Random Wars 5.4b

The Goal of this map is simple, elimiate your foes and reach 30 kills before anyone else.

The deal is how you make your way to earn your kills.

In this map you will start out as a completly randomly choosen unit, it can be a footman, centaur or even a dragon... anything!

The unit you get will be the only tool you will have to earn kills, so use it well.
If you happen to die dont worry you will only have to wait a short time and then you will respawn as another completly randomly choosen unit so its unlikley you will get the same unit twice.

There will also be others besides you and your opponents that tries to ruin your life by damaging you or taking your kills but there is good thing about them aswell, they drop ITEMS your unit can carry a maximum of 3 items and they will also heal and restore your mana if you kill them.

One last thing to remember before putting your great luck and killing skills at the big test is to pay attention to the Random Events, yes the random events they happen once in awhile and will either make your day a living hell or you will be given an better chance to finish of your enemies.

Jeez it worked fine for me everytime.

Btw this is a good map, but won't last too long: 30 kills?
When a player spawn with a ( powerful ) air unit, they always seek for a place ( over a bunch of trees for example ) where ground unit can't hit ( those melee ones or poor range ) then start killing the other ( which is helpless cause they can't attack air unit). Any idea to prevent that?

I think 30 kills is a nice limit not to long or to short so i dont think that will be changed any time soon. About the air unit thing.. well units that can fly has the positive side of doing things like that against melee units but what you can do if you happen to meet a flying unit while a melee ground unit yourself is to run out of range and lure him to open space so you can attack him if he just fly back to the trees just ignore him then and attack something else.
I have also balanced alittle so air units mostly have lesser hp that ground units of equal level :)

The game has serious balance issues but it's sort of fun to play.

I wouldn't play it again though probably..

There also seems to be a Desync?

3/5

I do know about the balance thing but since i will not make ALL units balanced it will always be that way. However, If for example one unit on level 5 is much better than another level 5 unit then you can report that to me. If the units level dont match dont even bother because thats meant to be. And also Elite units are usally better than other units on the same level. Report things like a level 8 can beat the crap out of a level 10 or something.

So I thought this map was excellent, I think 30 kills is about perfect but it might be nice to add the option for more later on. Once again, I had a great time playing this map.
5/5

Rated it 1/5 due to lack of description. Reading the map information still renders me oblivious as to what the map is about.

What?

Rated it 1/5 due to lack of description. Reading the map information still renders me oblivious as to what the map is about.

Are you rating my map so bad because you think the decription is bad?
If you have not even tried the map and still rate it the worst just because the description then thats no real rating because the rating is about how good the map is not about some description.

And by the way the first comment here tells you some details and what the map is about is pretty clear. It says "Random Unit Fighting" and "Become one of the 593 units" what do you think its about then?.. Well maybe everyone wont get what i mean so i will put more details into the description.

I rate what I experience. Thus far I've experienced that it says a new version is out, why would I download it based on just that?

Do you think the line "Random unit fighting" will give me a good overall understanding of your map? I am still clueless as to what it is about. Do you build your units? Do they level? Is it like Random TD where you get a random unit and have to defend against creeps? What's the objective of the game? How do you achieve it? Can you build items? Structures? Can you buy items? Can you get an income? Are there bosses to fight? How do you evolve? Can you switch units? Is it player versus creeps or player versus player?

Your description didn't give me an answer to one single of those questions, which means the map could basically be anything from Hero defense or Life of a Peasant to an RPG or Hero Arena or a Battleships map.

Why do I have to browse through the comments to even get the slightest clue as to what the map is about?

I'm sure you've put a lot of work into your map, which is appreciated. But in order for more people to experience it you should add a description that gives the map justice. Check for example The Chosen Ones 3.1a - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site for an example of a good description.

If you add a working description, I will be able to rate it based on other factors.

It is true that i dont have anthing more than "new version" under the details on this site but thats why i put up the comment because the first time i uploaded it here i forgot to write the details and have not bothered to put write anything there since i update the comment instead..

Why do you think that this can be so many different map types? THAT bad isnt my description really -_-
Well if you insist i will tell u more details..
In this map you simply start out as one totaly randomly choosen unit, in other words the level and kind is random.
You wont get anything more than just that one unit unless that unit can summon or build but dont worry after you die you will respawn as another randomly choosen unit.
To win the game is simple .. just reach 30 kills before anyone else (Player Kills)

If you combine this info and the first comment there is nothing more to tell about the map.. simply a Random Unit Deathmatch :)

this map is ok but next time plz make the place more interesting like
making the map more bigger

also if u can somehow make the units become hero like so we can lvl them up



this is still a good map 3/5.

Thx for the comment.. now to your suggestions...

Making the map any bigger is out of the question.. this map is ment to be arena-like i have even reduced the size before because it was to big...

Making so the units level is something that i wont do.. the units are units not heroes and i have already made a map where you are a creep and level as you kill but thats not and never will be on this map.

I do take suggestions from others seriosly but iam not easily manipulated if i do not desire so myself :)

With a working description, I've now rated the map 4/5. Its fun, an its good that you've added AI support (otherwise the map would have felt quite empty since people unfortunately kept leaving).

nice description, youve put efort in the terain and the random events are a good idea but i dont like the fact that the game is not about skill but about pure luck
example when i played the game for the furst time I was a gnoll and a super big dragon owned me, then I became a dragon and got 15kills and eventually I won because of the great boost
anyway i dont get what is the purpose of the bastard towers that only make bastard magics
and could you add a boss event and pls make more skills for the monster(the weak ones specialy because I think that they SHOULD have a chance with elite)
overall very original 4/5

Thx for the comments guys, i glad you like it.

As for the poster above me:
1. This map is ment to be very random and based mainly around luck, but that isnt all its also about using your given unit the right way. Use tactical moves even when you are weak to bring down stronger ones, like lure them into a bunch of neutrals/bastard towers.

2. The purpose of the Bastard Towers are quite clear, they dont hurt you much with its attack and it has low health but it has a huge arsenal of negative spells which makes them a huge pain in the ass. Thats their purpose :p.

3. I have created new abilites so almost every unit got atleast one skill they can use, before that many units didnt have any ability at all so give me a break it isnt easy :p

4. You may know it but the "Elite"-tag on a unit only shows that the unit is somewhat stronger than units on the same level nothing more nothing less :)

What ?? Use tactical moves ?? Ok then tell me at least one tactical move pro (oh right there arent any)and you cannot lure because no stupid player will go there and if you go near the tower it starts bufing you and all is lost even if your lvl 10

Sure there is tactical moves, maybe not for the very weak level 1-3 ones but for some that got like a slowing/stunning/snaring ability use that to kite the higher level unit. Also if you are a weak flyer you can easily avoid strong melee ground units by flying over trees and mountains. Computers are atleast dumb enough to just stand there and take hits if you are a flyer out of range. If you have no chance in dealing with the enemy unit you always try to do as much damage as possible and you can also try to get the neutrals to kill you when you have low health so the enemy dont get score for your death.

Sounds cool. Add screenshots to the description.

Rating based on description is legit because

1. It can be changed and
2. The description is supposed to tell you about the map. If the description sucks you presume the map to do the same.

In other words Paladia is correct (didn't bother to read page 2).

I don't think the description is all that great. It can be improved.
