I will test it soon. The screenshots look like those 300 spartans maps.

 

[towerdefence]

persian always Can win vs Room!!!(lol)

 

[Narrat0r]

While I was slaughtering them, I was sayig: This... is... SHWOOP DA WOOP! LOL good map

 

[Palid]

Well I like this map. It's kinda hard, but it's OK. You just need to figure out how to play it.

Well basically it IS one. Back then when I tried some of them I thought that they've wasted a lot potential with the scenario, so I started my own where I try to encourage team play and reaction based combat. Thanks for testing, any feedback is welcome!

 

[VampireofBlood]

nice terrain
but its protected

If you want an unprotected version of the map just contact me with a PM and the reason why you want it (learn, enhance, etc.)

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Ok tested.

The hero choosing was done well. There were lots of models and they were used well. I loved the Phalanx-Attack combat system thing. It suited well on the map. The items were great and the music suited for the map. There were no typos, very good. It can be played in multiplayer or singleplayer, awesome.

The terrain was nice but could still be a bit better. Awesome game you made. I love it.

Rating: 4/5

 

[oddsocks]

This looks frigging fantastic, will download and test.

... Wow, that was great, everything worked nicely, nice use of models, nice object editor work, great concept with the blocking. A few extra spells would be nice but otherwise fantastic. Very approvable 4/5

 

[Coffein]

Thanks a lot for the feedback. May I ask if you have any suggestions for future versions? Also how long did your survive on test play?

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Eh, i died after 7 minutes XD. It's pretty challenging alone.

 

[oddsocks]

1 survived until about the 5th wave.

 

[Latecat]

Very nice map. I like it.

You could add a skill to punch the foe with the shield aswell.

5/5 +rep.

Thanks, that skill actually already exists , you get it once you buy the "Stoneheart Bracer" (Shield Bash)

You've probably subcribed to the thread or something..should be possible to unsubscribe somewhere in your User CP.

 

[TheHunterKiller]

Hey. The patch broke your map D:. I hope you can fix it soon.

 

[VampireofBlood]

I think it was removed from the mods.

 

[DarkIron Dwarf]

It is pretty entertaining that is for sure. Though I could swear it is lacking something not sure what but it is. Maybe more waves of troops? Or a wider variety of attacking soldiers. Other then that pretty dang fun.

 

[Tha Flamestorm]

[Coffein]

Well unfortunately no, that's just how blizzards update system works. 1.05 can still be played though and can be found at http://www.mapgnome.org.

 

[Wildcard]

Love the map,
it has pretty much everything you could wish for
in a action-combat-style map:

well-designed items and character classes,
well-balanced singleplayer,
and lots of fun to play with your friends!

Definitely deserves 5/5.
..but hey, I might be biased, for I betatested & helped balance it ;D

at any rate, thanks for this great addition to the WC3 map pool
and keep updating!

cheers.

 

[Cinnamon]

This map is really great.

I enjoyed playing it. Most of all i like the blocking and the backstab system because it makes this map very tactical.

The artefacts and upgrades gives this map a little rpg part so you can improve your spartan.

I think this map is the perfect combo of tactics and action.

[jltan89]

really cool map, 1 of the best 300 maps i've played.
Keep up the good work, hope to see updates soon.

Also, after playing with friends, there is some issues that really bother our experiance.
The shortcut key for Throw Spear or Sheild Bash (or that skill slot) is kinda far, (shortcut key: Y) Its workable, but would be better if youchange it to, Q W E R, any of these would do.
Boss's Knock back, we kept getting knocked back into the mountains and bugged the game.

Thats most of the issue i've faced.
hope to see new implements and also keep up the balance between gameplay, difficulty and learning curve.

"Boss's Knock back, we kept getting knocked back into the mountains and bugged the game."
____________
The Mammut(hope thats right in english, i mean that Elephantthingys) makes the same too! D:

 

[rion89]

me and my bro played the map and found out some bugs:

-elephant knockback knocks our characters on top of the cliffs. [stuck characters]
-first boss randomly jumps on top of the cliff then magically disappears. [maybe hidden in the fog. ill try to simulate this again in single player]
-random 'block' status on second boss, even though we're not blocking. i know that the heroes were supposed to 'unblock' after every hit but it says 'block' even though were not.
-bugged terrain [sides of the cliff - maybe make this unpassable terrain or revise the clifftops]

i'll try to find out more. i've reached cyrus the mad in singe player mode [no cheats] using owl and his imba farming skillz. then i got squished. -_-

 

[Cweener]

Needs fix.

Please add to your description, so I can properly review this.

 

[guiltyz]

My friends and i had fun playing this map, we completed it and got disappointed after finding out it was only a test D:

There were a few major bugs though. For one, u can get knockbacked by the bombs to the cliffs and u'll just get stuck there. Also, the last boss(demon maiden?) would get stuck behind the cliffs and it was quite troublesome trying to lure it near. That's all i can remember now, other than that, awesome map

 

[Pluvius]

so much potential in this custom

Hi coff any later version after 1.07 i?

enjoyed this.

I know this has been a long time, but you didnt reply my email to you long time ago.

 

[Sirmarkis29]

this map is fun, hard and excelent to play with some friends. need some bug fixes but is a 5/5 map for sure.
