Map is really interesting for play.
You will see some cool and unique things for sure.

 

[Eldubs]

The description is not very good but passes the rules.

 

[Tleno]

Yes but you should like immprove the description, it's actually not enough to be aproved since you didn't said anyhting about the gameplay. Like telling us more practical information about gameplay. Also you can add screenshots, and you must add changelog on what you changed on update and credits to those people that helped you or whom resouce you used.
The map seems kinda small. Hope gameplay is good enough...

This description has everything you need to know about the map. Altho i dont know about the credits, didnt play the map. So i am voting for approval and il check the map maybe later.

 

[Tleno]

Still not enough information. Now it'squite simple. Too simple.

 

[Eldubs]

As i still want to point out, the description is extremely lacking. But it tells you what to do. Thats all that matters.

 

[ironman47]

I couldn't find a good title for my work.
This is i think the first map i will submit.

This information shouldn't be in the map desciption. Althought you could put something similar under map history if you would elaborate on this more.

You should list every possible detail you can think of about the map like info about the heros, amount of items, stores, abilitys/spells, gameplay info, etc. And you may find the bbcodes listed at the bottom of the page useful for changing the color of the text or hiding things like screenshots. Look at other good maps to get an idea of what a good description looks like.

And welcome to the Hive Noob

Those names are fairly same, see the first word Nat

I see, but I can steal a map and make a Hive account with a similar name too.
I am not saying he stole it but he needs proof, if I remember the rules correctly.

 

[Eldubs]

I see your a new user to thw and you got only 6 posts and no rep. For starters il hand 1 rep you you

And i just want to ask, what do you seek in thw?

 

[light bolt30]

Judging from the preview and the description, the map doesn't seem well made. You should elaborate more on the description; add some screenshots, tell us how many different type of creeps their are, heroes, items, etc. Here's a list of BB Codes to help you. Take a look at the other maps on the Hive, try to keep up with their standards.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Use some BB Codes. Add some screenshots and make your description better.

 

[Eldubs]

Instead of editing the whole description, make a changelog.

 

[APproject]

Oh dear god, will you people stop crying out loud only because description do not contain any shiny colour? Seems like bigger part of you have nothing to suggest but to tell 'IMPROVE DESCRIPTION NOW! I WANT SOME BB CODES KK'. Description passes the rules as Eldubs said. It is just creator's choice, to present it in *shiny* way, or not. The purpose of description is not to look beautiful, but to contain useful information.

 

[natnat]

Sorry i'm still noob to this, don't know how to put some Images and a good changelog design like what i saw on other map threads.

 

[ironman47]

Your map description is getting better

You should move the changelog to the bottom and the description at the top.

As far as screenshots you can upload them to your album on your profile page and add link in your description using tags. Don't forget to use [HIDDEN] tags so they don't make the page huge!
These tags are part of the [URL="http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/misc.php?do=bbcode"]BB codes[/URL] most people use in they're map desciption, you can find the link at the bottom left of the page.

[natnat]

Ok, thanks, why can't i not upload my screenshots?, there in BMP or JPEG.

 

[Tleno]

JPG, JPEG and PNG should word. BMP won't.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Mispelled work tleno. You typed word. Unless im mistaken.

 

[ccbb1]

u all are crazy about descriptions of all the maps ....

 

[Magnet199]

^ i agree with ya
people almost ate me when i posted my map with no BB codes in description, and i think some REJECTED because no BB codes :S

map seems nice, gonna test

EDIT: OH MY GOD :O THE MAP IS GREAT 5/5
just add some command words to help people to choose modes or make it as a dialog button Keep it up

 

[-Kobas-]

All maps uploaded here must have 2 things shown in description:

Presentation
and
Credits (if there is need for them)

But, I don't care if people don't use BB Codes and so on, I just want to see map info and maybe some features that explain map, if I read description and know what map can offer and what to expect then I can accept it as useful, all else is unacceptable...

I agree with your view. We should go test this instead of asking for shiny descriptions; so I will construct a decent review of this after I test it.

 

[natnat]

Thanks for your comments people.
There i've put some BB codes sorry i got delayed.

Thanks for the rating Magnet199.

 

[-Kobas-]

Can you please fix icons for damage and armor types?
Also maybe you should add some colors to items description as well.

 

[natnat]

Ok i'll try to fix attack and armor types.

but is it really needed to add Colors to item description?

 

[-Kobas-]

Well for example recipe item name should use different color than simple one...

 

[Tleno]

Yes. Plus you can use it for different things too.

Like shall we say you can also separate items in such item categories:
-Common. ordinary items that are not hard to get.
-Unique. Some very powerful item that's one of it's kind.
-Quest/Special/ingridients.
-Consumeables. Potions and stuff...
-Recipes.

 

[Ssilhouette]

Simple and nice maps, always love it. Keep up the great job.
More players (harder of coz) and more hero choices would be better.

 

[Savarius]

I only came here because of the seemingly cute name you gave this little game

 

[XPQJ]

i love this map good work, but round 26 is way harder then the previous round and seems impossible xD

played it with my friends for like 4 hours 5/5 +rep vote for approval

However there is 1 suggestion, the items from the box thing can be dropped in side the arena and you can make a little stockpile, because the gate won't close until all players are in the arena.

 

[-Kobas-]

Map can be and must be improved even more, there are 2 many errors and things that wait to be fixed, but at same time there are 2 many cool and unique things that increase map quality.

All together = A little above acceptable
Good job dude, have a nice day

 

[natnat]

Thanks everyone
I will try to work on it soon, and fix bugs.

Our exams are coming and can't work on the map right now.
I'll see after 2-3 weeks.

 

[wulouis0511]

Some combinations of skills are interesting such as the Templar.
Shared money (10 each kill) is a good idea but most items are still not affordable in a team game.
Therefore, some item prices should be adjusted to affordable prices.

Here's the calculation.
There are about 900 mobs in this game, and the total money income by kill is about 27k.
If it's a solo game you will gain about 27k+900*10(share money) and more (increases with time. It took me 30 minutes to finish this game by whosyourdaddy which means +1800 for the time factor).

Every advanced item is about 15k or more. Few of them are about 4k.
That is, we can get about 6~8 items in a whole game.

Though the game is playable without gears, i'd like to see a better casual phase of the game play.
There are some ways to make game more casual. First make money increases by time scaled by difficulties. Second scale down the prices of items.

Also it'd be better if you add "low cost" , "high prices" description in recipes.

 

[natnat]

Those names are fairly same, see the first word Nat

Ok, sorry about that i usually use that name on playing.
So next version i'll change the author name to my Hiveworkshop account since this is the only place i registered. (For map modding and map stuffs XD)

 

[HOooDy]

Accepted by me !!!! ..

 

[natnat]

Tnx, but i would be glad for critisms and suggestions if i should continue more or stop.

wulouis
-ok i've checked that out. tnx

Kobas
-yea i found some errors. i'm trying to fix some now.
I see that if use the stone curse item. I could not buy stuffs from the Inner sheep and Inner Craftsman after turning back to normal and also from reincarnations skills.

XPQJ
-you think which is better? If i should allow the items from the box gate to stack inside the arena or not. I kinda didn't intend nor intend that.


By the way i'm trying to add something to the map that i wan't to extend the map size is there any way or apps i could use to do that or i'll just have to start all over and export what i can do.

 

[kingjia90]

I Love this map, but i dont like the "NO REVIVE" thing...
it forces me and my friends to rmk the game it's quite boring
can you replace it or add a triggger that u will revive at the begin of the new round when all heroes are moved to the HQ/base??
in this way, the death hero's penality is just no money and no exp. just make it a settable thing in the start,like the difficulty choice

 

[deepstrasz]

It's fun though there's a spot that can exploit the map in the west.

 

[Lake Bodom]

Very unusual and nice map. Soloed with Defiler to 26lvl/finished.
But too short, why:
-my very opinion: too "fat" stats, xxxxx dmg`s, hp`s of heroes/mobs.
-and because of that "fat`ness" makes any amount of xxx mobs just die in few sec.
Therefore: there is no need of tactic playing, to find better positioning etc, never bought a single potion, and afterall shorting the whole game.

Conclusion 4/5 in advance.

Very agreed.
