Warriors Of Ashenvale

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I am proud to announce that Need_O2 is a member of this map project.
He makes some cool changes to the map,I will reveal them later with screenies!
You will love them!

 

[Hawk07]

Sounds good to me! Well, you could categorize it under AoS style, you know like DotA. I think it will be good, but add more Heroes (I think 6-10 per team is ok, but make them patiently one by one trigger them well and try not making them like simple heroes each one like the other as in DotA). They have to be unique. More heroes means more choices! Wish you good luck!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Well,after giving map to Need_O2 he made lots of new things.

I will upload screenshots these days and give more information about the map.

Map is nearly finished finally!

 

[Hawk07]

Oh, I look forward to seeing this map complete !

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Finally uploaded some Screenshots!

 

[Hawk07]

Nice screenies. About the system with the multiboard, could you remove unused slots like in DotA. I don't know how, but I think this would make it much better.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I don't think it's needed that much,it's ok like this.When a player leaves his name is shown in Gray.

 

[Hawk07]

Ok then! In what percent is the map complete?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

There are some things still to do:


-6 more heroes to add.
-Add items.
-Finish different minor things.

NEWS

I have rebalanced creeps.
Finished the terrain except one area.
Started with items.

 

[Hawk07]

Hmm, it seems the map is going pretty well. So keep the good work up! I think you're almost done. Will there be recipes?

 

[Kwaliti]

Awesome work so far! I expect to see this map stable and complete

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

This map is going to be fun!Trust me.


You will have to use your abilities a lot,making it more fun!But I have to make lots of different creep camps and somehow make team battles happen more and faster.

Items don't focus too much on bonuses but on abilities.

Why so many people voted 1/10 for it?Does it seem so bad?

 

[Hawk07]

I believe it deserves a 8/10 if not a 9/10!!! I don't say 10/10 yet, cause I haven't seen your work complete. So far it seems nice, but I am not sure till it's ready.

P.S. Don't mind what you see in this poll. You should mind the map's rating, when uploaded more than this. Don't give it up now!!!

The terrain looks very cinematic and professional, and at the same time playable.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Thanks!Truth is I worked a lot,really a lot on it and I think it's the best thing the map will show,with gameplay.

I started creating items,the activateable ones and then on weapons.I will not add recipes because map is new and no one knows anything about it.

 

[Hawk07]

Good, recipes need too much time. Make them in next versions. Try not making overpowered items and try balancing the numbers of them. E.g. make 15 int based, 15 str based, 15 agi based, 10 for damage, 10 for armor, 10 for hp regeneration, 10 for mp regeneration, 10 for extra mana, 10 for extra life etc.
Make them about the same benefits with each other and same prices. Make them also need some specific level ( you could make items of level 10 or classification artifact need level 10,15 etc.) You may also add them to need specific stats or characters (but if you make them for specific characters every one must have a specific item)! Items can do many things. Make their abilities to level like Dagon in Dota. Make them enchantable by buing a scroll.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Thanks for your help and interest in the map Hawk.+rep

I might make items like you said,like requiring level or stat of hero,but I am not sure yet.

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, looking forward to playing it. If you need any help with this (I think you won't cause it's easy enough) tell me! I can help and I can suggest some items as well (maybe later I will post again)!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I started working on a new hero,the Shadow Druid.He is using some kind of black magic,and raises corrupted treants.But I dunno what spells this hero shall have.Anyone who has an idea??

Shadow Druid hm? Interesting.

UnitAbility: Autumn's Withering - A debuff that decreases attack damage and armor, and deals (#) damage over time.
HeroAbility1: Trail of Thorns - While this self-buff is active, the Shadow Druid leaves behind a thorny vine with each step taken. Enemies standing on it take damage and are briefly slowed.
HeroAbility2: Emerald Nightmares - Enemy targets in an area fall asleep for 5 seconds. During their sleep they each spawn a shadowy nightmare creature, which is under the control of the Shadow Druid.
HeroAbility3: Aura of Nature's Corruption - An Passive aura that has a (low/medium/high) chance every 5 seconds to convert a nearby tree into a Corrupted Treant. Corrupted Treants have Disease Cloud. Range: 900.
HeroAbility4: Dreamer's Madness - Self-Morph into a Demented Moonkin. The Moonkin has a passive ability called Moonfire Frenzy, which Moonfires nearby enemy units. (phoenix fire)
UltimateHeroAbility: Skewed Balance - Deals 50% of the Shadow Druid's lost percentage of HP in damage to a target unit, while draining 50% of the target's remaining HP and giving it to the Shadow Druid.

Posts like this give me a reason to slack while at work. <_<

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Hmm...sorry to tell but I didn't like any of these ideas.Maybe I will have him summon trees but like a normal spell no triggers,and this wouldn't ruin the map at all.But for his other 3 abilities I want something new and good.

No worries, I'll use those ideas for myself.
How would you like your abilities?

• Normal modifications of existing abilities, with different looks / stats / units involved?
• Trigger Lite Abilities, where abilities and simple triggers cooperate to create special abilities? (these are my personal favorite)
• SuperTrigger - JASS abilities, where a solid code creates amazing results?

Also, are you following the standard code of;

1 Buffing / Debuffing Spell
1 Direct Damage Spell
1 Other Spell
1 Passive / Autocast
1 Ultimate

..or aren't you bothered with that?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I think they will be made in GUI,because I dunno JASS.Need_O2 has amde all JASS triggers in the map and I thank him A LOT.

And also about auras and stuff.No,just 3 normal abilities and 1 ultimate.

Hmm, ok. So simple stuff, right? How about this then:

HeroAbility1 - Shadow Vortices - Releases three dark whirlwinds which roam about for 10 seconds, slowing enemy units and tossing random ones up into the air for a short duration. (Tornado, Summon Water Elemental)
HeroAbility2 - Rabid Insects - Swarms an enemy unit with carnivorous insects, which deal damage over time and decrease his chance to hit. (Shadow Strike, Crypt Fiend Missile graphic for debuff on arms, torso, head)
HeroAbility3 - Essence Syphon - Drains both mana and HP from a target enemy unit for 3 seconds. (Siphon Life)
UltimateHeroAbility - Shadow Ursine - Transforms the Shadow Druid into a dark bear-like creature. The Shadow Ursine can cast Roar and Shadow Walk. (Metamorphosis, Roar, Windwalk)

 

[Hawk07]

Waht about a chain of shadows, using the chain lightning spell and in some way to raise 1 illusion for each target hit. You know if it hits 5 targets it will raise 5 illusions of the Hero near them that will be as strong as the hero and last 15 seconds or more depending on the level. This may be good, but make it have some big cooldown. Or make a summon shadow spirit, where it will raise a great shadow treant (can be used as ulti like inferno)!!! I don't know if these ideas are any good, just suggesting!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Actually I don't want something based on Wc3's default abilities.

 

[GreyArchon]

Actually I don't want something based on Wc3's default abilities.

But you don't want JASS either.
I'm at a loss then. Good luck, regardless!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Oh,almost forgot can someone who is interested make a loading screen?

Also I need some people to test this map when finished on B.net.

 

[Mechmap]

I could probably test it when it's done, send me the map then.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

loading screen? hmm i could try, but i never made one before though
still i got a few tricks whit Photoshop

 

[Hawk07]

I am good with loading screens! Give me the image and tell me what you want on it and I can add almost anything. I also need to know if you want it high or low quality and if you want it to shw the names of the players like wc3 default screens! I can be of help on this and it will take me about a day or less to have it done! Just give me today or tomorrow, cause I need to do it in the weekend when I will have time! 9If youhave no image try www.imaginaryfs.com the site where dota got the new loading screen - I am not sure the address is correct check it out!)...

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Well...thanks Hawk!I will find one and post link.Also it would be better if the screen was high quality but not much size!

EDIT:It doesn't show me much pictures?Where is DotA's one?Nor a search button.

 

[Hawk07]

I don;t remember the site. Play dota and it says on the loading screen! I can make it high quality and it will take about 500KB or more!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Too much :/
Map is already 1600Mb or so.I want near 3000,I don't want it to lag.Anyway we'll see!I will go search some pics!

 

[N3M3$YZ]

I was thinking of a 9 but i saw the hero and what the name contains 'Akatsuki' and i gave you a 10.
Good Luck!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Thanks N3M3$YZ!


I found a nice picture!Check this out!

 

[N3M3$YZ]

Very cool the undead girl,but i think she wanted to rape the other undead. )

 

[NearbyHermit]

I give it a 10,because I like UchihaSasuke as a friend and I really see that this map will be great

 

[Hawk07]

Well, I need the image 1024x768! So try resizing it and if you like the result post it and I will make this for ya! Otherwise find something else. In low-quality it will take about 150KB most! It's your choice. Remember that it won't lag in-game! Only while loading. But if it is 1600KB it will take at least 45secs - 1 min to load, so it's better to use a high quality image to make it look nice! Still your choice!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Well....I don't agree with low quality.I prefer big.But how much size will it be?

Thanx NearbyHermit for comment!

 

[N3M3$YZ]

It doesnt matter just try to keep the map size playable for bnet.

 

[Hawk07]

Yeah, I agree with N3M3$YZ! I can make it as small as 400-500KB least. Try finding a good image and I will see what I can do! Low quality is not good for such a good map! If you choose an icon, do it quick! I have not got much time to work on it, so tell me when you'll have it so that I can organise my time! Cya!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I already posted the pic I want!Look up!

 

[Hawk07]

Well, I will try resizing, but it won't look very good! Ok, I will start working on it in about 30 mins. I don't know how long it may take, but I will try have it done soon (till today night)! Be patient! Anyway do you want anything in the loading screen, like Warrior of Ashenvale or so? I can add it as a title. Tell me soon!

EDIT: The loading screen is finished. At first it took up to 1.96 MB, but now it takes only 513KB! The zip package contains instructions. Hope you'll like it. Rep and credits appreciated! I have played with it a little in Adobe Photoshop, but I haven't made any noticeable changes, just tried to make it look good!

 

[NearbyHermit]

Do not worry,Im on your side

 

[Hawk07]

So UchihaSasuke.gr, what do you think of it? Tell me if you need anything. But soon please!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Oh,I dled it but forgot to check it!Will post soon if I remember it!

 

[Hawk07]

Ok, it is fairly good and I put a lot of effort on it! I can make some changes if you like, but don't expect me to do anything very soon! I have a project running right now and I am too busy! But for you, I can spare some time to help. So, check it out and tell me!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Looks nice!I thought that you would write ''Warriors Of Ashenvale'' or something like this but it is ok for now!

+rep!

EDIT:I already gave you today xD

 

[MoCo]

Nice work dude. I really like the idea of the rpg flavoured arena gameplay in an idyllic setting.
I haven't read all 14 sites of posts so far, so not sure if anyone else already asked, but what about adding AI?
I would also offer some help beta-testing.
