Battle_of_Ashenvale is a Hero-Arena like map, where the goal is, to kill the enemy king. Players can choose one of the two faction, in this map : the mighty Horde or the noble Alliance, and pick a hero and fight for them. The game also has 3 original Quests with some nice bountys ( new Hero, loads and loads of gold, items and more ). There are 12 Shop Types in this map. ( examples : Potion Shop, Pet Shop ).
Resources :
In BoA the main resource is not only gold, like in other maps, but you also need wood ( which can be gained by killing units) to buy powerfull items or hire allies that help you in battle.
Battlefronts :
There are 3 ways to get to the enemy base/king. north way, middle way and south way. They are all different from another. ( Other units, etc.).
Quest
There are 3 quest in this map. In the first one you need to fight against a mad centaur king. In the second one, you need to kill a horde of wolfes and fight your way through a old cave to save an old allie. And in the third one, you will face a giant demon. Every quest has of course an unique bounty. So play the map and get that bounty !
Training Grounds :
If you are the type of guy that don´t like to go to the front of the battle and fight against other players, you can spend some nice time in one of the 4 training grounds.
The Heroes :
There are 39 playable Heroes. There is always at least one new heroe in every single update
Arena :
The Arena is a new feature in BoA. This Arena is not like other arenas where you NEED to join the battle, here you can choose if you want to enter or if you don´t want. However, you need to pay 100 gold coins to enter the arena. But if you survive till the end of the battle you will receive 200 gold coins. Now you are sure thinking : Will should I risk my life for 200 gold coins!? Well, if you kill a hero, you will get 100 gold coins + 300 gold! (arena kill reward). Then if you survive the whole arena battle you get more +200 gold coins. Total = 600 gold coins or more ( if you kill more heroes). Not much for you? Okay now "hear" this, there are 4 Creeps in the Arena that give a total of 200-300 coins, and there are other 5 Soldiers of the Horde/Alliance that give you a total of 50.
If you are smart ( or strong ) engouth you can make much money in the arena + kill the enemy heroes taking them out of battle for some time!
Now go and join the arena fight!
Resume,
Battle Time : 3 minutes
Hero Kill + Arena Hero Kill: 400gold
Arena Survive Reward : 200gold

WARNING : THE GAME SAYS THAT THIS MAP IS RoC BUT YOU WILL NEED TFT TO PLAY
Thanks
Not to be mean or anything, but I think you should get someone to refine your map's description (numerous grammatical errors) before I check your triggers and play-test.

this is a nice map, but how come both factions share the same "Demolisher" unit? because that catapult is really defined for Horde use instead of the Alliance, maybe try replacing it with the steam tank or the glaive thrower unit.
even without the use of importing some customs you just made your map really nice! I hope their is more modifications your going to make, keep it up! 10/10!

Hello
Well, actually the alliance should actually have the old horde catapult ( from RoC ). But somehow its turn into a demolisher cO. Steam Tank?? hmmmm yes that is very good idea , the alliance is in need of more dwarfs xD
Customs models will come very soon ( next version maybe
Anyway i thank you for playing my map DD
By the way does somebody know the name of the Night Elf King?
Thanks ;D
There is a way to return back the Catapult model from Reign of Chaos Patch, here's how it goes:
go to your units section from the World Editor and look for the Demolisher unit, inside of it you can see "Art - Model File - Extra Version" like this one for example:
Go tick it. and then you will see 2 classifications for the unit/model, just go tick the ROC version and there you can return the old models from the Frozen Throne Expansion, here is an example:
I hope this helps, by the way, about an Night Elf King? hmm, not sure if there is one, I only know 1 Leader named "Furion Stormrage", he's not a king but a elder druid for their race.
Ooook, You are going to see a catapult at the side of the alliance in the next update ^^
And thanks for helping me
Yes I know that Furion is a leader of the Night Elfs, but I want to know the name of the boss . Im thinking about taking Thrall and Furion out of the Map and putting Garrosh and the Night Elf Leader in their place ( or maybe the actual leader of the warsong clan and the leader of the silvermoons )
EDIT : oh, im sorry orcnet but i forgot to change the catapult model :/

I'm not sure if I'm breaking the balance between the time lines of Warcraft, but I think its better to use the aggressive leaders of both factions such as Admiral Daelin Proudmoore and Grom Hellscream, even though their already dead. but If you want the present-time leaders, I guess Garrosh Hellscream and King Varian Wrynn can fit the position?

Just tested the map and i must say very entertaining gameplay
However there were a two things that bothered me..
The catapults have longer attack range than the towers, so that when all the creeps are dead the catapult fires at the tower for like 30 seconds until the next wave comes:/
Also the armor merchant sells items that give +3 str and +3 Int but no +3 agi :O
But still very nice map

Hello there and thanks for testing
The catapult attack range is meaned to be so. So the catapult are more important in the battle
Okay gonna add the +3 agi item ;D
Played 20 minutes
Took Priest
Cheats used -> Map, Gold and Daddy
Terrain
Not quite good, blizzard cliffs all around, square-ish map Poorly terrained.
I'm not here to tell you what you have to do, but I think you need to improve
the terrain a whole lot.
Units
Seemed to be varied and useful with working skills.
Towers have a lot of hit points and it's long to go to the final boss.
Creeps are in bunches, which makes it hard to farm them.
Items
RoC Items, you should make a shop area, not split it from one side to the other (even with the teleport).
You probably want to make the pricing of your items better. Gem of truesight at 200g is cheap.
Heroes
I only tried the priest and it wasn't that cool. I didn't try all the lanes, I kept the top one of the elven side and
it was as if I wasn't there really. Couldn't keep anything alive and protection weren't effective.
It needs improvement, I see that's the version 0.5 so it's far from completed.
So keep improving and make games less long by increasing movement speed of units and reducing tower health.

Hello there.
First of all thanks for testing and commenting
Terrain :
I know the terrain isn´t perfect but its acceptable don´t you think so too? Of course I could improve the terrain and try to make it better with every version. And what do you mean with "Blizzard Cliffs" ?
Units :
A Tower with 8.000 hit points is not easy to take down but its not impossible! Keep your catapult alive and protect your units and take another hero with you and the tower is gone be destroyed easy.
"The creeps are in bunches." Well maybe the wolf area (60 wolfs ), but the other ones are full with spawn points so that never 10 creep would stay side by side.
Yes its hard to reach Furion/Thrall but if it would be to easy it would be boring ^^. Another question, have you played alone? The game experience is differtent if you play with more people.
Items :
Yes you are right about that
My map needs more custom items. Thanks for the advice and I m also gonna check the prices ^^
Heroes :
Its sad that you only tested the priest :/
Im gonna check his abilities. But you said that it was as weren´t you there...Maybe the priest is in need of boost in his heal abilities
Again thank you for reviewing my map
Last question, why did you used cheats to test my map o_0 ?
Hmm... This looks interesting... I'll check it out.
Btw, I really don't think it is such a good idea to put so much of your description in hidden tags, since it makes all of the letters really small and everyone has to go through and click all of those buttons.

Uh, no, not really. I was saying that you shouldn't use that many hidden tags. Just use them for screenshots, not everything. I'm actually one of those people who dislike a lot hidden tags unless you have screenshots, triggers, really long quotes, really long explaination, etc. What you have under these hidden tags isn't really much to hide.
I just recommend you don't use them for a few sentences and what an ordinary map description should have. It could be OK to hide the credits though.
Good Points Every lane has different unit types in it. Custom models for icons. Unusual.
Bad Points The heroes take forever to revive! A very, very powerful Dragon appeared in my base mid-game and started killing everyone. Gold comes in way too slow. None of the abilities I saw had descriptions that told what they did at level 4. The Alliance can raise skeletons and the Horde have Undead Necromancers. I found that kind of odd. No camera pan when your Hero dies. Not many item drops, at all. Custom heroes that had the exact same spells as melee heroes. The "lanes" of most AoS maps have room to move around a little. This map limits you there. Not much room to move and using walls makes the terrain look kind of simple. The base guards are completely blocking some of the ramps, so it isn't even usable.
Bugs Did not find any bugs.
Overall Opinion Overall, I've seen better. Please improve the gameplay by fixing my Bad Points. I'd say [highlight]2/5[/code].
First of all, thanks for reviewing the map Slayer14.
My Questions and what im gonna do thanks to you
1 : The Heroes take 1 minute and 30 seconds to revive.. Is that too much ?
2 : The Green Dragon is an event...and I don´t think that he can destroy the whole base in 2 minutes. ( He changes place every 2 minutes btw. )
3 : Good... What you suggest ?
4 : Oh, just checked that. Gonna improve ALL spells descriptions.
5 : Yes I find that odd too, but I haven´t found a good model that can be used as summon unit for the Summoners.
6 : Its going to be made
7 : Same as point 6
8 : Gonna add more custom spells
9 : Im working on the terrain
10 : Im sure that you meant the "royal" guards defending Furion / Thrall. You don´t really need to go to your King in the beginning and you can use the teleport to get to north / south of your base.. And if your king is attacked, the guards around him move/attack so that you can get to him and also defend him...
Thanks again and please review it again when I improve the gameplay by fixing all those "Bad Points".
WarCoelho
Edit :
Information :
Im working hard on the terraing right now. All other bad points have been removed / fixed!
Because of that HUGE changes, i´ve changed the name of the map, description, history, factions , etc. The name is now Forest of Naturz ( FoN ). In the previous versions it was called Battle of Ashenvale and the map was "based" in the eternal battle of the Horde and Alliance in the Forest of Ashenvale ( Warsong Gulch ). Now it is based on its (my) own fantasy world. So expect huge changes in the map when the next version come out! New unique heroes, items, quests, units and more
Terrain 3/10 - Basic AoS
Concept & Idea 4/10 - Try to separate from the common AoS.
Triggers 0/10 - Need the uncorrupted version.
Object Data 6/10 - Could use better description and work around the spells and units.
Overall Map Data 5/10 - Could use more custom resources and better placement.
Estimated effort spent into this 7/10 - You did spend time on this =)
Playability & Improveable 5/10 - It is fun and has some good events but could be better.
Overall Mark - 30/70 - Close but not approved/didn't pass my review.
Any questions about the review, just ask and I will answer.
Suggestions -
Update more often, maybe add a video?
More events and better customized items and spells.
More object data.
Better triggers.
Clean up the map.
Terrain:
A little bit flat. Some regions are realy empty and the lanes are little bit stuffed. The tiles need some variations.
Heroes:
I played the "Defender".
He is just the mountainking with a different icon for the hero and a different icon for the avatar ability.
Icon and model does not fit together.
--> Lame
Items:
I don't find any custom item - just one or two with slight changes.
Gameplay:
The tooltips are generaly good, but you have to change all tooltips. Because the tooltips you did not change are in a diffrent language if the user has no english version of warcraft.
Global experience is realy disturbing.
Why are there billions of units stuffed between the lanes? It looks like you had no idea to fill the rest of the map.
The file name is too long. This map is not playable for many people.
My suggestion: BoAp0.6
