In times immemorial, this sect of elves bound themselves to the Phoenix Lord of Old in a desperate bid for survival. In exchange for their eternal service, they were granted mastery over fire and had their longevity replaced with eternal rebirth.

In contrast to the more ferocious night elves or the arrogant highborne, we have the audacious elves of the Order of the Eternal Flame. Millennium of service without the fear of true death and a longevity barely longer than a human's has led to a far more adventurous culture. Fanatically loyal and far more reckless with their experiments, this has led to a society bearing an amalgamation of tradition and the new. Their military consists of a varied mix of units. From the tried and true sword and shield of the Phoenix Guard to the creatures of living fire, supported by powerful mechanical constructs.

Caretaker Technology

The Order’s varied mechanical constructs' origins are speculated to predate the oldest of the elven civilizations. With the exception of building upgrades, all of the Order's structures are prefabricated and warped onto the battlefield, allowing them to do other tasks. It is the same technology that allows them to warp harvested lumber straight into their processing yards. The attempted reverse engineering of these constructs has led to the creation of the order’s most powerful weapons of war.

Pyromancy

These elves, like all elven-kind, have a natural affinity for the arcane; however, their pact with The Lord of Phoenix has bestowed upon them an extraordinary talent for fire. From the youngest child to the oldest elder, from the uninitiated to the grandest of masters, the art of pyromancy has infiltrated all parts of their society, from homes and streets lit by harmless firelights to influential positions in the court of pyromancy. However, pyromantic techniques have gained the most prominence in warfare, with almost all of their equipment imbued with fire enhancements or the use of fire spells allowing them to deal devastating areas of effect.

Phoenix Gates

The Phoenixes are creatures of rebirth, burned from life and rejected by death, and now, due to their pact, the elves have received this gift, allowing them to be reborn at their deaths. The Phoenix Gates were created through a combination of technology and many lifetimes of the Order's engineers. Using the caretaker’s warp technology and powerful pyromancer rituals allows The Order to create an anchor point for rebirthing warriors, allowing them to be reborn directly on the battlefield rather than in the Phoenix Lord’s realm.

Definitely a lot of improvements going on between your releases.
You have a lot of interesting concepts for the faction along with a nice custom melee map.
The faction has a cool theme going on and obviously has a lot of thought going into it. Overall, feels like a nice high quality race.
I particularly liked the idea of the Phoenix unit starting as an egg, but you can make some trigger magic to make it still have a rally point after reviving.
The extensive descriptions of your faction on the hive is also a great plus, I know those take a while to make.

I do, however, notice that you're a little too eager to release them. It does not seem like you bug test and polish them enough before release.
In just a few minutes I found a lot of little bugs, but with so many it accumulated into a bigger problem.

Some bugs:
  • Altar's model selection is bugged when its summoning or reviving heroes. You can only select it through box clicking.
  • Zealot uses male voice and male names for a female character.
  • Minstrel as well.
  • Illusions can also be revived through the Blessing of the Phoenix. Including Minstrel's Fooling Flame. So you get free units for nothing.
  • Pathfinder dwarf voice is very off-putting. Not sure if that was intentional.
  • Big bug with Pathfinders is that newly trained Pathfinders do not get improved Divulging Fire, only those already on the battlefield when researched.- Minstrel's Healing Song (reverse starfall) still has the same starfall effect. This is a long standing bug that reforged introduced and never fixed. You cant change the effect. I'd suggest going for a custom Tranquility.
  • Zealots Pheonix Beam stuns, cancelling channeling allies. Maybe base this ability off of Healing Wave instead or something.
  • Zealots Strike and Spiral both are hotkeyed to Q.
  • Sky Raider also uses Dwarf voicelines.
  • Sky Raider Drone Swarm can be used without Aggressors Deck upgrade.
  • Firebrand Cannon does not attack trees despite the tooltip stating otherwise.
  • Ignite Spirit has no visual effect.
  • The two casters get an buff icon for First Life with a picture of samwise.
  • Fire Keeper has hero glow.
  • Firehawk has no portrait.
  • Scorch Magic tooltip bugged. Cuts off at the forth effect.


  • Personal gripe but both the Minstrels and Zealots ults are plane boring. In Minstrel's case it Reincarnate but less useful because shes a ranged support hero.
  • All Zealots ability start with Phoenix - Personal gripe with the naming.

There's definitely more bugs. I just suggest you take your time and iron out the little things. And maybe add the 4th hero you want to add as I see in your future plan.
Also, take a look at your tooltip for the Ballistae here on the Hive.

Thank you for taking the time to review my race. I'll look into making these fixes when I get the chance. My eagerness to release them comes from the way I usually start a race. I'll get a burst of insperation and bust out about 70% of the work for it over 2 or 3 days, then pick at it over the course of a couple months till my motivation wears off.

Fire Keeper has hero glow.
The Zealot hero can choose the ultimate from level 1.
Abilities could be QWERTY hotkeyed.
Using the molten trail ability of the Phoenix crashed the map.

Other than that, it's a nice altered melee map.

Approved.

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.
