Hello there. The title on this topic may ring a bell or 2, but most likely not. We are a project born more than a year ago with a few scattered souls from sc.org, back in the times where SC2 was almost given up on. Therefore, our team decided to create an unofficial expansion for SC1, and Starcraft: Sons of War was born.
In the light of SC2, a lot of people are replaying maps, getting back on BN and trying out long forgotten mods: no better time could come for the completion of our project. It is not a campaign, but a full mod.
FEATURES:
- 6 new units to enhance multiplayer gameplay: Zerg Bane, Zerg Matralisk, Protoss Phalanx, Protos Vanguard, Terran Rattail and Terran Tomahawk.
- New heroes and a shiny new storyline as well: intrigue, unexpected alliances, new menaces and rising factions.
- A single campaign for each race, taking you through the SOW plot.
- Unseen cinematics, 100% produced by our hardworking staff.
- Voices.
- New doodads and critters.
Basically, think of Antioch Chronicles with cinematics and 6 fully modded units... not overlapping any existent unit, but rather enhancing each race's playability.
Why, do you ask, are we posting here? amongst other things, we're desperately looking for mappers. Our campaign works are almost non existent, as we have been focusing on other not so urgent stuff... I have been forced to start mapping myself and believe me, I can do it fine, but it's not something I get thrilled about >.<
We have the basic layout for each mission, we have the complete storyline, and we have some voice casters just waiting for the final lines: we only need people such as yourself, with great knowledge of mapping tools and resources, to put everything together. We can provide anything else.
Samples? Mapping wise there are none, but if you want to see some of our work go to

The stuff there is really old, since we haven't been on public for a long time: but it will give you an idea of what we're aiming for. We hope to give SC1 the retirement it so deserves =)
Here's some of the artwork we have produced recently:
Terran Ghost for cinematic purposes.
Terran Tomahawk: short range AG bomber which releases bomb barrages upon massed enemies.
Terran Rattail: Zerg pulverizer. Shoots radioactive grenades that keep damaging the area they're in until they dissapear.
Early Zerg Matralisk Concept: This unit can infiltrate enemy ground and unload troops undetected. As a plus, we have given it the Blind ability.
And finally, a little cinematic teaser. This will probably be the standard quality of our cinematics
If you're interested or at least curious, reply to this topic or send me a PM and I'll give you the link to our private forum so you can take a look. We're not "offering" you a spot: we need you! But we also need people who are not deeply involved in other projects and of course, people with decent skills. Most likely, you will be asked for a sample of your work if it cannot be found here. Thanks!
