I am starting an RPG/RTS, and I ran into a slight jam. But let me explain the RPG.
A bigger threat that's bigger than Kerrigan, Deathwing, Arthas and the Prime Evils is heading to the Blizzard universe. All three universes must make unlikely alliances and put aside their conflicts and fight. Or everything they have ever known will be wiped out. You thought the Protoss getting wiped out in the mission "In Utter Darkness" was bad? Or when Deathwing arrived and broke most of Azeroth was bad? Or when the Prime Evils almost took over the mortal realm? This new threat makes the baddies look like the Care Bears. When you're in RPG mode, you kill "wild" creatures and enemies to gain XP. During quests, a few battles are in RTS mode. I don't know whether or not I want an RTS/RPG/TPS mode, but I might do that. Quests will be given depending on where you are, and what you start with. (Like the Pilot class can pick a free Fighter-class ship to start with, and Urun is the only class trainer for Pilots.)
Planned appearances:
Deathwing, Arthas, Tyrande, Sylvanas, Jim Raynor, Kerrigan, Tassadar, Selendis, Diablo Lord of Terror, Deckard Cain, Pepin the Healer, and Tyrael. (Tyrande, Sylvanas, Deckard, Pepin and Tyrael will only be added in if I can get converted models for them)
Classes: Demon Hunter, Barbarian, Rogue, any Larva-evolving species (I need the Larva to move and attack), Zealot, plus some custom Protoss classes I made.
Quests: Depends on the race and class, I have not gotten that far yet.
Achievements: Maybe.
Raids: Not in the near future, but I plan on releasing expansion packs.
Dungeons: ^Same.
Notes: I really need Warcraft III converted models, I posted links below, followed by who made them, because I felt they deserved credit. If I did it wrong I am soooo sorry. This is my first RPG I am serious about making. If the converting takes awhile, no worries. I'll be working on the maps before I even get to units/characters. Plus, I have to learn about making a character selection screen. And attributes. And an inventory. And a vendor. I'd like to use the Diablo UI, so if anyone could tell me how to put that in, that'd be great and almost-godly appreciated.
The way I am mixing the RTS in is when there's a battle sequence, it will swap from RPG to RTS mode. Your character will be a hero unit, and he (or she) gains experience depending on the units he kills. If your character dies, the game is over and you will have to do the quest over at an autosave point or if you load a save file. Your forces will depend on what race you chose, and from what universe. You character can be a Worgen Marine, allowing for both Human Warcraft and Terran forces to battle with. (Example: You cannot pick Zerg and be able to use Night Elf units)
I'm trying to make the Demon Hunter and Ranger models, but I talked to my mom (she's helping), and I am supposed to have 3DSmax, and as I am using my father's computer, he gets grumpy (I'm talking Godzilla trashing Tokyo grumpy D: ) when I add stuff on this machine. So could I possibly have help converting models?
This is gonna take you years to make, I'm sure of it. Sounds like fun, but very ambitious. I wish I could offer you more help beyond saying "good luck"!
Mixing up 3 totally different universes like that sounds a little strange... Also, I don't think Blizzard approves of importing models from different games, and you would need a ton of them.
The enemies will mostly be a mix of Zerg, Protoss and Terran units, as the "New Threat" have taken some of them over. I just need a few models converted :)

I found several Hero Maker assets, Worgen model, etc etc.
But I want to make it to where if you want to be a Night Elf, there's a Night Elf model.
I NEED MEGA HELP! D: *freaks out*

Gonna fix character classes.
I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but I have updated character classes if I can get converted models...
@LongLivetheTalDarim: Go
Oh boy...
