Castle Fight v1.13b

[gexxo]

i ve just update the map to the new version. Many things have changed, try by yourself

 

[Delerith]

I hope you create a single player mode for this map. Some amazing single player AI would make this game way better than it is!

8/10

 

[gexxo]

I have updated the map to the new version 1.04 which has A LOT new features, like
-a new race

where can we find all these updates?
by the way...awesome map dude!!!

 

[Fyren67]

you made a good job with this map is so cooooool.
good work are u making an apdate ?
9.5/10 very good

 

[Vex]

A very good map.

Game play is unique (at least for me).
Rounds are short so you don't get bored.
The AI works almost perfect as a supplement in teams.
Balance is good compared to the huge differences of all the units (not 1v1 ofc, but 3v3 or more).
Very addictive game play. Have not played another map as much as this one.. ever.

5/5

 

[Emperor_Jackal]

A fun spawn-based strategy to play.

Good

• Artificial Intelligence. This is the only strategy map I know of with a challenging AI.
• Wide range of unique races, each with their own strategies.
• Thoroughly balanced, with no clear 'imba' races or units.

Bad

• No tech tree. I could save up for the most expensive spawn if I wanted to. This makes the game lose a bit of it's long-term interest as you're limited to spamming a few different units rather than saving up for a really good one.

Overall I rate it a 4/5.

 

[Vex]

I don't mind the added freedom you get from being able to build what you want from the start. Atleast against human players, saving/building something expensive early on might cost you the game as the other can just build a cheap counter (dmg/armor wise or flying if ground melee) and possibly a second one to counter whatever is most likely to come out next.

But in 1vs1 games, it can get unbalanced. For instance Banshee against another that has no eary-use chaos/divine.

I never play with less than 2 or 3 on each team.

 

[VeljkoM]

Why didn't you upload 1.12 version?

 

[gexxo]

Why didn't you upload 1.12 version?

After a long time, here you are. v1.13b

 

[f0rsAk3n]

Dude! I've been playing this game with my friends and singeplayer for a long time!.
Really impressive map, you make models yourself?
Also good work on the AI!!! .
5/5 For me. Really awesome map.
Its constantly hosted on our private battle net server .

 

[Kamikaye]

A very good map. Many hours of nice gaming

 

[Urgan]

Gex, me and my cousin play this map on Bnet all the time.. its basically our DoTA... we're very addicted to it and we anxiously await your upcoming versions!

5/5 from me.. excellent game, with deep strategy required to win,

 

[KsatriaKOPI]

woo castle fight......

this map realy fun with cool gameplay. in indonesian this is the second of most popular maps, the first is Dota just for information.

eniwey good work for this map, keep update ok ^__^

 

[Joe-black-5]

I like this map a lot and play it all the time (one of the rare maps I play)

 

[Murcky]

This map is so awesome, me and my friend seriously plays it everytime we have the time to do so. Though I sometimes get annoyed cause the "Bots" are annoying from time to time. Anyways, thanks for the v1.13b

With all due respect, that's just not true. At all. In any way..... hav.... have you played Castle Fight?

 

[Urgan]

I doubt Emperor Jackal has

At least if he has, he just mindlessly spams units

 

[mfdsrax2]

very good and balanced game.
I like it!Very much!

 

[EMPerror]

well, yeah it makes sense to spam units...late game splash wins the game so if u have splash units it may be a good idea to spam them

back to the game... its awesome, balanced, and pretty tactical .

 

[Krachn]

Hi! i played this before although in the latest wc3 patch i just get send back to the host window? am i the only one having this problem?

 

[Dakadoon]

[VeljkoM]

On the official site is 1.14 version that runs on newer patches.

 

[Dakadoon]

thank you, VeljkoM :d

 

[A]mun]

Played it yesterday, still enjoyable like in the good days. The late game however gets boring fast imo.

 

[Lukas]

Great and fun map

 

[Human_Alliance]

Cool map

 

[BunnyAng]

I used to hate it every time the AI does this.

FBI: (I'm going to use RS!!!!)*5
Me: Use it! My tower's going to be destroyed.

10 seconds later, right after my tower goes down, then the AI used it.
I just hope the AI is fixed from doing that lol.

Edit: I can't test it. The Warcraft 3 won't load it. It just simply sends my screen up then back down again. Anybody know why? Help!

 

[mustafo]

I CANT START THE MAP, AND DONT HAVE LIST OF PLAYERS ;(

 

[KenkenLanang]

It's been long time~~~ Since i not play these games! Really fun both annoying :v ==

 

[kleinerhauck]

Still love this map and your original races! Kept me busy for many an hour.

FYI: Still works in reforged (as good as all other CF versions out there - a desync every once in a while, like with every map...)

 

[kleinerhauck]

Is it possible that the Eraser doesn't work? In a recent game I had 5 erasers on level 3 and only a few single enemy units died. I never saw all units of a type get killed. Is this fixed in one of the new version from other authors?

 

[Ralle]

In case anyone want to make their own version of Castle Fight. Here is Gex aka Jan's approval of doing so:

 

[kleinerhauck]

That's tempting! I suppose this is version 1.14 or so? So the synchronization, max round-time and cam height would have to be re-implemented. Shouldn't be a big deal though. I'd have a look and think about the effort.

...

So can I have the latest version to work on?

 

[Ralle]

I don't haven an open version of it in case this one is protected.

 

[kleinerhauck]

Ah, too bad. Yes, it is.

*edit:

So I took the terrain and object data from CF and I'm about to re-implement everything.
The basics (mode/race selection, attack, castles) are done already, as well as most races.

First of all I want to reimplement it like the original, with some bug fixes (stun totem lag) and some minor balancing (e.g. warlock AOE spell cooldown 12 -> 15secs, mushroom nerf, ...), and some convenience (cam reset, sync).
Then probably add some optional extensions.

Not sure if I can get it ready till Christmas though ;-)

*edit: Here it is:

Castle Fight Corrupted (beta)

Castle Fight Corrupted - well, not that corrupted (yet). I started this project November 2021 mainly to fix the stasis totem lag, which all Castle Fight players know too well. Since I had to re-program the whole thing, some more or less noticable details have changed as well. The gameplay is...
