thanks for playing, moontraveler!
Wow, the best AI? no kidding? thanks for ur praise! I shall quote ur comment n use it to promote my map at the map description there hahaha..

more insults from milionaire? then there will be full screen of messages from him, some of my frens already said the msg r too much lol

ya, i know the terain sucks, do u have any map with nice terrains? mayb i should learn from it heh..

u mean the timebomb abilities of Bomber King is it? i see. yeah, the AI love to cast that abilities, usually we easily get killed by that. perhaps in nex version i will include some items to "cure" it so that it wont explode.

to see the abilities, i still configue how to do that coz this map is diff from other map. (by clicking the hero, u have already chosen that hero), so there is no way to show the abilities like tat.. u got any ideas where to show it?

hope to get more feedback from u soon hehe.. hav a nice play!

sure can teach u some techniques, but u have to find it out by urself too.. which hero r u using?

hope to get more comments from u soon :P
ya i have tried to play with easy AI, its easier but still need techniques to kill them. I agree with MoonTraveler that this map's AI is the best!

I have tried few heroes so far, mostly thief side heroes like item collector, experience seeker, genome thief etc. their melee are quite low.. do u have any techniques of using these heroes?

thanks for ur compliment!

ok, i can give u some techniques here:

lets say u choose item collector, if ur enemy has bought few insane items, u can cast the item steal ability to steal its item, if the stealing is successful, u may use the advantage of the item stolen against the enemy. u can also summon item carrier and use it to cast "item twist" that can turn enemy's item into cheese. ofcoz the item carrier can be used to carry those dropped item at the ground if ur hero inventory is full. u can use the item carrier to buy item fom ur base and carry to u since its speed is very fast. by combining all these abilities, item collector can be a super good hero. if u dint use any of these abilities, item collector is just a stupid hero with low melee.

try to combine all the abilities inside the hero, and u will find out that can be easily used to kill enemy heroes hehe.. good luck!

One more thing, I think by default, you should stop those 3 merchants inside the jungle instead of making them moving from here to there, coz sometime its really hard to find them

Ok, I have checked it. Now I know how to play already. hehe! but I suggest that you should make those merchants static by default bcoz most ppl think that will be easier.

I'm looking at your map, so far the only thing I don't like is that some abilities appear (haven't tried yet) to be unbalanced, and that throughout this whole form you won't speak correct english. The name isn't even correct. Change it to Police Vs. Theives or something.

u mean u haven play the map? which abilities u think are not balanced? so far i have not yet receive comments on imbalance ability, maybe u can try it out 1st.. actually some abilities may look stronger but require lots of mana, and some abilities need to equip with items to make it stronger.

oh ya, english is not my native language. if there is anything u don understand, pls ask. maybe i should learn english frm u hehe.. ya i wish i could find a better name for this game.. so far still couldnt find it. i think its better if don put "police" and "thief" but the game basically involves these 2 parties.

I think your map is great. The AI is cool, but I think you need to get someone to redo all the text. (So that its better English)

However, the triggers are GUI, and leak quite a bit.
Please go here

so you can learn how to clean out your leaks.

Ok I played some more, I found that when your part of the thieves and you choose your hero, a demolisher attacks you. Move that so it doesn't attack you at the beginning.

Also the abilities for the hacker aren't very fun to use.

There should be one ability per hero that does damage to enemies.

More: The timebomb shouldn't work on heros. Its unstoppable.
