About
Arena of Ancient is a recreation of StarCraft 2 map with the same name made by totemhokem. The main idea of the map is to pick a hero and defend yourself against hordes of infested enemies while upgrading your hero the way you find most fitting. Warcraft 3 version of the map is pretty much a completely different take on that formula with all of the mechanics created from scratch, while the main idea remains in-tact.
Map Features
> 8 Player Co-op survival.
> Various StarCraft and Warcraft III heroes to choose from. Current version of the map has 40+ heroes that you can play and master including workers that are able to build structures as well as air heroes that can support teammates from the sky.
> New quality landscape textures. Every landscape texture is created specifically for this map and uses original StarCraft 2 materials.
> 100+ different items. Some of them give a raw stat boost while the other ones provide with some special benefits.
> Item Enchantments. Each item can have up to 4 random enchantments. While majority of them are beneficial, there are some that will provide debuffs to the player.
> Talent system. After surviving wave 30, Talent system is unlocked, providing an opportunity to try out different play styles in future attempts.
> Map selection. Currently there are 3 playable maps with different objectives and ways to survive.
> Unique abilities and upgrades. Each upgrade has its own unique behavior, opening up different ways of playing the game.
> Infinite Exponential upgrades. Each hero has 6 basic upgrades (Attack Damage, Health Pool e.t.c.) that Player can upgrade indefinitely, creating a possibility of fully customizing the hero you're playing as.
> Challenging game balance. Infested units are also become better in both quality and quantity. Amount of enemy units on the field is fitting to StarCraft 2 standards (a lot).
> Restart mechanic. There is no need in re-making the lobby. After a loss game will restart itself automatically.
> Working save/load system. Seamless save/load system that is based on the TriggerHappy's work. No need to type in any commands. Everything loads automatically.
> And a lot more!
