History
Azeroth Goldrush is an altered Hero Arena style map for Warcraft 3 expansion pack, The Forzen Throne. It was first developed by DoOs_101 who made the original versions of Goldrush, a mini-game style map yet known to be. Now it has been handed to Jade Wars developing team, under the executive of DoOs_101. Under the control of this newly developer group, Azeroth Goldrush is focused to be more competitive, entertaining, and strategic. Our long term expectations is to compete with the most frequently played map, DotA Allstars and introduce Warcraft 3 gamers an online system which we call JadeRankings that introduces the players an exciting level of gaming.
Game Description
Azeroth Goldrush is an altered Hero Arena style map and can be played under the conditions of various game modes. The dimension of the map is 98x98, which suits the needs of an arena style. This map can be played by a maximum of 10 players that translates into 5 versus 5, other than that 4 versus 4 or 3 versus 3 can still apply.
The notion of the game is to start by choosing a hero from taverns that appear at the start of the game. Each hero has its own purposes, strengths, weaknesses, attributes, and unique skills. The success of the game is determined mainly by the cooperation of each hero in a team. As the battle between two teams strike hard, heroes will gain level and to a maximum level of 16.
Danger will endure in this flood of unstoppable battle, surviving from enemy heroes and the wilderness will be tough. Nonetheless, there are items that can support the needs of each hero and there are units that can be recruited from a Barrack, which can help each hero fight through the dangers.
Above all, the multiple game modes that make the game play under certain conditions will all deal with Gold Mines/Gold Shrines. These Gold Shrines will appear like a magical box that glows yellow and there are 5 Gold Shrines in the map. For each game modes, heroes will have to interact with these Gold Shrines and it can be done by using an ability called Capture (Hotkey: Q) which all heroes have. The ending of the game and a team’s victory will depend on the conditions that are applied by a game mode. Only 1 game mode applies to a game and can be done by the first player typing a corresponding short label of the game mode.
Game Modes
Conquest
String command: -co
There are two teams; each team gets 200 force points. The first team that causes the opposing team to lose their force points to 0 will win. A team can cause the opposing team to lose a force point in two ways. First, killing an enemy hero will reduce the opposing team’s force points by 1. Second, capturing a gold mine/gold shrine will cause the opponent to lose 1 force point periodically (the periodic time is determined by the game speed). If multiple gold mines/gold shrines are captured, the amount of force points the opponent team loses will stack, thus having more captured gold mines/gold shrines will cause the opposing team’s force points to lose faster.
Expansion
String command: -ex
There are two teams; each team must conquer all five gold mines/gold shrines that exist in the map. If a team conquers all five, there will be a 5 minute period where the opposing team have to retake over 1 gold mine, else they will lose.
Deathmatch
String command: -dm
There are two teams; each team will start with 0 score. If a team reaches the maximum amount of score, it will win the game. The maximum amount of score is determined by the game speed, the default maximum amount of score is 30. A team can gain a score by killing an enemy hero. A team can also gain 3 scores by capturing a gold mine/gold shrine.

Hmmmm, so the AI was for the defensive unit...
Well over all the map was pretty good, what testing I could do in single player was really impressive... The new heros are good but what I really want to see is proper player AI, I know alot of map makers don't like AI because it ruins the intended gameplay but I think it might work well in future versions...
If you do want to make AI for Goldrush, i could do it for you ( or at least give it a try ).
Give it a thought...

Hey thx for your help I'm actually making an AI for goldrush. Thats why I've been active in jass vault lately. The AI I've designed however is inefficient and takes up alot of space. Maybe yur expirienced enough with system AI designing? thanks, pm me if ur interested.

Hmmm,
i found a very strange bug.
I was playing with the team on the right and whenever I trained a unit it would join the left team, it would then mine the same goldmine as me just for the other team. It was also coloured for my team...

New version cool,
I'll cheak it out...
Have you ever thought of extending the terrain and adding more gold mines ( not carts ), missions and creeps?
It would be nice as the area is rather small and constant what with only one race of creeps at a time...
EDIT:
Played the map and I'm very impressed with the AI, however i did find a few bugs.
The leaderboard does not display AI hero Icons.
The leaderboard sometimes displays incorrect kills and deaths.
AI sometimes send miners at your base.
My townhall was attacked.
My units spawned for the opposite team.
Theres a typo in the ice mage hero where its says in the preview that her ultimate is Last Breath but the ability says Final Breath.
AI chooses heros before you, not a bug just very annoying...
Thats all I got at the moment, if you need any help don't be afraid to ask.

I played it again and :
- Azeroth's multiboard is the one giving problems.
- Azeroth miners and soldiers sometimes spawn at the Azeroth base, are coloured like thier proper owner and mine from his gold cart but belong to Lordoron ( to be more specific ).
The (x) gold to victory messages seem wrong, at 10 000 it says something like 10 000 gold remaining and is very confusing.
I could not exit the final cinematic.
Soldiers are too weak and being upgradeale would be nice.
It would be nice to be able to choose the number of required kills to win a deathmatach e.g -dm 99 .
Looking forward to v1.97

More things to note :
- The AI seems to not have a flee function, as they never run from a fight regardless of how low their health is.
- The soldiers sometimes chase enemies instead of protecting the miners.
- Miners can mine from creep inhabited mines, without wakeing the creeps. Which seems rather pointless to me.
- The "+1 Food" texttag is displayed to all players, fix this with
, where p is the owner of the killing unit. All your local player only actions must be inside the if and must be purely visual to aviod de-syncs.
Regarding the thread, inform me if you prefer me to post these messages there rather than here.

Lol, actually I removed music because I thought it was the trend of mapmaking. However if people think this map should be added music, atleast original wc3 music, then I will add it.

Well, you can use Razor Lame to decrease the quality and file size of the music file
It will become 200-300kb (32 br, 1-2 minute(s) duration)

Well the Game itself seems like a lot of work has gone into it, but there is a huge flaw in this all. You make it sound like your shit don't stink. You have a weird load screen as if im starting up some MMO. You try and pretend like this whole project don't even belong on wc3. I mean come on.. I laughed a few times at some of the stuff i read. You need to come down to earth or go code your own game.
3/5 game was blah nothing new really.

Okay, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND any of your words.
Write it in correct English, noobz.
IMO your comment doesn't content any useful points.
I see you like to abuse other user with your harsh and useless comments.

Ur right. That game stinks actually. The gameplay is flawed.
However, to be honest, just making this stinky game earns me 750 dollars already through google ads. The ranking system proves worthy, and indeed, it pwnz ur noobish comment.
