If you want a brutally honest opinion, Im not sure it's a great idea. The basic context of it is either man vs orc, or the too broad and too complex situatio which would require character models of all the 8 races, as well as the other groups.

otherwise, good luck with it. :)

I hate to discourage a good idea but as far as I can recall Blizzard has been very strict in dealing with game mods. In short: they really don't like them. A mod about orcs and humans without the WarCraft label could be fine, though.

There is already a LOTR mod, there is no need for a WOW mod, especialy since WOW is a MMORPG...
A Warcraft mod on the other hand, well, BLizzard still doesn't like that.

I know offhand half a dozen mods (Warcraft and Starcraft) Blizzard has shut down.  Besides, there is nothing less original than taking the generic 'Orc vs. Man' scenario Warcraft creates, use existing Warcraft graphics (I'd assume and suggest you're stealing WoW graphics as well, otherwise I don't think your mod will look any good or be possible to complete).  Warcraft excels because of its gameplay (just as M&B excels because its gameplay).  You can substitute basically any world in the game and it will still be fun.  Most, or all, of us can agree Warcraft is not the most inspiring or original series storywise.  So what's the point of making an unoriginal mod based on an uninspired story using stolen graphics from a fiercely protected IP?

I agree. Gameplay wise I've always enjoyed Blizzards games but story wise they have always been too weak to hold my attention for long.

Plus I've always liked Starcraft better than Warcraft anyway. And I don't think you can make a starcraft mod.
