(5) Rise of the Scourge

Welcome to my first map presentation :D
first openbeta map version done, here you go! in here you play a hero that belongs to your player ( e.g. frost lord always with player red ) and fight with your team to reach an end. the map is divided in three chapters and lost, when all ( three ) allianced buildings fall. first you'll go against the naga, then the bloodelves and lastly against the human alliance and the nightelves. there are some sidequests and some secrets implemented as well as the chance to upgrade to buildings owned by the allianced force to one of three different buildings ( summoning gate, normal shop or special shop ). as your getting further in the game, the creeps strengthens as well as your current enemy force ( when left alone too long ). instead of lumber, you may gain SoulGem when killing enemies, which is needed to buy better items. some informations are left out at this point for you to search for them yourself. ^^

Map Overview ( Version 0.10 )

World Editor Screenshots

terrain looks nicely done :) will try it soon!

- loading screen: "... open the path to the... ?" (to the what?)
- the hero need a better starting damage (currently 20+ dmg), using 20 hits just to kill a creep (with life 400+) make people yawn fast.
- uhh... player can't select their hero??
- Ghoul's damage is wayyyyyy better than hero... making the game become watyyyy too summoning-dependent than hero-dependent.
- The creep stop coming after a few wave...
- Scroll of restortion is speaking some language i don't understand
- Hero spells are = =" yes indeed simple... but too simple... a hero without triggered spell is a disadvantage in the mapping world now days
- Infernals are able to attack trees, but unable to destroy them (O_o wth..?)
- Elder voidwalker that so powerful just for 85 gold?
- Army damage way higher than hero damage, and hero don't gain exp from army kills. Last hitting is dammmm bloody difficult with the current hero damage!
- The naga siren is basically making my army useless (unless im having a bulk of infernal)
- Altar can't cast a shit during the long long research (boo!)
- Finding the magical "something" is way too difficult for first timer...

Gave up after 30mins...

thx for the feedback ^^

"open the world to the scourge", like they need to pass the forces before they can conquer it. if it's not that part, then i can't find it. >.<

the map isn't meant to be played solo. at least 3 players are needed for it to be playable. *intended*

i wanted it to be easy, thus fixing players to heros. *intended*

ghuls are meant to help the hero at some point but will soon lastly only a short time. *intended*

well... naga are farmin resources and then training units... guess i need to fix the costs and training time... *reproduced, now on the way to fix*

woops... something needs a translation there... sry... ^^ *fixed*

yes, there are atm mostly standard spells. but i wanted some simple working skills with less effects. on a side note, each hero got at least one triggered spell. *intended*

ok, bug. will be fixed. ^^ *fixed*

for the beginning i just wanted to include some summonings. balancing them will happen now. ;) *increased to 325G, each summons now needs 0-2 SoulGem, too*

not quite right, it just won't show as a floating text but killing a creep will result in 100% for the killing unit and 25% for each nearby hero. if killed by a non hero unit, each nearby hero will instead gain 33%. i guess i should add some more tips like that into the description. ( AoE is 1024 ) *intended*

just kill her first then? ^^ *intended*

gonna try to change this.

k, adding some more infos to the quest log. *fixed with a hint*

it's meant to be long. ^^ *intended*
