btw, it's amazing how much you guys have been able to do and by playing this, i can see why blizz has such a hard time with balance here are a few things that i think need to be changed: - chaos are WAY too good at rushing, they build an alter, lava lake, and the barracks like building and they can produce an unbeatable rush because they don't have to build any farms and they can produce units from 2 buildings. - for the trolls, ensare is very powerfull. it can easily beat t1 armies (except for a strong chaos rush) if used well. - for the elves, it is very difficult to gather enough lumber fast enough becaue you are limited to only 3 lumber buildings. i don't see why there should be a limit. - the troll heros seem to be stronger than the other heroes in general - hero tooltips don't show the correct spells of he heroes - i don't know what it's called, but the chaos hero with the holy light like spell is horrible. the spell costs 175 mana to heal 400 health at level 1. the spell isn't practical until the spell is level 2 or 3 and you have the mana hope this helps EDIT: - this map also takes a very long time to load compared to normal melee maps and the game is also much more laggy than the regular warcraft. the lag is inconsistent; it happens in 0.5-2 second bursts every 5-20 seconds for me on a computer which would rarely lag at all. this lag also happens all the time, including the start where there are very few units in the game and whenever someone builds a hero. i wasn't sure if you were awair of this since modelers usually have good computers. - if your enemy choose the woodelves, you don't have to scout. simply look at all of the start locations for trees in odd locations and you will find him. - some towers are very strong (troll towers). the only reason i'm bringing this up is because i don't think that the trolls have a way to seige them out. |

Much of these issues are already known and will be addressed in the upcoming patch but to ansver some; Troll Heroes are indeed stronger than the other heroes because they focus more on fighting power than good abilities. Loading times is pretty hard to fix and requires a large amount of work to address, so I guess you have to live with it or lower your settings. Trolls have two siege units actually, Bomber and Siege Wagon, both instantly bought at the Snotling S-Mart. |

Chaos gets lumber to fast, they also got many Chaos Warriors at the beginning. Elves and Dwellers are the rushing teams, not Chaos. It should take some more time to create Chaos Warriros. Trolls are indeed very good at destroying buildings, They have Bombers and Siege Wagon. Dragon Golems have siege dammage and they shoot from distance. The Troll Divinity destroy a whole farm in one single blow. |
