My war3 soccer map: need comments about the experience balancing problem!

I'm about to release the final version of this map, after almost a whole month of development and beta testing. All major bugs were solved. One last problem is the experience balance, which was complained again and again by the test players. I guess I need more suggestions about this from here. :cool:

A brief description: a 5v5 soccer game, using war3 heroes with their abilities, like sleep, possession, "instant teleport" (one of the several new abiilities created with triggers.), etc. Time is 10 minutes.

In previous version, the team goals gain XP. Therefore if one team is able to goal 3 or more, the players of the team will be 1-2 level higher than the opponents. In this version I give 300xp to goaling player, then 100xp to all others, plus every 6 seconds everyone gain 12xp. Test played and looks ok so far. Please tell me how do you feel after trying.

Another less important issue is that, as you may notice, my English is not good. :p Therefore, please tell me if you think any sentences in the game can be changed.

Please post the comments here or e-mail to me at [email protected]

Thanks! :) :) :)

Any reply? No one like soccer here? Football? I got much better response in the server and forum that I first released this map at. :confused: :confused: :confused:

*sigh* Better make a basketball game next time. :rolleyes:

Hmmm I haven't played this map yet, but a soccer game sounds like fun :D

Thanks! Please give some comments after you have played it! :)

I played *A* soccer game, but don't know if it was yours. The filesize on this map was over 1 Mb, mainly due to the included MP3 file. It was La Vida Loca or something (spelling?).

In my humble opinion the extra wait (even with cable modem - can you imagine a poor 56 Kb player...take 'im over 4-5 minutes) is just not worth being able to listen to this song while you're playing. I would remove it. It'd be different if the thing was only 200 Kb or something....

Just a suggestion.

Care.

No, it's not mine. My game only takes 81k at the moment. Actually I did not notice any good warcraft 3 soccer game around, so I decided that I should make one myself! ;)

This is fun, nice idea, havent seen it before, and the experience is a bit of a problem try adding artifacts as bonussus instead of experience.....

Thanks!

Giving artifact is an good idea. I actually considered that but it turned out to cause more game playing problem.

I'm going to release the final version tomorrow and the fine tunning of the experience balance is the last issue. Right now the goal scorer gains 300xp, all others gains 100xp. Then there is also 12xp gains every 6s constantly. I played several times and think it's ok, but I want to know how the others think. Is the game balanced under this system? Any better idea?
