Mini-Mapping Contests: Farming

[Binsu]

I have two major words for you: Multiple Difficulties

You definitely improved the map a lot, and the skills are nice for a hero with a large army to manage. Save points are a lot more balanced. Tomes and rescues are actually kind of fun to achieve, but the rescued units make the game ridiculously easy (not to mention how powerful the hero gets after the first artifact is found).

If you don't want to go in and balance every little detail of the game, you can just add harder difficulties which increase the HP of enemies and maybe give them some global auras (one dummy unit with auras which range throughout the map) to strengthen them too.
I don't see anything

Thanks, game is not hard yet because necromancers and Arch necromancers doesnt have yet their skills. If they have they can revive creeps so fast that it will make the game a little harder. But maybe I'll plan of something more, thanks for the comment!

Sad to see you drop out, your map was looking promising.

Today I've finally made some progress on my map:
- New building/upgrading system, things like weather and spells affect building speed.
- Weather system that affects resources, terrain
- More spells for the player

I'll probably upload it later today.

 

[Amargaard]

Yo guys, I encountered some trigger problems and stopped working on my entry, but I guess I could just ask you how to fix it?
I want to start a cinematic when three picked units have been slain, but I can't get it work for some reason. Anyone willing to tell me what to do?

 

[UndeadImmortal]

I'll be leaving this contest, i dunno my determination suddenly went down.

Here's my progress anyway.

Funny Bunny ester egg hunt a default wc3 map comes with some nice carrot models and it is unprotected and you could use the eggs in the map for chook eggs

[GreeN!X]

[MasterTrainer]

All I finished was the terrain; I haven't had any time to make my triggers lol.

 

[Almia]

All I finished was the terrain; I haven't had any time to make my triggers lol.

You are lying bro,you said you have withdrawn XD

 

[MasterTrainer]

I have, because I never had time to finish my triggers.

I have no intention to join this again.

 

[Binsu]

Just some updates with my entry, changed tileset to Dalaran Ruins to better fit with a ruined castle terrain. Screenshots later will be shown!

 

[eubz]

yeah you can eubz, I haven't even really started mine too..

Too good to know this.

 

[rulerofiron99]

I'm going to have to cut down on features for mine, carpal tunnel is getting worse.

 

[Lordkoon]

Got to love how terms and time frames crush people's dreams and ideas.
Good luck to the few survivors.

 

[SA Dashie]

^ Make that a double.

 

[Binsu]

Well, Im still here... hehehe.... but my map from what I can see is bad.... XD

 

[MasterTrainer]

Don't say that. All maps are good.

 

[Binsu]

WiP #7 here! Here are some screenshots showing you the new achievments added, changed tileset to Dalaran Ruins, and the boss battle with the 3rd and 4th Boss, Sapphirion and Lich.

WiP# 7 Screenshots:

Feedbacks are appreciated!

 

[MasterTrainer]

Wow you made so much progress; good for you! I want to play it!

 

[Binsu]

Wow you made so much progress; good for you! I want to play it!

Thanks, I am really gonna finish it and to add more fun, maybe I'll add also a Quizmaster in the Safe Area of the Castle. By finishing it, grants lots of rewards and also you can finish a certain Achievement.

In the next WiP, I will be showing the last Boss, the Death Lord and of course with a different battle soundtrack.

Thanks for the support!

 

[Vinz]

I withdraw, I lost my determination and the result wasn't as good and simple as I expected. Complications multiply by the day. ):

[DSanhueza]

I have not touched the map since I posted this and I will work on it tonight so feedback please!

Keeper of Souls v1.1a

 

[eubz]

OK, here's my WIP. Please, give comments on everything.

Keeper of Souls v1.1a

Your buildings are scattered. The whole game starts immediately. I can't neither read spell tooltips nor get to know the units,upgrades,buildings scattered across the map.

The lost souls seem to wander directly into the main base (where the endless flames are) and I just positioned my hero there. Nothing was trained, nothing was upgraded... I only used the flame stomp and got 100 souls in a simple autoattacking matter.

No quest log, no credit list.

Too many fire,burning, flame light...etc effects on the map. It's enough to put glow and lava cracks and fire here and there at a few spots and not torment my pc with overused effects.


I did gather the souls once and I did notice the timer resets. Sooo ... what changes after each reset? Do I get something extra, do the enemy become stronger? A few low health footmen were hardly a challenge.

WiP #7

Definitely looks like you made a ton of progress on the overall map But boss dialogues seem a bit silly. Chronos seems to enjoy the word 'fools' a bit too much. I also don't think a huge bone dragon would be second-guessing himself saying 'I guess...'. Just minor things, but I feel that creatures like that should have a confident and commanding presence without even saying much. An example would be something as simple as a one-line catchphrase like the Butcher from the original Diablo game. "Ahh, fresh meat."

Honestly, I liked your older version better (or at least the first round of it). I get how the footmen are supposed to be like a trial round or something, but the first playable version gave a free round to set proper bases up without having to worry about constantly defending. It's hard enough collecting all the souls required as it is for people that haven't repeatedly played the game. Yes, challenging is good and all, but we still need time to ease into the game. After that, the difficulty should increase to footmen and then the original round 2 from your first version.

OK, here's my WIP. Please, give comments on everything.

The skill was a bit glitchy and caused me to aim toward areas there weren't any living destructibles because it targets dead destructibles as well. You have a lot of trigger leaks (mostly point locations that haven't been set as a variable/removed--you did say to comment on everything ).

I'm not sure why I'm finding keys just to sell them. Maybe a good replacement would be to dig for buried treasure at certain locations to find valuables or just plain and simple gold.

It's too convenient to buy other things than the storage house when resources are so scarce. It would be better to disable them until the storage house is built (sort of like a tech tree). I still couldn't buy the storage house without cheats even after doing everything properly (or so I thought?). I was 50 lumber shy of being able to buy it.

Chickens shouldn't be sold for resources due to being an infinite supply. I racked up tens of thousands of resources in only a couple minutes. I do like how chickens are stocked by using them by the storage, but there should be instructions for doing it as well as for the rest of the quests.

Quest updates worked fine but need to be more descriptive and specific. Terrain is alright for a map like this. I'm not sure what use stats or levels are for the hero, especially since nothing increases experience up to the egg part. And I also had absolutely no idea how to collect eggs, so I got stuck there.

 

[eubz]

Thanks for the comment. I still have so many things to do for the map. Some instructions maybe, and some other stuffs.

Thanks for the feedback. I will be changing the dialogues. =)

I also feel that dialogues for those two bosses sounds so silly. Thanks for feedback. You deserve some +4 REP, bro!

[Orcnet]

[Daffa]

Well 70% done with my entry, but net stuck :S

I can't open Hive via Lappy, Net is so

Spoiler

Anyway, I'll show mine tomorrow I guess...

 

[Amargaard]

Okay, here's the second WiP from me. I probably won't make it in time, but whatever, it's fun to work with the World Editor again
If the plot seems confusing, let me explain that it is based 100% on the now-dead Hive RP the Daily Peon. Also tried a single line of voice acting - planning to do it for the whole thing ^^

WiP 2 Screenshots

Ideas, constructive criticism, feedback and suggestions are all very welcome

 

[Vinz]

Wow! It's very simple yet it's amazing. +Rep

I didn't like how it's basically just an RPG fetch quest, but the theme, terrain and feel of it is good.

 

[Amargaard]

Thanks guys
I asked some to help me with triggers and others to help with voice acting. None did anything yet, but I just wanted to make sure.. that's considered cheating, right? Or can it be accepted if only they do not touch the map?

 

[GreeN!X]

Filing up the last floor with goods. All I need to do now is make some AI for the guards.

Hidden

Shortened and made everything much more simpler. But I think I won't make it in time. :V

 

[eubz]

This is might be my final submission.

A single player revamp of my original multiplayer fishing WIP.

A single player revamp of my original multiplayer fishing WIP.

This is the one who caught my eye for the rest of the contest entries! Even the Maps title is Amusing(see Final Fishing Fantasy)

 

[eubz]

Final Fishing Fantasy. That's great. You can't tell whether it's warcraft platform working.
