Servant War v1.05

top.png

Idea and Gameplay
The aim of the game ist to destroy the enemy headquarters. Bring a Townhall of an enemy under 0 HP and he will become your servant and will join you in your team.
If the HP of your Townhall drop under 0, you will become a servant. Therefore you must make all other players your servants to win.

At the beginn of the game you have to choose one of five races and build the main building. Then you must construct a goldmine to get income and upgrade it.
For every upgrade you get additional 20 income every 20 seconds.
The game is simpe that means every race has only 1 building to train 3 different unit types and a special unit in late-game. Besides you can research AOE spells in the townhall to support your units. To defend the headquarter all folks are able to construct tower. Furthermore all goldmines have a defend spell which damage enemy units arround but every time a player uses this spell his income is reduced.

Very well done, however, there are a few bugs that you might want to look into. Namely, leaver don't get updated until someone else leave. The Goblin berserker special should also work on robogoblin.

Looks nice Needs a description though :(


tried it out

There are some serious imbalances in this

i.e Income maximum is different for each race this doesnt balance out well for the reasons

Dwarf is the strongest race because of the mortar spam fire circle spawns and just general op splash and has most max income

Goblins have a 10% to 1 hit ko ._. how is that balanced High income

Nature: Weak at everything but dryad spam pretty useless support race low income

Demon average, High max income

Orc: 0 Siege wepons cata are useless Average max income no real units which are good

So its pretty obvious on the balancing issues


Also rushing makes the game last 2 mins in a steamroll

Bramble is wrong...

i.e Income maximum is different for each race this doesnt balance out well for the reasons - No.

Dwarf is the strongest race because of the mortar spam fire circle spawns and just general op splash and has most max income -No, only one unbalance is the insta-units.

Goblins have a 10% to 1 hit ko ._. how is that balanced High income - seems fine to me

Nature: Weak at everything but dryad spam pretty useless support race low income
- I usually win with this race so I don't see your issue.

Demon average, High max income - Best income and units late game.

Orc: 0 Siege wepons cata are useless Average max income no real units which are good
- Catapults are extremely useful and combination of melee and ranged work, however their siege is for early game as a prevention to dwarfs.

So its pretty obvious on the balancing issues - No.

Income is increased for all races as they capture more people while demon already has the max income already.

Every race is able to win.

Any race has their specific "imba shit" - in all games we've played, we couldn't see any huge imbalance.

Anyway upgrading income is mostly useless in end-game.
The bounty for kills is very high to guarantee nice battles.

Some races are strong early game and some mid or end game.

This map is actually one of the top 50 maps on battle.net. At one point, servant wars were hosted every single day by users and clans. Good job friend, this is my favorite map. I host it very frequently until Mbot wasn't working for me.

5 Stars! And no I will not be a critic to one of my favorite maps.

If I may ask, I love hosting your map even to this date! All the old-timers including myself love this map and always remember it because of how unique it is!
Therefore my question is, any updates in the future?
Can we have access to the unprotected map of this version, so that at least I can continue editing it but giving great credit to you?
My YouTube is KOOKOONUT TV. I greatly appreciate this map, it is my most favorite of all maps!! Honesty respected :)
