Battle of the Teutoburg Forest 1.3

[Adiniz / Imemi]

It's a nice map, and having AI is a great bonus. It's just a bit lacking in terms of tooltips and custom units/content.
I recommend giving the heroes some custom abilities.

thx it is really simple at this point. I have added a custom Hide in Trees ability for Germanic units.

I will think about more custom content.
Custom spells should be usable by AI somehow.

Very good work, I suggest that it can be made into a campaign , the protagonist is Arminius,

I thought about this but you would lose the ability to play it with friends. Not sure yet.

It's supposed to be a historical battle but the gameplay implies magic (regular Warcraft III abilities too). Way gates also don't make sense.
Roman heroes don't have glow. How to add Hero Glow without Modeling
So while, it's has nice terrain, can be played in multiplayer and has AI, the gameplay is not different from the original game's. In terms of altered melee it's kind of reskinning/recycling.

Simple.

Well I won't remove hero spells/abilities only for historical accuracy. Makes no sense for me. Think of it like a reinterpretation of mythical elements. It would be the same if someone made the battle in Age of Mythology. The way gate makes sense to connect the top base with the two bottom bases. Otherwise, Romans can simply focus on the top base and it will be harder to get help (only scroll of town portal).


I will try to fix the hero glows.


Update 1.3:

• Fix hero glows.
• Improve tooltips.
• Add German translation.
• Fix Archer's mana in Ready form.
• Fix hotkeys.
• Fix icon positions.
