AniMa War Ex V0.2b BETA [1.29+ Only]

[nhs325]

Err, so the map show up blank when i'm choosing it on the custom maps, like there's no Team 1 Team 2 thing, that's strange because the alpha works fine for me. You sure this map works for patches lower than 1.29?

 

[Shinejack]

game not found??

Ah i forgot to add on the post, it's 1.29 only (I assume, because i use its new features), if you have 1.29 and it's still not working just say

To help you add all the other people necessary in the credits list.

It's difficult to properly read the text on the loading screen because of the image.
I think you might be able to remove the Select User in the Tavern altogether, or hide it somehow.
Might want to shorten that hero cooldown.
The camera should be on the hero after selecting one, not centering the shops. The hero was somewhere out of the screen to the south.
Terrain layout isn't impressive. It's straightforward/linear and lanes are close each other.

Overall, a cute Anime DotA which mostly need work on hero balance. Very important to know what items also do to them, how movement and attack speed are affected as differences between agility, strength and intelligence heroes.

Awaiting Update.

Thanks for the review, i'll take it all in to consideration when working on the next vers.

As for the map, i do have plans to expand it and add extra mechanics but yeah as is it's indeed very basic

 

[deepstrasz]

Changes made,
Approved.

Tested about 4 or 5 heroes while playing. Here is my review:

Terrain - 4/5 (looks great but there some areas that could use some work like the bottom side of the map on the third lane, if you move the camera a little bit more down, the cliff actually covers everything. Also some trees are penetrating some of the walls.)
Items - 5/5 (basic and advanced items, work well with the heroes)
Spells - 5/5 (beautiful effects used, good synergy between the spells of each hero and most importantly, no giant effect spamming as in any other anime map)
Heroes - 5/5 (Rem and Ram are my favorite, that duo hero thing; I like that you made their voice set based on the anime)
Gameplay - 5/5 (Neat and enjoyable, the AI seems good enough for singleplayer testing too; what should be changed a bit, are the towers's damage, in early game they look like one shot from them can instakill a hero but a creep not?)

-What needs to be improved : multiboard - the numbers are not aligned with the description of "kills" ; "deaths".
hero selection - It would be nice if the hero will be auto-selected after you pick him/her.

Overall, although you put the "beta" mark on this map, it doesn't look like that. My rating from me is 5/5 + 4 reputation points. Aside from all those anime maps, I enjoyed playing yours a lot. P.S. This AoS anime map is better than DON Battlestadium in my opinion

So where can I suggest more characters? Can you put EVA-01 or Jotaro Kujo in the map?

Well most discussion goes on at the facbook page, as for those two, Eva-01 will just be plain awkward so it'll take a good skillset, Jotaro is basically already considered i may add him soon

 

[The10th-X]

Updated the the small revision #1

Spoiler

-Reduced Okita's ult damage down to 100/150/200 + Distance modifier from 200/300/400 + Distance Modifier
-Reduced Chloe's ult down to 60/90/120 per hit from 110/140/170 damage
-Reduced tree clutter around shrines to make them more accessable
-Fixed and improved the Leaderboards looks

 

[The10th-X]

Spoiler

Starting work on CTF mode's first map, as i said before somewhere this map isn't solely AOS, i intend to make multiple modes with multiple maps that is choosable at map initialisation.
This map will feature a lava based map, with traps that are usable (Destroying bridges, forcefield for flag, jump pads, flame traps and such, each with cooldown), all just what i have in mind atm but yeah

 

[Deleted member 247165]

Keep working It's nice to see so much devotion for your map. Have you thought about including other characters from popular anime? Naruto and Dragon Ball Z are good examples.

Mainstream series are always considered, it's a matter of getting models mostly and making a nice skillset, I've been planning an UI Goku for a while just a matter of execution, Naruto wise, he's got so many similar abilties and so many powerups it's kinda hard putting the right things in to a skillset

 

[Deleted member 247165]

Not that hard. But will be great. I'd love to play as Sasuke or as Vegeta (my favorite ones) I know it takes time with an AoS, but it's great when you achieve great things in it

 

[The10th-X]

Upcoming hero pest, i'm working hard on 0.2, the new CTF map and mode is complete and in testing; 1/3 heroes are done, new items are tba however there is a lot of bug fixes and balances coming also, as well as a lot of other core gamplay improvements

Spoiler: CTF Map Preview

Also i've made a new AOE target circle, nothing amazing but here -

Spoiler

 

[AogiriTree]

Keep up the good work 10th hope to see new updates for the mod soon!

 

[The10th-X]

I've released v0.2 on the main post, quick changelog

-Two new heroes, Sasuke [Boruto Ver], Pest [Mondaijitachi]
-Shrine system improvement with boss summoning:
"New to 0.2 is the boss summoning system, in the centre arena of the map there are 4 circles of power that will light up when the corresponding shrine has been activated (E.g. NW Shrine activates the NW circle), once all four circles have been lit up Gilgamesh will spawn in the center of the map, when killed he will give a Gold bonus, give everyone a buff and drops the item "Flower of Immortality"."
Once the boss is defeated, the shrine sentinels will be destroyed and the system will reset."
-New CTF Mode:
"Capture the flag mode, it's a straightforward mode, you are placed in an arena with two opposite castles, enter the opponents castle and get their flag to yours to get a point, reach the point limit to win.
It's not that easy however, anyone holding the flag will constantly be hexed, each team can activate a forcefield around their castle to keep anyone in or out, and levers can be used to destroy bridges across the map to prevent passage."
-A tonne of bug fixes
-A tonne of rebalances to both heroes and gameplau
-Probably some more i forgot (I lost my changelog halfway through, but there's too much to go over, just think of this as a new map altogether)

I decided to release it for one reason really, with the announcement of reforged i've been on edge about continuing this project until we get solid information on custom map treatment, and to what extent it will be fine to import them, i know this is probably needless worry but i'm just the type that loses all motivation to continue something if it turns out my work was for nothing.

Anyway, if you guys play and encounter bugs i will at least fix those whilst waiting for more news, this is probably the most tested version so far but even then there's going to be bugs, i rarely can gather enough people to do a small test let alone a full lobby one.

You listened to my suggestion? added Sasuke. Gonna try it

 

[AogiriTree]

Great work on the new update i love the boss and the buffs he gives its really over powered also the new heros are nice although i think Pest is going to need a nerf she is really powerful. If i may suggest a champion that i would love to see be released sometime would be Scathach from Fate Grand order would really be awesome to see it. Keep up the great work

Thanks, Pest was quite a slippery slope* for balance because of how all her skills work, i'll see if i can do something about it

 

[AogiriTree]

Pest is my favourite champion at the moment this is really the best map i have ever seen gameplay and graphic wise.

You listened to my suggestion? added Sasuke. Gonna try it

League of Kalimdor 2 is fun and all but iam biased towards how much effort 10th puts in on the anime characters in his AOS it is truely amazing even the voices are perfect <3

League of Kalimdor 2 is not anime, darling. Btw, a lot of effort was put in it too.

I didnt say Kalimdor is anime man think you read wrong i said the reason why Ainma war is my favourite map is cause iam biased towards anime i have played Kalimdor it is not a bad map.

Worn Band is giving Agility instead of Strength
can't find Trident item for the Vorpal Blade

It's a nice and fun game, to be honest. Hope to see an update soon.

O-o can't believe no one saw that when we're testing, will have it fixed in the next update

The trident is in the secret shop, on the bottom left lane and the top right lane, though i think i may move them to the BL and TR forest areas for visibility

Ah okay, will fix in to the minor update

 

[Daffa]

Liked the new update. I made a gameplay video of it even
Anyway, it takes some time to adapt to item building. Found hidden shop by accident
Unless I misread, Lantern still wrote 50 damage per second.

Hidden

EDIT:
Played with 1.30.4 patch.

[Lone1Coww]

just tried the capture the flag mode it was impressive. from the map to the model. I love the attention to detail. though the bot cant seems to pick up the flag. hope it got to improve in general but overall. it was a hard 4.5 / 5 . keep it up the amazing job.
