our old thread was getting humongus, so i dicided to create a new one with icluding all the updated and gameplay facts. some stuff is still to be updated, i will spread it over several posts, for easyer reading. for those who are interested: here is the old thread, in wich we discuss changes before posting them here. if you would like to have influence on the game, go to that thread. if you just have comments you may post them in here as well, as long as it doesnt get big and scary like the old thread. The story: After the wars, when the lich king was revived, Illidan and his followers fled to the far shores of Kalimdor. Driven to the near adge of insanity, Maev was still obsessed with hunting down Illidan and bringing him to justice. After she was rejected by Malfurion and Tyrannanede, Maev became desperate. The Lich king, also still wanting to destroy Illidan, saw Maevs slow descent into Insanity, and siezed his chance. he offered to help Maev hunt down Illidan, at the prize of her soul. Maev, Desperate and broken, accepted the Lich kings offer, in hope of finally be able to not only recapture Illidan, but to rid the world of his being for good. Gameplay: There will be two teams; Maievs Watchers – Illidans Forces. Both sides will spawn 3 warriors and 1 ranged unit every spawn. Each team will feature 9 unique custom heroes, and almost 36 unique custom abilities. The goal is to destroy the leader of the opposing team's leading hero, Illidan or Maiev. The heroes will be inside their base, so to accomplish the killing of a hero you will have to destroy the base first. To get strong enough for this, heroes will have to make enough money to buy good and strong items. Money can me made with the killing of heroes, units and creeps. There will be 4 creeping grounds situated on the map where creeps can be killed for money. Items can be purchased at various shops. On the map there are four additional bases that belong to neutral hostile races: A human camp. An orc camp. A druid camp. A troll camp. These camps will have basic defences and unit producing buildings. These camps will also have a leader. If the leader of one such camp gets killed, the remaining soldiers of that camp will accept the killer as their new leader, and they will start producing units for your team that will join the rest of the army. Now, if the newly accepted leader gets killed, its killer will claim leadership over the camp the leader leads over, and so giving his team leadership over the units. These camps will spawn 3 units, the type of units depends on the race. If some things are still not clear to you, post your comment and I will update. |

Malgenadis the Nightmares Incarnate. Malgenadis spawned from another world, the world of dreams. Being in this world he is still able to call upon the world of dreams to manipulate both the sleeping and the wake. He can put units to a soothing sleep, recovering their health, but once asleep he can give them a terrible nightmare, ripping their minds apart. He is also able to create a tear between the dream world and the real world, taking control of everyone on the area while the rip exists. Kryptikk Soulslayer; Soul Revenant. Kryptikk is the master of energy. He can control the flows of energy in the world, taking the energy of his foes, storing it and giving it to his allies. He is able to contain vast amounts of energy, and then realease it into an area around him, converting it into pure damage. We recently had to drop Maievs third spellcaster and are still toying with a new concept. Drena Darkstalker; Maievs Pupil. One of the closest followers of Maiev, and will protect her at all cost. The corruption of the scourge has lead her to learn new abilities to crush her foes.

Naisha the Sleepless Once Maievs right hand, she fell into the darkness when the tomb of Sargaras collapsed. Maiev requested her revival of the Lich king, but once revived Naisha was not the same. She fell so deep in the darkness that her strength now depends on it, but at night she makes a terrifying appearance, so terrifying that the sight of her alone is crippling to her enemies.

Perra Perspicus the Ghost Ranger Once a feared ranger among her enemies, she is now but a shadow of her formar self, barely able to hang on to the real world, but killed by Illidan himself, she cannot be at piece with her death while he is alive.

Muradin Bronzebeard the Frostmancer After his dead body had been laying in the ice near the frostmourne pedestal for a long time, the lich king sent out his necromancers to revive him, knowing that he would be a helpful peon in his games. After being frozen for so long, Muradin has not remained the same. His movement has become slow, but he is able to slow and freeze anything with his new found icy powers. Commander Nay, Horseman of the Apocolypse Cammander Nay is a formar human leader, a very good trategic thinker. at one point he was driven mad by necromantic macics and drove his army into destruction. now, resurracted, he is one of the most ruthless leaders the world has ever seen, sending his loyal men to death te better his own goals. |

There will be four creeping grounds where you can kill creeps to make money. Killed creeps will respawn after some time. Not much is known yet about the creeping ground accept that each creeping ground will have a boss creep that, if you kill it, drops an item that allows you to summon him forth to fight for you for a short duration. The boss creeps will not respawn until they are summoned and have died in battle, or simple when the summon timer runs out. This is to be updated. |

There will be a total of 8 different shops, 2 shops that are simulair in each town, and 6 town specific shops; one for Illidans forces, Maievs Watchers, the orcs, the humans, the Trolls and the Druids. each shop will have various types of purchasable: -Artifacts: these are items that increase your power permanently -Potions: these are items that increase your power temporarily -Spellbooks: these are artefacts that allow you to cast a fifth spell. You will only be able to carry one such item. -Mercinaries: units to fight for you, that have veriouse traits and abilities. Mercinaries all have one item slot, and they will be ale to use most items. (unless the are hero specific) each shop will have about 10 purchasables, of which about 7 will be unique items, and 3 will be mercenaries. This is to be updated. |

Hey, what's going on. I've been looking at all the past stuff you've been doing, including the previous thread on all the custom spells, and the map does look like it's gonna be cool. I personally am trying to work on a campaign, but if you need any help, I'd be more than happy to make some items or what not. |

Hey Erwtie!!! That sounds like a really nice project... but there seems to be one flaw. All heros can be countered by another hero(good thing) If you are against a hero... you will have extreme trouble countering it(bad thing). I would like to be in the beta test... but alas... I have not contributed anything... and I live in the US. icbm1987 |

It all depends on hero choice... Like if the Maiev team gets the summoners... and then Illidan's team neglects to get the guys with dispell. It happens in TOB all the time... if you don't have Jimmy... It's extremely hard to counter jean... and in old school Dota... without the Purity's disciple... you will have an extremely hard time countering hordes of skellies... does that make sense? icbm1987 |
