StoPCampinGn00b: The same goes with infernal fountains. Though, the terrain here is a tad bit better.

Set to await update/needs fix.

12th Dec 2014

Map approved. It essentially is the same map as infernal fountains with a different themed terrain.

Dude, remove the Hive promo videos from your description and re-size your images so they fit on the screen.

Sorry about the pics. I use Bandicam and it only takes high definition shots.

uh oh,i don't get the map.if it is a siege you should make it like a siege and..if its altered melee why only 1 players?
i think you should really work more on it...i mean the terrain and mostly the gameplay itself,mostly altered melees are not only 1 player support and like a remake of default wc3 race to a whole new one.for example see Wa666r and Sun Reaver's work...

Thank you.

Thanks! I will work on this map a lot more. I started by just changing the name and genera but there will be more improvements.

 

[MattNJ]

I updated the map story under map info. Enjoy!

What model, texture, and animation editor did Wa666r and Sun Reaver use? Are there any tutorials on youtube?

Add a closing [/hidden] tag to the pictures, it is broken.

 

[MattNJ]

I accidentally placed units for Player 1 Red while brainstorming my Ancient race but I resolved that and added the new race for Player 1.

Fixed it.

I don't know,you should ask it from them not me.

I have to disagree with Devin this. It is perfectly fine to have a map like this 1 player, siege or altered melee. But yeah, I'm sure you can find wa666r and sunreaver if you click on the members list tab.

 

[MattNJ]

V1.3 just has some general stat adjustments. I increased the power of defensive structures and lowered their requirements.

I didn't say that it cannot be made only for 1 player,just saying it isn't really fun with only 1 player support (anyways thats my opinion,it might be fun for others).You can't choose your own teams in 1 player support,lets just say you can't customize the game and no online support.

Siege is completely another thing.

 

[MattNJ]

I made this map an altered melee map. Now you can choose your own race.

 

[Devin]

Ok,that is alot better now that you can choose your own race,goodjob ^^

 

[MattNJ]

I fixed some unit stats and sounds in V5. The map is once again Altered Melee, I changed it in V4, but there are now fixed teams. Please tell me any things I need to improve so this map can be approved.

 

[kakuzu]

Very nice map, good work with it !

 

[MattNJ]

I edited the map description.

 

[MattNJ]

Played around with the noise brush a little bit.

 

[MattNJ]

Is this map ready to be approved, or does it need improvements?

 

[MattNJ]

Sorry about the computer AI in V6! In V7 I fixed the computer AI.

 

[MattNJ]

I added my custom AI array to this map in V10!

 

[MattNJ]

I added new terrain and tech-tree stats in this version.

 

[Wazzz]

why does the screenshots show things that can be accessible in any melee game with the exception of an ogre lord hero icon?
shouldn't they feature some of the new units being implemented in the screenshots?

I fixed this situation by adding gameplay screenshots with some custom Orc units. I also used the Ogre Lord.

 

[MattNJ]

I added more doodads, like rocks and buildings, to Four Castles V4.

 

[MattNJ]

I added flower doodads to the map.

 

[MattNJ]

I made some fixes to the objects, such as heroes and units, triggers (limiting hero training to 1 type per player for all races), and gameplay constants concerning Halls and Altars.

 

[MattNJ]

I fixed the Temple of Oceans/Altar of Kings issue by changing the requirement for the Temple of Oceans to the Altar of Tides.

 

[MattNJ]

I added custom heroes and custom units in V11.

 

[MattNJ]

I added two new Orc and Human races to this map! Enjoy!

 

[MattNJ]

I added a new custom Undead Burning Legion race! I also made some custom unit stat adjustments, such as changes for unit gold, lumber, and food costs.

 

[MattNJ]

I added new custom units and custom heroes in V16!

 

[MattNJ]

I decided to return the map from altered melee to melee for better game balance. I added new gold mines, neutral passive buildings, and creeps to the map. I also adjusted the gold mine amounts.
