Since I' won't have internet in the week to come, I found it best to already give you a taste. Since this is a pre-release, I will have to complete on the following issues before releasing the map, which will probably take a week to finish O- introduction tutorial via player-vote O- basic AI implementation reaching up to tier3 O- highly sophisticated jass implementation for spawn-control, unit count. O- implemented player commands such as '-bounty' O- jassed mass movement scripts allowing an easy command of your units O- 6 tiers based on a common tiering system O- 16 to 18 different types of upgrades per race Though the masses of footmen are soon to lighten up as the next generation of fierce warriors is to claim the battlefield and prove that only by advancing in research and technology this battle can be won. Zone Control Evolutions features even higher massed battle than known from footmen wars and previous Zone Control type of maps. I very much hope it will bring you hours of fun and immersion. This is a pre-release of a map created from pure scratch, its core now being based on about 3000 lines of custom jass code. This guy is me, and after about 9-10 months of planning and conceptual work, learning GUI, roaming the forums, (especially here at theHelpers where I acquired some solid basics), learning the 'secrets' of WE and acquiring a solid JASS knowledge, my journey has almost come to an end: My map is I'd say 99% complete and 99% playable in singleplayer and multiplayer, though some issues like improving the AI and finishing the last cinematic are still awaiting completion. He can be thought of as a somewhat crazy guy harbouring weird ideas and high ambitions so in his drive to realize his ideas he stumbled over this forum and soon received all the good advice needed to make rapid progress. He didn't know much about the warcraft World Editor, he had rarely heard of Jass.

His main inspiration were the intro cinematics which portray those enormous amounts of grunts storming down the hill, just to clash against that army of human swordsmen.Īccording to his opinion, most units in warcraft 3 profited a lot if their stats were closer to their character: have siege engines move and shoot slower yet more powerful.give footmen less hitpoints so they won't survive the damage of bursting catapult rounds and mortar shells, yet agile enough to destroy a siege machine once they have surpassed the critical distance.have mountain giants even more laggard, more bulky and more toughened-up, so they better portray the image of hard living stone that can barely be destroyed by man's force.

About less than a year ago, some guy had this idea of turning warcraft 3 into real mass battle.
