Spoon's Horrible Map v4

Spoon's Horrible Map

You must complete 15 horrible tasks to find the great reward.
A bit like Are You A Retard?, if you remember that.
However, it is a lot more sinister and difficult.
Your tasks are spelled out to you, there are no tricks.
Individually they are easy, but the map is near impossible.
Oh and, on single player, it IS impossible, just to let you know.

UPDATE 1:
- Cleaner triggers & Leaks removed
- Moderately more interesting triggers
- Challenges made a little easier

UPDATE 2:
- A few more touch-ups to make the map nice
- A few challenges changed slightly
- Bug with Challenge 2 fixed

UPDATE 3:
- '-roll' command added
- Bug with Challenge 3 fixed
- Challenge 11 changed slightly

UPDATE 4:
- Bug with Challenge 2 fixed
- Made it possible to reduce a sacrifice
- Secret healing spot

Why to ask for special version when I can edit triggers :razz:

EDIT:

Pleas fix
Suggested Players:Any

Oh and, on single player, it IS impossible, just to let you know.
Can't be played in single player! Can't cast spell at enemy hero!
(And god, don't look at the triggering, it IS horrible)

Alot more fun then Are You A Retard? maps usually are...
I do think it's kinda horrible in the fact people have to sacrifice themselves in order for others to progress; you could've avoided that and still had team work by making the challenges promote team work...

For instance: The Illidan puzzle could be improved by making a switch BEHIND Illidan (Instead of a door) in which opened another door but closed that one and the other teammate would have to go through a maze or something to hit the switch to open that door again.

The fact that you have to sacrifice a player in order to progress makes a gap in a otherwise fun map (There's nothing fun about dying and going AFK while your team finishes the map, and they can be improved easily even if it'd take a little more work.)
TBH I believe every map should be playable without anyone dying... However doing so would require ALOT of skill.

I hope this helps you improve the map and good luck on future updates.
4/5

Really good map.I played this with my friends for hours, over and over and over again,it got more amusing every time xD.

But there is one little thing. Must a player die at the beginning? With the compansionship thing. And must it be the host? We tried a lot, but host was the one that died 99% of the times, even if noone used the item, everyone used the item, someone else got the most times used on, the host got the most times used on, only host didnt use etc.....even though i find the idea of someone must be sacrificed to move onward good(more interesting), i dislike the beginning part, where, i assume, a person just dies randomly, mainly the host.

Still i would give 5/5, if i could rate maps. Good job ;).

Well yeah,we could pair up, but its kinda difficult with many people, specialy people who havent played before and deciding who should cast on who.

Maybe you could make it effect only 1 person (others cant cast on the person on who it has already been casted) or make a text appear like "The person has bond his soul with that person"(tho i dont think it would make a difference, bcause u can see when someone casts it).

Anyway ill try it again today and see if we can make it whitout any deaths ;).

Ok we tried today again. 4 people, made 2 pair and used on each other(1 <--> 2 , 3 <--> 4).Result: Host died. We even tried 1-->2-->3-->4-->1 and then another player died, not host.Later we tried randomly and noone died....i got 2 times used on and something more, pure random.

Wai nou kenn single pleyer waz complite :( (broken english ftw ^^)

*cough*

Why can't you complete it in single player? I was gonna try it, but now that you said IT IS impossible, I won't :p
It should be NEAR IMPOSSIBLE but still, a slim chance is slim

This map is so fun. The only problem I face is host dies most of the time at 2nd challenge though I have used the item and also been given. How does this 2nd challenge work?

My Warcraft is patched as v1.23, when I click on some maps the only thing I see is the name, in-editor name, description and map preview but the teams and player slots I cannot see. Is something wrong with my version cuz the same thing happened to me while I was trying to run Azeroth Grand Prix in unpatched TFT?

DEAD FiSH,
Delete the old file from your maps folder.
Then redownload.
Move it where you want it, and then rename the filename.
To something like: 'spoonsmap'. It has to be short, but still you want to know what it is.
Try that.

It was the version that was the problem, I have downloaded patch v1.24e and installed it.
Now all maps that did not worked run just fine!
Thank you all for help!!! :)
