The Dwarven Wars v0.42

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
For a reason I do not know, this map has been removed from hive, without appearing in my rejected folder (or any other folder)... probably it has been deleted due to technical issues or some stuff...


The Dwarven Wars - Time of Feud

is a fast-paced action skirmish map ONLY with dwarves... That's right, you will be able to command whole squads of dwarven grim and bearded warriors and of course also their vehicles!

Gameplay:
-Choose a spawn point (rotating blue runes, marked on the minimap as houses)
-Claim a goldmine near your spawn point
-Build a base
-Recruit core-units
-or research a doctrine, allowing you to use additional unit-types


At the end of the predetermined time (which has been set by the host at the beginning) the player with the most kills wins. Yay!

Features:
-Lots of unit-types
-Also a lot of great models made by hive members
-Individual XP for every single dwarf (including veterans)
-Skirmish gameplay
-Gore!
-5doctrine system, giving you more strategic depth
-Cavespawn system - no more do people come out of some silly baracks!
-flexible gametime system

It has been rejected before, now I'm doing it again, it's under your rejected maps on the left. Don't multiple upload ever again.

Had some potential, yet lacking too much:

- Contains German words
- Poor terrain with a lot of spammed rocks
- Missing hotkeys
- Tooltips aren't well written
- The camera makes it hard to play
- Lacks some disabled icons
- Not so original

Overall, Rejected.

The hive cleaned the site a while ago, everything that was not marked, had been deleted.

Review:

General

General:
  • Loading screen is black (is that ment to be?)
  • Not really much information given in-game
  • Not completely translated in English
  • I didn't like the leaderboard (create a multiboard or something, that looks better).

Gameplay:
  • It's half original (it's a castle builder, but with an XP-system and only with dwarves).
  • You start with a Veteran? Doesn't that need to be a "Private", or something?
  • When a 'commander' enters a vehicle and you type -xp, his title appears above the place where they have entered the vehicle, not the place of the vehicle itself.
  • Good tactic-based game, because of the doctrines
  • I like the squad-system
  • After a while, it's pretty boring - when you are losing, you cannot win anymore, though the game will still last a while.
  • Only 50 food, which isn't a lot (though it reduces lag in battles).
  • If you spam towers with walls in front of it (on a cliff) you are 'almost' invincible, because the enemy can't have enough units to tear down those walls.
    (And Anti-armor squads can't see them until they shoot, because they're on a cliff)
  • Riflemen can't attack air?
Objects/Terrain

Terrain:
  • The terrain is in general nice, but not everything is worked out good
  • There are some spammed doodads (try to avoid that)
  • No terrain glitches

Objects:
  • Good variation in units
  • Enough upgrades for the whole game
  • The description could be better (a little "|n" behind the squad-text would do :p)
  • The models really fit in the map (of course...)
Overall

I liked some parts of it, but there is nothing that makes me go "Yay!" and make me want to play more.
I didn't see any real bugs, but you could add some more original things, maybe add a preview image, change the terrain a little (some parts are good, but some are monotone or have spammed doodads).

Rating: 3.5/5
Vote for Approval

Rating rounded down to 3/5
Reason:

There was nothing that didn't work, just work on the description and translate the german text, everything you've done now works.
The main reason to round it down, is the description.
