    I have just recently (re)discovered you, and I'm intrigued by what you're trying to accomplish. As a fellow custom-faction-er (or "factioneer") myself, I've always wished to get better at modeling to fill in the gaps & really fulfill my vision, and you are really trucking along towards that. Kudos!

    If you're interested in getting deeper into custom faction design or just getting really specific feedback from fellow "factioneers", well have I got the Discord server for you: Join the Warcraft 3 Factioneers Discord Server!

    It's run by Spellbound & myself, and it's a pretty small, chill, tight-knit place to chat about exactly this. Also to show off custom model WIPs. ; )

    Either way, hope your day is going well & hope you find success.

    Okay cool, thanks!
    tbh I try to avoid reddit and discord; if I'm really into a thing I usually end up at some fan forum (like this) or e.g. nexus for Skyrim, CivFanatics for Civilization etc. I dunno it's partly me being a boomer I think. That said I'll try to muster up the courage to give it the benefit of the doubt :p

    If I made a dedicated thread about my faction on here would you guys be interested in contributing? I think it could be good for my morale too if I just dropped most of my ideas for people to comment on without having to completely realise them before getting criticism. There's also maybe 3-4 spells that are kinda placeholder and I'm really stumped on what to fill them with.

    I've put in, what I believe is, a decent amount of thought and design so far as I came up with the idea during early covid and I had plenty of time to burn with lockdowns happening etc. but I decided it wasn't worth pursuing into reality. just day dreaming about.
    It wasn't until a couple years later I saw Grubby playing the custom Nerubians race that inspired me to actually start making some of it happen.

    Originally I didn't want to get sidetracked with the resources and focused on the mechanics/design or triggering/coding so yeah, I saw those bits you linked ;P but now I probably enjoy making the resources more, lol. At the moment there's maybe 1/3 to half of it finished but just random bits. like a hero's design and spells are totally complete, but haven't even started the model and I dread trying given the expectations I have for it lol.
    There's also the issue that I see my kobolds as a bit more sympathetic than other imaginings. They've got a little bit of lore and background, and some of the early inspirations might not be everyone's cup of tea. Like, how often do people on here think of them with a Skaven influence? (I've moved away from this somewhat) or what do people think about the later depictions in WOW and Hearthstone?

    Anyway, thanks for noticing. If you'd noticed earlier I'd have been busy playing BG3 anyway lol but Hopefully I should be back more now.

    Also I told a couple of people I'd make them models and then just vanished >_> which was kinda shitty.
    Probably busy playing Baldur's Gate 3

    K I think I'm burnt out on Tindur's Date 3 now, so I'm officially back if anyone noticed me gone >_>
