Jailbreak

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
One day in the city stockades, a large amount of convicted bandits got together. They devised a plan that could get them out of the jail. The next week they have escaped! Now the city guards are the only thing that stand in the way of the bandit army.

The Objective:
Destroy the other player's fort before they get a chance to destroy yours.

Thanks to: Elenai, NatDis, General Frank, communist_orc, †-Revellion-†, and Grey_Archon for the awesome models!

What I changed: Added Items, Upgrades, New Unit, and fixed some bugs.

Keywords:
Jailbreak, Bandits, Humans, Guards

Hi, this is my review: personally i found the game too short lived and too little types of units (there only 2). Next there isnt any towers to guard the enemy or your area hence once u push it over despite having 5k hp since the unit spawn slow and hero next to useless to swamp. It just make the death slower. there also isnt any tactics to this, who build first win...just a matter of time where the troop slowly build up. Try adding some upgrades or ability or more types of unit. On the plus note, u have some nice skins. Try a bigger map with more players and gold incomes. Ill give this a 2-2.2/5.

Review : First of all, you did not create custom forces and fix player settings. If I often become the host game, I would not be able to play as bandit team.

Second, I found out there is a few custom model and icon have been used for this map. The question is, where is the credit ? Using somebody else resources without giving credit is unacceptable. Please give credit to them.

Third, there is a few hotkey malfunction. For example, when I press "A" button to train Archer unit. Nothing happen at all. Please ensure those hotkey are in proper place.

Fourth, there is many mismatch hotkey and a hotkey that doesn't show. For example, there is no indication of the hotkey for Holy Light skill. It show as "Holy Light" instead of "Holy Light" while Holy Power skill hotkey is "V". Invalid hotkey could kill the joy of the game.

Fifth, the trigger leak. Most of the GUI trigger leak and have to be fix with custom script or else the game might be effected. Although this map is a quick game style map- since you're new in map making, it is better to inform you regarding about it before you expand yourself into making much compleks game.

Sixth, the unit training is 20-30 seconds. But that is consider long for such a quick game. I recommend you to cut it down to 8-15 instead.

Finally, it is recommend to have tower to guard the base. Whoever heard of a base that are left unguard. :hohum:

Another -15 point for this map, actually I would just deduct 4 points if you do give credit to the original sources.
