~FAQ~

Q : Is this map contain AI?
A : Yes, it contain AI which varied from Easy, Normal and Insane difficulty. They had been set to be as hard as possible even at Easy. the only AI you cannot select the difficulty of it would be Ralle AI (Available at Challenge Ralle event only).

Q : Is this map balance?
A : Yes, this map have been tested lot's of time by myself to ensure every single creep was well balance, item price was reasonable and so on.

Q : If this map was balance, why do Emperor Haosis & Angel Haosis seems to be overpowered?
A : No, they ain't overpowered. Infact, they are rather well balance unit. The main reason why they seen to be overpowered is because they are the rarest unit in this mini-games.

Also, due to the value and gold rate they provided; it makes them the main target of every player. High hp of the unit is to prevent it from being kill easily and to encourage user to learn how to KS "Kill Steal" in order to rack up their point at Top Gun Event.

Emperor Haosis high damage which capable to kill unit in within 5-6 hits was also to encourage user to buy potion to heal itself.

Q : Why Angel Haosis kill unit in single hit?
A : Cause he was the divine unit and the rarest. It only spawn 3 times in the entire event and give a rather huge sum of gold. Else, what do you expect from a unit that give 10 times the gold values of the Emperor Haosis does?

The high damage is to encourage user to use spell and to adopt Hit & Run tactic.

Q : Does this map have rematch system?
A : Yes, it have rematch system which remove the entire gold, reset every status and remove every single unit in the map to start a new match.

Q : What makes this map unique?
A : Apart from a good AI and variety of game mode to be choose from. Each event does not last longer than 10 minutes to avoid player from getting bored.

To encourage player to focus more on the gameplay, the NPC in this map always move to random position. Making it harder for player to purchase item.

Q : How many NPC available in this map?
A : Three, but they are hard to be find since they always move around the map.

Q : How do they move around the map?
A : The basic NPC usually running around the map which is also known as Supplier Horse, the second npc sold intermediate item is known as Wise Old Man which constantly blink around the map and the third npc sold a good item
often Wind Walk across the map.

Q : Is there any bug in this map?
A : Absolutely NO from me. Infact, I won't be submitting it to this site if I do not ensure the quality at top notch. Rest assure that every single hotkey was working and every item and ability have the necessary description.

Of course, grammar and spelling mistake have been remove as well (But I could be wrong ).

From what I've seen of this math in the past, it is not up to the submission standards here. I'll look at it again soon.

Kinda neat, I guess. But Wc3c doesn't usually mix with the Hive, so some of the inside jokes might fall flat.

Basically, every player spawned as the same hero with a different name and you just spammed abilities

to this moment I still have no idea why we lost. (No documentation)

After maybe 3 minutes of playing, it was just the same thing over and over and over again. That really isn't fun at all, and to be perfectly honest I think the map is really too simple.

There is simple, and there is too simple. This was too simple. Being simple isn't a problem, but you've got no interaction, no replayability, no diversity, no expansion, no brain-required-to-play, etc. Those things combined make the map incredibly dull, and people are liable to leave the game not because it's too hard, no, but rather because there is nothing for them to do.

This would certainly help your 'no diversity' problem substantially.

If it did, I didn't notice it. The game started right away, so I wouldn't have had any time to read it anyways. You should give players maybe a 60s grace period to glance over the quest log before the enemies begin spawning.

Originally Posted by Alexis_Septimus As far as I know, it might require a little skill to play especially when playing against AI. Spamming ability won't be helpful especially when a user trying to kill a strong creep because I have make some creep as tough as possible so user would adopt the method of Hit & Run.

Originally Posted by Alexis_Septimus Maybe it require a little brain, as the shop was often running around and give user the fun of searching and trying to purchase item before they.. ugh* run again..

Originally Posted by Alexis_Septimus So, would having a custom spell book would increase the diversity and chances of approval? Apart from adding additional hero?

Originally Posted by Alexis_Septimus After the host select the event, a message would appear indicate the quest. Just like how the wc3 campaign does. If what you said is true, I would add 15 second time for user to read it.

Originally Posted by Alexis_Septimus Also, I have take caution regarding the file size as well. Since it was a mini-game genre map, I do not want to take the risk of adding more custom spell that could possibly increase the file size of it.

Giving a creep a lot of life does not make it require any additional skill to kill. It just means they have to do the same thing more times.

Kill stealing is not only a lame dynamic, but it's a bloody team game. All that matters is that the enemy dies, not who kills it. If it happens to be any other way, then your map has some serious fundamental issues.

The map is so small, I can right click across the screen without moving my camera and be in range of the shop.

Giving every hero fifty spells isn't going to change the fact that every hero is the same. The problem is diversity in what players do on the whole, not what each individual hero can do. I mean, you can always learn a different ability than your friends, but that doesn't make it feel any different because you both can be the same. That's the thing that needs to change.

Anyways, you should be more concerned with improving your map, not getting it approved. If your map is absolutely awesome, it will inevitably be approved. Don't worry about that.

You need to make it fun. That's the bottom line, and right now it really isn't.

Dusk has been suggesting that you've been making excuses for not fixing/doing anything about.

We are not The Hive. Wc3c has a high standard for the types of maps accepted into the database. If you want to know what "fun" is, check out some of the approved maps that interest you.
