Indeed, the cap is 2 in random. It has worked well thus far and there is no reason to change it. However, the global cap of 3 is potentially a problem. 5% interest is a rather hefty amount. If we reduce the global cap to 2, that still allows for 4% interest which is nothing to laugh at. I don't want to nerf the base interest nor the amount gained per pick (incentive).

You will be happy to learn then that we are changing the requirements of the essence in SC2. It is now level 3 of one element or level 1 of all six elements. That ought to address your main concern. Having an upgrade for PTOTE is pointless because there is no way to get 12 elements in a game.

Yup, that is. He is on Europe. I found that West had the least games in the past. Perhaps give US East a shot?

100% done. Creeps.SC2Map

100% complete then.

100% done. Icons.SC2Map

I think it is a free game engine.

Moved to parent forum so you'll hopefully get more exposure.

We have made a lot of progress since the last time I updated you guys. We are very close to the alpha version. There are only a handful of abilities left to make/tweak. The triggers are more or less ready. The last significant thing that remains is merging everything together and replacing all the placeholder content (models, icons etc.) with the real deal. Thankfully though, I worked out all the models/icons/tooltips/names ahead of time. I feel that we are within a week of finally seeing it a reality, but don't quote that estimate.

Much better!

The order of elements is Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Nature, Earth, Light.

Only problem with that is those modes shouldn't get much exposure. However, we can make it so that a random/chaos/short selection eliminates TW and MG.

Pretty self explanatory. This is a work in progress. "**" means placeholder. Edit: Update 1. Edit: Update 2. Edit: Update 3. Edit: Update 4. Edit: Update 5. Edit: Update 6. Tooltips.doc

Deleted the Hot Lava skin. Updated the forum icons to reflect SC2.

Found a video producer .

This looks great to me. If you want to make it a side project and continue refining this wallpaper, that would be much appreciated. I can see it replacing my current one in the future.

Here is another massive update. It is about 98% complete. Additionally, all of the colorless icons have been colored! Icons.SC2Map

We are a week or two away from alpha.

Please keep in mind that the models and icons are placeholders. This video is meant to preview the functionality of some towers.

Just because we have 35 abilities brainstormed does not mean that new ideas aren't welcome. Please continue submitting ideas!

WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne.

Suggestions for changes are welcome.

That 3D desktop would drive me insane!

Got an OCZ Vertex 2 64 GB SSD to complement my HDD. The hype is true. SSD is so much faster than HDD.

Consider the SC2 1.0 to be what a WC3 5.0 would have been. What kind of characteristics beyond armor/attack did you have in mind?
