Running Impact Beta 5 : Beast Woods
by Tempopopo

Style : Mini-Game
Size : 96*96
Suggested Player : 4-10 Runners

========CONTROL=========

Movement : Clicking Mouse
Z : Fire
I : Pit In / Pit Out

========SYSTEM=========

- Choose a runner from taverns ( 48 runners currently in this version ). All runners have different status and unique abilities.

- The Pit Zone turns all runners invulnerable. You can restore your hit point and mana by standing on the circle of power in your Pit. You cannot get into other player's Pit.

- Once you have exited the Pit Zone, you can use the ability " Pit In " anywhere on the map to teleport your runner to your pit, and use " Pit Out " to teleport back to where you were before using Pit In.

- The goal is to get to the finishing point as fast as you can. The 1st runner who gets to the goal will score 100 points. The 2nd gets 90 points. The 3rd gets 80 points, and so on...

- Once the 1st runner gets to the goal, he will be moved to the Pit Zone and there will be 3 minutes time limits for the remaining runners to complete the lap. If any runner doesn't finish the lap in time, he will be moved to the Pit Zone and scores only 10 points. The runner's owner who already completed the lap will have to wait until all runners finish the lap, or until this time limit ends.

- After the last runner complete that lap ( or after the time expires ) The Shop Zone will open for 90 seconds. Use your gold to purchase items that suits your runner. After 90 seconds the Shop Zone will be closed and all runners that are still in the zone will be moved to the front, and then the next lap begin at this point.

- After the last runner finish the 3rd lap, the runner who scores the most is the winner.

- The Red player can type -l4 or -l5 to change the number of laps to be played. This must be done before the starting time expires.

- See the Hints that pop out once in a while for tricks.

- See Quests for details and more instructions.

:: The reason why I really want you guys to test my map ::

This map was created in Thailand, my home country, where most wc3 players play only DotA. I know it's just like this in all server, but in Thaicybergames, Thailand's wc3 server is just something worse. You can find a non-DotA map only in a very deep private game, or 1 from 1000 game will be something else other than DotA.

And 75% of players in Thaicybergame server doesn't understand English well. They usually try to remember all Hotkeys and stuffs just for playing DotA well.

A LOT OF THEM EVEN THINK DOTA IS WC3!!! and have no idea that WC3 normal game exists!


So that is the point, even I try to put a HOW TO PLAY in the Quest or explain it to them by hint, they would never realize how to play the game. They don't notice that this is a racing game since their English is pretty bad ( 80% of players are still children ).

Once they started this map, they would realize that this is nothing alike DotA map, and leave.

" WTF "
" How to play? "
" this map sucks "

these are what I have seen in the chat message. They said these and left the game without even exitting the Pit Zone... They found their name on the Pit Zone and get in there without reason because they don't know where to go. They start firing to each other even it says on the screen that YOU ARE IN PIT ZONE. ALL RUNNER IS THIS ZONE ARE INVULNERABLE!


and yeah... I still don't know how good or bad my map is, since I have never get a good chance testing my map myself with a good fullhouse players.



So that is the reason why I really would like some of you guys to test out my map.

Feel free to give comments!

Thank you.

Erm, No need to give your life story we all understand the Dota-WC3 Issue ^^.

Fine, Nice map although, If you make the kobolds (or w/e the first creep zone is) targetable and not invulnerable, It could help some newbies out there.

Shadow melding Jungle stalker...? If I do pit in when they attack me it takes 5 seconds or so and this means I'm dead in that time.

Need more items for the shop zone.

Please fix the terrain!, Especially that demon-infested area (don't know name I tested this yesterday), They look horrible and out of place, Also more doodads needed and a little bit more tiles variation and Raise/Lower variation.

Overall 3.5/5 not bad, Keep up the good work.

Edit:

You should try and add an AI for this map, Since it probably won't be hosted full house on BNet, People can play it single player.
