Wildhammer Clan Redux: Warcraft 3 Custom Faction/Altered Melee Showcase

7 hours ago

This is a revisited look at the Wildhammer clan of Warcraft 3, which in the Wars Legacy maps has a more refined appearance with its own architecture set. The Wildhammer Clan in this mod are wildmen who gain special powers at half their health and gather gold from defeated foes. They also have a special relationship with griffins. I took some screenshots of the Wildhammer race descriptions of the faction selection screen and put them on screen at around the 7 minute mark.

Units include: trainable from the Lodgement are Clansman (a warrior of the Wildhammer Clan), Mountaineer (bowman that has the voicelines of a rifleman), Slayer (powerful double axe wielding Dwarf), The Guardhouse trains Siegebeaker which is an axe-throwing siege unit and Ram Vanguard, Archaic Study trains the spell-casters: Shaman of the Wilds (counters enemy spell-casters), Elementalist (offensive spell-caster), and Geomancer (support spell-caster), Gryphon Perch allows you to procure the Griffin units Messenger (scout unit), Gryphon (unmounted creature that can be ridden by a Clansman), and Cloud Guardian (has a chance to do chain lightning attacks).

Heroes include: Lord of the Sky (warrior hero that can gain the ability to fly), Mountain Berserker (a warrior hero that excels in single target damage), Hermit (hero that helps heal and sustain armies) and Primal Sage (has abilities that summons nature creatures to fight for you).

The mod/map can be found on HiveWorkshop.

0:00 This video looks at the Wildhammer Clan of the Warcraft 3 Altered Melee mod Wars Legacy, units of this faction gain special abilities when under 50 percent health but cost more food. This faction also has a unique building set now.

0:55 These Groundskeepers jobs must be fancy if they’re working with gold.

1:05 Traditions of the Wildhammer.

1:21 Clansman as in Scottish clans. (this has to be disclaimed because of a infamous group of racists that exist IRL)

1:33 Wildhammer hero descriptions.

1:58 When a character is depicted as smelly, flies might orbit around them. Not to be outdone, the Hermit can get multiple copies of what appears to be the Legend of Zelda Navi Fairy to orbit her.

3:54 Mortar Combat?, but you throw axes at buildings.

4:23 I think the Geomancer Adept and Master icons depict a Griffin-headed staff.

4:48 We can’t train the messenger yet.

5:17 so a Clansman riding a griffin frees up 1 food point, wish I had noticed that before sending the worker to die while recording.

6:15 the idea of using a bald headed eagle as a carrier pidgeon makes me say America F*** yeah.

7:00 (You may pause to read these) Wildhammer faction description and abilities, Traditions of the Wildhammer, Air Superiority, Rage, and Economic Adaptation.

8:00 We stage our forces near the enemy base.

8:58 We will summon Cloud Guardians from the Griffin eggs for our attack.
