This is a really, Nice map,
I enjoyed defending the castle with all computers,
but, some things I didn't like. How come the AI was so dumb? It disturbed me as they really didn't help much.
The Dragon once got stuck on the ground, it went to ground form, and stood there stuck on a cliff, being bombarded by a catapult.
Great Map!
Keep Up the Awesome Work!

the ai was really dumb but betteer then without ai.
i didn´t seen any bugs

Keep up the good work

This WarcraftIII mod is very good, too. I like castle defense, but i think there should be a little bit more buyable items!
To kill the Orc boss in order to win is very good idea, but i think that you can add more quests for example rescue the knights(neutral) and if you had rescue them they will help you to defeat the orcs!

I really looked forward to this map, after downloading it; I couldn't play it for a while because I was busy with other things. But, it seems that I was slightly let down when it came to the hilt.

The game began and my eyes begun to bleed. Please, re-write the loading screen and use some good English, or get somebody to help you. Anyway, the hero selection system was fun to use, compared to some generic 'STAND HERE FOR ME' styled selectors.

After finally getting into the action, I loved the first part. Although the whole 'A DRAGON IS ATTACKING!' thing is widely overused, you managed to pull it off with style. The showdown/s that you have are classics. And the enemy AI was quite cool too. I especially liked the way they built ladders to scale the walls, and how the battering ram attacked. But I didn't really understand how/why the drawbridge suddenly falls, maybe a explanation why it comes down is needed?

However, that's practically it for the things I did like. After the dragon was defeated and the dragon told us to move on things fell downhill. There was no real story linking us to why we had to move on -- as with most of the game -- other than 'someone told us too'. Which swiftly moves me onto my next point; why on earth are we fighting anyway? Oh yeah, some Orcs attacked. Like we haven't seen that one before. Spice it up a bit, yeah?

Then on top of that, there is masses and masses of unused land on the map. The Pitlord's base is minuscule compared to everything else, and he was such a push over. The ending really, really spoils the game.

But, we can't all be perfect and I guess this game's only in the beginning of it's development, so it gets the thumbs up from me. Please try to improve the map, though.

2/5 - I thought about my final rating for a while, the defenses playability alone got you 2, if only the rest hadn't been as it is. If the rest of the map was as good as the beginning, you would've got a high 3, or a medium 4.

At first i didn't want to make story, only fast and large castle defence.
the story parts apeared after i added some issues as dragon or catapulting orcs on the tower...
Maybe too much story telling will ruin map playability.

Drawbridge is lowered when nearby lever is destroyed.
Lever is usualy destroyed by orc assasin (which is invisible while moving)
because other units don't manage to get the lever.

Invisible assasins can be spotted by rangers (Which you can buy near the starting position) because they have true sight.

i love the dragon
maybe you can add some more stuff

Gipfel · 05-14-2008, 08:48 PM

the computer ai is better then in previous versions but i can´t find these reinforcement quests.

Tranquil · 05-16-2008, 02:22 PM

Reinforcement quest is triggered when east gate is destroyed.

Fun map, but when I play with other people, they crash when they are killed. :(

Tranquil · 05-19-2008, 06:08 PM

I will se to fix it. What exactly is the problem.

Hero17 · 05-19-2008, 11:22 PM

I just see people dieing and when they are about to revive their game crashes and their hero sits at spawn the rest of the game. I think it has something to do with the spawning because people are still responding until their hero spawns. I haven't come close to beating this yet because after three people die, its hard to keep king alive.
