--- Quote from: "TheBuG" ---I'm curious as to how you'll make Strom, the original capitol of Arathor, look.

It's in any case the best showcase of work from the last year in my opinion. Keep it up!

I do think that Thoradin's Wall should be bigger, now it seems to merely defense against siege weapons, not something like Troll Voodoo. And certainly not the Second and Third Wars that were to follow.
--- End quote ---

Seems to be the popular opinion, and giving it a second thought I think I'll rework Thoradin's wall into something bigger.

Arathor's capital is not yet included in the map, as it's limited to Hillsbrad for release since the map is huge, but I already do have ideas for it.

Basically, the idea is Constantinople in the late Roman era. The walls silimar to Theodosian walls and a cathedral similar to the Hagia Sofia. Obviously, I'm using a lot of real history as visual references on this project, since I personally think that's cool.

At some point Alterac Mountains will be released as well, which will be formed similar to Scandinavia and a strong viking theme around it.

good luck with making a city similiar to constantinople,



I would advice not making classical roman soldiers but instead going with the justinian period.
Although I love the roman period I don't think it would fit the World of Warcraft style.

I'd say the wall you made looks more like hadrian's wall than Theodosius' wall,


Hadrian's wall


Theodosius' wall

matija168:
We're going with both, actually. The standard soldier will look more like the ones you linked. More rugged and less plated. The officers, however, are going to have all the glory of the lorica segmentata. Let me show you a screenshot of the standard legionnaire.





And another random screenshot from the world.



You have a very good point about the wall, too. I'll add a screenshot when I update it.

axel0099:


you also made a varangian guard as I see, is there any special lore about that because in history those were scandinavian warriors.


The fact is that I would not understand the barbarisation of the arathi empire because there are no real migrators like the roman empire had, well anyway that's up to you :P
