Introduction

... is a Hero Defense map (as you probably noticed already ) that requires
teamwork and some intellect. Hmm... you're probably wondering
- Why should I play your map? and my answer to that is:
because of it's unique Team Style Gameplay which you will
meet while playing. An example is the absence of autorevival system and
the adding of special Resurrecting abilities, which makes players depend one on another.

Combination of Fun & Difficulty is also an interesting aspect
of the map. Funny waves and abilities can be found, but harmonically linked to
a balanced difficulty.

Realistic Equipment, meaning that close-combat
heroes can only use close-combat weapons and only one armor e.t.c.

As the time passes playing, your character changes and gains improved
abilities, the so called Class Change.When you reach a certain level
you choose the class that suits you best and reset back to level one.

If you get bored, that means you've selected the wrong class/skills.
This map is basically a fast-paced Hero Defense that through the
correct selection of skills can be less intense. So You Can Choose
if you want to be jumpy all the time or sit back while your hero
does everything by himself. Of course, skills that require
the player's interaction are more effective than passive ones.

Systems

Hero XP System
XP Rate: ([Number of Players] x 20) + 40
Class 1: [XP Rate]
Class 2: [XP Rate]/ 4
Class 3: [XP Rate]/ 20
I did this system on my own.

Hero Replacement System
If you need details PM me.

Spawn System
I based my system on the Multiple Creep Spawn System tutorial and modified it
into a Simple Creep Spawn System. The tutorial reffered here is made by DoOs_101.

Item Customization System
When you buy an item with [Empty Slots] then you can customize your item with Orbs
and add attributes of your likeness. You can also add 2 Orbs (to the items that have at least 2 Emprty Slots) of the Same type to get an increased bonus for that attribute.
Got ideas from here and there but I basically did it on my own, seemed much simpler.


Items


Weapons
  • 6 Close-Combat (Swords, Axes, Blades, e.t.c.)
  • 6 Standard Bows (Ranged Weapon, for Archers)
  • 4 Customized Bows of the players' choice
  • 6 Magic (Stafs, Wands, e.t.c.)


Armors
  • 6 Standard Armors
  • 14 Customized Armors of the players' choice


Accessories
  • 5 Accessories (Boots, Medals, e.t.c.)


Misc
  • 4 Kinds of HP recovery Potions
  • 3 Kinds of MP recovery Potions
  • 2 Kinds of Illusions
  • Lumber
  • Antidotes
  • Stones
  • Dad's Soup
  • Escape





Game Tips

Within a team there should be at least one of each starting Class (Warrior, Archer, Mage) for best performance,
but becides that Warrior is the best Class and easiest to play. On the contrary, Mages are pretty hard to play
'cause of their almost none attack damage and "friendly-fire" spells, but all that hard work pays up in the end.

In this map you do NOT revive automatically, instead a grave is spawned at the point you died.
That grave points out a hope of resurrection either by a Healer, or by the Living Statue (Base Structure).

I made the map to be easier when playing with more players, so don't be so impatient!

ap0calypse: Approved

Fairly decent map: I like the upgrading-system, though some classes aren't finished yet.
The summoner seemed strange, since levelling up seriously doesn't matter at all, the terrain isn't good and I couldn't find the potion shop (which seemed necessary for the antidotes).

No comments about the description, apart from "well done!".
The map abides to all rules on the hive, it works in-game and, though not completely finished, it's perfectly playable.

This map is approved and works properly.

Nobody going to read the description if you wrote it that way, it would also encourage people not to download it. Separate it with paragraph and provide a ingame screenshot.

Thanks for the compliment! The "rez" shouldn't be there at all, I added it for help. If you are dieing at low levels you better go back to the base (Heal + Dmg + Armor).

Update: Added Screenshots!

You could try having a Defender in your team, that's actually anti-boss.
