Map Info

C.H.A.O.S. is a Custom Hero Aeon of Strife map. The base game features 3vs3vs3 moba gamplay. In "Last Team Standing", victory is achieved by defeating both enemy players. However, in "Sudden Death", victory is achieved by having the highest total building life when one of your enemies are defeated. Another key element is that Heroes can be customised to suite your gameplay preferences. See the section below for more details.

Features


Custom Heroes
Customise your hero by choosing the abilities you need to defeat your opponents. Ability choices are made during the course of the game, therefore, you can adapt to your enemies.

More Freedom
You are not limited to a single offensive, defensive, passive etc. ability. Choose as much spells from any type as you like. Regardless of your choices, your abilities will always use QWERTY hotkeys.

New Constraints
Each hero has a set of ability classes and can only choose abilities from those classes. Therefore, unlike in other custom hero maps, different heroes can have remarkably different choices.

Revamped Stats
Agility & Intelligence have been changed. Agility no longer gives armor, but now gives cooldown speed (multiplicative cooldown reduction) and intelligence gives percentage bonus spell damage.

Unique Item Passives
CHAOS features unique scripted item passives, such as turning incoming damage to damage over time, shooting shard of ice at enemies while standing still, evasion while moving etc.

Point Control
CHAOS features a series of capturable points which grant increased gold generation. Further, during nights, creeps do not spawn, but points give periodic experience. Therefore, the focus of objectives shift with the day/night cycle.

Interesting Boss Fights
Unlike in conventional mobas, the Roshan/Dragon equivalent in CHAOS comes with its own AI and abilities. Therefore, prepare for a very mobile boss with a series of very dangerous dodge-able abilities.

Screenshots
Here is a brief selection of screenshots featuring some of the terrain & general gamplay. Please submit suggestions for screenshots or actual screenshots in the thread below.

Capturing a neutral point

After a large strategic point has been captured, it is locked for 2 minutes and cannot be captured by enemies. The "secret shops" are also located here.

Restoration pickups spawn at the smaller controllable points. These points do not lock and provide significantly less gold and experience over time than the large points.

Getting my ass handed to my by the elder dragon. The elder dragon (located at the center), scales with levels and remains a significant challenge throughout the game. Killing the elder dragon grants "dragon eggs", which can either be sold for gold or used to summon a lesser dragon creep wave.

Just the creeps for the blue and green team.

Once the dragon reaches level 6, it can call down meteors. Do not engage without boots!

The Flaming Longsword an example of a weapon.

Using the disabled item, switches to that item, but disables the other sword.

A monster shrine - which summons neutral creeps

Using a new spell, "Duplicate" to duplicate the summon lightning elemental spell. This effectively distracts the creeps while gunning them down.

The elder dragon uses an priority based AI script, which evaluates distance, life, unit type & spell resistance to choose its foes. Therefore, it is not so easily distracted when a low life hero is nearby.

Development
Below is an general overview of the various parts of the map and their readiness before the map can exit its ALPHA stage.


Element
ProgressDescription

Heroes
85%The current pool of heroes provide a relatively wide selection of possible builds. With the exception of a rework for the Tauren and the Hero Tooltips, other aspects of the map require more immediate attention.

Abilities
65%The current pool of abilities is about the absolute minimum for the map to work. I'm planning on greatly expanding the ALL shop, which should give all the heroes some new options.

Gameplay
20%I'm considering whether 3vs3vs3 is really the right setup for the map. Further, I've recently made some changes to experience gains, which still isn't quite right. Lastly, I'm still not satisfied with the duration of games.

Terrain
0%There are quite a few problem areas in terms of balance. This was placed at 0%, since its quite likely that I'll redo the entire map soon (especially if the team setup changes)

Balance
5%A pessimistic assessment, but with the current range of mobas (dota,lol, maps on this site etc.) the map simply hasn't been tested on a respectable level when compared to alternatives.

Credits
85%There is still some missing references and I'm having trouble tracking down the creators of some of the very old resources in the map. Further, Credit still has to be given to artworks and jass systems.

AI
0.5%Won't be ready for a long time, but I've started. Might be included in updates a few months from now.






General Changes
Items can now be disassembled by dropping them in the same inventory slot. The previous upload incorrectly included an unfinished version of this system.
Disassembled components can be assembled by dropping one of the components of the recipe onto another.
Fixed -dis command (It appears that a previous bugfix with item recipes had some unexpected complications)
Fixed -gold command

Added a few testing commands to allow better single player testing. Type -test into chat to show the menu.
Fixed major bug with spawning of dragons
Day-Night cycle is now faster
Skillpoints on level 1 raised to 2
Max level cap reduced to 22 (from 23)
You can no longer repick after selecting a skill - this prevents abuse on certain skills which can't be deleveled.
Knockbacks should no longer knock people up cliffs
Knocking units into cliffs or deep water will stun enemies and end the knockback
Mana Cost of all active abilities raised by 15 on all levels - expect further increases to mana costs.
Changed visuals of your "Soul"-unit

Craf Potion reworked (and fixed)

Overgrowth - A new nature ultimate added.
Regeneration - fixed bug where it didn't scale with level
Snowbolt - Fixed bug which prevented empower from increasing the damage correctly
