Thanks. As i think, map has more ideas from HoN, than from LoL (although she is very different from both games), but anyway i try to collect and create most good ideas from MOBA games and not only.

Look at unique heroes' concepts from my map, for example: Pastmaster, Mad Hatter, Lady Nothing, Manipulator, Oasis.

 

[DeathKing12]

Downloading and might play with my brother now ill try the solistice cause i left hon because that imba girl
i am very inspired by your hardwork to improve your map

 

[DeathKing12]

im trying to make a very good hero suggestion because until now im training to understand triggering spells

 

[Claw]

Thanks again. Also, my version of Solstice (Radiance) has a small bug in 4.6: AoE of ultimate spell very small on level 1, even if you cast spell all 4 seconds. But on level 2 spell's AoE counts correctly, so i don't think that's really needed hot fix now just for that, if i don't found more bugs/imbalance.

I know, that many people counts that Solstice is slightly imbalanced hero in HoN , he can do many things (stay in forest on level 1, gang from forest with aoe stun, help to team with good ultimate, be a not bad as carry) very good. Maybe it's true I think about it when i create my version. His ultimate is more weak. Even when i fix small bug in previous paragraph, you still need 4 seconds for full might of ultimate spell instead of 3 seconds, at least. Also, charge (first ability) can be countered by fast blink or run (charge ends immediately if enemy on very long distance)

Anyway, my favorite heroes in HoN is Solstice, Fayde and Artesia now. I change and create them all (not just them - BFS also has my versions of Lord Salforis, Prophet, Gauntlet...) and now i think about other games and my own ideas again.

About hero suggestions. I can check it, but i repeat, so that's not so needed. I has at least hundreds my own ideas and heroes from other universes, which i wants to unite in my game.

Even small donations can help me more (thanks for all, who do it). http://clawbfs.ucoz.ru/forum/2-149-1 Big donations can very add enthusiasm for me Also, some heroes (for example, Sky Herald) created after donations of people, who offered that heroes. But anyway, as i think, i will still work under my map. Just if people want more quality and quantity - they can help me. )

[Bloody Wolf]

Alternate avatars made this game unique and holy snot 156 heroes?

 

[Claw]

Alternate avatars made this game unique

Of course, in WarCraft III, but LoL and HoN also has alternate avatars for heroes.

and holy snot 156 heroes?

Yes. I make this map, because i think, that very many good hero ideas don't created in DotA, HoN, LoL and all other popular moba games - even some very good suggestions.
And also, my love is crossovers of universes. I try to create ultimate MOBA crossover from all MOBA games - most best ideas from all of them and good hero suggestions in dreams plus also my ideas (for example, Pastmaster, Oasis, Lady Nothing, Manipulator, Polymatrix)

Map just had three problems to be the really great:

1) Many peoples counts her just a not-interested "dota-clone", without checking all game conditions, all unique heroes, abilities, items... But often they can be persuaded.
2) I has very many ideas for heroes (invented by me and collected), but it's not so easy to me to put it all in one WCIII map. I not so bad in JASS now, but still isn't ideal in coding. Old versions has many problems with stable work, especially in netplay. Map lost big part of her popularity in time of some versions 3.xx. But now situation, too, at least, better even in that direction. I optimizing old code with each version.
3) Balance. Of course, it isn't so easy to balance 156 heroes (and more, and more)! But I don't need map with less heroes and variety, because we all know map with same genre and less heroes and variety - it's DotA. But i play many hundred games with peoples and try to improve balance, as i can. Also, -ban xxx command allows any player to ban any one hero, by using its number instead of xxx.

So, wait for more time. At least, map still created, because I like it.

Thanks for comment and rate.

[DrizztDoUrden]

Unballanced shitty map with lots of useless/imba items and heroes, bad terrain, no good-looking effects and spells, some abilities are true shit, when u need to right-click after cast. 1/5

 

[Claw]

with lots of useless/imba items and heroes

Examples? Anyway you can ban any hero in any game, and any hero can buy any items. If no examples - no useless/imba items and heroes.

bad terrain

Terrain at least isn't so bad and playable.

no good-looking effects and spells

No one? Even, for example, first ability of Tower Spirit? Even first ability of Tar Pit? Sorry, i don't think so. Also, spam of effects isn't main part of spells.

Some abilities are true shit, when u need to right-click after cast

Omg! That's unique system to choose two targets, and that system really more easy to use, as, for example, control of first ability of Grinex or Rally in Heroes of Newerth.

Anyway, thanks for you opinion and good luck at all.

 

[Claw]

Also.

when u need to right-click after cast

You don't NEED it. Second target becomes chosen automatically after brief period of time if you don't do that manually. So here isn't my fail, sorry.

 

[DrizztDoUrden]

Librarian is imba, not sure how he is called here, saw him in ru version, he 1shots anyone after sometime with his skill wwith damage based on ammount of books he read.

 

[Claw]

Thanks. These messages help me more.

Librarian was nerfed in latest versions.
Also:
-His nuke can be fully blocked with Oracle Scepter;
-Damage from his nuke decreased with magic resistance (so for enemy with big number of health points and magic resistance is hard to kill him from one shot - if Librarian can't do it, he isn't really dangerous);
-Under effect of magic immunity Librarian can't target enemy with his nuke;
-But i still think about rebalance his nuke: make less cooldown, but less damage for each book. Maybe even in 5.4.

Ideal counter-pick versus Librarian is Watermorph. His ultimate has also "linken-like" effect, so with ultimate and Oracle Scepter Librarian needs to break through two "linkens" for affect Watermorph with his nuke. And Watermorph can, like in DotA, transform his Agility to Strength and has so much health to can't be killed even if nuke deals damage. I test that in latest versions.

On emergency now: -ban 90 - and no free pick of Librarian in your game.

[neo_sluf]

good aos...

 

[I_am_Death]

what the...
did i see something wrong?
12 men and this map is 10MB :|
god...

 

[Brachyceran]

yea I see that 10mb too . isnt it true that max size for MP is 8mb ?

 

[Claw]

About size - look at "Netplay Instructions".
I needs big size of the map, because I try to create ultimate multiverse, at least for himself, with - in ideal - all heroes from all games, books and filims. Now map contains 162 heroes with 100+ alternate avatars for that heroes and very many fun names of characters from different universes, so it's ultimate game - again, at least for me.

I try to realize many original ideas, for example:
-Lady Nothing - hero without attack
-Genesis - hero, which can spawn neutral monsters, absorb trees with REMOVING that trees from the map, and create creeps with characteristics, based on manacost of spells
-Wacky Wheel - can transform Strength into Intelligence for enemies and allies
-Smith - can create and duplicate items
-Abnormality Goblin - hero, which can with his ultimate remove cooldowns for any hero on 5 seconds, but double manacost of his abilities
-Mad Hatter - can transform into item Hat
-Stone Panda - can disable items of enemy heroes
-Pastmaster - hero, which can provoke spells on himself (like Axe in DotA provokes attacks)
-Archdruid - hero, which can jump inside a tree
-Scoundrel - at least for his ultimate "Cut in Half"
-Tower Spirit - can move, heal and disarm buildings
-Nightmare Baron - with Spell Bash: chance to stun an enemy, when casts targetable spell on him

And that's only my ideas, but i also collect many good ideas from different games.
And that's not all, really not all.

I can't don't do it, because i want it. If I had more donate and helpers, I could create and collect more best ideas in one game, despite the fact that I'm not perfect in JASS.

But even if i stay alone, i will create my multiverse, because i want it.

Half of that is not original, like hero w/o attak is in RoW, stun enemy when casting targetables - zobies zombification in simpe aos and etc

ike hero w/o attak is in RoW

I almost did not play in RoW, so maybe, but that hero was in first versions of Battle for Souls, so it's not copied idea

stun enemy when casting targetables - zobies zombification in simpe aos

Zombie has hex, not stun, and when ENEMY casts on HIM. Nightmare Baron has stun chance, and when HE casts on ENEMY.

Anyway that's not all my ideas, features:

-hero, that can destroy 1-2 enemy's items in battle (with return goldcost back);
-hero, that can transform items into creeps with abilities based on their goldcost;
-hero, that can transform into ability on allied hero;
-hero with spell damage based on total hp/mana of units he controls;
-hero with spell damage based on total mana he regenerates in game;

and many others

ADd ai will yah it would be better that way because i play ALONE

 

[Claw]

it would be better that way because i play ALONE

Battle for Souls has always been good for single-player mode:

You can launch unlimited computer bots with -b and -c commands in single-player mode.

 

[matt5556]

Can you make the other side more corrupted because it looks like a non corrupted camp even though its the undead camp, I also gave you some rep

how to get god heroes

 

[Claw]

What is "God" heroes? All heroes in game are free to-play and can be picked from taverns (God of Twilight, Enchanting God, for example, are heroes with "God" with their name, but they are usually heroes, like all others). If you about alternate avatars, you can move your hero near your Circle and click on "Change skin".

 

[Plasma Boy]

Dude, this AoS can't be played in multiplayer anymore, because you can't host maps that are bigger than 8 mb, you should reduce the map size to 8 mb, otherwise it can only be played in single player.

 

[Claw]

Plasma Boy, read "Netplay Instructions".
It isn't hard to do that one time, if you like my map. I play with my peoples through Garena.
I anyway can't be in 8 mb limit more, because i want alternate avatars with different models, sounds; and many other features.

 

[Plasma Boy]

Fair enough, although it would be nice to be able to play it in multiplayer without hacking the game, but I understand your reasons to keep that size.
