Damn it Uther! As your future King I order you to ______________

purge that city

It's such a shame, wc3 was such an elaborate and expansive story, which all managed to stay coherent.
While wow is just a linear mishmash of bullshit soap opera drama.
Why is blizzard hitler?

>>386317991
no more good custom maps ever again

>>386318306
I replayed Reign of Chaos campaign and found it hilariously exploitable. For example, in purge mission all you gotta do it divide your into 4 squads and send them to different parts of the map, typically winning the game before Malganis breaks his first house. The mission with ships can be solo'd by Muradin since his hammer instagibs the ships, Arthas can solo the final mission.

>>386317991
I'm still wondering why no one has made an actual game of a map like Pimp my Peon or Footmen Frenzy yet.

>>386318960
Would you pay 10$ for it? No then fuck off.

>>386319723
I probably would, actually.

>>386319723
People paid millions for Dota, why not?

>>386319723

this game is literally wilderness survival with a flash art style.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/219740/Dont_Starve/

and its done pretty good, i'm sure theres alot more examples out there probable on the mobile market (think of tower defense maps)

wc3 will never be replicated because modding scenes like this don't exist anymore, they've become far too monetized. newgrounds suffered a similar fate.

>>386320257
Footmen frenzy is an entire thing, Dota was popular like frick. People would literally go to stores and ask for dota instead of warcraft 3. Now dota only had one game, sure there were other AoS types of maps but dota was in another league. Footmen frenzy has so many different versions it's unbelievable, which one would you use to get everyone to play it? And why would people pay 10$ to only play footman frenzy when there are a thousands of other games.

But hey if you're willing to give 10$ for just footmen frenzy give me 60$ and I'll make it for you. I'm already working on recreating Warcraft 3s multiplayer in UE4.

Actually I thought the hero system severely brought the game down as an RTS
Other than that, pretty good yeah

Why are you assuming I'm some kind of SC fanboy? Faggot.

WC3 was truly the last perfect game.

WC3 custom games are a phenomenon and experience of gaming that will never, ever be replicated again. Not ever.

>>386321558
Sorry I assumed your craftgender, typically SC fanboys are the ones complaining the most that WC3 ruined their childhood.

Wasn't there a custom map that completely recreated San Andreas? I'm sure I saw it

>>386317991
I prefer the base game than the expansion.

TFT is great but sometimes I feel like it relies too heavily on you controlling 2 bases/armies for difficulty rather than creating an interesting or unique way to make the mission hard

>>386322441
Not any more than any hero. Sure, level 10 Demonhunter can confidently wreck your entire army, but if you let him grow to level 10 in the first place you probably deserved it.

>>386318698

once i was at holidays for a long time without internet and with an old laptop with wc3 so i started making some melee-like map but with nagas instead of humans/elves etc

ive edited some shitty but interesting maps to make them more playable

i once started creating a hero arena, kinda like fight of characters, but disk got fucked and i lost the map before i finished

>>386328165
I'd take random units, change their name/size/model/damage and fuck around with it until I make a new one

>>386326157

Friendly reminder that Arthas did LITERALLY nothing wrong
>you cannot deny this

>>386328165
forgot to post rest before I asked this
I'm trying to make a custom warchasers map with fancy gui triggered stuff.

So far added necromancer passive Soul Shield that gives him a personal shield that regens over time, increasing it's maximum by a small amount and allowing him to cast on allies for a short time.

I've also added in a base Shield / Temporary health thing in place of major healing as I wanted the Checkpoint "well's that are essentially like bonfires from dark souls with limited healing reserve that ties into a singular item "Entropic coin"

being near a unit's death with coin equipped stores a portion into the coin that can be later used to fuel the wells for good kill to heal ratio or just simply raw healing for a shittier ratio, ultimately to res if you die you need a threshold amount but I'm still working on it.

Because warcraft has so few item slots and because I'm too lazy to incorporate jass or the fancy systems that have a million things to import, I'm adding Risk of rain type power ups that are so far simply ripped from the game

So far crit, crit damage, crowbar (50% bonus dmg to enemies above 80% hp), and chain lightning chance on attack. which all work really well since a damage engine i'm using is so fucking awesome.

>>386328165
i'm still semi active in the modding scene but i never mad a successfull map. mostly focusing on tools

Sadly, the industry's makeup and approach changed. What used to be a bunch of geeks making money by making good games for other geeks, has now turned into businessman making money by running micro economies disguised as games.

>>386328657
if you remember warchasers it has twin paths resulting in the same end, i've made these into two paths that i'm trying to make into strengths & weaknesses to the heros that encounter them.

Like one i've played around with was a really good item in plain sight, grabbing it spawns a bunch of skeletons over time, they don't spawn like instant like normal summons but instead slowly raise from the ground with that nice birth animation

Another was a health stone that sits in a fairy ring, taking it reveals treants that come from all sides, but further down the road the treants come out of all corners of the map for revenge.

you can make an entire new race of fucking kobolds or a god damn racing game with diablo in it.

A fucking game like dota spawned from warcraft 3's editor and without people with creativity and autismal patience we would be stuck playing nothing but starbloat2 for eternity

The game itself was quite medicore, extremely slow and really just boiled down to cheesing stuff.
What made it so popular and big was purely because of the custom games,I bet most people that bought this game did not even touch the campaign.

>>386330043

Losing school friends to Dota was a traumatic experience. We used to gather at the local LAN clubs for all-nighters and played 3v3 and 4v4 ladder (which was hilariously easy to clumb into top 100 if you had any cooperation going on) but then one by one they started playing this abominable map, until I was left all alone.

that's not because its a good engine, it's because Blizzard has thrown 5 normal studios worth of devs at upgrading it. It's a very different beast from what it was.

What, you start with barely any troops. I mean, yeah, you can get a great headstart if you immediately start purging before building up an army, but splitting your tiny army up at the start seems like it wouldnt help a lot.
>muradin instantkill ships
Im petty sure in some patches that is actually bugged in that they made spells unable to target structures (in the past muradin could stormbolt buildings) and thus you couldnt kill ships

>>386318698

The Human campaign is very easy in comparison to the rest.

I didn't find the campaign "hard" till the Orc missions where you help Grom destroy 3 Alliance bases on Kalimdor. This is the first time in the campaign that enemies attack frequently, so your base will commonly get attacked while your army is away attacking another base.

The Frozen Throne campaign doesn't get hard till the Undead campaign.

>>386318306
suspenderoni your pepperoni

>>386335569
I love the orc mission where Grom gets CORRUPTED. It starts as night elves demolish three of your bases while you can do nothing but stand and watch, and keep pressing while you keep hopelessly slapping towers everything, but then you drink from the cola fountain and destroy everything in one swift charge. Felt fucking amazing.

>>386330043

Lol, no you're wrong.

>>386318698
There's a lot of campaign maps the heroes can basically solo, they're pretty stupid powerful when used properly. From memory I think Arthas was probably one of the worst thanks to the invincibility skill, used properly the ai can't do a goddamn thing about you, he'll just slowly chisel his way through an entire base.

This is why "Warcraft 4" needs to allow games to be joined mid game, there are tons of games where this would be useful, any 1v11 2v10 3v9 maps could simply pause for a minute while they wait for another player, maps like the ones you're talking about people don't need to have joined at the start and can join later on. This means if a person puts effort into one of those maps and someone leaves, others could just join in the middle of it. I mean imagine one of those open RPG's if players could join mid game, they would actually be good since if someone dropped, another one could just join. But this should obviously be a option to choose when creating a game, check this box if you want your game to be joinable mid game, then the map creators choose how they want it to work.

But alas, Blizzard will never make this happen because they will never make a game that's oriented toward pure custom games, I mean that's a huge gamble for a company.

This is why an indie developer needs to create it, not a amazing game. But the infrastructure for it all. The only issue is getting people to rally behind an indie developer for this kind of thing.
