I've been very busy working on my best map ever and I thought now would be good time to tell everyone about it.

My newest creation is called the Great City War and it's a AOS type map.
Choos a hero and go to war with the myriad of units in this decimated city. Take control of strategic points fo a tactical edge over your oponents.
Features :
•Complete new Heroes
•Jass enhanced abilities
•Control Points for special abilities
•Large scale city to wage war in.

If you have an idea for an extra feature for this map, please post it so that I can insert it into my map. Any type of feedback will be apreciated

Here are some of the heroes from my map that have been finished.
Battle Mage: A spellcaster hero adept at using magic to destroy other spellcasters.
Captain: A melee hero adept at influencing and helping friendly units.
Vampire: A melee hero adept at raising the dead and using enemies life for himself.
Kensai: An agile hero adept at moving through healing friendly units and doing lots of damage in a short time.
Strata Mage: A spellcaster hero skilled in disrupting enemies with his spells to the benefit of his allies.
Thief: A ranged hero with the ability to steal from enemies and helping friendly ranged units.

Some of the AoS units could be vehicles. E.g., 3 soldiers, an AT soldier, a sniper, and a tank could be one of the "swarms" of units sent.

I just want to clarify something about my map.
This map isn't a real AOS map but a mixture of a hero arena with controlable armies to fight with your hero.

I don't know wether this is why I haven't received a lot of feedback or what but I still urge you to please post ideas here.

The first three heroes have finally been added to the map.They are the Captain, a melee hero that can take quite a beating while still commanding your forces.
Strata Mage, a ranged spellcaster specializing in using unknown energies for his spells.
Dreadlord, a undead melee hero adept at destroying entire armies.

Sounds interesting! You wouldnt mind if I did the ciney's would ya?

And are there models?

This map is solely intended for multiplayer and I don't think it needs cinematics. As for the models, yes it does contain some custom models.

I have a suggestion:

I have found that the reason I don't like AOS maps much is because they are rather slow paced and the heros don't seem to matter much. I would suggest making MANY upgrades that have visible effect to make the game more interesting.

I would also suggest rather dramatic abilities by the heros to make them matter more- mass polymorph would be awesome as an ultimate

Also, so that new people have fun playing, please let them somehow read something about each hero before choosing. Instead of saying something obscure like 'spellcaster specializing in using unknown energies for his spells', I find it much more helpful to say 'A ranged unit with abilities specializing in splash damage' or 'A melee unit specialized in killing one unit at a time quickly. Rather slow.'

It would also be awesome if you used some custom effects like the ones you talked about in your tutorial.

Thanks Mheal for the info. I'll be sure to look into it. The development was rather slow the past few months because of school and everything but now I will finish it.
