VGsatomi: Approved. Top-notch terrain, wide selection of heroes, an AoS map with a very "Dota" feel to it in that this map is almost a hero arena rather then an AoS map. The spawned mobs are nothing more then weak fodder.

Ash · May 30, 2008

I've seen this map a fair bit, but in all honesty I've never downloaded it. I guess you could say the name slightly put me off, I figured it'd be somewhat like the 'I R PRO GOTH LOL I SUMMON SATAN T OEAT YOUR SOUL' sorta thing, but I'm glad to say it's not like that.

However, what I did get was about 10 minutes of "WTF? NO SRSLY WTF". The game tells you nothing about what it is, I only know it's a AoS by the Resource Mod saying 'Yeah, its a AoS', and it was a pretty appalling example of one at that.

The items were placed with no order and the Level 2 shop is hidden by a 'Flame Thrower'. Oh, and while we're on the issue of 'annoying things', I feel the need to state that the balance is extremely retarded. A perfect example is when my level 2 'Wind Assassin' beaten a level 8 Fel Orc Blademaster thing.

I'd also would've liked to know that the map is nowhere near completion, yet with the description you've given me I'm surprised I know anything.

However, both sides creeps are balanced, and the map really scores points on the terrain, although I did blink into inescapable spots quite a few times.

The map isn't that bad, judging by the fact it's only beta, if that. However, the main issue is the various items and the hero balance which, I'm sure, will be picked up in later versions. But as the map stands, it is somewhat lacking.

2/5

DrazharLn · May 30, 2008

To the author: You need to add pathing blockers to stop people blinking into silly places. They reside in the doodads section [open up battletanks or something to see what I mean, the map is full of the things]

1-this is my first map, and english is my 3d language, i ddnt now what goths mean, now that i now i changed the map name into gotas.
2-i fixed the lvl2 shop position
3-a lvl 2 wind assassin killing a lvl 8 blademaster ... your playing with a NOOB!!
4-i added pathing blokers like Drazharln requested (thanks for your help)
5-2/5 that is just mean you cant judge a map from a 10min play with a noob
but thank you ASH for every ting but the 2/5

Ash · Jun 9, 2008

Author, you don't need to answer a critic

But seriously though, the 2/5 stands for 'lacking'. I usually give maps 3, I've never given a 5, and I've given around 4 1's.

Your map wasn't far off from a 3, it just needed touch ups.

I actually really liked this map I think it has great potential 4/5 it needs some work still but its great for a beta, by the way I have some heroes a made for a custom dota map but I haven't used them so they're just laying around collecting dust if u wont to check them out and see if u like them just ask (I already balanced them to fit a dota style game)

DrazharLn · Jun 21, 2008

Balanced heroes? Dota? What madness is this?
I'll test this in the morning probably... probably

Any Hero or item sugtion are welcomed in this map, so i be glade to check your heros and maybe they will join this map in later versions.

I dont like AoS maps but this is good XP

Joe-black-5 · Aug 5, 2008

Guys ive been working on this version (1.30) for some time (2 month) and i have created a unique hero (three in one) called the skeletal brothers, if any of you guys find that this hero is imbalanced or have problemes please tell me, i have worked very hard to create this new hero, thank you... and good luck

redscores · Aug 7, 2008

1. Don't like the terrain(I mean shrubs on SNOW?!).
2. Heroes are overall generic, beside a few too crazy ones.
3. Very weird heroes which are nearly unplayable. (holy infernal, SELF DESTRUCTION!? lol)

So i give you no rating at this moment.

1-the terrain is perfect, and you are right about the shrubs im making a few changes in the next patch :thumbs_up:

2-<overal generic> sorry i dont know what this word mean

3-you must hate hero defence maps because you hate dota a lot
sorry cant change one hero because one person hate it, some other may love the hero and others hate him more than you :sad:

4-thanks for posting and good luck hope you like other versions of the map

Solidiussnake23 · Aug 17, 2008

is there a website to check for a change log?

Joe-black-5 · Aug 17, 2008

Solidiussnake23 · Aug 17, 2008

Code Lyoko · Sep 16, 2008

FOUND A BUG!
I played your map for a while, and I used these modes: -ap and -test, when ap is on you can select from both side hero taverns and -test for select of all heroes, 1000000gold and all heroes instant lvl 25 (I bet you knew already but I just told.), I selected the Shadow hero, it died for a boss ( =( ) and the reviving timer started at the top right of the screen. But when I selected the same tavern where I picked Shadow hero, there was "Revive Shadow" Button and it costed 250gold, I bet this wasn't meant to be isn't it? You could revive hero alot time earlier than it should!

well for the modes i know it and it does not matter, cause its a test
and when a hero dies you can revive him, the more the level, the more the reviving cost, i think its 1400 not 250 but ill check it thx for reporting +rep

GOTAS stands for Guadians of the Ancient Status. it is a mod map of warcraft 3 the frozen throne that literally a alike map of the famous Defense of the Ancients map created by IceFrog, this project was seemingly done by Joe-black-5. Good work creating so many heroes and placing the base structure nicely, many suggestions

- Firstly, change all your items into "special" items, add interesting income system...
- Make your heroes' spells do something spell(Not just simply damage and summoning), do something much special
- Imagine, this map is a copy of dota, and people prefer playing dota, that will motivate you
Lastly, all the stuff you have done to this map is totally cool (4/5) that 1/5 should be on this topic, "How Are You Going To Make It Different From The Famous Defense Of The Ancients?" (HAYGTMTDFTFDOTA? question)

Joe-black-5 · Sep 23, 2008

well your right this is what im trying to do, creating special unique things, that make the map totaly different from dota, thx

Acutesharpness · Sep 24, 2008

Any major changes please pm me for a review I will like to

Acutesharpness · Oct 14, 2008

Its me again, how is it going, thanks for the rep last time, its enough

I am hoping that you are working this map day and night

Joe-black-5 · Oct 14, 2008

well yeah i found lots of bugs, there is a new hero and new items and balances
and im curley working on a new map called kodo land

Greenhorn · Nov 14, 2008

Great map, possibly the best map i have found on this site! 5/5
Hope you bring in more hero's soon though. The last taverns a bit empty.

Joe-black-5 · Nov 15, 2008

I have to say that is folse info dota aka defense of the anchents was made by some one else before iceFrog. IceFrog made it popular thats all

chenlimin · Nov 17, 2008

Awesome map, I can sometimes see it being hosted, but not as much as dota, maybe one day it will replace dota. Keep up the good work.
