New Original Hero Arena (Need small team)

I originally posted this thread in the wrong forum so let me try it again...

This is a old project , i terrained this map a long time ago but things kinda fell through on it so i am taking it over...I will provide a picture of the map below...and these are the positions i need filled..

--possibly 2 Trigger experts (there is alot to be done)
--Spell creator
--unit balancer (items, units)

My position is terrainer, cinematics, and story leader...yes there is a story behind this arena.

--The arena is based around 4 teams of three people each..Each team is a different race (i.e. orc, night elf, undead, and human )...

--Each team also has its own area/home from which they can teleport to and from the arena, there should be a time limit on how long the players can spend inside their home (about 20 seconds) just long enough to buy items/basic tomes and maybe a potion or two, this is to keep the game moving...

--Each team has there own private hero selection behind their home/areas (see picture below)...each team starts out with a basic teir 1 unit from which they can attack the hero of choice to gain control of it, 2 people on the same team cannot have the same hero...each team also has a secret hero they can choose, it will be in the form of a rock or a tree depending on the race, if this rock or tree or whatever is attacked they will get the secret hero

--I personally hate arenas where 10 minutes into the game u have people dealing like 400 damage and carrying 8000 hp, that ruins it for me...I would like to see this arena take strategy and skill...which is why unit balancing in this would be extremely important...

--First team to reach 50 kills wins...you can only get kills for the winning kill limit in the main arena, side quest areas and duals do not count...

--Let me explain to you my ideas about dualing, in every arena you get that one a.s.s.h.o.l.e who just pisses the shit out of you and you want nothing more then to f.u.c.k. him up..well here is your chance...This is what i had in mind, a player would hit the esc button on the keyboard to bring up a dialog menu, the first dialog menu would contain 3 buttons with the three opposite teams on them, the player would then click the team that the person he/she wants to dual is on...then another menu would come up listing the players on that team, he or she would then choose the player they want to dual...then a dialog menu would open up for player on the other team asking him to accept or decline the invitation...I have no clue if this is possible, i have mild experiences with dialog menus, i just think it would be really cool to have...but anyways if a person excepts the dual both players are teleported to the center of the main arena (see picture below) where gates form and close the entrances to block them in...There is no penatly or prize for the dual just personal satisfaction...

--side areas, these are just places where a team or a player alone can go to creep, level up, and get alittle bounty cash...random week items can be found in these areas, maybe put a few really hard creeps with good items...kills received in this area do not count towards winning kills...

--team dual, every 5 minutes i would like to see each team vote for the player they wish to participate in the dual...once this is done the elected players will face off in the mini arena on the top left side of the map..the winning player will earn his team a big chunk of cash that will go to the team lotto, the team lotto is just prize money that is distributed equally among the teamates....

--mini game, the mini game is just a break from the average arena, i dont have any idea yet of when the mini game will be played but here is what is it...it is located on the very bottom right side of the map...each player will get 1 unit (not regular hero) as he/she is stormed by lvls of creeps...the person to stay alive the longest will win a larg chunk of money that will once again go to the team lotto...





--those are the basic starting ideas of mine for the map, i am sure they will change and whoever joins the team will have creative input as well...i think that once this map is complete it will be in my opinion the best hero arena ever created...or at least that is my goal...

--o and another thing it would be nice if every1 on the team has AIM or any other messanger service so we all can hold chats. this is something i dont want to let die so we all will need to stay in close contact with each other...




Post here and tell me which position you would like, and How you think you could contribute to the map (i.e. skills, past maps, other projects)

thx alot i hope to get this thing started soon
