Features



This game is a Mini Game/Hero Area. The matter is simple you have to be the last Orc standing. In that game players will fight multiple time in some arenas, the host will choose the size of each battle field. The last player alive will get 1 victory point. The player that have the biggest amount of victory points when the players stop playing won the game.
Each battle field have to be started with command lines (See command section below) and last 2 minutes. The time remaining of the battle field is shown on the game clock.
A game last all the night, if multiple players are alive at the end everyone dies. And no-one get a victory point.

Little Tip: I advise players to start battle fields on bigger maps that the number of players playing in game. A bigger map has more tents and more place to hide.

Commands :

There is a few commands in this map :
-start XX: where XX is the size of the battlefield where you will play.
-start #XXX: where XX is the id of the battlefield where you will play.
-start rd: to play on a complete random battlefield.

Invisibility :

Every player start with the same unit a permanent invisible Critical Master.
The principal ability of that unit is to be invisible over the time as long as the unit can pay 7 manapoints/s. If he has not enough mana, the invisibility breaks.
The permanent invisibility does not allow you to pass through other units, so be careful, a player can know where you are, if you blocks him.

When your unit walks, it has 15% chance each step to produce a dust mark that will reveal your current position to nearby enemies. The effect is visible only 0.6 second.

Spells :
Every Critical Master have the same spellpack.
The manacost don't block you from casting a spell. But be carefult to still have enough mana to keep your invisibility after the cast.
Furthermore some spells breaks your invisibility for a short duration. So you can be a easy prey for other players.

Kills :

When a player is killed, it can't play on the battle field anymore. It has to wait the next battle field. In the top right of the game screen, you can see your score,
your kills and your deaths.


Food :

It is the only ressource found on the battle field. It is really important cause it is the only way to restore your mana. Theses are items stocked into your equipment panel.
If your equipment is full and the meat is not stackable, then it will fall on the ground at your location. Be careful it's an easy way for your opponents to know your current position.
There are several pieces of meat you can find on a battle field. Each of them has different statistics.

It's a nice map, generally, the concept isn't new, there are quite some like it with more dynamics. It seems a bit annoying, the way you choose the arenas depending on the size but the size isn't all arenas are about, it's the way the huts are...

It seems a bit annoying, the way you choose the arenas depending on the size but the size isn't all arenas are about, it's the way the huts are distributed too.

I think the map could make use of more stuff like heroes/abilities and game modes. Regardless, it's nice to kill some time with it.

Approved.

  • 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.

Hello thanks you for your review

It's a minigame so, yeah the game mechanics are quite simple. It's a killing time game but that needs time to be mastered and needs to be really focused in game. I think, this can be really competitive. I thought it and created it like that.

The number of huth in each arena change really the dificulty of the game. Cause enemies will have less spots to chase you. Like predators waiting their preys near water spots in the jungle ;)

To me the real originality of the map is with the invisibility. In traditional maps if you want to hit invisible units, you need to be lucky or detect them. In that game you don't necessary, cause your actions sometimes will betray your presence (you can produce a cloud of dust by walking). And luck is too dangerous cause it can reveal you... And it's a high risk to be killed instantly.

So in that game you have to move and do actions but only the minimum to stay hidden. It's a pretty hard balance to do I think.
For that reason I said it is simple but quite hard to master and really intense, in-game. Cause you have a lot of stuff to check.

It has be played with other players to see the real potential of the map.

If you have other map to suggest me, for new ideas, you can send me the links, I'm really open minded.

Btw thank you a lot for your precious feedback, I will think about improvements.
