12:39, 4th Oct 2008 VGsatomi: Approved. Rather small map for a hero arena this big, but since its basically large team vs large team that does not matter as much. The problem with team hero arenas like this is if even 1 player leaves, the game...

VGsatomi: Approved. Rather small map for a hero arena this big, but since its basically large team vs large team that does not matter as much. The problem with team hero arenas like this is if even 1 player leaves, the game becomes immediately too imbalanced to continue, unlike the traditional FFA kinds. Heroes looked good, terrain looked good. Didn't get a change to test hero balancing too much. File size is big but not unreasonable.

Yep I remember EotA ^^

But seriosly man, rename your map or I'll lose faith and respect for you -_-

The map could also use some description about the gameplay, not just "It's an xxxRPGxxx". How is it played?

Edit:
P.S. And 1.7 Mb isn't small -_- "It won't be 4 Mb, don't worry!" you say. I don't worry about 4 mb! I worry about 1 Mb. For me anything that is over a Mb generaly sux to host... I prefer under 500 kb.

Stop complaining about the name... It's not as if he just named it like Gota to sound like dota, he has a name, and a pretty good one too. Focus on the map, the name isn't that important.

This map looks promising, i will test it and come back to rate :wink:


EDIT
Ok, i've played the map(well, more of checked it out solo) and the first thing that struck me was the hero choose system. Since u son't have any tooltip, u dont know what kind of hero you wil be choosing the first time you play. I recommend changing this.

Secondly, you really need to work on the spells. As far as i can see, this is just the same old wc3-spells with different names and icons. Be creative! Even if you don't know triggering, you can do incredible things with just the object editor. The way it is now, it's just boring and repitive.

The creeps in the restricted area sleeps at night, which stacs them up and sometimes spawns them in the sea, making it impossible to kill them with a melee hero.

Balancing is a real issue here. Most ultimimates is really overpowered. And i'm talking insanely overpowered. Dark Knights ulti, 30 seconds silence the first rank? Also the Archdruids Entangling roots lasts too long(dunno if the duration is on heroes too), since if you are a hero without any nuke ability you can't do anything for 36 seconds.

I found some spelling errors too, such as Slalom instead of slam and the Movementspeed and attackspeed item has a colorcode error.


As it looks now, i would give this map a 2/5, but i wont touch the official rating yet. If you fix these issues i would probably change my mind about that.
This map has potential, it really does, but it has a long way to go.
