In the same order, on the second line:

We can see Orc Blacksmith too.

I seek Ideas to make this new faction more interesting and pleasant to play, like differents units and building...

[Blueblaze]

It looks really good, send me an email at email-^-yahoo.com I'd love to help out with you, but contact me if you can, thanks.

[Blueblaze]

One thing is, you need some new buildings lol

[josepzin]

Very good! :) Orcs! :D

[Daemon ]Fr[]

I have some skills with photoshop, but i am really bad at modelism...
I must seek some tutorials to begin with 3DSmax and make some new buildings  :)

[Blueblaze]

Heh, I have no skills being an artist either :P, but I can mod textures a little, atleast enough for the mod I am working on, but I love the Orcs still heh. What changes are in the faction aside from just looks?

[Daemon ]Fr[]

With Orc you don't have to choose between Magic and Tech, they can make chaman like they can make swordman, it is the most important change i think  :P

[Blueblaze]

I see, so its like a mixture between the two factions, with some magic and some tech right? As well, I think your textures are nice, I like the horseman too. I'm working on a mod and trying to get textures and such for more units, do you have any orc textures I could use? If so email me them at email-^-yahoo.com but thats fine if you'd rather keep them to yourself.

[Daemon ]Fr[]

I just mailed you  :P

[Blueblaze]

Thanks :)

[Blueblaze]

How is this project coming along?

[Chimaira]

you should change the armor, and not just the faces, I would make some dark looking armor.

[Doom_Goat]

Well, it certainly is a start. They kindo of look like green humans. I would maake them more muscular, and make the armor more barbaric. The buildings should be primitive stick forts, and animal skin tents. Great progress so far, but i would advise to not make a direct copy of the orcs in Warcraft 3. also, try to add some goblins or something of the sort.

[Bien M]

Yeah! a little bit too humanish :?:

[xiro.xiro]

Yeah, it's a good start since you seem to be good at texturing, let's make a really new faction!!!

[Bien M]

yeah good idea xiro
im good at vhicles but i work max 5

[divineauthority]

this is lookin pretty good, especially for a beginning point (please dont take any offence to that)

like someone previously mentioned i reckon they could do with 'buffing' up because orcs are always pictured as hench wild beasts. i think it would also be nice if you could give them a 'hunched' look, it would certainly help make them stand out.

for buildings id say hawaiian style huts and maybe tents to give a barbaric and undeveloped feel.

but like i said this is lookin great (as long as its still goin :O)

[angelus]

Orcs = Very good idea!
E-mail it to me and perhups I'll help you (if I have good ideas).
angelus62400-^-hotmail.fr

[Geckabor]

Awsome!!,but exept if you would make other buildings then it would be cooler. try to make them with other armour too.xD sorry if my ideas are dumb

[titi]

If you are interested, email/upload it to me ( also if it's not finshed yet ) and  I'll publish it on my website (www.titusgames.de) .
I also can help you modify the behavier of the new faction and
my sons can test it to get a balanced new faction.

mail it to info_at_titusgames.de
or contact me to get a ftp-login where you can upload it

[theotherhiveking]

very nice, u continue in the project?

[Aquilia]

I like the idea!

I don't think I can help you since I'm quite new to this...
