Angel Arena Balanced Edition


The new version of angel arena which is under development for over 8 years to get the most possible balanced shape.
Mixture of Warcraft heroes, End of the Ends Characters (my own game which I am working on), a few of DotA Characters, etc.
There are several people with which I could manage to edit and balanced this map, mentioning the most important ones:


  • Barret (Based version: Angel Arena Z)
  • Macrosh Nintinane (Avatarsonic99) the person gave me the idea
  • Hive Workshop users (Resources and models) I do not remember who exactly did which part, nevertheless, with all respect, I will add the exact resource to the creator if you introduce them ASAP; although they are mentioned in Map Info or better to say, Quests)
  • EternxlKZ (Music)
  • Two Steps from Hell (Music)
  • The Chest Members (Including both TCG and TCO) The ones gave me motivation
  • Old Garena and Atinad players (Testing map and finding bugs and imbalances)
  • Blizzard (Creating Warcraft III and World Editor)
  • Creator of New Gen World Editor

Recommended Version to play:
1.26a, 1.27a, 1.27b (You need a "no map size limit script" for all except for 1.27b)

This map is announced officially for over 2 years; nonetheless, I decided not to upload it until a good update with least problems is available.
I promise to update this map more often and be a better map editor on the condition that you support me and my maps.

You can also be in touch with me using my email and my telegram account:

You can also follow the latest news from the telegram channel:

I promise that this is not the last update I upload.
If you have any idea, resources, or you know any bugs or imbalances in the map, or even you know the creator of the resources and you want me to give them their credit, please be in touch with me. I will be proud of you guys.

Thanks for support from Hive Workshop and you guys. 🙂

Modes

For now, there are only normal and turbo modes which are available. Player 1 can active turbo mode using "-turbo" command in the first 15 seconds of the game.


How to play

First, you need to pick a hero and start farming for some golds. After a while, you can buy items from any shops in the base with which you can enhance your farming. Every 10 minutes, there is a team battle in which every player is contributed. Each of the players in winner team is rewarded with 1 Gem (Technically, lumber). You can use lumbers in order to buy elemental items from the elemental circle (to reach, you need to follow a muse door) and behind the tween gates (to rich, you need to go to the gate, or use recall ability and wait for more than 15 seconds); nevertheless, the ultimate gate, which is behind the twin gates, is open after you kill the gate keeper, the key keeper, the gate master and the key master.
After a while, you can buy a primary hero from one of the hero shops and go to the altar of power in order to receive their power; but keep in mind that your hero starts from level 1 (nevertheless, it is worth it).
After buying ultimate elemental items, you are able to kill ultimate hero bosses, with which you can have higher power to defeat your enemies. There are 3 sorts of ultimate heroes. Some of them are heroes of "End of the Ends", the game I am trying to create; some other, Warcraft heroes; and two of them, which one of them is not completed yet, is from DotA 2 (I didn't ask for permission from Icefrog 🙁😔 I do not have any idea that how can I manage to contact him/her).
BUT, TO WIN THE GAME, YOU NEED [NUMBER PLAYERS x 15] team kill.

oh... by the way, friendly fire is not allowed. 🙂

In addition, you can kill creep bosses to increase the amount of gold you take by killing the same type of creeps.

Authors

As far as I am concerned, the author of basic angel arena is Hex0r, who is not active in any gaming social media anymore; nevertheless, I used Barret's Z Edition for the basement of map. I also used my friend's guidance, who was called "Macrosh Nintinate" with the username of "Avatarsonic99" Everywhere. special thanks to every resource creators which I added them as assets creator, and many thanks to Icefrog for some ideas in his/her own map, and many thanks to "Two steps from hell" for good pieces of music some of which are used in the map, and SPECIAL THANKS TO BLIZZARD FOR CREATING WARCRAFT, WORLD EDITOR, AND THIS BASEMENT FOR THE CREATION!

Approved for legacy's sake. Quite unpolished, hero descriptions lacking or missing, abilities have the same description each level although the effect is not as written (for instance the furbolg's roar; 5x level attack but that's not what bonus is given).

Any permission from the original author(s) for editing/developing further?

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Angel Arena Balanced Edition
You can also upload your map here to generate a list: Asset scanner

Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Thanks for informing me. I have updated the description and assets resources. Please check them... if there is anything else that I need to add there, I do not hesitate to fix and add them.

Hey, that's good, although please do not add the resources as assets as they will be downloaded with the map separately, just add links to them instead.
Also, is this version considerably different from the original ones?

oh... so, I remove all the assets in order to fix this issue, and I will add the link you mentioned earlier in the comment.
And yes, almost everything is changed. From the beginning (Hero picking, heroes, gameplay mechanic, items) to the midgame (duel into team-battle), and end game (bosses). the only thing remains the same is the map name (excluding creep types which is also reworked in a balanced way).
As I have mentioned before, I spend almost more than 8 years to fix and balance everything.

Please, don't just add the view resources in use link, but make a credits list. Check how other map threads did it. The automated asset scanner can help make a list from the stuff used from the site by uploading the map to it.
