Looks nice, will test it for sure!
Does it have item system to prevent carrying 3 helmets or 5 swords, u know what I mean? If it dosent it would be cool if it does.

 

[AsXurian]

Man, this AoS has the most heroes I have EVER seen in an AoS XD (I don't play DotA). This map is very good, I found a couple spelling errors in the hero descriptions. I have to question the default abilities and also, I like that you have the auto-random. I hate it when u gotta pick hero and then timer runs out and thats it.

The Errors I found are:

Undead Tavern-Pit Lord-> I think the skill said Deonic Pressure, did you mean Demonic?

Human Tavern-Sorceress-> Is she supposed to not have an ultimate?

I found that many of th heroes had default abiities in green. Are they balanced for the non-default ability heroes?

This part isn't an error, just a question. The Arch Mage, Why is his ultimate Teleport, how would that help?

Ideas: 5/5 --> I am a big fan of AoS style maps, though i usually go for the more themed ones like Naruto or Bleach. But I do like this AoS it looks/sounds/IS great.

Description 4.9/5 --> The only part i didn't like was a loading screen description. I know many people don't read them, but those who do read them probably know more than those that don't, even if the ones that read are newbs.

Terrain 5/5 --> I am judgeing this one lightly because I didn't look through the terrain as heavily as the tavern heroes and some of the items. It looks good, the top and bottom lanes I like because they don't connect and fight at a curve. I'm more of a person that likes to fight on straight ground because it can help level the playing field a bit.

Game Play 5/5 --> This AoS is great, its a bit more in-depth than other AoS style maps, I look foward to future versions to play with other people.

Total: 6/5 --> Keep up the Awsum Werk!!!!

Nice idea, thanks, I will think about it. =)

Wow, thanks man, I'm gladly you enjoyed the map so much.

The Errors I found are:

Undead Tavern-Pit Lord-> I think the skill said Deonic Pressure, did you mean Demonic?

Fixed.

Human Tavern-Sorceress-> Is she supposed to not have an ultimate?

Actualy she has 3 ultimates. The fourth spell in each spellbook is an ultimate, so Meteor, Thunder Storm and Frozen Orb are all ultimate spells.

I found that many of th heroes had default abiities in green. Are they balanced for the non-default ability heroes?

Sorry, I did not undertand what you mean. =(

This part isn't an error, just a question. The Arch Mage, Why is his ultimate Teleport, how would that help?

This ultimate has a low cooldown and high range, so he can easily cross the entire map in a matter of seconds and even teleport to the position of a hero and it's only to finish his skill set until I think of something better. XD

Thanks again, I will keep working on this map and about the loadscreen, I left it empty to avoid the "Press a key to continue". I have plans to add a custom loadscreen that will include a description.

 

[light bolt30]

Can you tell me how the creeps upgrade overtime please?

 

[AsXurian]

Sorry, I did not undertand what you mean. =(

What i meant was I saw several heroes had a default ability in green. For example the Nerubian Lord hero has the default ability Burrow. I understand that you added special precautions to his burrow ability which i congratulate you for those, but my question being is, should all of them be balanced to the ones with default abilities or should they all have them? Are they already balanced good? If you don't understand please specify what your confused about.

 

[Skar]

I found that many of th heroes had default abiities in green. Are they balanced for the non-default ability heroes?

Ohh, now I got it. Are you talking about the "green skills" in the heroes descriptions, right? Yes, they are balanced. They are extra skills to be used in combination with others. Like the Death Knight, for example, when he learns Death Coil, he gains Wrath of the Dead. Death Coil throws the Coil and Wrath of the Dead explodes it.

Can you tell me how the creeps upgrade overtime please?

It's automatic, every fews minutes the game automaticaly upgrades their attack, but you can also improve them buying upgrades on a market, these upgrades improve the hit points, armor, damage and attack speed.

 

[Skar]

Ok guys, sorry for the delay (and the double post), but here's the new version of the map with a new terrain and some fixes. Check the changelog for more informations.

The next version will probably be released sooner and with a new hero. ^^

 

[FrozenFenrir]

okay i tested your map and uhm well...
first after i read your map description i thought "yeah evolving items" but after i bought one and it evolved i thought "....thats all?=/"
its quite boring watching a poor standard item evolving only once in an almost as poor standard item =/ maybe make more stages of evolving, like first its an almost useless item (like now) and a really good one after 2-3 evolutions (like dunno...+50 agi and +20% evasion)
of course every further evolution needs more effort. like starting the first evolution takes 5mins, the next 15 and so on.
next. the sets. they r quite common now but in some other maps they fuse into a single item after obtaining all of them.would be nice if u would make i like this(for ballancing, make it impossible to wear more than one set at a time)

ive tested the map just short and i found several typos =/

elune's spirits skills:
elunes touch: "8dmg over time" this usually means like "2dps for 4 secs"
the right form would be "8dps"..."Over time" means the total dmg it will do on a single target.(btw it feels like this skill deals pretty low dmg, but i havent tested the other heroes to compare with)

Elunes Grace; "90% damage reduction" first i was like "wtf" but then i figured out u mean "10% dmg reduction" or "only 90% received dmg"
your descriptions are quite confusing =/

the terrain...is a bit over average and seems well to me.(only the doodad kinda buildings with the training units lol was a lil weird at the first second)

overall 3/5 atm

That's the initial idea of them, but I'm still working on it. As I do everything alone I tryed to do as much as I can to make the basic of the map in order to release a beta and then start to improve it.

There's basic versions and more powerfull ones of these items, you probably tested one of the basic.

next. the sets. they r quite common now but in some other maps they fuse into a single item after obtaining all of them.would be nice if u would make i like this(for ballancing, make it impossible to wear more than one set at a time)

That could save some space in the inventory, but if they fuse when you complete the Set, they will be more like Recipes than Sets.

As they use more slots they are more powerfull and fusing them in a single item in the end would be a little too much in my opinion.

Thats my bad english in action. XD

It's 8 of damage per second during 6 to 10 seconds in the first level.

I already fixed it and looked for others like that.

Elunes Grace; "90% damage reduction" first i was like "wtf" but then i figured out u mean "10% dmg reduction" or "only 90% received dmg"
your descriptions are quite confusing =/

This one was a mistake of mine. The spell you learn is different from the one you actualy receive and I changed the tooltip of one of them and forgot the other.

the terrain...is a bit over average and seems well to me.(only the doodad kinda buildings with the training units lol was a lil weird at the first second)

overall 3/5 atm

The giant buildings are to give more a better aspect to the base and make them look like more alived, but I still have plans to improve them.


Thanks for the mini review and the tips and just for curiosity, did you played only with Elunes Spirit and alone?

This looks nice and all but...

*Dramatic Music*

Can you name what makes this stand out from other Aeons of Strife?

Well, despite of everything already said, I trying to make an AoS with the normal gameplay, where you have total control of your hero, you attack where or what you want and when you want, so nothing new in this point.

The diferent kind of items affect the playability, since if you decide using Sets, you will need more time and money to become stronger, but with the Evolution items it can be cheaper and quicker. Also the hero you are using affect that because some heroes don't fit with some kind of items. Other than that I may implement 2 more kinds of items on the map.

But my main focus are the heroes, wich in my opinion is the something very important in this kind of map. I will try to make them with the most different gameplay possible. Some people loved the Sorceress and the DNA Manipulator, wich are the most differents so far and enjoyed the Templar Mage and the Energy Reaver. I already have ideas to make more like them and to change some skills of already existant heroes.

One of the changes was making the outposts, so instead of a tower lost in the middle of the lane you have a mini base, but I will add more things to influence in the gameplay as more bosses and unique items for each faction.

The gameplay already change during a match with the decision of the players in upgrading their waves or not, because this may cause an advantage to one team and is harder for some heroes to farm. This is not totaly new, but I think that all those things together make something different.

Sorry for writing so much.

 

[FrozenFenrir]

There's basic versions and more powerfull ones of these items, you probably tested one of the basic.

oh well i thought they are all more or less the same at the evolving item shop =O maybe ill test the others later

That could save some space in the inventory, but if they fuse when you complete the Set, they will be more like Recipes than Sets.

ye but wastin 66% of your inventory for a single set is a bit harsh D= and they dont "feel" that effective(they probably are but ...meh its weird to explain)
maybe make some sets out of recipe items to make them "feel" more effective than just simply buying those set items.

The giant buildings are to give more a better aspect to the base and make them look like more alived, but I still have plans to improve them.

ye thought so was just weird in the first secs... then it was kinda funny and...again weird (why are they hitting the rocks with their swords?i know theyre training but their metal swords could break lol D= *thinks wwaaaay too much about that*)

Thanks for the mini review and the tips and just for curiosity, did you played only with Elunes Spirit and alone?

actually....yes!
i was kinda in a hurry so ...i just tried it singleplayer to get an overview about this map. i didnt host it cause its fucking hard to host an uncommon map at the battlenet these days...(stupid annoying dota retards >_>)

 

[Skar]

Since you can't answer my question, I'll just not vote and not rate.

See ya around!

Ok then. See ya.

I know what you mean, but trust me, having a full set it is something.

ye thought so was just weird in the first secs... then it was kinda funny and...again weird (why are they hitting the rocks with their swords?i know theyre training but their metal swords could break lol D= *thinks wwaaaay too much about that*)

Yes, it's weird, but amoung all the doodads these rocks were the best I found. I thought of using trees, but it would be stranger to have trees in the middle of the base. =S

actually....yes!

I agree. It's hard even for me to find people to play and is even harder to find someone that don't keep saying: "That map sucks, because Dota rules."

Anyway, thanks for pointing me these errors in Elunes. =)

 

[FrozenFenrir]

I know what you mean, but trust me, having a full set it is something.

well im TALKING about a full set!!
a set of 4 finished recipes which dont fuse together...

I agree. It's hard even for me to find people to play and is even harder to find someone that don't keep saying: "That map sucks, because Dota rules."

ye...dota is one of the most overrated maps ive ever seen =/
so many years of development and its still not ballanced...which is kinda epic fail.

Anyway, thanks for pointing me these errors in Elunes. =)

np ;D
ill try some other heroes after holidays

 

[Skar]

Hmmm... This is interesting, but I fear that the game will eventually become less newbie friendly, maybe I can create one or two sets with mixed items (evolution, recipe and cursed).

ye...dota is one of the most overrated maps ive ever seen =/

Thats complicated. I will try to balance my map as much possible. =P

np ;D

I will add a "debug mode" for the single player and make easier for people to test it or get used to the map.

BTW, Merry christmas.

 

[Skar]

Finally the 0.4b version of Scars of War.

This time with a brand new hero, lots of balances and some fixes.

I hope you enjoy. =)

Next time I will add extra features to increase the gameplay.

 

[MogulKahn]

I think this map have future,cuz there is a lot unique spells and really fun gameplay.GJ and Gl with the map.^^
EDIT:I dont like few things.
1.U need recipes shops.
2.I dont like Wisps for Night elf mage cuz druid fits better.
3.I dont like crypt fiends for orc range units,maybe shamans with diffrent name are better(u have crypt fiends for undead range unit 2).

Hey, thanks, Hey, thanks, I still have lot to do in this map to let it as I planned. =)

About what you pointed:

1. There is a recipe shop, the yellow cube named Recipe Store. I know there is only a few of then, but recipes are not the main kind of item on the map.

2. The Wisps are the mage level 1 of the Night Elves, when you upgrade them, they will become a Druid of Talon and then a Chimaera.

3. The waves are themed for each lane, that means, in the top lanes are Humans x Orcs, in the bottom lane are Night Elves x Undeads and the middle lane are a mix of these four races. That's why you see a Crypt Fiend in the middle of Orcs and an Night Elf Archer in the middle of Humans. =)

 

[MogulKahn]

Pls delete marine hero or change him with some other model.Cuz I do not like anything in WC3, which has to do with the future!

I know he is a little high-tech, but when I created him, his history was something like: The Goblins created a very adveanced battle suit, but they never had the chance to test it because Human spies stole the project, created the first prototype and Roger, once an ordinary footman, was selected to test it.

Goblins always create nice contraptions. =P

Awesome map 5/5 could use some more items and maybe some side bosses and make gold just slightly easier to get.

 

[tastywater]

Could use more recipe items, would also be nice if you could upgrade your some equipment(a new item type!).

Towers are a bit to good, takes forever to be strong enough to take them down.

Good map, like it
I do however feel like you should change the priestess of the moons ulti to something more relevant to her other abilities.

 

[Skar]

Thanks for the comments, guys. =)

Awesome map 5/5 could use some more items and maybe some side bosses and make gold just slightly easier to get.

Now I am confused. Some people already complained that the map has too many items. =S

But me and my test team feels that is, actualy, kinda easy to get gold, specially if you choose a hero specialized in killing waves.

About the bosses, there are 3 bosses spots. I know its a little hard to find the red spots on the map but maybe this image can make things easier for you. It shows the exact location of all the bosses: =)

I will add more recipes, sets, evo and cursed items in a near future.

When you get some level and a few equips, the two first towers will be a lot easier. Try to get rid of the rest of the outpost before. =)

When you say "upgrade your equipment" you mean something like the evolution items of the map? '-'

 

[DragonSkyX]

Hey guy Great Job! Congratulations xD

The Chaos Emerald is reference at Sonic The Hedgehog ?

Glad you enjoyed. ^^

Yes, it is. I have plans to rework the Emerald in a future version, the next version of the map is almost done, so it will be probably on the following version. =)

 

[Skar]

New Version 0.6

Ok guys, new version, sorry for the delay, but I had some problems with my computer.

This version was supposed to be focused on the heroes, but I ended working on the terrain, improving it appearence and making it more strategic. I also added 12 Achievements, a loadscreen (finaly), and the possibility to the host customize some aspects of the game, like the initial level of the waves, turn off Achievements and more, check the in-game manual(F9) for the full list.

I hope you enjoy. =)

 

[N1ghthawk]

Always good to see what other designers are doing in their AoS-style maps . You may want to have someone comb through your map and fix the spelling/grammer mistakes though.

P.S. - I liked the ramparts idea; very cool.

Yeah... I need to ask someone to help me with the spelling, but is it that bad? '-'

So you have an AoS too? I'm gonna check it later. =)

I like the thing that you can go on the wall You know the stairs up to the wall. Ingame it seems like stairs the units is going up and down like real stairs how did you make it?

 

[random.guy27]

Is the Map Maker considering Suggestions?
Because, I have some ideas in mind that you might sorta like.

Thx. The stairs were a little trick that I learned, it's kinda easy to make. It's just a bunch of hidden plataforms that give the impression of a real stair. =P

Yes, the Map Maker is open to suggestion. Please, feel free to make them. I want to improve this map as much as possible. =)

Well map looks really awesome, terrain, items, spells, gameplay everything, but you made some small errors with pathing ground (check picture)

Lol, I think I increased the size of the Barracks and forgot to change the original pathing, thanks for pointing me that, it's already fixed for the next version. ^^'

And thanks for testing the map, I'm glad you liked.

 

[DragonSkyX]

Oh New Version O/

Great achievements

LoadScreen is Not bad, but combine with map.

However I did not find many bugs in the game. My time is short x.x

After trying everything I edit here.

But for now Good Job.

PS: My english is Bad .-.

 

[Skar]

Version 0.7

Hi guys, one more version with one new hero, reworked another hero, a new map feature and some balances an fixes.

The new hero is Iraneth the Emerald Dragon, he starts as a fragile whelp and grows old every time he learns his ultimate skill, wich improves everything on him, since the fighting capabilities and his form, to the effects and damage of the spells. He gains more experience every time he kills an enemy unit until level 6, so even being harder to play with him at start, it's easier to gain level and evolve to a more stable form.

I completely reworked the Bloodmage changing all his spells and status. He is now good against heroes with high mana.

The new map features are the Power-Ups. They may drop everytime a player kills an enemy wave unit and, when a hero picks up them, they increase something on it. So far there are 3 kinds: Gold Power-Up (wich increases the maximum amount of gold you can gain by killing wave units), Attribute Power-Up (wich increases the primary attribute of the hero) and Time Power-Up (wich decreases the time to your hero resurrect). They have a default of 4 levels, so the effects can stack up to 4 times, of course you can change that using the command -pu# (see the in-game manual for more details). When a hero dies, it will lose all the Power-Ups it has, so you will have to pick them all again.

Have fun. =)

Yeah, the achievement were a nice add to the map, now its more competitive.

Don't worry, it's good that you didn't found bugs. At least they are rare or don't exist. =P

I will be waiting for your post then. =)

 

[MogulKahn]

Every next map is better then previous.Good job man and keep it up.But I dont like your map screen and loading screen.I think its better if you find some good artwork that fits your map !
www.sonsofthestorm.com check this link

EDIT:2. spell of blood mage is bugged.When I activate that spell on low mana, it drains all my mana, but after that it dont turn off just keep working mana drain. xD

Thanks for point me that, I totally forgot to stop the spell when you run out of mana, at least the spheres didn't deal damage. =P

Also thanks for the link, I'm gonna check it. =)

I already fixed this little fail and uploaded the new map. XD

 

[DragonSkyX]

New Hero, Iraneth The Emerald Dragon, Great, Dragons are FTW!


Have you thought about increasing the level (Skills) of the characters?Skills go up to level 5 right? It would be nice if it came up to level 10, increase the play time.

The Skill of Marine, "Radar" isn't Cool, could be exchanged for another attack ability.

The Skills of Emerald Dragon is perfect, Don't need change this.

The horde need more heroes, but as I play more with the alliance ... xD




Don't have many comments about the map now, but continue with the excellent Job.

But to make all skills with 10 levels, I'll be forced to raise the maximum level of heroes for nearly 50, that's a lot! The heroes will have to level-up so fast in the first levels that if you leave the battle or die, the level of your hero will be far behind from the level of the others. One level of difference it's a lot, imagine 2 or 3. Not to mention it will be very hard to create a good balance. Lots of levels are not necessary to an AoS. Also, the Sorceress skills go up to level 10.

The Radar skill is a strategic ability. It points the position of all enemy heroes around you in a huge area. It allows you to predict an ambush and a lot of other things. The Marine doesn't need another offensive ability, specially an ultimate, he can do a lot of damage with the Stim Pack.

The last two heroes were to the Alliance, that's why they have more heroes now, but don't worry, I already finished the concept for 2 Horde heroes.

Thinking about it this way, really spend a lot of level 10 the map could be tiring.

I just never using the skill radar, because I have just put in Sudden Death, and go shopping item, most often hehe.

New Heroes of Horde is good.

Have you thought about new items such as dual axes, spears, electrical, new swords ...

Until upgrades to the towers could be cool.

Anyway that's it, look for the next release.

 

[Skar]

New version 0.8

New version!

This one brings 6 new items, 1 "new" hero and 3 new customization commands and a better loadscreen, thanks to MogulKahn.

The "new" hero is Daiamaros, the Phoenix. It's an old hero, that exists since the first version of the map, but I removed it because of some issues, but From all the tests I made, they were completely fixed. This new Alliance hero is a self-risking one that can sacrifice its own hit point to gain attack damage, but this may not be totaly a problem, since it can reborn from the ashes using its ultimate.

I added the -ban command, wich allows the host to ban up to 5 heroes. If someone thing that some hero is unbalance ou anything else, just ban it. =P

The other 2 customization commands are -wt and -speed. The last one increases the movement speed and attack speed of everything on the map: units, towers, neutral creeps, etc. The -wt command allows the host to set the delay between the spawn of the waves. Using both together you can create a really fast game. ^^

The new items are 2 evolution, 2 recipes and 2 common. The 2 common drops from the bosses on the top corners of the map. They can be used to create the 2 new recipes. Those recipes boosts more your faction than the hero itself, because they decrease the time to upgrade the attack damage of the waves and send an extra unit once every 4 spawns. The evolution items are the strenght and agility versions of the Rune Staff, they have 5 levels each, but the agility one has 2 final forms and you choose wich one you will get.

Also, the Caos Emerald was reworked and it is now the fusion of the 2 new recipes.

That's all for now, hope you like it. =)

Yeah, for the next version I will create 2 new upgrades, one for the outposts and another for the waves. I was supposed to add them to this version, but the new items and modes, took more time than I expected.

About the new items, what they will do? You need to give me a little more details. '-'

Instead of playing in the Death Match mode, if you are playing alone, try using the -debug command, it will allows a bunch of codes, including one that gives gold.

 

[MogulKahn]

Np for loading screen!^^
I will test your new map!

[DragonSkyX]

New Version....

Hum, Here Go!

New Hero, good, but when we new heroes of horde?


It was nice customization commands, I particularly likes them, good job

-New item: Burning Heart. Drops of the bosses in the upper left corner of the map;
-New item: Storm Heart. Drops of the bosses in the upper right corner of the map;

Too much trouble to kill them, then the items should be really good right? xD

Per hour is only so when you finish testing the map, update here.

Maybe on the next version, I am already making new spells for old heroes. ^^

About the items, both Hearts are good, if you kill a player with one of those, you will regret for a good time. Also, they are ingredients for recipes. Both are items for late game, because the bosses on the corners are strong.

I want to say that I posted only GUI tutorials that can be found on THW you can also visit many other sites like wc3c or the helper net etc etc...
Why GUI, well I know Jass a little, I can understand but I can't explain it, so I posted only stuff that I can help you with!
Also if someone see that some new tutorials are uploaded or maybe deleted tell me so I can fix list, thanks!

Gameplay:

Gameplay is epic!
I played map few times before and now I tested it with friend!
I like how diablo 2 inspired ya to create item sets!
Spells and Abilities are different and well used for each hero!
Phenix resurection is awesome (If well look at Sceleton King bad ultimate choice)
Turtle abilities aren't so powerful (that heal thing with stored energy or whatever)
Then come nice and simple multiboard! I find same long time ago when I played Candy Wars
But hero experience rate is very poor
Cooldowns are really high (example creep updates)

I am sad because I can't check triggers and maybe find few errors or few awesome systems! If this map become really famous I would like to see it within THW hosted projects

This map is really awesome, and it can be really fun! I will rate it with 4/5 and vote for approval

And for the end my last words:

The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• THW Chat

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

For new users:
If map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

I hope that my comment helps even a little so you can improve your map, if you want to know more, or just simple ask for something else I will try to help for sure!

Final mark:

 

[Skar]

Version 0.8b

Quick version. I had a terrible week, but I found some time to correct a few things on the map. I also started to create new spells, so far, I've created 1 for the Archmage, Glaive Mistress and Nerubian Guardian, and I am half way to completely rework the Shaman.

Hopefully, the next big version comes out this month. =)

Gameplay:

Gameplay is epic!
I played map few times before and now I tested it with friend!
I like how diablo 2 inspired ya to create item sets!
Spells and Abilities are different and well used for each hero!
Phenix resurection is awesome (If well look at Sceleton King bad ultimate choice)
Turtle abilities aren't so powerful (that heal thing with stored energy or whatever)
Then come nice and simple multiboard! I find same long time ago when I played Candy Wars
But hero experience rate is very poor
Cooldowns are really high (example creep updates)

I am sad because I can't check triggers and maybe find few errors or few awesome systems! If this map become really famous I would like to see it within THW hosted projects

This map is really awesome, and it can be really fun! I will rate it with 4/5 and vote for approval

And for the end my last words:

The Hive includes many talented Warcraft III modders of all skill levels among its users. New members (especially friendly ones) are always welcome. Take a look around and enjoy your stay, may it be long and productive!

Some good places to start include:

• The Important Site Rules
• Your User Control Panel
• Warcraft III Tutorials
• Cool Avatars
• Search The Hive
• Community Members
• The Hive Workshop Staff
• THW Chat

Searching the site using the above link always helps, you can learn a lot that way: just reading and learning is usually the best place to start, especially if one feels overwhelmed.

Likewise, the tutorials can really teach ALL of us a thing or two.
The chat room is cool: lots of people can answer questions there.

A few other tips that might help too:
-Always search first! Did I already mention THAT?
-When creating a new thread, make the title VERY specific: so the site's search engine (and we users) can easily understand just what the thread contains.
-Post your new threads in the proper forum: read the descriptions of each one so that you know what to post there.
-If all else fails, just send me a private message! I'll try to do whatever I can to help.

For new users:
If map isn't finished jet, use Map Development forum for that! You can make thread there upload your map so people can tell you what they think just like here! Also for any help with triggers or how to clean memory leaks post triggers and create threads here Triggers & Scripts! Btw if you need any help with WE we have World Editor Help Zone here on THW! And at the end if you need any resource from icons to loading screens check this out Requests!

I hope that my comment helps even a little so you can improve your map, if you want to know more, or just simple ask for something else I will try to help for sure!

Final mark:

Sorry for the late answer and thanks for the review, dude. I will be waiting for the rest of it.

Well idea is really epic! It look like standard Aoe map, some users call it dota like map -.-, but with epic item systems, spells, gameplay etc etc

That's something really annoying, almost every time I play my map there is someone that says: "Hey, this is a dota copy." and after playing for some time some of them change their minds. Fortunately they can see all the different features.

Everything is well explained, maybe is English a little bad (Friend find it a little bad)

Yea, I gonna ask someone to help me with the grammar. ^^

I love Diablo series, and the second one definitely inspired me to create the items sets and a few more things.
I try to personalize the heroes as much I can, to make them really uniques and I try to break the 4 spells standard that most of the AoSes have.
I didn't get what you said about the Sceleton King. =(
About the Dragon Turtle, the Healing Spell is just the first one that you can spend the stored energy, there are 3 more to use, but still the healing can be up to 400 hit points.
If you think the experience rate is too poor, use the command -sx and increase the amount. =D

Thank you very much for the review -Kobas-.
