Last Wednesday, my socials teacher announced that we have to do a project on Louis Riel. We could do it any way we wanted, as long as it was interesting and creative. Then, DING!, a light went off in my head, and here I am now, finishing the final map on my campaign of the NorthWest rebellion.
For five days now, I have been programming non-stop with the Warcraft III World Editor, and it turns out that Louis Riel is a damn good video game character. There's war, he goes crazy, then dies! It's a perfect war story!
For those of you who don't know who Louis Riel is, he's a Canadian Métis hero, the founder of Manitoba and the 'somewhat' founder of Saskatchewan, who thought he was the Prophet of the Plains, and went mad.
So far, I've got the maps of him going to University, the Red Rivier Rebellion, Exiled to the US, Battle of Duck lake and I'm almost done the Battle of Batoche, where he gets captured and hung. I've got to say that Warcraft III World Editor is an EXTREMELY useful tool, and my teacher is eager to see what I've come up with (I'm the smartest kid in the class).
Sadly, when she gave us the assignment, I was too eager to start the project, and I missed her saying that it's due in a week. After telling her I wanted to make a video game campaign, she reminded me that it's due Wednesday, so this Campaign is going to be pretty crappy. But still the best project in the class!
If anyone wants to see it when I'm done, it's mostly in french, it's quickly done, and the orthograph is horrific, but let me know if I should post it.
