It's here! It's finally here. The one, the only, Balance Wars. The map which is already being called 5x better than Footmen Frenzy by so many people, has come to www.wc3sear.ch. Balance Wars is "Ready and set to dethrone Frenzy from its dominance in Footmen maps."
Balance Wars is a Footmen Wars-like map, although it is far different from any other. You can choose from 1/16 duos. Duos are combinations of two units (such as Footmen and Riflemen), so you work with two types of units instead of one, which greatly increases the depth. You can even select the Random Race, which allows you to use all 32 units (Every time a unit spawns, it is totally random; this is TerranUp16's exclusive algorithm). There are also 50 heroes you can choose from, and you might get lucky and get the secret random hero. Heroes are not overly strong, and actually take on a support role as opposed to a "one-man-army" role. They are still quite effective (all the custom heroes have custom spells, ranging from Nuclear Strike to Lightning Storm). Heroes will play a large role in the battle, but will not win it for you. Each race has at least 4 upgrades (Attack, Armor, Special Race-Specific, and Hero), and some, like the Necromancers and Banshees combo (who rely on the Banshees possesing enemy units, or having the Necromancers raise the dead) can also research a Skeleton Upgrade, which allows them to make the Skeletons they spawn stronger. This also greatly increases depth. The game is extremely deep, as battles are large, and it actually matters how you deploy your troops and where you place them. Letting yourself get flanked could be disastrous, but if you can manage a two or even four-pronged assault on an enemy, you will have a much greater chance of winning the battle. You can even purchase units from shops. Need some artillery? Go buy some. Need a Priest for healing? Go buy one. Need air units? Go buy them. The game offers a diverse array of unit duos, heroes, and a staggering amount of strategies, that even though I created the map and have been testing it for over 6 months, I still feel like a noob with all the possible strategies. Balance Wars will not dissapoint you.
