies, its health is set using an incorrect equation. Mana setting is done with the equation Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + ((AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[0])))) / 2.00)), while life setting is done with the equation Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + (2.00 / (AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[1])))))). To correctly set life, it should be corrected to the equation Unit - Set life of (Picked unit) to ((Life of (Picked unit)) + ((AE_TmpReal[0] / (Real((Number of units in AE_TmpGroup[0])))) / 2.00)).

Sunwell Guardian:

• Sunwell Blessings additional hit point regeneration is malfunctioning: Sunwell Guardian doesn’t gain increased hit point regeneration by 1 during Day or when under Daylight aura.

Heroes:

• The gold and lumber requirements for heroes differ. Ranger General requires 425 Gold / 135 Lumber, while other High Elven heroes require 400 Gold / 100 Lumber. (Also, the gold and lumber requirements for Fel Horde heroes still differ.)

  View attachment 585413

Hero – Ranger General:

• Guerrilla Tactics ability hidden Markswoman is flying.
  View attachment 585414

Hero – Liberator:

• After the Saint of Freedom ability form ends, the hero's name changes to High Elves – Liberator.
  View attachment 585415

Hero – Arcanomancer:

• Concentrated Power ability doesn't fully restore the targeted friendly unit's mana; it should has restored 5% mana per second for 20 seconds, eventually restoring their mana completely. Additionally, the visual effect radius of Concentrated Power (Ally) is smaller than that of Concentrated Power (Enemy).
  View attachment 585416
• Tuned Resonance ability deals 50/70/90 damage when targeted at an enemy, but the tooltip states that deals 70/90/110 damage.

Hero – Grand Magus:

• Cold Snap ability deals 80/130/180 damage to the target enemy and deals 40/65/90 damage to the nearby enemies, but the tooltip states that deals 40/65/90 damage to the target enemy and nearby enemies.
• Cold Snap ability primary target sometimes is not trapped in ice.
  View attachment 585417
• Thermal Bane ability is malfunctioning: Instead of Supercooled and Frostflame Storm (Ice) debuffed airborne enemies take increased damage, the caster (Grand Magus) takes increased damage. Unit - Cause DamageEventSource to damage DamageEventSource (This must be DamageEventTarget.), dealing (10.00 + (15.00 x (Real((Level of [High Elves - Magus] - Thermal Bane for DamageEventSource))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal.
• Frostflame Storm rain of fire and bone-chilling mist sometimes don’t work. Sometimes only rain of fire is cast, sometimes only bone-chilling mist is cast, sometimes both of them are cast, sometimes none of them are cast. Additionally, even though the spell effect has ended, the Frost Flame Storm bone-chilling mist visual effect pulses once more.

SUGGESTIONS:

High Elves UI:

• High Elf UI Time Indicator (Day/Night) is inconsistent. The time indicator can be edited to make it consistent.
  View attachment 585525

High Elves Buildings:

• High Elf Buildings can also have the Runed Stonework innate ability to inform users, like Sunwell Blessings' innate ability.
  
  View attachment 585524
  Runed Stonework – [Active/Deactive]
  
  High Elven buildings gain hit point regeneration by 2 during the Day or under the Daylight Aura.
  
  Runed Stonework ability button position should be 1 (X) and 1 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 1, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 1).
  View attachment 585526

Sunwell Blessings:

• Sunwell Blessings tooltip states that increases the hit point and mana point regeneration of all units, but since no units except spellcaster units (Mage-Priest, Mystic, Illuminator, and Sunwell Guardian) have mana, it needs to be amended to increase the hit point regeneration for units other than spellcasters.
  View attachment 585527

Main Building/Sawmill/Silverworks:

• Guardpost ability can have an additional active ability that causes nearby Artisans to flee to the relevant buildings (Mains, Sawmill and Silverworks) to defend their bases, like the Battle Stations ability.
• The number of available slots in the Guardpost should be specified similarly to the Abode’s Refuge ability: "The Main Building / Sawmill / Silverworks contains 4 slots".
• Since Sawmill and Silverworks are smaller buildings than the Main Building, they should have fewer slots (less than 4) than the Main Building. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Bastion/Grand Hold/Sacrarium:

• Main Building’s attack damage can be rescaled. Bastion can have 16 - 20 attack damage, Grand Hold can have 20 - 24 attack damage, and Sacrarium can have 24 - 28 attack damage.
• Fel Horde has Frontier Bastion and Forsaken has Desolate Bastion. High Elves' main building (Bastion) may also have an adjective just like them.
  View attachment 585968
  View attachment 585969

Abode:

• Abode has 300 hit points, while Farm has 500 (almost double as much), and Burrow, Ziggurat, and Moon Well have 600 health points (double as much) each. Additionally, Abode has 4 armor, while the other food production buildings have 5 armor. Abode's hit points and armor can be increased.
  View attachment 585528

Moon-Fury Tower:

• Unlike other towers (which have the Pierce attack type), the Moon-Fury Tower has a Normal attack type. The Moon-Fury Tower can also have the Pierce attack type. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
  View attachment 585529
• Dragonhawk Warden and Moon-Fury Tower's projectile can be swapped with each other. The visual effects during a Dragonhawk Warden attack don't match the projectile, making it look like launching a Moon shard. Moon-Fury Tower, however, possesses the projectile that the Dragonhawk Warden should have: it hovers in the air, which is more compatible with the Dragonhawk Warden unit. Additionally, Dragonhawk Warden pre-attack visual effect color should be changed to violet like Moon-Fury Tower projectile.
  View attachment 585530
• The unit sound set can be changed to Arcane Tower, since the tower has an additional Magic attack type that launches magical missiles.

Sky-Fury Tower:

• The unit sound set can be changed to Guard Tower, since the tower has a Pierce attack type that fires arrows.

House of Study:

• Direct Sunlight research and Null Rune research button positions and hotkeys should be swapped with each other (War Drums upgrade button positions are 2 (X) and 2 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 2, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 2), while Liquid Fire research button positions are 2 (X) and 1 (Y) (Art – Button Position – Normal (X) = 2, Art – Button Position – Normal (Y) = 1).
  View attachment 585531
  View attachment 585648

Farstrider’s Lodge:

• Columbary and Farstrider's Lodge unit sound sets are the same: Gryphon Aviary. Farstrider's Lodge unit sound set can be changed to Hunter’s Hall or Barrow Den, since the building trains elite units who bravely strike to protect their forest that stands in perpetual spring.

Sunguard:

• Ambition ability can be reworked to separate mechanic that increase attack damage when dealing damage and damage reduction when taking damage, instead of increasing both attack damage and damage reduction when dealing and taking damage. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
• In terms of notifying the user of the increased attack damage in the Ambition ability (I'm not talking about damage reduction, as it's not possible to inform the user of the damage reduction rate), it would be much more user-friendly to create it using Command Aura, which only affects the unit, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.
• Silvermoon Shield upgrade can also increase the damage reduction of the Ambition ability by 1.5% per stack, similar to the Radiant Arrowheads upgrade which increases the bonus damage granted per nearby Markswoman by 1.5. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

Markswoman:

• The unit model fits the faction quite well (her eyes glow blue like in WoW is quite nice), but unfortunately there is a problem with the unit's facial geometry. The unit's cheeks are geometrically crooked. I don't want you to abandon the unit model; I'm just suggesting that if there's an option to fix the facial geometry, it should be considered. (I think @johnwar, the author of the model, or @435D, who fixes the models in your factions, can solve the face geometry issue.)
  View attachment 585532
• Markswoman bonus attack range should also work with Daylight aura as well as during the Day.
• In terms of notifying the user of the bonus attack damage in the Coordinated Fire ability, it would be much more user-friendly to provide the Item Damage Bonus ability to the affected units, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Springald:

• Skypiercer research should require Silverworks instead of Sawmill.
  View attachment 585533
• Both Springald and Farstrider gain increased attack rate by 10% during Day or under the Daylight aura. To provide different bonuses across different unit types, Springald should gain increased spill radius by XX instead of gain increased attack rate. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Prioritize Air ability deactivate button position should be 0 (X) and 2 (Y). Art – Button Position – Turn Off (Y) should be 2 instead of 0.
  View attachment 585534

Mage-Priest:

• Mage-Priest model can be replaced with the High Elf Priest model, due to the Mage-Priest’s face has a darker skin tone than it should, resulting in a mismatch with the icon. The Mage-Priest’s face will look similar to the vanilla Priest model, but at least the model will match the icon and look more like a High Elf.
  View attachment 585535
• Mage - Priest should gain increased maximum mana instead of gain additional mana regeneration during Day or when under Daylight aura (Attention should be paid to ensure that the maximum hit point and mana point increase in the Sacralize ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Sunwell Blessings ability. If these bugs occur, I recommend granting Mana Restoration instead of increased maximum mana. Mana Restoration mechanic can be created using Mana Event, which is based on Heal Event. You can use Game - ManaEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - ManaEvent becomes Equal to 0.50). Mana Event System (Mana Event.w3x) is attached below.
• Chastice ability can increase the mana cost of a target unit's abilities by 25% instead of costing 25% more mana. (The mana cost increase / mana cost reduction mechanic can be created using the Unit – Ability Set Mana Cost action. Mana cost increase mechanic can also applied to the Kirin Tor – Arcanist’s Mana Tumult ability.).
  Example Trigger:
  
  • Chastice Periodic
    • Events
      • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions

                • Else - Actions
• Sacralize ability can have an indicator showing the number of stacks each time it's used on the same unit (e.g., 1, 2, 3 stacks displayed above the unit's head). Additionally, if the Sacralize ability is used more than three times on the same unit, "The unit has full stacks." message can be displayed and preventing unnecessary use of the ability.
• Sunblessed mechanic from the old version of High Elf map, which increased the effectiveness of abilities during the Day, can be added back (for spellcasters with active abilities only). During the day, mana cost and cooldown of abilities can be reduced, cast range, area of effect, debuff duration, spell damage, and cast speed of abilities can be increased, and additional features can be added to abilities. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
  View attachment 585537

Mystic:

• Health Restoration (increase healing and hit point regeneration effectiveness) aura can be added between instant healing moment and delayed healing moment in the Restoration ability. (You can use Heal Event to do it. Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 0.50)
• Sunblessed mechanic from the old version of High Elf map, which increased the effectiveness of abilities during the Day, can be added back (for spellcasters with active abilities only). During the day, mana cost and cooldown of abilities can be reduced, cast range, area of effect, debuff duration, spell damage, and cast speed of abilities can be increased, and additional features can be added to abilities. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
  View attachment 585538

Illuminator:

• Illuminator should gain an additional bonus stat along with life and mana regeneration during Day only (this bonus stat should not work with Daylight aura, as the unit already has the aura).
• Direct Sunlight ability can cause nearby enemies have a XX% chance to miss an attack, instead of reducing nearby enemy armor. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Illuminator has no training sound. The unit sound set can be changed.

Sunwell Guardian:

• Sunwell Guardian should gain increased maximum hit points instead of gain additional hit point regeneration during Day or when under Daylight aura (Attention should be paid to ensure that the maximum hit point and mana point increase in the Sacralize ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Sunwell Blessings ability. If these bugs occur, I recommend granting Health Restoration instead of increased maximum hit points. Health Restoration mechanic can be created using Heal Event. You can use Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 1.00 and Game - HealEvent becomes Equal to 0.50).

Hawkstrider:

• Hawkstrider attack damage can be increased to 5 from 4 (Dragonhawk Warden has 5 bonus Magic damage) during Day or when under Daylight aura or The Hawkstrider can gain increased attack damage by 10% (Most units' Sunwell Blessings bonus combat effect is percentage based. Artisan: +10% movement speed, Markswoman: +50 attack range [default attack range is 500, so it is +10% attack range], Springald: +10% attack rate, Mystic: +15% magic resistance, Sunchaser: +10% evasion, Farstrider: +10% attack rate.) during Day or when under Daylight aura. Attention should also be paid to balancing. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Sunchaser:

• Skybane Arrows can also reduce movement speed by XX%, like the Sky-Bane ability of the Equestrian unit from the old version of High Elves map. Attention should also be paid to balancing.

• Dragonhawk Warden can gain bonus Magic damage by 10% (Most units' Sunwell Blessings bonus combat effect is percentage based. Artisan: +10% movement speed, Markswoman: +50 attack range [default attack range is 500, so it is +10% attack range], Springald: +10% attack rate, Mystic: +15% magic resistance, Sunchaser: +10% evasion, Farstrider: +10% attack rate.) instead of 5 bonus Magic damage during Day or when under Daylight aura. (Attention should be paid to ensure that the bonus Magic damage in the Sunwell Blessings ability does not conflict that will cause bugs with the Enchant Weapon ability.) Attention should also be paid to balancing. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Farstrider:

• Both Markswoman and Farstrider gain bonus 50 attack range at Day. To provide different bonuses across different unit types, Farstider should only gain increased attack rate by XX%. Farstrider has already 1000 attack range by default, and she doesn’t need bonus 50 attack range. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Farstrider has no training sound. The unit sound set can be changed.

Hero – Ranger General:

• Ranger General does not make a sound when moving or attacking. The unit sound set can be changed (Unit sound set is Sylvanus). It's a shame that this unit sound set is quite consistent with the model, and there aren't many unit sound sets available for archer units/heroes unfortunately. (Using this method, you can create AI unit sound sets, just like in your War of the Spider campaign, but without making the map too large. Each unit and hero can use these AI unit sound sets, which are different from the vanilla Warcraft III unit sound sets.)

• It can be easily understood from the green text that the Lethal Shot ability is Shadow Strike based. It can be arranged as an Acid Bomb based ability.
  View attachment 585542
• Lethal Shot can also reduce movement speed by XX%. Attention should also be paid to balancing.
• Lethal Shot can also cause the target to take additional damage from Ranger General's attacks.
• Focus Fire ability is almost the vanilla Warcraft III ability Roar, but only affects ranged units. More unique features could be added (I suggest giving nearby ranged units a XX% bonus to attack rate and XX bonus to attack range instead of a 12% bonus to attack damage).
• Alternatively, Guerrilla Tactics could be reworked as an active ability (Ranger General’s basic attacks reveal a hidden Markswoman, who fires an arrow from the shadows before disappearing. Lasts XX seconds), and an aura (based on Trueshot Aura) that increases the attack damage (or attack rate) and attack range of nearby friendly ranged units could be added in place of the Focus Fire ability.

Hero – Liberator:

• In terms of notifying the user of the increased attack damage in the Retribution Aura ability (I'm not talking about damage reduction, as it's not possible to inform the user of the damage reduction rate), it would be much more user-friendly to provide the Item Damage Bonus ability to the affected units, instead of using Damage Event. This is just a suggestion. You can change it or not.

Hero – Grand Magus:

• Flashfire ability is almost the vanilla Warcraft III ability Flame Strike, but only has instant casting time. More unique features could be added.

Item – Healing Dew:

• Vanilla Rejuvenation buff icon shows when the Healing Dew item is used. Custom Healing Dew buff can be created.

Item – Gem of Arcane Protection:

I agree with @435D about model suggestions. Slave has a vanilla Fel Orc Peon model. Crossbowman doesn't have a portrait model. I should have been mentioned in the Fel Horde review, but the Boar Farm unit sound set can be changed to Pig Farm.

The next faction I'll review will be the Exodar Draenei, which your favorite faction I suppose. After the Exodar Draenei review, I was going to review the Scarlet Crusaders (I'm following the release order in the race overview) but due to your request I'll review the Faceless Ones first, then the Void Elves instead.

Thanks a ton again, these reviews help a lot in improving the project. I'll take a more intensive look.

Is there any old version of this? Like for maybe patch 2.0.1.22? This can't work on pre-reforged.

Not unless someone else has older versions. This project tries to stay up to date with the latest blizz patches.

Well this pack is looking juicy. So much custom yet professional looking stuff. Nice job.

Thank you. I try.

Is there a way to get replays to work properly? When I start a replay it gets stuck showing the race select menu.

Also, for some reason I get logged out of bnet when I try to watch a replay, and now again when trying to play a new game even after restarting the game.

 

[sancmair]

This sure looks and sounds interesting... is it compatible with Reforged by chance, or no?

Yeah, its meant to be played on the latest update. Reforged graphics or not.

Hi, my friends and I are massive fans of your altered melee maps! Just wanted to note that the game crashes whenever the Nightborne Magistrix casts her first (Q) skill. The game doesn't always crash for everyone but atleast one person always crashes right at the exact moment the Magistrix casts her Q skill. This happens regardless of players or AI using Nightborne.

This is the best melee map ever and my favorite, but description post kinda undersells it. For example, this post makes me play it more.

So, tried Worgen and Forsaken, and the sheer amount of customization and uniqueness is amazing. I find Forsaken third resources need a bit of time to get a hang on, but then it's smooth sailing (though please, those archers eat my mortis for breakfast like crazy when active). Worgen is ruthless when it comes to damage, though not the most durable faction when compared to check notes ANNOYING ICE TROLLS with their crazy health numbers.

Anyway, can't wait to play with other factions. Felblood Elves looks fancy when I get them as ally during my Forsaken run I will cover each faction videos as I play through them, though it might take a while
