Carosan's Crossing is a 1v1 or 2v2 altered version of Melee; introducing a mini-game like objective the players must contest to claim.


The gamemode features boss units that will spawn in the centre of the map. The team who scores the killing blow on this boss unit will be granted one of three 'favors of Carosan'. Obtaining the favor will hinder the opposing team, making it easier to push for the victory or get ahead of your opponent economically. Each time the boss unit respawns, their favor will be stronger.
After the third bonus has been claimed the final stage of the game will ensue, granting all units on the map Carosan's Calamity, increasing the speed of the game durastically.


Creep Density: Med-Low
Exploration: Low
Map Size: Very small
Main Goal: Use the Favors of Carosan to aid you in defeating your enemies

Note: There are no options for expansion, though the Gold and Lumber gather rates have been increased slightly, increasing the speed of the game


Estimated game time: 15-25 minutes


I hope some people try this and enjoy it! Let me know what you think of the game mode in the comments. :)

  1. It's a nice idea but right now too simple.
  2. The terrain design is quite claustrophobic and mostly pushes players to go through neutral camps before engaging the enemy players.
  3. You get favours but you don't know exactly what.
  4. Fighting the bosses gets you in trouble in that there's only one way in and out.

There are better concepts of the type:
Sands of Time [v1.9]
The Grand Citadel (Racial Issue 1.6)

Substandard.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.
