Warcraft: Total War (WTW) Original Thread

[King of Stormwind]

I hope to be able to see the faction Stormwind with some units in a month :/

[Scrotasticus]

One more sugestion is that Scourge farms are turned into Plague cauldrons and plauge spreaders (as next tier up) and on the campaign map the farmland could be made to look like the Plaguelands.

Good work eoghan, why don't you join your skinning ability with paleo's modelling skill?

this is what ive got so far for my first unit ... lemme know what you think (IT HAS NOT BEEN SKINNED) colours are just place holders

i will uv map the whole thing but i'll need some help with the skinning at the end i think

[Scrotasticus]

Looks great, Paleo!

[Paleo]

what sword should i give them ???

[TheHappyCrusader]

what sword should i give them ???

Model looks great. Well, if this is for the footman, a longsword and heater shield (like in WC3). Could also use that model for the crossbowman (crossbow, sword as secondary weapon).

[Paleo]

i mean what sort of sword ... like is there a certain type they use ? do you want it proper fantasy or realistic ??

[Sulfurion Blackfyre]

Try to give it a realistic sword but with some decorations.., remember this is the basic soldier that wears 'mass produced' weapons and admor, not "bigass huge badass sword that realistically speaking wouldn't probably even cut butter"

Btw Paleo, don't forget to give him leg armor they also have plate armor beneath their skirt.. I assume the skirt and the little "flaps" beneath his shoulderpads are going to be mail armor or just cloth? I mean that's kind of indifferent in modelling terms I guess it's the skin that decides it. But yeah it looks good

[Gandalfus]

You should have an ashbringer ancillary.

okwell ive nearly finished the model, just finishing the legs off ...

[Sabazios' Follower]

I have two sugestions on the map: A pass behind Orgrimmar into Azshara and splitting Andorhal into East and West Andorhal.
The second sugestion isnt really important, I just thought it would be cool because it does get split up by the Alliance and Forsaken in WoW (I know this is a wc3 mod and i support that over a WoW mod but its just a sugestion)

There is no point to spilt Andorhal at all. It's clearly a stupid WoW element. After all there was not any resistance force after it's capture from the Scourge, it fell under Undead's full control. I would suggest that Caer Darrow starts as a human settlement, as it is orignally that way, then fall into Scourge hands from a sudden huge unrest(due to the Cult of the Damned appearance), but if it remains as such it's not bad either, Scholomance has its base there so it is clearly a base of evil.

[Gandalfus]

Well, andorhal is a strategic position, so it would obviously be heavily contested being on that island type thing. So no need to split it, just have it fortified with stone walls perhaps.
And I agree with Caer darrow, at this time the Barov's were just nobles.

Don't forget the shield!

Btw guys I understand many of your complaints and suggestions, I'm not saying that you should stop your feedback, it's just that sometimes it's funny because many of the things you say (like giving northrend various regions) I mean the map is complete, all the regions are there and all the factions are there, it's just that HappyCrusader cut down a lot of "features" we already have and toned the mod a lot for the Alpha..

[Paleo]

already done that !

[Paleo]

ok a nice little update for you .... the model is finished
