Get information about this map here.

This is serious now, I spent 5 months in this map, And I am releasing the Alpha Test now.

If you are interested, test mostly gameplay / rules, Cause some Heros, and alot of items and spells, are going to be implemented later and will be testing in the last 2 tests that are going to be about balance

This is the first of four test editions that I will release.

I just like to now how is this map in multiplayer matchs, and how it works. And if people consider it fun.

So please I already tested the Trainning mode, go play with humans, also try to contribute with your feedback / not trolling please. IF you don't like something please say how to fix it - that is the meaning of constructive critisism.

Edit: I am currently fixing the bugs we found in the released version

hmm some hero on the left side of the gallery has his shockwave skill not selected

Ok, I will check the shockwave thing, what do you meanby "all skills miss the lvl-4 description" ?

However, don't test the trainning mode, play with humans, damn it!

This is the alpha test ^ * points to the thread's title * How you expected new stuff. Also I am not going to create esxtremly new stuff ( besides a lot of custom items ) Since Arenas that do it became annoying after the Second game.

The other 7 guys that downloaded it give me feedback please.

I suggest for each skill, give a fairly good/long description, and no "level-by-level" descriptions. It'd be more in-depth and give a gist of what the skill will be like.

The map is not very multiplayer friendly: when the game starts, it begins to really slow down, as though there were a hundred loops going on in the background. Also, there are some glitches that disable user interface permanently, after you wait 30 seconds in your team area. Finally, after a few minutes of game time, team 1 always gets a victory.



The lag I think has to do something with the Creep creation that usually creates 5 creeps at the same time (however having such a fast comp is a disadvantage when creating maps, cause I didn't note lags in my map), But I note a little lag at the start that gets removed after 1 second, I am going to check the User interface thing.

About your last line, I don't understand well, team 1 gets the victory cause of a glitch? or cause some imbalance?

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really needed it.

I will fix the tooltip stuff later

I will really need time finding the victory bug, everything seems fine.

The weird thing is that i played and played against 11 computers and never get a victory.

As for the lag, I understand that game speed needs to be the same for everyplayer, if a player's comp can't go fast every other players get stuck, I need to optimize my map running,

Most of the loops I made work for the Computer Players AI, Were there computer players in the games with slow down?

Once I think that the Victory Bug is fixed I will release 0.010 , still alpha,
