[Taralom]

when i read the title i thought: No way?!
so, you're really going to do this then...
well good luck. show some nice screenies

[Allathar]

Well, if you want to make a HP mod, I would never have done it for an RTS. It's just unsuitable. But good luck anyways.

[Phil]

... It will add 5 factions and all of your favorite heroes of the series and creatures/ buildings ...

I wish you a lot of luck. You're going to need it

[IthronAiwendil]

I think many people have tried this before. But none of them have got really far, so you'll need a lot of motivation in order to get anything ingame for this mod...

[lycan]

I don't think someone of your level can do this mod. i mean it will take ages. well lol good luck

[Taralom]

uh Elvenfury...
you are in the team..
why do you say such stuff if you are in the team?

[lycan]

im not in the team full time. i will voluntary help with things he struggles in!.

well if you think im wrong
go check the the thread in www.ip-clan.com and you will see how much tech trees and stuff to get done in the mod.

[Lauri]

like we care if your in the team or not... your making dissent in your own PART TIME TEAM

how the hell your going to have 5 factions, I have no idea...
Still, I won't wish you luck, as I know it's gonna fail... some day....

[lacrossman930]

thatnks for the umm... encouragment i guess. well i think the 5 faction idea is dead now lol. it will now be 3 or mabey if the first 2 go really well 4. (hogwarts, voldemort, ministry, and order of the phoneix)

anybody want to be part of the team?

[Bebbe]

You really , REALLY need to show more stuff than just a tech-tree if you want people to join.

[lacrossman930]

well right now this is the very first thing i did and we havent made progress yet as its near Xmas and im to busy with other things to do stuff. ill update as soon as i do something though

[lycan]

they got fawkes and death eaters done

[mike_]

I'd merge Hogwarts, Ministry, and the Order into one Faction, and then only have Voldemort as the Evil Faction, IMO.
Cheers,
-mike

[lacrossman930]

DUDE lol i already did that on IP lol. thats weirde lol i was just about to update the tech tree with that fixed lol.

******major tech tree update******

[lycan]

ok heres fawkes courtesy of me

[mike_]

It looks pretty good.
The brightness of the wings, though, is waaay too far from the rest of the body, IMO.
Cheers,
-mike

[lycan]

Yes i will change that. It was for my map.ini but i also ported it to this. lol

[jimiojoe]

well i'd like it if it did work out this modd
only things im thinking about is how units and heroes will vary.

i mean whats dif. between gryffindor units, slytherin and ravenclaw ones?
and hero spell wise, apart from voldy and dumbledore having hench ones with big fx's,
what kind of spells would they have different to each other besides a knockback/draw forward/dissarm (freeze their skills) basic ones

no offence - coz i'd like this map to take off and willing to help out here and there for it =D

PS - AN IDEA - use the watcher model to make some kind of devils snare
ANOTHER IDEA - for the flying units, instead of houses split em up into beaters who attack mellee-like to other flying unit - others can be just mounted aurors maybe, and then perhaps replace gollum with the snitch and have seekers who can catch it and earn a reward for their faction.....although a battle isnt the same as a quidditch match,,, - upgrades for flying units could be locomotor ones, speed improvements, like new brooms
yeh thoughts keep coming to me now... lemme know if you need an idea man =D

PSPS - although saying all that i do like your idea of flupowder/tunnel network fireplaces =D - and i expect there to be lots of cool new fx's probably?
- and maybe hogwarts as a faction should be split up by like first years/senionrs/prefects/triwizard champions etc. instead of houses....

ooooooooooooooh alsooooooo
(=D)
i think (persoanlly) a mod like this might prefer to use single units rather than hordes. - but thats just my opinon.

[lacrossman930]

WOW! thank you very much for all of that i loved all of those ideas and yes mabey we canimplement that singel unit instead of hordes idea but some things will still need hordes I LOVED the snitch idea as well man that was amazing

yes i would love for you to be my idea person

do you have msn or yahoo?

the diff bettween the units of gryy and lets say raven are mabey gryff has more stength and armor damage that them thus they come in a smaller horde but idk now that i think about it it sounds kinda dumb lol.

THANKS A MILLION! for all the ideas so far
