The War of Khaz Modan: Thorium and Death

07-21-2009, 07:56 AM

The War of Khaz Modan: Thorium and Death is a new AoS map I'm working on.

Short storlyine:

The 'story' takes place when the Undead scourge decides to invade the dwarven lands of Khaz Modan, because of a recent rumor of an ore found in the mounts of Khaz Modan by the name of Thorium. This ore could be used to forge extremely tough metal, and both races - Dwarves and Undead - want to use it for their own needs. The resident Trolls and Nerubians took this situation for their own advantage and are now selling various items and are hiring various mercenaries for the dwarven and undead armies.

Features:

Upgrades for your units are available at the Blacksmith or Graveyard - in addition to basic damage\armor upgrades, you will also be able to research new units or upgrade your already spawning units. As an example, you'll start with only Warriors and Axe Throwers(or their Undead counterparts: Skeleton Warriors and Crypt Fiends) spawning at your base, but you'll be able to research in order to upgrade them into Shieldbreakers(from Warriors), Riflemen(from Axe throwers), Ghouls(from Skeleton Warriors) or Crypt Crawlers(from Crypt Fiends). You will also be able to research in order to allow new units to spawn - such as the Steam Tanks, Flying Machines, Necromancers, Frost Wyrms, Gargoyles and Steam Fortresses.
Each race has it own "ultimate" unit - Steam Fortress(Dwarf) and Frost Wyrm(Undead) - who are very powerful units whose spawn time is very long and they require researches to be made before they are able to spawn.
Mercenary\item shops available to both races.
3 unique heroes for each race.

Michael Peppers	Heh, didn't see this thread until now. If you need help with coding don't be afraid to ask... though I'm a not a lot active these days... in case of need, PM me :)

Pyrogasm	Well, I don't like the Thane's abilities. The first two and the last two both use the same basic mechanic. +Damage for the 1+2, Lightning AoE damage for 3+4. Not exactly a lot of variety if you ask me.

Kwah	Well, it just doesn't seem particularly interesting or compelling. And 3 heroes per, is cutting it rather thin, no? I can't really say much about the map at this point.

THE_END	Yea I was about to say the same as Kwah...only three per race? Or is this at it's first stage, more to come...?

deolrin	Hopefully more will come. Also, the map itself is 3vs3. Now for the Thane, feel free to give suggestions, I'm not exactly the guy with ideas.
