Ash: Copy Pasta'd the reviews from the old version. Please use the update button.

Mini moderator Ash's comment: This map claims to be about necromancy and gaining 'the master necromancer crown'. It takes it's base from the Necromancers portrayed in modern video games and has a loading screen that states the title twice.

Although claiming to have a massive variety of spells, you only really end up using two of a small handful which, due to no mana regen, eventually renders you nothing more than target practice.

You're given no notice of revival, except that the icon in the top right shows up again, and this ends up in you, usually, getting killed again. On top of that, you always seem to spawn in the same area. GG to corpse campers then.

The map lacks HP and Mana regen, this means that you usually end up with low kill streaks and running out of mana before you can kill someone. If you manage to kill somebody then you spawn a skeleton from their corpse and go on a rampage.

This proves that, once again, there is no balance for the losing team. If someone gets fed by a newbie, then he'll have an army of Skeletons in no time. Speaking of models, this map boasts about having "Nice models", however there only seems to be around 2, possibly 3, different models. This being the main character and a few doodads. Hardly a massive variety there then. I'd also like to add that you leave no credits for the models, this needs to be sorted too.

It also boasts that it's a "fast , interesting and fun map", although the fast part only accounts for how quickly you die, interesting accounts only for whats you can do during the Mana Regen and fun for entertaining yourself through out the whole map because the entity itself provides none.

Then theres the advanced spells. We really have little to no clue how they work, except that F9 says you have to do a combination of spells, that're in latin, may I add, and, or at least I presume, you have to do them from the basic book. Because of the length of spells being as they are, you end up having to write them down to do them.

All in all, this map works. It's enough to get approved but not much more, theres obviously been effort put into this map, and don't take my reviews wrong as lots of people do; I'm not proclaiming this map is a failure. You just need to sort out the minor flaws and then the major flaws will follow.

2/5

Master Haosis' comment: Okay map is nice, but still man it doesnot have mana and hp regeneration and I die so fast. ANyway you put alot of effort into map. Man make next version more balanced !

Actually , if you have ever used dispel skill you would know , that skeletons aren't that powerful ;D And about models , there is a custom model for EVERY unit in the map

The fast part accounts for how quickly you can use your spells and spellbooks
Interesting - in further versions there will be more spells so you will never have same spellbooks again ;D
Fun - ever seen a map like this ? :/

The spells aren't long , even a 6 years old kid can use them

All in all , you just copy/pasted the old comments before even trying this , try the new version and you'll change ur mind ;D

I really liked this game. I found the advanced slow [can't remember what name you gave it], torture and blood for mana to be the most useful spells.
It was a fun little game, though more of the NPC 'bosses' would be nice. I mean more variation not more at once.

Got it ;D

Sounds.... Interesting. atlast again a mab for us necromancers! Time to raise the death once again!

Don't Necropost pl0x. I dont know if this counts on maps, but the last post was from a year ago.
