[Miscellanous / Other] WC1 Tech Trees

[loktar]

Warcraft I Tech Trees

I'm making a WC1 tech tree, which I intend to implement as new melee races in http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-all-one-245101/.

It's far from finished. Many resources are still missing, there are no heroes, and some abilities haven't been implemented.

Some abilities aren't finished/implemented, default WC3 heroes are still used, AI and balancing haven't been tested at all, and many resources are still missing.
When that stuff is in a more finished state, I'll improve the terrain a bit

The intention is to make the tech tree like it was in WC3 all along. Ideally it should look like it was created by Blizzard, so it's seamless with the WC3 tech trees.
I intend to create WC1 versions of the Night Elf and undead tech trees too.

Any help or feedback would be highly appreciated

Details

Differences from original WC1 tech tree

• Orc Town Hall renamed to Great Hall, Tower renamed to Temple of the Damned/Arcane Tower, Temple/Church renamed to Altar of Storms/Church of Light
• New ability for Raider/Knight: Ensnare/Cleaving Mace
• Altar/Church no longer requires Lumber Mill; produces heroes instead of Necrolyte/Cleric
• Temple/Tower now requires Altar/Church and Lumber Mill instead of Blacksmith; produces Necrolyte/Cleric (in addition to Warlock/Conjurer)
• Warlock/Conjurer and upgrades now require Blacksmith
• Temple/Tower contains Adept/Master training instead of researching abilities
• Shadow Spear, Fireball, Holy Lance, Elemental Blast are now passive abilities
• Casting units now have autocast abilities by default
• Summon Spiders/Scorpions now infects target unit with buff that attracts Spiders/Scorpions
• New building: Watch Tower/Scout Tower
• No more roads/walls

Missing resources

Model+icon:

Known issues

• Heroes are missing, using WC3 heroes for now(1)
• Unholy Armor is missing(2)
• Poison Cloud has Disease Cloud buff instead of Poison Cloud buff
• Summon Spiders/Summon Scorpions buff doesn't work properly
• Haven't put any thought into soundsets or advanced UI settings
• AI, balancing, multiplayer not tested

(1) For the Humans I'm thinking of including a Champion and an Apprentice based on Lothar and Khadgar from OutsiderXE's The Last Guardian (to be included in WC3: All in One); for the Orcs I'm thinking of including an Assassin based on Garona (also from TLG); more ideas more than welcome
(2) Unholy Armor: make target unit temporarily invulnerable for half HP
