Run from the Grunt! v2.72 Protected

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
Builder's Goal (No modes)
Your goal is to try to kill the grunt. Build a base, and find a good spot.

Grunt's Goal (No modes)
Your goal is to try to kill all of the survivors. When they are killed, they are sent to jail (in the middle of map) and other surviving builders or rescuers can rescue them (by walking into jail). You can gaurd with mini grunts at the jail, but your main grunt and minion cannot walk into the jail.


A few survivors were on a boat when suddenly, a storm brewed. Their boat was pushed from strong waves and they landed on a snowy island nearby. A legendary Grunt lives on that island and will kill anyone that disturbs his 5,000 year sleep. Unfortunately, the survivors found resources on the island and started to build. This awakened the Grunt and his minions. Now the survivors fight for their lives and will try at all costs to kill the legendary Grunt once and for all.

-Engineers are better for repairing than repairers because they have more hit points
For Grunt:
-Lightning staff is useful for killing builders far range. Use a combo when trying to kill (Strangle, lightning staff, shockwave). Becareful, some human survivors upgrade their hp, it may be harder to kill
-When you receive the backup units, use them to guard the jail so Survivors cannot be rescued by other players
-Blink is useful for teleporting in other's bases
-When the humans get God Wall, try to get the Orb of God

Bad Originality? Wtf? o_O
Yea thanks for finding bugs, i will fix them asap
Umm... I dont find any missing tooltips, can you give me an example?

Art thou using tags?[/QUOTE]

Yea, Im using the [IMG] tags but it doesnt work. By the way how do you do the "Reveal" thing, on your signature?

[HIDDEN = TITLE] then [/HIDDEN]

(No spaces between the equal sign)

And by the way, that guy gave your map "bad originality" because there are many "vamp"-like maps out there, and yours does not exhibit any unique difference from all the other clones. Basically, if I made a DotA, that wouldn't be original. :p

Well I guess it is about time I posted here for you victorlin5, good start for a map but what needs to be improved is more items and needs to separate from all the vampirism and tag type of maps because it is just like them, the hero icon for the grunt is a texture it seems and it does look bad if anybody notices it otherwise not much else I can say because the map is protected.

Map Review

This review is made by reason 3, if you have any questions or anything else to comment feel free to Private Message me.You may also ask me to review your map again.

This tag idea reminds me of the "Island Defense".You are on an island running a way from a huge Grunt with the sole purpose to survive.

[-]Your map wasn't really original, since it is just another tag game with the purpose of run and hide.
[-]After a few minutes i got really bored running all around.Terrain didn't help at all, since it was about the same everywhere.
[-]You need a few custom spells too.
[-]The Grunt doesn't have many items, you should add more.Same for those survivors i think they need more and better structures.
[-]I saw a green icon.This means that you either have not imported the DISBTN file of it or you imported it to wrong path.
[-]You need a better description of your map and better tooltips.
[-]I noticed a strange bug with my survivor, whenever i was running to a foged area my unit disappeared and appeared really fast.This might be a problem with your camera triggers?
[-]Map was also unbalanced, the Grunt doesn't stand even a chance.Humans can outrun him by just running they don't need a base.I continually ran around the fountain in the mid getting healed and blinking and he couldn't kill me.

Overall rating:1/5 - vote for rejection
My suggestions would be to work more on your map, add more units, buildings, items.You should also improve your terrain.Finally, some balance wouldn't be bad either.

The recipe for the Grunt's axe was bugged, if you place the required item for it in slot1 and 2, it gives you the recipe with no + stats and hp.
The survivor's hero can buy tomes at the Grunt's shop, causing it to have high stats to kill the grunt.

Well, Overall it was good. However the builders hide in the cracks in the tree area to the west. Lightning Staff doesnt have enough range to attack them. Small bugs but average gameplay.

That means some maps Vamp maps are too laggy cuz there are many workers or something else to make lag... (and my computer is not really strong for now, Will buy new computer btw.. in one week :mwahaha:) so im trying to say that let the map loading be short time, (now it is really short) you should keep it.
And i can say that again and again its best Vamp-Type map =O

Hmm... I will lower the Blink Item range to 200 instead of 350 . To blink proof, you must build campfires along the edges of the base or, when you get engineers, you can build the Blink Proof! walls along the edges, replacing the campfires. The Blink Proof! walls have low hp, but they have a high regeneration rate. It is sort of like the gold mines in vamp or castle towers, which is used to block the vampire from blinking in :p

Well, to make lumber you need to build a building base, then, you upgrade the building base to a lumber warehouse. You gain lumber every 50 seconds for each lumber warehouse you have. You can read Info(QuestsF9) on "How to get lumber"
