I've played the flash game Age of War 1, years ago. The first one. Reserved this post for upcoming map review

EDIT: lol, my new post is a map review.

Please know that one of the current map submission rules is to add screenshots.

Ok, sorry for the screenshot I haven't added before it released.

Outdated map review, version 1.0

	AGE OF WAR by bear_369 RATINGS Gameplay & Entertainment: 13/25 Terrain & Layout: 7/10 Doodads & Scenery: 7/10 Bugs & Consistency: 5/5 Total Score: 32/50 FEEDBACK Gameplay & Entertainment: This map is Age of War if you've played the flash games. It's not identical, but if you didn't read the title you would know despite that the map is not single/skinny lane as in the flash game (where one melee unit only hits one other melee unit at a time). Moving on, when I start the game, I quickly go to the quests if I'm playing a new map. Maybe the premise of the map is simple, but some have never played Age of War and would not know how to play. Add a quests log! Other than that, the start of the game works smoothly. You can expect relaxed gameplay in this map, as most offense maps offer. The idea of upgraded units besides a new age/tech is a nice feature that isn't in the flash game. It would be nice to have a description anywhere saying which units are better against others. The AI to be bland, has no skill. All 4 matches I beat the AI in less than... say 10 minutes (up to the beginning of renaissance). I feel like AI have different difficulties. Do they? As do for most maps, I played with against a player for a better experience. Overall the gameplay is average I recommend this to people who just go for a maps gameplay. The reason it's not a 15-20 score is because there were a few missed opportunities, such as adding rounds after winning, adding the abilities from the original, and custom models that could replace a lot of the strange standard units claiming to be something that was not intended for them. 13/25 ​ Terrain & Layout: Tile use in this map is pretty good for an offense map, it looks like you can do a decent underground melee map. That terrain copy x3 tho, it's interesting. Leveling is nice, I don't think the slightly raised ground in the pathway affects the range units. If they do, I'm sure it won't make much of a difference anyway. And for the layout, it's simple and works perfectly. 7/10 ​ Doodads & Scenery: I like the doodad placement here, the dark grey and blue theme is pleasing to the eye for a darker atmosphere. Not much to say here, above average. 7/10 ​ Bugs & Consistency: No bugs or spots where units can get stuck. Everything works how it's supposed too. 5/5 ​ SUGGESTIONS These suggestions are optional and some of these may be repeats. > Add the original abilities from the AoW games! > Add rounds, it's boring when you win fast and people will want to go up against a fair match > Some of the early unit models don't fit too much, it bothers me but this is just preference ​ VERDICT The only way a map can be approved is if it follows the map submission rules. You aren't following some. Therefor I vote for this map to await update before I vote for approval. Here are the rules you did not follow that holding it's approval back. I've taken these straight out of the map submission rules link. > "The Quest Log should contain the essential information about the map's gameplay." > "Protected/Open Source? Let the community know in the Hive description." ​ NOTES Overall the map is a simple offense map that some may enjoy. Please respond to the review if you have any criticism! (+2) Reputation points for taking your time to upload this map to Hive. Also notify me on this thread or by a message to tell when you have followed the rules. -SCN/ImDeluxeSP33some [TD]

 

[bear_369]

Thx for the map review
I'm gonna add some of the abilities in AoW, rounds, and others.(This might take few hours or more) for the next update.

Also, I have now read the map submission rules carefully.

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Alright. But you still do not have a quest log so I'm not voting for approval just yet. You have to make a trigger for it.


Also it would be nice to see a version number on this, doesn't have to be the map name but the file.

 

[bear_369]

The map haven't updated yet. I only edited the hive description. Sorry about that.

 

[bear_369]

New version 1.1

v1.1

	Age of War 1.2 by Bear_369 RATINGS Gameplay & Entertainment: 18/25 Terrain & Layout: 7/10 Doodads & Scenery: 7/10 Bugs & Consistency: 4/5 Total Score: 36/50 CRITIQUE Gameplay & Entertainment: This map is Age of War if you've played the flash games. It's not identical, but if you didn't read the title you would know despite that the map is not single/skinny lane as in the flash game (where one melee unit only hits one other melee unit at a time) You can expect relaxed gameplay in this map, as most offense maps offer. The idea of upgraded units besides a new age/tech is a nice feature that isn't in the flash game. Prior to the update, reimagined classic abilities were added to the game and it made matches significantly longer against AI, but are still relatively easy to beat. It seems toward the later ages the AI uses the abilities a lot less. Rounds also make it more enjoyable with more replay value. Upgraded future models are really excessively big, I'm guessing people would find it annoying. Overall organized gameplay with no major flaws. 18/25 ​ Terrain & Layout: Tile use in this map is pretty good for an offense map, it looks like you can do a decent underground melee map.

Not much to say here, above average. 7/10 ​ Bugs & Consistency: I did find that my medieval (maybe it was renaissance) ability disappeared in-game after using it once or when I upgraded something. That's all. 4/5 ​ SUGGESTIONS - Have the round system become a tournament system so you don't have to play the same person over and over - Don't make some units super big - Some models really don't fit in my opinion that I just searched up, here are my suggestions - Modern Soldier - Musketeer - Canon Team - Future Marine - Future Marine V2 - Melee Future Unit ​ VERDICT The only way a map can be approved is if it follows the map submission rules. - All rules are followed. I vote for APPROVAL​ ​ [TD] ​ [tr][TD] NOTES​

[tr][TD]Overall the map is a worthy offense game paying tribute to the original age of war. Feel free to contact me about this review, or to say hi! (+2) more Reputation points for taking your time to update the map to meet the Hive Workshop standards!

[bear_369]

Thx for a another review and sending a models which I can use for v1.4
About the bug, Do you have a opponent?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

No it was against AI, I was player red btw.


EDIT: Oh sorry I wasn't being too specific. It wasn't the ability disappearing in flight, the icon disappeared.

 

[bear_369]

Not only AI or players can use the ability. It can remove the Casting player's enemy ability and return the ability back to normal after the ability finished.
I'm not sure if you already knew this or not. Let me know

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

Hmm. Though it did seem it was gone for quite a long time.

 

[bear_369]

Did the icon disapear far too long after the ability has ended?

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

I'm positive it was gone for more than a minute until I upgraded the main building. If I'm being delusional, I'll gladly rate the bug consistency 5/5

[Deleted member 237964]

I like this map but few things really bothers me.

Bugs:

-Spartan models have lacks in death animation and it makes them looks messy.Maybe trouble is in death time? Maybe they need shorter death animation time or longer?

-Meteor strike bug.Durning 3-4 round whhen i launch meteor strike it dosen't stop to rain.it just continues over and over again.


Sugesstions:

-Fix the bugs i've mentioned and fix Grammar in Spartan age.I might be wrong but i'm 80% percent sure that it's "Spartan" not "Spartian".

-Are you sure that rounds are really good idea? I mean it's nice but everytime i win my resources are reduced to 100 gold and 0 lumber which make advancing into Spartan age almost impossible.Maybe don't reset rescources at the end of the round?


-Are you surel that tiger tank is best tank model for Modern age era? Look around.This site have a lot of good tank and vehicles models.Maybe you find something with better animations? Check this one:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ttle-tank-48652/?prev=search=tank&d=list&r=20
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/heavytank-162734/?prev=search=tank&d=list&r=20

-A random idea.Maybe add second world war age? Or first war world?

-Maybe use a simple guard tower model for medieval age and add Cannon model to renaissance age instead of using muskeeter model as tower?

-The last one.Keep making good work!

 

[bear_369]

Bugs will be fixed in the next version.

Thx.

The reason why that resources got resetted after you won or lose the battle, because some players or AI automatically upgrade their tower or base if they had enough resources from the previous round.

No problem.At your service.


And that's the point.Could mine and enemy resources stay untouched? I think it's good idea beacause me and enemy could finally reach another era instead of bein stuck in a stone age.

 

[bear_369]

Don't know if I would remove the trigger that makes the resources reset or not. Have you played the original game before?

[Melvic]

Awesome!

THIS IS GREAT!

 

[bear_369]

Thanks!

 

[cleavinghammer]

The AI used Meteor Swarm before the end of a round, so the game became an unbreakable stalemate due to the path being bombarded by an unending rain of meteors.
The AI has a tendency to waste its power when troops are already inside its base (and therefore safely out of reach), maybe make it start from the very back of the base?

[Velrog]

Judging by the 10 hours theme, I wonder... am I gonna play warcraft 3 or the flash game age of war???

 

[xXxMKDxXx]

Haha flash browser into wc3

5/5

 

[StoPCampinGn00b]

This thread has gotten a lot of attention, more than expected

 

[LordVandor1]

This game is awesome,a perfect "remake" of "Age of War 2" by MaxGames,a flashgames' web site.
I'm giving you four stars for this.
Why not five? I'll explain:

Right now,it is basically perfect. It is a good game to spend time with,even
better with friends...
But,as we're still playing Warcraft III,I'd like to see some Warcraft aspects in it.
For example...
Wouldn't it be awesome to see historic characters as heroes in this game?
Leonidas for the Spartan Age,Hitler for the Modern Age...
You could put them as an optional feature,and they could be the only controllable
people, or if you want you could do as they were normal units,but that can't hit the enemy base and just respawn at your base when they go near it...
And I...can't think of anything else than heroes right now.
But PLEASE let me know what you think about this!

 

[deepstrasz]

Well I can't get to upgrade to Spartan Barracks because I keep winning...

 

[bear_369]

Well I can't get to upgrade to Spartan Barracks because I keep winning...

The AI I make was very simple, making the other players to win easily. Fighting with other players would be more challenging if you want.

 

[bear_369]

New Update soon.

My apologies for not making some update for this map a very long time.

Here's the changelog for a 1.7

Changelog

v1.7
- New age: Middle Futurisitic Age.
- New Units.
[Units]
- Assault Drone: A decent drone that deals a bit high damage but weak against mass enemy units.
- Tank Drone: A high-health siege-type drone that can be used as a tank.
- Mini-Tank Drone: A low-health drone that cannot be used as tank but has high damage.
- Flamethrower Tank: Problem with mass enemy units? This tank can allow to burn enemy units to death but
only have a very small damage.
- Volt Drone: A low-health drone that can deal extremely high damage to a single unit but has a low attack speed. (Similar to snipers.)
======
- New Towers
- New Upgrades.
- Renamed Futuristic Age(Sixth Age) into Early Futuristic Age.

 

[Deleted member 237964]

I've been making maps like Age of War, but it seems i can't finish even one single map! I get bored sometimes... -_-
But it seems you did it! really like it. I'm gonna download this and play!!! =)

 

[bear_369]

You didn't answer to me :c

Sorry about that, Heroes are a great addition for the map but about their name, they'll only have a normal name. (Example: Modern Age Hero: Commander.) Working on it.

#antonio.piczon321
Thanks!




Some updates sooner or later.
