So uhm, I made a Morrowind map...Kind of my first and I wanted to run it by any Morrowinders from SEN before publishing it on one of the major Morrowind communities.



Code
Aamstergash V1.0
Just a small, simple cave (an ebony mine) with very basic enemies within. For Levels 1-3 (on Normal or Hard).
Directions:
Head out the North-East path from Seyda Neen, follow it until you near Tahriel's body, then turn right.

Flaws in the design:

1) There is no such thing as a low level ebony mine (unless you plan to have it guarded).
2) I see stairs in the background, stairs in a mine? WTF? Ladders, land bridges and the works man.
3) I don't see a mine cart. Although this isn't really neccessary, Ebony is among the heaviest substances. I don't think people are going to carry chunks by hand.


But for your first DUNGEON, its not bad. Just address the few issues. :P

1) I created copies of the ebony rocks that yield 0-2 ebony when you open them, the end result is a haul of around 4800.
2) You have never played Morrowind if you ask this question.
3) Mine cart is behind my toon in the pic

1) 4800 for a starter dungeon is whack. You can buy a silver longsword for 800. Besides, you already get 1000 off each scroll that that guy who falls from the sky.
2) Caldera mines didn't have stairs. Actually, a lot of mines didn't have stairs. DUNGEONS however, do have stairs and excessively random hostile NPCs.
3) I dont see it, but w/e.

1) 4800/2 basically because of bartering and even then it would be like 3+ trips back and forth from Seyda Neen to effectively empty the dungeon of ebony, something I know I wouldnt do myself.
2) I can't really fight with you on the stairs thing, you win there

Anyway ;D I think I finished the dungeon up as much as I ever will now, hopefully I can motivate myself to start another.

But whenever I go in a dungeon it basically says that everyone loves me. ;o Unless I happened upon a cave full very friendly NPCs... They are like "The honor is mine!" when I walk up to them, and others were like "It is truly an honor to make your acquaintance!"

I taunted all the guards in Telvani towns to steal their armour and sell it off.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
