HAVOK
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Tremble, mortals ! Nobody's perfect but the strongest will stand forever. Join, conquer and pwn !!!
An epic battle between special Heroes who each owns a unique power to claim the ultimate.


As the title said, it's an Arena.
My first time making an arena, I hope it's not too bad

Here is something about my map:
◊ TERRAIN
I'm not good at terraining so the terrain is NOT awesome but I think it's ok. (it still need more decoration though )
here is a shot of entire map view
Hidden information:
Zoom (requires log in)

◊ GAME MODE
The map currently has:
  • -ar: all random mode
  • -ap: all pick mode

  • -tk: take and hold (EDIT: the game will auto-chose this mode)
    There are five "Altar of Power" (which looks like Circle of Power) on the map (somehow you know where they are after see the entire map view, right ?).
    Use "Power Channeler" (trained at your Circle of Power) to take control of all five Altar of Power for victory.
  • -cf: capture the flag
    Capture enemy's flag and reach the flag limit
  • -dm: death match
    Kill enemy heroes and reach the kill limit

  • -ei: extend inventory system
    Each hero will have 10 slots of inventory instead of 6.

In the first 15s of the game, type these command to chose the game mode.
If you want All Pick + Extend Inventory, type -apei.
If you want All Pick + Extend Inventory + Captue the Flag, type -apeicf
Remember that the if none of the there game mode: -tk, -cf, -dm are chosen, the game will auto-chose -tk
◊ ELEMENT SYSTEM
Currently there are 7 elements: Fire, Cold, Nature, Earth, Holy, Shadow, Arcane
  • Damaging Influence (should I use another word )
    • Fire deals 50% extra damage to Cold and vice versa
    • Nature deals 50% extra damage to Earth and vice versa
    • Holy deals 50% extra damage to Shadow and vice versa

    • Cold deals 25% less damage to Nature
    • Nature deals 25% less damage to Fire
    • Fire deals 25% less damage to Earth
  • Healing Influence
    • Nature takes 50% extra healing from Cold
    • Fire takes 50% extra healing from Nature
    • Earth takes 50% extra healing from Fire

    • Fire takes 25% less healing from Cold and vice versa
    • Nature takes 25% less healing from Earth and vice versa
    • Holy takes 25% less healing from Shadow and vice versa

Each hero will be given a random element among: Fire, Cold, Nature, Earth, Holy, Shadow

Element will be shown as a buff
◊ HEROES
  • Attributes added some extra features to hero's attributes
    • Strength
      • Each point increases hit point by 20
      • Each point increases chance to parry
      • Each point increases hit point regeneration
    • Agility
      • Each point increases attack speed by 1%
      • Each point increases chance to vital strike
      • Each 10 points increases armor by 1
    • Intelligence
      • Each point increases mana by 15
      • Each point increases chance to spell crit
      • Each point increases mana regeneration
  • Skills[/b] Each hero has 5 skills:
    • Three skills with 4 levels, learnable at level 1.
    • One ultimate with 3 level, learnable at level 6.
    • One extra (or "ultra") with 1 level, learnable at level 15.

Currently, there are total of 16 heroes, 8 for each team.
◊ ITEMS
The current items system is a bit... messy, and the number of items is not many.

The items have classes: weapon, shield, helm, armor, gloves, boots, accessory, misc, charged

Can equip only ONE weapon, shield, helm, armor, gloves, boots; TWO accessory; misc and charged are not limited.

if you already have one weapon and you pick the second one, the second one will be muted, if you put the second one to a higher slot than the first one, the first one will be muted instead.
◊ CREEPS
There are three... "level" of creep:
  • Weak: they are low level creeps
  • Strong: "higher" level creeps
  • Unique: some high level creep with attribute ( I will explain this "attribute" later )

Also there are four "raid". Yes, you go in there, kill bosses to get items. But there aren't many valuable items because the item system isn't complete :P

I think I will end the introduction here

Also if you see any of your resources in my map without your credit, please PM me so I can credit for you, thanks
◊ SIDE NOTE
  • The map can only be played with patch 1.24
  • The Heroes Selection System, I got the idea from Zekareisoujin's EWA (though there is a bit different), I didn't offically ask him about this but I think it's ok if I credit for him (he is my friend, though)
  • The extra feature: Intelligence: Each point increases chance to spell crit is still on experiment, well, the most difficult part is how (when, where) to show the critical number <- this gives me a headache .
    I decide to show the critical number on the caster when the spell hit its target but I still don't feel satisfied.
    And... should I increase the spell crit chance ? for testing only
    For more information about your hero, use command -st
  • Please test in mode -ei, I want to get rid of all the bugs in this mode asap. If can, please send me a replay and tell me when the bug occur.
  • My map has some unusual systems so with a-not-strong-enough computer, you would get lag.
  • For more information, please see Map Info

  • If you wonder what does "HAVOK" mean, you can assume its meaning as HAVOC, anyways, it's just a name

Man, I know people usually like colors, but for posts it makes it really hard to read. You should just bold/italicize/resize things instead for emphasis.

Tom_Kazansky
ok, I removed those colors, sorry about it

and I really can't use font size above 4 <- size="7" but it's 4

You can use the size macro, you just need quotations around the size. [size="5"]Rawr[/size] yields rawr.
