Age of Myths SE FINAL

An advanced AOS map that outstands in its features:

Why should you play this map?

Why should you play this map?
- Over 300 items to choose from, including sideshops and items to gain from hero kills.
- Game ending statistics, allowing you to see every kill/assist/death etc you made, as well
as getting your own RANK based on how you played.
- Advanced Ranking System, allowing you to set your rank manually with your
own color and style, as well as let the game decide to update your rank with
your nickname automatically as you get one.
- A REMATCH option; there is no need to restart the game all over again. If you have
enough players, you can just vote for a rematch through the menu or just finish the game
and the game will switch your sides (you will be dark if you were light and vice versa) within
a short duration of only 15 seconds. Not a balanced team for a rematch? Check the next feature.
- A REBALANCE option; players left? Got a 4v2? 5v3? A small command through -menu will allow
you to rebalance the teams, and a random player(s) will move to the other team, so that
3v5 will become 4v4, 5v2 will become 4v3, etc. No need to restart the game just because
of 1 or 2 leavers!
- Got some newbie players on your team, and the other team is stacked with professionals?
No problem! The new and improved Shuffle Teams command through -menu will
allow you to shuffle players among teams randomly, so that the game can even out!
- 6v6 Compatibility
- Custom Hero Experience system, allowing you to stay away from battle to get your items
without having alot of difference in the experience that your enemy gained.
It also allows 2 heroes at the same area to gain the same amount of experience
(more then 2 will result a split of XP among the rest of the allied heroes)
- Custom creep bounty system, allows you to have creep gold as long as you keep hitting them. This eliminates the last hit reward problem on most aos maps out there.
- Assistance System, allows you to still recieve a part of the gold from a hero kill if you assisted
the kill in any way.
- A comfortable command menu instead of the usual -commands, just type -menu for an enhanced
menu with many options.
- A wonderful looking terrain with 4 lanes to ambush your enemies with alot of free space to hide around.
- Advanced never seen before spells that will leave you with an open mouth; every spell has been designed carefully with the community members, and has been well scripted in jass, memory leak free. It is recommended that you will have an upgraded graphics card due to the intensity of the effects. Also bear in mind that the abilities are very complicated, you should read guides and
spell descriptions before using your spells so you can know what they do and how to use them
wisely. They aren't just click and go.
- Custom hero skins which were made specifically to the map, each hero with its own theme,
some skins were edited to fit the map (Credits are given through F9 and in opening screen)
- Custom models for spell effects made by me for the map
- Capture the flag system, allowing you to push lanes if you got your flag.
- Mercenary system; the mercenaries can aid you, if you show them the enemy's
flag, and you can also buy special unit deliveries from them, to blow up bridges,
and thus, alot of tactics are involved.

I played your game vile with friends and here is my results about the game:

Good sides:
+ Very, very nice spells, very effective, very cool, much better spells than in DOTA or in any game
+ Nice models you have used in this game, especially the "blood mage" or whatever
+ Nice dialog system (-menu) I mean.
+ Hero stats system was also nice, you have changed it and gave some colors
+ Terrain is very good, I liked the waterfalls in the middle
- Much of little features that will make the game even better

Bad sides:
- Way too much items in opinion, it makes me crazy to look the items... but of course if you have played it more than once you will get know the items
- Loading the game took 4 minutes, and one of my friend it took almost 10 minute
- "just another battle between good and evil"
- For the beginner this might be too much. Too much text example in spells and items that is why some guys get bored fast

Overall I give you 7(very good). The game is very well done. But why not example 8(Awesome!)? Because I'm bored to this kind of games where you control a hero and you just need to destroy other team's base and kill their heroes.

this map is outstanding and so are other ones that i have found Onslayght , Tides of Blood , the DotA Blizzard made (not the DotA Allstars ) .... the only reason i dont like on all of these maps is that their Protected and im really triing to learn how to make spells so i was wondering if you could make a trainer version of this map contaning only the spells cause it would be great . Im really trying to make my own custom spells but i find it very hard ..... pls hlp

As I mentioned in my other comment, I cannot release this unprotected since I don't want to find multiple versions of it on the net.

If you need help with a particular ability or spell, feel free to visit my forum and ask, I will kindly help you.

As for the bounty system, it's not that confusing, it's actually great because it prevents heroes from getting a last hit kill reward, and gives a chance to melees to gain equal amount of gold like anyone else.

I updated the map and added all the killing spree sounds, hope y'all dig it.

O.O the most lagy and impressive spells ^^ i dunno... the features are
1) the playable map size is to great.
2) the map self is relative too lagy (to many doodads SFX etc.)
3) to many "simple" items. there are 300 but they are not interesting. somekind they are not unique =) in dota almost any item is unique. how was allready sad it's TOO confusing at first time to know "what could i buy".
4) no AI == only MP other wise no goal.
5) my personal opinion you have wasted to much attention for FX (spell coolnes etc) and not of the gameplay.

anyway interesting map. so i wnat be a bad ass =) so i will rate it 10/10 =) but i am personal custom stuff freak xD you can check my TcX map if you want.

@Toadcop:
1) stop advertising for ur map which only gives d/c on MP!
2) it doesnt lagg, (get a new comp.)
3) the items arent simple, they are atuaclly quite good and u havent checked out the secret shops, or siege weapon thingies!
Its confusing in almost all maps on which items u should buy!
4) u dont need AI, its better with MP + u can change teams!
5) FX are cool, and he DID do much about thr gameplay, thats why its the best AoS, Dota is just target and kill!
6) Stop advertising ur map and stop being so freaking arrogant!

"1) stop advertising for ur map which only gives d/c on MP!" are you sure ? 1.01c works well <_<

ha lol dota>AoM =) cause it's made by more skilled guy aka IceFrog. it's a fact.
AoM don't have anything super unique. so allmost "just another AoS map"

the rest is unimmportrant

Lol. IceFrog's map doesn't show some awesome skills. He's not a good SFX-maker for sure, DotA just CAN'T be compared to AoM or DoE if we talk about this.

Some heroes in DotA are very nice, like the one using death knight model, but so many of them are dull and boring. In AoM all heroes are nice and got interesting skills, there are no boring heroes here.

AoM doesn't, not don't, have anything unique? That's not true. If we talk about creep pathing, the aim, items- yes, there's nothing revolutionary here. But no other map has so many additions like rebalance, shuffle, rematch, unique bounty system(LoE has one, but a bit different- I can't say if it's worse or better)... And heroes. That's the main thing in AoM- heroes so damn polished that I think I can say they are UNIQUE.

There are 2 reasons why I rate it with 9, not 10:

1) There are other, in my opinion- equal, AoS maps- DoE and LoE.
2) Bounty master- I hate this feature(with earning bounty instead of money and running to that guy). It just makes things more complicated and does nothing else except for annoying you. It's like an additional procedure- brings nothing new, no fun, just a thing you HAVE TO make. And it seemed to have lowered the amount of money earned.

He's not a good SFX-maker for sure => he's goal is to do what Dota can run smoothly allmost on any system... + he has fixed ALOT of weird+unique bugs ! just for this a great respect...

the rest yes =) i almost agree =) simple there are TOO MUCH AoSes =) at this kind of gameplay people must begin to change the gameplay a bit ;)

"The meaning with this map was to make a funny game which doesnt give any lagg!"

Lol LAGG depends on your RAM. I kinda laughed very loud when the message appeared when i tested it on my daddys pc. 256MB RAM. Haha it lagged like hell and you declare it doesnt?

My new pc with 2048 MB RAM doesnt lagg so yes it doesnt lagg on any NEW system but it does if you have a slow pc.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

It probably appeared after Vile ceased to make AoM WE to polish AoM SE(this one). Before those changes, AoM SE was VERY laggy. If you say it's laggy now, you don't know the meaning of lagginess ;)

I hate Dota, i hate seeing 5-12 of the same Dota´s on battlenet when im looking for a fun game. but age of myth on the other hand.. AoM is simply one of the most outstanding and great maps that i have ever experienced. It is one of those legends that should live on forever like Dark Deeds and Legacy Reborn (just sad nobody hosts them D: ) I can hardly even imagine the hard work of making the map, and the great feelings to have when it has become such a legend! Great work.

Two ratings only! Comeon people! Rate it as it deserve!
