Format is: 300 Blast Them - #(number of the game)
Go on the board if you want to get admin.

This map is between a Hero Survivor and an ORPG.
Pick your Hero class, fight for Sparta and obey the last order of the dead King Leonidas:

Basically, what you will have to do:

Features
Game Modes
-3 different game modes
-Normal mode is the mode per defaut (see Quest Tree): complete game across all the map with a balanced gameplay.
-Original mode is a faster mode wich only happens during the Hot Gates battle, like the old 300 - Three Hundred maps. Quest tree is different there, and most of the available quests of the Normal mode are playable in a linear quest tree.
-Nightmare mode is, of course, the hard mode, with the same gameplay than Normal mode. But I also changed other things: creeps universes used are not wolfs, insects, bandits, persians etc... but undeads and demons! The map terrain is also changed, making the map a battle in a "End of the World" universe.
Quests
-Complete Quest Trees with random/counditions to make each game different
-Each quest has its own universe of creeps (animals, bandits, persians, demons etc)
-Each quest get its own boss
-Each quest success brings experience. If the quest can be failed, and that players fail it, you will launch a "survival" quest.
-Efficient AI for creeps, allied units and non-hero units to avoid micro-manage. Creeps are able to act with some intelligence (phalanx if attacked by ranged unit, dodge-jump etc).
-Proportional difficulty: the more the experience average between players, the harder the game is.
Heroes
-9 heroes with many spells and a different gameplay for each one.
-Each hero has a basic spellbook with abilities like Phalanx, Throw spear, Throw arrow, jump etc...
-Each hero has spells to learn (4 main skills of 6 levels). The average is 3 regular Hero spells and a fourth which grants a special spellbook with several other abilities.
-Each hero has a different role and gameplay.
-Heroes are unlocked if the loaded code provides a rank enough high.
-Hero list:
Spartan Architect
Spartan Blacksmith
Spartan Brute
Spartan Commander
Spartan Healer
Spartan Messenger
Spartan Rock
Spartan Strategist
Spartan Warrior
Save System
-Save and Load system your experience: a short code. This allows you to change of hero each game (and avoid a boring unic character).
-Experience brings up to 12 ranks.
-Each rank provides a general bonus (health, mana regeneration, move and attack speed)
-Ranks unlock hero class.
Hero Customization
-A system has been designed to allows you to custom some parts of the heroes.
-At the moment, Head, Helm and Cloak can be changed at the start of the game (6=>12 models for each part).
-Then you can build your own hero-design each game.
Realistic Equipement
-Your hero has two weapons: a main (spear) and a secondary (sword, etc...)
-You can switch between spear and secondary weapon.
-The spear can be thrown. To use it again, you must grab it on the ground.
-You can wear two secondary weapons (such as 2 swords) if you do not wear a shield.
-Of course, if you do not wear a shield, you can use some 2 hands weapons (such as Hammer, Axe).
-You can only wear a an armor (not 4 swords and 2 armors for example).
-Each hero can throw arrows if he has some. It's like a third weapon.
-Damage system: the more you strike, the more your weapon will be damaged and deal less damage. The more you are attacked, the more your armor will loss defence.
300 Blast Them is organized arround a quest trees: you will not play all quests in a game, but only some of them. The first quest is a random choice between four. Then, the quest you will get will change wether your last quest was a success, a fail, or, sometimes, an other random choice.

This map is protected by W3 Map Optimizer
If you do have any question about this map, simply send me a message!
The reason it is protected is only because of the optimization which grants a lighter map and, overall, a faster loading time. As a consequence, this prevent a part of the cheater to generate codes.
I will of course provide any code you want to know. Open source systems are already displayed on the board.

Tools
JassNewGenPack from Vexorian
Because the VJass from Vexorian is incredibly powerfull and the JNPG allows a lot of things, the map is edited with this editor hack.
W3 Map Optimizer from Vexorian
It grantly reduces the size of the map and the map loading.
W3 Model Editor
To watch models, work on nodes and textures...
Mdlx Converter
The most simple tool to convert models ( *.MDX <=> *.MDL )
Oinkerwinkle Tools
A complete pack of tools. I use at 95% the Vertex Modifier to edit models of the first version of Stars. All of my ships were made with this tool.
Mdlvis-(Bug) English version
The most simple and powerfull tool about models: create models, apply textures,optimize them and, more than all, animate them. Used for ALL my models.
Button Manager
The easiest tool I have tested to transform pictures into W3 Icons.
W3 Viewer
I use it to convert skin files (*.BLP <=> *.TGA, *.BMP, *.JPEG)
Microsoft Paint
Really! I use it to create all icons of the map. Simple and efficient.
The GIMP 2.0
The free competitor of Adobe Photoshop. I use it for textures more complicated than icons.
Widgetizer
Reduce the loading time.
