Longer description of this map:
The main idea was to give units hero abilities to make the game more interesting and fun to play.
This however is not goes well, therefore I've added some custom abilities and such. This map is a heavily altered melee with completely different mechanics than usual, the map has a lot of custom spell scripting done already and still improving.
The races individually:
Humans:
They can start with footmen which have researchable bash and devotion aura, or riflemen which have storm bolt and true shot aura and avatar in tier 3. Footmen are good for early creeping, because a lot of them can constantly stun creeps, Riflemen is perhaps better for harassing. In tier 2 they have access to sorcs which have researchable brilliance aura and blizzard. They are necessary if you're going for casters because of the heavy mana use from the abilities. Priests have holy light and resurrection which can support the army very well. Spellbreakers can summon water elementals and phoenixes, though they require a lot of mana. Mortars can use flamestrike which can be a good for destroying buildings. Knights have use clap, devotion aura and divine shield. They are good for rushing into a fight. Tanks also have flamestrike and clap. Air units have been removed because it would have been impossible to balance (yet).
Orcs:
Grunts can use mirror image and wind walk, headhunters have critical strike, mirror image and endurance aura. Grunts can be good for harass, hh is better for creeping in the beginning imo.
In tier 2 there are witch doctors with hex and healing wave. They are meant to be supports.
Shamans have serpent ward and far sight, useful for map control. Spirit walkers can summon wolves and use hex. Kodos can use warstomp and can research big bad voodoo, making them incredibly useful for teamfights. Demolishers can use earthquake for sieging. Raiders have chain lightning, wind walk, and can also use reincarnation. Taurens can be good for sieging because they have shockwave. They can also use war stomp and reinc.
