Danos, Forbidden Titan - INT

Hero arena

Lore:
Eventually unsealing you was never the idea. The guy that opened my box said the moment I killed him. Seems like he wanted to use or absorb my powers. He was in charge of some kind of army with weird chain structures. Aparently who ever could kill the leader would become the leader, chained by a magic contract the first leader made, breaking this contract could be a disaster even for me, as I could not unseal all my powers I was forced to join this nonsense battle. As the Titan I used to be, I find it worthless to fight for something I already faught enought times. The world.

Melts after X seconds.
Range: 900
Cooldown: 270 seconds
Notes: Name a bit large huh? the range is the area effect, it's a lot so it should be a really short frozen time.

As far as I could understand, strategy is the key on that map. So hero don't have to be unbalanced, rather so made that using them in the right way, you win. by the way jackal, you should press the image in my signature to see the changes I made to the first post (kinda) and the hero files, where one more hero file was added while you where in the time chamber.



Conan, the general - STR

Notes: Scales time to counterstrike and movement speed duration.


Train - No Target

Holy water - Area Target
Creates a holy cup containing holy water over target area, and replaces this spell with drop water. While water is being dropped, unit's in target area get healed by X% of their max health per second and gain Y attack speed. Hero can cancel this by casting the spell again. The cup contains enought water to be used for Z seconds in total.
Range: 1000
Cooldown: 90 seconds
Notes: Large mana cost. Yes you can keep more than one cup, but when you make holy water drop all cups will drop at the same time, and if you stop them the same. The amount of water each cup contains is a number over it. Scales amount of water (duration) and speed gain.


Ultimate:

There is only one hero per player and each player holds a different faction. You could take a look at my signature. Like Paillan said, strategy is the key to my map. You must help your forces to either conquer most of the cities and towns or destroy all enemies.

I think that's it about that request.

Fixed up some of the main post. I'll place the other hero files later on today.

You're the fucking man, Paillan (insert hearts n shit).

There is only one hero per player and each player holds a different faction. You could take a look at my signature. Like Paillan said, strategy is the key to my map. You must help your forces to either conquer most of the cities and towns or destroy all enemies.

So is it like Warcraft 3 destroying the town where you destroy the town's main structure or do you hold a control point?

Also, can I have an overview of the race playstyles? Your page doesn't seem to give much info other than the lore.

Its kind of similar to W3 but you must hold a control point to earn resources.

Also, can I have an overview of the race playstyles? Your page doesn't seem to give much info other than the lore.

Orcs of the South mainly focuses on their numbers since they have a stronger hit points and attack damage and overpowering enemies with stats-enhancing spells.

Alliance focuses on armor and hitpoints since they are weaker than the orcs but assisted by powerful AoE siege weapons and supporting arcane magic or the power of the holy light.

Wood Elves considered to be on par with the Alliance but is much agile with bigger attack and movement speed. Most of the units are ranged units.

Frozen Horde and Black Legion is still not developed but Frozen Horde will focus relying with all of its units to be effective and the Black Legion is a chaotic race which focuses on fire power and black magic.

Here is apcrabnightlive's request:

latest

Orc Warchief - STR
Abilities:


Spoils of War - Bonus Passive
For every few units killed or structures destroyed, the Orc Warchief gains a set amount of gold.
Range: 0
Cooldown: 1 minute
Notes: Does not scale. Number of units required and number of structures required are different. If the ability activates, there is a minute wait time before it actives again (can change to fit game better).


Sack - Unit Target
Orders all units within a 500 unit radius to attack the selected structure for a short duration. Double bounty is gained if the structure is destroyed.
Range: 600
Cooldown: Above Average - Average
Notes: Can only target a building.

drum.gif

War Drums - No Target
The Orc Warchief brings out his drums of war, disabling him from attacking and casting spells but giving all nearby units within a 400 unit radius bonus attack damage and movement speed.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Medium - Low
Notes: Scales duration. Attack speed and movement speed bonuses depend on the hero's STR stat.


Pounce - Area Target
The wolf of the Orc Warchief lunges into the target area, dealing damage to all units within a 200 unit radius and mini-stunning them.
Range: 600
Cooldown: Average
Notes: Scales damage and range. Mini-stun is a 0.01 second stun, which results in a cancellation of all spells to be casted in the next 0.01 second and all spells currently being channeled.


Ultimate:
Horde Steel - No Target
The Orc Warchief gears his nearby allies with armor, giving a bonus armor to all nearby units within a 350 unit radius. There is a short channel before the ability takes effect. If the Orc Warchief is attacked when the channeling, he is stunned for 3 seconds.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Long
Notes: Scales armor increase and reduces channel time per level. Armor increase should be reasonable.


Strategy:
Order your frontline units to charge into the battlefield. Cast War Drums then cast Pounce to the units charging. If you see an important structure (e.g. Barracks, Altar, Town Hall, etc. then cast Sack first).

Make sure you do not make Sack's duration too long as it may be OP when paired with the Rammer. War Drum and Horde Steel works very well with Bersekers, as long as the Warchief is kept in check during the channel. Horde Steel should be good enough to allow for adequate protection for the Berserkers but not enough to make them unable to die with the bonus.

If you see an enemy hero casting a channeling spell, use Pounce to mini-stun them, cancelling channeled spells.

Spoils of War really forces the Orcs to go out and fight rather than stay back and hide.

An offensive support type hero.

Strength: 17 + 1.20 per level
Agility: 16 + 1.00 per level

Notes: Scales ranged and magical attack damage amplification. Perhaps use a negative valued Elune's Grace for this. Affects all units (even allied ones).


Bull's-eye - No Target
The next attack of the Wood Elf Ranger will not miss and would deal significantly more damage than usual.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Average
Notes: Auto crit. Does not stack with passive. Has a 1 second channeling, making her susceptible to mini-stuns.


Ultimate:
Thorns - Area Target
Summons a field of thorns in the target area which ensnares all enemy units, causing the affected units to not be able to move for a short period.
Range: 400
Cooldown: Very Long
Notes: Scales duration. Enemy units can attack, rotate, defend, cast spells, etc. but cannot move.


Obviously an attack damage/DPS hero. Meant to be used to take out hard-to-kill enemies from a distance with assistance of other ranged units. Has a very low mana amount and rather long cooldowns for her playstyle, requiring her abilities to be used with precaution.

A good tactic here is to do something similar to early game Blademaster harass in Warcraft 3. Cast Meld then head to the enemies base, but only using the Ranger. Cast Bull's-eye then attack enemy builders/Peons to cripple the enemies growth. This combo may also be used to take down enemy heroes. However, her squishy HP may prevent her from doing so.

Scouting can easily be done by using Meld and Smokescreen to prolong the duration. However, the Ranger gets reduced sight and attack range from Smokescreen, requiring the player to do a cost-benefit analysis. Smokescreens are also very much obvious to enemies, so its preferred to scout at an area where you can see them but they can't see you (such as cliffs).

The hero requires a certain degree of familiarity/mastery of the game to use effectively, and is good paired with supportive units as well as tanks to divert attention away from her (so basic holy trinity stuff). Requires heavy micro-ing.

Some stat pros/cons:
Pros: Good attack damage, average attack speed, great movement speed
Cons: Low HP, low mana, low mana regen, low base crit chance, high CD

First request of Sintriaxx, won't do the second :p :D

Doral, Legion's Hammer - Strength
Abilities:



Sweeping Bash - Point Target
Stuns every enemy for X seconds in an arc towards the target point, while also knocking them back by X units and dealing X damage.

High Commander - No Target
For each ally in range, Doral gains X bonus max life and X attack damage.

Here is apcrabnightlive's request:

Wood Elf Demon Hunter - AGI
Abilities:



Spectral Sight - Bonus Passive
The Wood Elf gains reduced sight range but gains True Sight.
Range: 0
Cooldown: 1 minute
Notes: Does not scale.


Leech - Unit Target
The Demon Hunter places a leeching seal into the target unit, sapping a small portion of their mana and health every few seconds.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Above Average
Notes: Reduces interval per level up as well as CD. The health/mana sapped does not change per level.


Purge - Unit Target
Sets a fire straight to the soul of the enemy. Deals true damage and ignores invulnerability.
Range: 0
Cooldown: Below Average
Notes: Scales damage and reduces cost. Has a rather low cooldown but a high mana cost. A very great offensive spell from the Demon Hunter.


Unbody - Unit Target
Removes the enemy's physical body, leaving only its soul. It deals initial damage to the target unit turns into a soul, unable to attack and invisible. After a short duration, the unit reverts back into its physical form.
Range: 600
Cooldown: Average
Notes: Basically Polymorph with invisibility. May target allied units.


Ultimate:
Imbued - Unit Target
The Demon Hunter harnesses the soul of a fallen demon and makes it corrupt the target allied unit. The unit becomes neutrally hostile after a short duration.
Range: 500
Cooldown: Very Long
Notes: Scales delay before turning to neutral hostile.


Strategy:
An offensive support hero with good scouting abilities, whose primary function is to suit the needs of the team. Can be used both for support and battles. Requires micro-management, perhaps equal or even more than the Ranger. I tried to draw inspiration from Warcraft lore.

His innate passive is perhaps one of the greatest tools in his arsenal, preventing early game harass with invisibility-based units as long as he stays in the right areas.

Leech is a very great sustain spell, allowing the Demon Hunter to stay in the battle longer and support his allied units offensively and spam more Purge.

Purge is an amazing direct damage spell, allowing the Demon Hunter to deal damage to primary threats. Although the damage is not that many, it bypasses any sort of armor and invulnerability and is only hampered by its high mana cost.

Unbody can be used both ways - offensively and defensively. Offensively, it can be used to take down key threats in a battle and hamper them. Since the Demon Hunter has True Sight, it allows him to isolate threats for the short time its invisible and cast Purge and further pick them down. However, one should be careful as the Demon Hunter cannot soak hits made by enemy units defending the Unbodied unit.

Defensively, it can be used to help allied units sneak into enemy bases or allow them to escape fights they cannot survive.

The ultimate only targets Blood Elf units except for heroes. The only downfall is becoming neutrally hostile (because not everyone can handle a soul of a demon being inside them). So, when this ability is in place, be sure to control your imbueded unit and send them straight to the enemies base when they are imbuded OR cast Purge.

For the ultimate transformation part, just basically make the transformed unit a more beefed up version of the unit (basically the same unit with better stats, shorter cooldowns, lesser mana cost, or something like that) OR make them have Avatar and cast it.

A great strategy for this hero would be to harass with Unbody and use Purge and use Imbued in large fights or use Unbody to an allied unit to harass enemy units by surprise (cast this on a strong enemy unit, make them invisible, rush to enemy base, soak damage, then have the army do a surprise attack), with Leech serving as a form of sustain.

I can't find a good mode/icon for this. I was thinking for it to simply be a human recoloring of the NE Demon Hunter.

Some stat pros/cons:
Pros: OK mana regen, good INT stat growth for an AGI hero, good HP for an AGI hero (but still low in average)
Cons: High mana costs (esp. Purge), rather high CD, low sight range and attack range, melee

EDIT:
May revise to remove possible imbalances.

Also, anymore requests?

I made some sort-of pseudo code to help you there. Most of them are just regular Blizzard Spells in WC3 with added features (polymorph w/ invisibility for unbody, Avatar for Imbued, life drain + mana drain for leech but done periodically, Chaos damage spell for purge).

For Imbued, it buffs up the allied/enemy unit first then after a while it becomes neutral hostile.

Roles/specifics? Can you give me some mechanics of your map for a better idea?
