Troll City

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is the first map that i submited to hive so i hope it's worth the time i put in it. It was mostly an experiment spot for my begginer triggering skills, but i think it is good enough to be posted here.

It's basically a 3 player map set in a troll "city". The creeps are mostly trolls, along with some others. Eventually players will encounter "bosses" that drop loot. Note that every creep can drop loot, though it's usually a 1% or so chance. All bosses have near them a treasure chest which contains some gold or lumber and a small chance to have a manual of health and a sturdy war axe.

The "city" has 4 levels, separated by gates though there are other ways to get into from a level to another, such as waygates:

- The 1st level is the starting point for one player and contains the following "bosses": Jungle Troll High Priest; The Black Widow; Ancient Hydra and Dark Troll High Priest
- The 2nd level is another starting point and contains the "boss" Corrupted Green Dragon. It is however in a central position between players.
- The 3rd level has another starting point and contains an arena with 3 bosses that drop less loot than other bosses. They are triggered by stepping on a foot switch. Their loot is not found on them, but in the treasure chests behind them. It also has another 3 bosses: 1 Dark Troll Warlord guarded by 2 Dark Troll High Priests, which will have to be fought togheter.
- The 4th level has no starting points but has plenty of bosses. Transportation here can be either on ground, or using waygates or boats. The bosses are: Waterlord, Windlord, Firelord, Jungle Troll High Priest, Jungle Troll Warlord and Forest Troll Ambassador. Near every elemental lord there is a ziggurat where players can hire troll element tamers, depending on the boss (for example, near the waterlord are 2 ziggurats from where you can hire Jungle Troll Water Tamers). If you take the boat you can reach a goblin area with an artifact shop, a zeppelin shop and waygates to the lower levels.

Thanks to Lord_T for the raptor rider model. You'll get a message ingame whenever you kill a raptor rider which says that.

So please tell me what you guys think and if there are any bugs or such. Though i'm pretty sure they're not.

I'm still working on the loading screen, so this is just a placeholder

Trololol.
Do you have to purchase an annoyance device to attach to incoming posts before they enter the E-tubes?

JOKING!
It doesnt really look like a melee map by just looking at the minimap image.

Melee maps are maps where only the terrain has been changed and all the rest is left untouched (no object/trigger changes).

Terrain:
the terrain is bad (bad pathing, abused blizzard cliffs, abused cinematic doodads - NEVER spam them like that again! In fact: never touch the cinematic doodads unless you REALLY need to!)

Balancing:
Completely imbalanced: the entire structure of the terrain is imbalanced, the creeps and their drops are imbalanced.

Objects/Triggering:
Both are really bad, the triggers contains memory leaks and are very inefficient and the objects which you changed are changed on such a basic level that it cannot be seen as real customization.
Please learn how the damage ( = bounty) formula works, it could greatly improve the objects you create.


This map seemed too random and is beyond the minimum quality requirements to get approved.
Please do not bother updating/multi-uploading, as the entire map is just 'wrong'.

Sorry for my harsh words, if you have anything left to say and/or disagree with me: please say so.
