Legacy of Heroes
The Heroes

I would say it's generic AoS, but it has its uniques, for example heroes are original and some systems are completely new.

If you have any idea for item or hero feel free to post in Hero idea thread or Item idea thread.

I want to thank Archideas for helping me with this project. ​

Terrain preview:

​

 

[MortAr]

What's wrong with the name? (the download file)

 

[Furby]

Uploaded through URL from epicwar, I myself cannot upload it from PC, my internet won't allow for some reason.

If some mod could just rename it, or something.

EDIT: Fixed, link to the pastebin added to the top of first post.

 

[Lambdadelta]

Good

 

[Uberplayer.]

custom attack system
custom projectile system
custom buff system
custom aura system

That isn't very descriptive. Just saying "custom <insert word here> system" tells the user nothing. For example, custom aura system? You have custom auras? Good, I don't like the default Blizzard ones such as Unholy Aura.

awesome terrain
no wc3 cliffs
no wc3 trees
no wc3 water, but with water steps and water drops

You should not give this kind of comment about your terrain (at least without giving viewer examples). Is it yours? And by the way, something like eye-pleasing and ingenious terrain sounds more interesting. That statement about water I don't understand.

never-ever-made-before item system
1500+ lines of code for item system
basic items in four categories

Again, explain this system. Les horribles. We're not interesting in the count of lines of your codes. Many 'programmers' like me would think you're doing something wrong with having that many lines.

Good job.

 

[Viikuna]

Gotta agree. For players its important how it is played, not how it is coded, or made.

Here you are trying to market it for players. It would be another story, if you were for example requiting some noobs to do stuff for your map.


Anyways, I kinda like this project for some reason. Good luck with it.

 

[Furby]

I just didn't know what else could be there.

I'll try to change it. ^_^

 

[Mr.Goblin]

LLLLLLLLLLAWWL at SCARS!

honestly remove it.. it,s silly and stupid.

although, the rest looks cool good luck.










P.S = remove Scars or at least change his name and model for just a random lion

 

[Viikuna]

Whats wrong with Scar?

 

[Furby]

LLLLLLLLLLAWWL at SCARS!

honestly remove it.. it,s silly and stupid.

although, the rest looks cool good luck.

That hero wasn't my idea. It was my friend's idea. However he said if ppl will complain I can change him. (finally )

Will be soon changed.

And no freaking way I'm going to remove him, his spells were the most painful for me to make.

EDIT: Fixed map features info, is it better now?

I'm really sorry about that info before but I didn't know what else to add there.

 

[Viikuna]

Fuck it.

Do not remove him just because bunch of noobs are telling you to do it without any real arguments.

edit.

Just tell about the gameplay for fucks sake. So that people know whats going to happen and what can they expect when they start playing your map.

 

[Furby]

Well, that is true. However you must agree that it's little weird to have him in game. I personally don't care much if he looks like he does now.

PS: What about map features info, is it good now?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Fuck it.

Do not remove him just because bunch of noobs are telling you to do it without any real arguments.

First = flamming is stupid...

Second = Scar is a character in a childish Disney movie, the movie was great..yes! but it is not the place for a high-poly model in a warcraft3 game where every other characters have nothing to do about Lion King or any other disney movie....

And Allow me to quote myself..

P.S = remove Scars or at least change his name and model for just a random lion

this wont affect at all the gameplay and I also suggest you to use any other cat model found on this site or on wc3c.

[Furby]

Mr.Goblin really has a point.

 

[random.guy27]

Wow.
You're also here now Furby.
I hope more will know Legacy of Heroes

EDITED.

 

[Furby]

I hope more will know Legacy of Legends.

Jesus Christ.

I hoped the title is big enough.

 

[random.guy27]

Jesus Christ.

I hoped the title is big enough.

Oops. Sorry.
I'm thinking about many things today.
One is about the map, and the others are just my personal things.

 

[random.guy27]

Also, about the Map.
Don't you think that putting the bases Diagonally apart, than Horizontally apart, is better?

I know. I know. First Impression. It's DotA-like. But aren't other AoS Maps like that too, because of the more benefits you get from there?
(Diagonally apart. You know. Team 1's base is on the lower left, and the other Team's base is one the upper right)

There are many Pros you get from there like...
• More spaces/Better use of spaces
♣♣ You could add a Mid lane
♣♣ You could arrange things more neatly
♣♣ More Tactics
And more...

Don't worry about originality too much.
You already made many original things in the map (ie Bag System) so this won't harm. Actually, it will make the map better IMO.

 

[Furby]

Also, about the Map.
Don't you think that putting the bases Diagonally apart, than Horizontally apart, is better?

I was thinking about this a lot, before I started this map. I'm not like going to change the terrain, AGAIN!

• More spaces/Better use of spaces

I have a LOT of space now.

♣♣ You could add a Mid lane

I just removed it few version before. What would be the point adding it again.

♣♣ You could arrange things more neatly

Really? I find it good enough now.

No offense, but your ideas aren't very original. ^^

PS: Don't double post. ^____^

 

[random.guy27]

^ You forgot about the last part
"Don't worry about originality too much.
You already made many original things in the map (ie Bag System) so this won't harm. Actually, it will make the map better IMO."

I'm trying to understand that you want to make this make original when compared to other AoS Map. And you already did much regarding that part!
The Bag Systems, the changing of faction-creep model, the usage of the swamp terrain, the "Honors", and probably more.

But you still have to remember that Originality not the only thing. There is also balancing, and such.

Sorry, but I'm just suggesting what "I think" is best. "I think" meaning my thoughts/suggestion.
And sorry if I'm suggesting too much.
I know that I'm not good with the "Originality" part but I'm doing my best in the "Balancing" part.

 

[Furby]

I'd say this is not about originality much.

It's about that Archideas ( + Viikuna little) and I wasted a lot of time making this terrain and I'm not changing it anymore, if tons of people will start to complain, ok, but otherwise it will be as it is now.

Thanks for suggesting anyway.

__________________________________

Here's short video showing mechanic of the item system!

 

[Sheephunter]

I wana plauyyyy!

 

[Viikuna]

That item slot thingy looks purely awesome. Way better than playing with some repices.

Id just like to see moar potion items, such as:


Vampiric Potion

Gives a buff for a duration that incereses attack damage and gives you a life steal effect.

Peyote Potion

Gives a buff for a duration that incereases spell critical chance and mana regeneration.

Big Fat Mac

Makes you fat for a duration, incereasing hit points greatly, but also reduces your move speed a little.

or something like that. Potions would be damnably strong and helpm you with pushing, but could also be countered by either escaping and waiting till potion buff expires, or dispelling the buff with some spell/item. ( Or reducing its duration, or something. )

 

[Furby]

@Viikuna

Yes, I have planned a lot of potions to make.

Since I'm about to make professions.

So far I came up with four professions for heroes:

Enchanter - enhances hero abilities (his or his teammates)
- needs gems (or crystals or whatever)
- no idea where the gem should come from though

Constructor - builds mini towers, walls, barricades.. whatever
- needs rock (or lumber? or both??)
- randomly around map.. ?

Alchemist - makes potions
- needs herbs, plants?
- randomly around map.. ?

Combiner - combines, upgrades items
- needs recipes or something
- ewww.. not sure.. maybe creep drops?? ?

one hero can have only one profession
his profession will be spellbook
it can level up by using any ability from spellbook

This will add RPG style to the game and will require a WAY more team play.

So much hate on my Scar hero. At least he's a bit different, even if some people find him misplaced with the custom model. But I'm not a stubborn fool, if there's alot of requests to replace his model, I'm willing to do so. If anyone can provide a good substitute model, be my guest. But those models you linked are... I dunno... not very good, either.

Wow, this project sure has come a long way. ;D

I tested this map single-player with the Ranger hero, Shaira and decided to offer some feedback. My comments are mainly focused on the map's presentation.
I haven't tested this map thoroughly so I have not seen all the features this map has to offer.

The good

• Nice loading screen! It's interesting how you made the minimap icon become part of the background.
• Terrain is much nicer than anything that I could have made. =P
• Good job on implementing a bounty system nice as it encourages people to damage units and discourages kill stealing.
• It's good that the creeps get upgraded over time and not remain weak all the way through the battle.

The "bad"

• The game sometimes lags from time to time. There's also this annoying thing which seems to happen randomly: being unable to read the tooltips of heroes/spells and having the health bars get screwed up.
• The Rifleman's projectile doesn't look right since it's supposed to be instant. Maybe you should replace that unit with a High Elf Archer. This would actually make the battle seem more equal since bullets > spears/arrows.
• You could make the waves go like melee 1 (Footman/Grunt) vs magic (Sorceress/Shaman) and melee 2 (Swordsman/Tauren) vs ranged (Rifleman vs. Troll Headhunter) This brings me to my next suggestion: Make the second wave distinguished from the first wave. It's a bit boring that the only difference between the units is their model.
• Watch Tower's projectile goes to the head of units. The name is also unfitting for the projectiles it sends out. (Maybe call it Inferno Tower or something else?)
• Shock Attachment's tooltip has a small bug. (The sentence, "Right-Click to activate Auto-Casting" gets cut off. Perhaps the tooltip is too long?)
• Hunter's Pray? It says that in the hero description and the buff it gives. =P
• No victory? You should do something like "Game will end in X seconds" when a team has won or make all players on the winning team be able to quit the game with a victory.

Good luck with this!

Meh, I noticed recently this too, though I have no fucking idea why it happens.

• The Rifleman's projectile doesn't look right since it's supposed to be instant. Maybe you should replace that unit with a High Elf Archer. This would actually make the battle seem more equal since bullets > spears/arrows.

Will be replaced with an high elf archer.

• You could make the waves go like melee 1 (Footman/Grunt) vs magic (Sorceress/Shaman) and melee 2 (Swordsman/Tauren) vs ranged (Rifleman vs. Troll Headhunter) This brings me to my next suggestion: Make the second wave distinguished from the first wave. It's a bit boring that the only difference between the units is their model.

I plan something bigger for creep waves, something pretty much original. And don't worry the only difference won't be model then.

• Watch Tower's projectile goes to the head of units. The name is also unfitting for the projectiles it sends out. (Maybe call it Inferno Tower or something else?)

Yes, projectile system is little bugged, I'll take care of it later.
I'll be changing model of towers, I'm not sure if in the next version or later.

• Shock Attachment's tooltip has a small bug. (The sentence, "Right-Click to activate Auto-Casting" gets cut off. Perhaps the tooltip is too long?)

Yeah this will be fixed in next version.

• Hunter's Pray? It says that in the hero description and the buff it gives. =P

Will be fixed.

• No victory? You should do something like "Game will end in X seconds" when a team has won or make all players on the winning team be able to quit the game with a victory.

Same, fixed in next version.

Thank you for your wonderful review.
+REP!

For some reason, when I tried out the beta, I was very confused with the items... Other than that, it's a good AoS that has a lot potential.

EDIT: Now that I watched the video, I feel a lot better.

The whole bag system is a very unique idea, I'd say. Definitely one of the best features in this map.

That happens when applying cinematic filters. I'm using this method in a map I'm developing with RtC right now so you don't see any health bars.

edit/ Okay, I played it in Single Player mode.
The thing which I mentioned above seems to be true, you've got some filter running too long, although you don't see it.
The lag which sometimes occurs might have something to do with units dying, maybe some infinite loop or whatever.

The game itself seems to be pretty good, the terrain is fine and well-designed for a AoS-Style map(why did you choose Hero defense as mapstyle?) and the heros have some nice and innovative spells.

Keep it on, this definately has potential.

Too long? Just two filters for 0.12 seconds.
As far as I know there should no be any infinite loop but I should check.

lol? AoS = Hero Defense

It HAS to be because of the fade filters. Maybe 0.12 is too short, test the game without them and see that the bugs won't happen.

lol? AoS = Hero Defense

AoS = Aeon of Strife, Hero Defense means you've got a hero and have to defend together against some hordes of creeps. (And not fight into the enemy base and kill other players)

Well, problem is that I tested the map recently few times and it didn't happen.

Ok whatever, here, on EpicWar they have it like that.. http://epicwar.com/maps/upload/

Did you test the same version you uploaded? If not, it might be because you already fixed it somehow.

Ok whatever, here, on EpicWar they have it like that.. http://epicwar.com/maps/upload/

Okay, they define AoS as Hero Defense just to be alternative, one reason more to not like EpicWar. (Why not upload the map here on the Hive btw?)

 

[Hawk]

I notice in one of the heroes Frostbringer the 3rd ability i saw grammar mistake ememy it need to be enemy...Good map very good! +rep!!!!

I'll make some more tests.

I want the map to be ready before uploading on hive. =) Now it lacks a lot of functions I'm planning to implement.

Fixed! And thanks!

 

[Anachron]

Played it, not bad. But you really need more things to be in the map =)
Make buyable upgrades that you can active like for 2500 gold you get a new ability on your upgrade unit which can trigger +10 armor for all of your structures for 30 seconds every 10 minutes (Team cooldown).

Thanks for testing. I plan on releasing some larger update with pretty original team creeps spawning system.

That stuff you mentioned and many more will be there, but you know, I'm working on this map alone, so it's doesn't go light speed.

 

[Anachron]

I tested paladin, he was pretty neat, however, I don't like the +hp stuff for a limited amount of time. It's just simple and not really useful imho. (Since you still have the %tage of life when transforming back)

 

[Furby]

Yeah, that is on my TO-DO list, to rework. Thanks for mentioning.

EDIT: Added TO-DO list to the first post.

 

[Netherdrake]

I did a 2v2 private game on this. Apparently the murloc hero is rigged after getting him a lifesteal item and a couple agility and damage items. The trap takes forever to make and is a bit weak, though.

Other than that, it's a great game.

Hmm.. more people complain about the lifesteal, I will probably decrease the amount you can get from Mask of the Death.

The trap, I think I will increase stun time or damage, but I think casting time should stay as it is, maybe just 0.5 less.

Other than that, it's a great game.

Thanks.

The lifesteal is fine as it is, but I suggest balancing that Bloodlust to either less agility (1/2/3/4), or have a less max (4 from 5).

The trap, I think I will increase stun time or damage, but I think casting time should stay as it is, maybe just 0.5 less.

A second lesser is probably enough, but if I were you, I'd make the trap invisible when it is laid. Anyone can see that

Looks interesting and fun (lol at Scar ).

(lol at Scar ).

Well, enjoy him, because his model is changed in upcoming version.

 

[Anachron]

I think heroes with creep models at least should have hero glow.

They do.

Which one doesn't?

 

[Anachron]

In the heroes spoiler on the first page none of them have hero glow.

Oh, that's because those are ss' from WE.

 

[Netherdrake]

Found two bugs:

1. When you lock a bag and try to sell an item that's inside the bag, it will basically return to the bag and gives the gold. Basically spammed it and got end items and had fun. XD
2. If you are dead and you try to revive in the enemy base, you will revive once you are in the range. Even the Alliance base has a small spot that the tower doesn't attack and still gets free.

Also, I feel that the game gives too low experience. How about bumping it up?
