No, I actually don't. I've got about 12 started projects but I almost never completely finish anything. I've made a lot of experiment maps as well. But if you would like to see any of my finished maps, I would be glad to show them.

I have made 2 complete "boss maps". They are extremely simple. It's just that you controll a character and tries to beat a boss. However... it's not like you just have to wack away like in normal battles. Instead, the boss in invurnable until a specfic moment and the boss also have a specific attack pattern etc. There's a lot of stuff that probably could be improved... but I'm not really a map maker expert... so... yea.

In the boss maps, I've usually created my own spells for the bosses that are used on the map, not directly at the character you're controlling, in order to make every attack from the boss possible to avoid somehow. But the boss maps are pretty much just experiment.

I've also made 2 movies. But they are just sick and doesn't make sense at all. However... if you've got a weird pretty screwy sense of humor, then they might be whort watching. 1 of them is a parody of the "Archimond attacks the World Tree" scene.

I've spent a lot of time making campain maps... but those NEVER gets completed. I usually only ends up starting on a new one. It's pretty pointless... really. I spend up to 12 hours on a map, and then I never finish it.

Anyway... I don't know where to upload my completed maps.

Ultima, do you have any maps you created uploaded on the web anywhere?

I, myself, have always tried to give mana boosting items to my Crypt lord rather than to my Lich. Since the lich gets a great mana increase as he levels up and have a nice mana recovering amount + have the Dark Ritual spell that becomes useful later on, mana is usually not an all that big problem with the Lich. Even though it's a spell caster and is pretty expensive when it comes to Magic (Frost Novas and Frost Armors). The Crypt Lord on the other hand have a very low max mana AND slow mana recovering. That's the reason Impale may get a bit useless at times... since you never get to use it because of its pretty high mana cost. But if you actually manage to get a nice mana boost for your Crypt Lord, it becomes very powerful. Impale is, in fact probably the most powerful spell in the game when it comes to hunting down escaping armies and kill a lot of dammaged low HP units at once. Frost Nova is probably still THE most powerful offensive not-ultimate spell in the game (that not can hit your own units. Flame Strike is capable of being more powerful than Frost Nove but it's not instant and it may do dammage to your own units). A lot of dammage, frost effect, area dammage + can be recast quickly. But Impale is not far from being just as good. Extremely wide area, not much dammage to 1 unit but great dammage to armies + stun effect AND it can be recast quickly. I've won many times thanks to Impale.

Your usernotes are turning into a War Craft III forum.

Oh, and by the way... Squinn, while I think the humans are the most boring race... they are, infact, very balanced and powerful.

Undead rules, humans=crap, roll on crypt lords

Ya, I have a friend that really likes the crypt lord as well. I'm not exactly sure what his strategy is currently (he too busy playing World of Warcraft) but I know it involved lots of horrible death.

Yes, the Dreadlord is also very nice. And Inferno is, in my opinion, 1 of the most powerful ultimate spells. I still like the Cryptlord more though. It is almost impossible to kill a CL with melee units when it have that spike-shell thing at Level3 and is under the effect of a levl3 frost armour. And it's unstopable once it gets its ultimate spell. Also... I just love the Impale ability. Frost Nova and Impale are probably my fav offensive spells.

A trio of Lich, Cryptlord AND Dreadlord is insanely powerful. With Vampiric aura added to the buffs, the CL really IS impossible to take down. Or if you've got a Death Knight with Death Coil. But by some reason i don't really like the Death Knight that much. I think the other 3 are much more intressting.

I like to do a Dread Lord and Lich combo. Dread Lord doing the melee and Lich doing frost nova and buffing everyone with frost armor.

Awesome. Oh, and by the way... what's your fav melee hero? I've always loved the Lich and Crypt Lord.

Sure thing. I would appreciate any suggestions. I'll let you know when it's done.

Sounds cool. I would like to try it out when you're done with it.
