Any more races?
Hey, does anyone know if Yak is planning to add another race to EotA? I know Fel Orcs just came out, but I'm curious. Of course, I mean at any given time, even years if the possibly is there. Just wondered if anyone knew anything further.
Wonder when Felpine Grove is gonna come out...

Re: Any more races?
A better question is, are there enough models for a new race even if desired?
Answer: Almost certainly not.

I hate it when he answers the questions with huge cliff hangers like this -_-DarnYak wrote:A better question is, are there enough models for a new race even if desired?

On a side note, I definitely disagree, just look at all the different races in Wc3 lore, or DotA (cough) for that matter. There are plenty to go around, but finding the right one for a certain theme or desire, now that maybe a little more tricky.
Maybe a dwarf themed races? with other under-the-mountain-creatures themed in it? I know you've got the elves...but I really would like to see a few playable dwarven heroes. Even a Goblin race would be cool, then again, they might go well with Creeps. Who knows. Eh, maybe just stick with four and keep adding heroes....

Re: Any more races?
Dark, there probably aren't enough models of any one race to make a new one (With a possible exception of the Draenei.)
Think about how many models he would need:
basic soldiers (3)
elite soldiers (6)
mercs (9)
and heroes.
They all would need to be different, too. So in order to really make another one, Yak would probably need to download custom models in enough volume to make the map bigger, faster.

"L4D2 promises to set a new benchmark for co-op games. . ." Like L4D promised to hand us new maps, survivors, and zombies? We've seen how that works.

Draenei are part of the Fel Horde(With a possible exception of the Draenei.)

Re: Any more races?
Consider there all of 3 dwarf models in the War3 game, two of wich are used... I seriously don't see Dwarves as a Eota race. Dwarves are also a race of evil bastards in Eota.
Now the obvious argument against more races, at least to me, is that there are only 4 selectable races. So if there are 5 races, one won't be selectable, it'll only be possible to get it by random.
Also, why are you worrying about a whole other race, when the newest race, Fel Orcs, only have 1 hero?

Re: Any more races?
1) There's a lot of problems with game structure and balance atm. that makes Yak crazy enough for daring to add a fourth race =p
2) WC3 has limited models and Yak has done a pretty good job of using them up. Really, at this point his model choices are for a Naga-type race (which seems to be with Creeps) or a Human-type race (who are with the Elves). Four races is a nice set up anyway.

Re: Any more races?
The clear answer here is to import a shit ton of custom models and make the map never load.

That's not the models, that's the sheer amount of custom abilities and crap.Discombobulator wrote:Didn't Yak already do that?Casval wrote:The clear answer here is to import a shit ton of custom models and make the map never load.
There are a bunch of small spell effects though (maybe 40?)

Re: Any more races?
Leek, reread my original post please.Also, why are you worrying about a whole other race, when the newest race, Fel Orcs, only have 1 hero?
No wait, here is what I said:
Meaning I was just curious, nothing more. Your confusing worried with curious.I know Fel Orcs just came out, but I'm curious.
In any event, four is probably good atm, as you said, because there are only 4 choices. I suppose anything can change in the furture, and you did notice that Yak didn't specifically say he won't be adding further races, which has got me wondering...^^
Maybe because he didn't say yes or no specifically?How is that a cliffhanger O_O

Re: Any more races?
The map size for EotA is relatively very small, considering the newest DotAs are close to the limit and usually around 1mb higher than 1.12c.

Re: Any more races?
I hope there aren't. I miss the good ol' Elves vs. Creeps days. When a good balanced game could go on for hours and hours and hours... Now there are heroes I haven't played, THREE rune shells, and crazy orc buildings. What the hell happened here, man?
