Current stage of the map: Late beta
Map is protected
Summary of the map/gameplay objectives
Pick a class, kill prawns, destroy Ziggurats, fight the other team to kill ANC Bosses, fight the other team to score points with a Rugby Ball at Hillbrow.
First team to 350 points wins. The gameplay cycle goes as follows:
1. Destroy a Ziggurat - an ANC will spawn
2. Kill the ANC - it will drop a Rugby Ball
3. Take the Rugby Ball to the centre of the map (at the Hillbrow Tower) and hold position to score points
4. Repeat
Each ANC (Boss) they kill gives +15 points. Each Rugby Ball has 35 charges - while at the centre of the map (The "Hillbrow Tower") the balls will convert one charge into +1 points every 2 seconds until that Rugby Ball is used up. Players can be killed while holding a ball, and then the other team can pick it up and use it to score points.
* Map features:
-AoS style creep spawn paths with a difference: There are two types of "lane creeps" which spawn: Type 1 are allied to the bosses and are hostile to ALL human players. Type 2 are allied to ALL human players. Line of sight is shared by NEITHER of these types with human players. Line of sight is given to EVERY player of BOTH Type 1 AND Type 2's Towers - Ziggurats and Police Stations respectively.
The creep paths are Type 1 (Prawns) vs Type 2 (Metro Police). Whenever a creep spawning tower is destroyed, the tower will relocated to a random point within 7500 of the centre of the map, thus dynamically changing the creep paths as the game progresses.
-The map contains three types of Runes: MOERSA DAMAGE, POES-GROOT ARMOUR and BLIKSEM VINNIG Runes. These runes give bonuses to the carrying player, but when the carrier dies they will drop the rune (if it has remaining charges) and other players may pick it up.
-Players can buy items like in normal AoS maps (Recipes etc) but the map has a new class of item: "Ammo". Each player can buy one different ammo at a time to compliment their playing style. Ammo is used up with attacks.
-Bosses and Type 1 creeps (Enemy) spawn with one of 9 random creep abilities - things like from extra fast, increased damage/armour, a cleaving attack etc. These are made known to players via a colour change in the unit's team colour.
Bots/AI/Computer Players are supported and are great for learning how to play.
Bots are programmed (in order of preference) to
A. Score points
B. Try survive
C. Take Rugby Balls to the Hillbrow Tower
D. Kill ANC
E. Kill towers
Bots also buy Gloves of the Rainbow Nation, and upgrade them to Cosatu's Equality.

Done
The category is now "Modern Warfare" - I wasn't sure what to put it as, because its basically "Sci-Fi Modern Warfare".

Systems

In working order, it would appear.
====
Gameplay
---
First, it's confusing to be dropped into. The map doesn't really explain itself besides telling you the main objective.
--
Agility heroes can't lose. Ever. Period.
--
The gameplay is very odd and objectiveless. Even with full teams it would seem like nothing is ever happening that anyone can explain or take credit for.
====
Graphics
---
Very basic, but it can be overlooked if the gameplay were made a little less dry.

Thank you for the critique - very much appreciated
What do you mean by that exactly? Are you saying that a back-story of sorts is in order? Or are you saying that the players should be told up front that its "((Bulls vs Sharks) allied to Metro Police) vs (ANC allied to Prawns)" in some manner? I'm not sure where I'd fit that in...the loading screen has enough text for the loading time as it is - I wouldn't want to make it more complicated. Any suggestions?
How so? I've tested a few games online and the heroes all seem fairly balanced... I've had a few people telling me that the Gamer Ranger's "Drunken Airstrike" is a bit imba, but I've put that down to teams (in my experience so far) clustering around Hillbrow, and have that sort of AOE skill as a deterrent to that sort of strategy-less strategy.
Would you recommend lowering the Agility heroes' strength gain per level? The main thing that distinguishes them is having no natural disables available. Perhaps their skills deal a bit too much damage?
One of the changes planned for the next version is to increase the level-skip requirement for the stat bonus and critical strike ("Lekker Skiet") abilities, so players can't just "pump attack damage", as it were.
Haha...
. Surely it's like "King of the Hill" with a few added twists? The map is designed to "self-regulate" i.e. ANC can be killed by the Metro Police without players being involved, so maybe that makes you feel that? I sort of follow what you are saying....but don't really have anything to say... if you could elaborate or offer a remedy it would be most appreciated.Ouch...haha...gameplay dry? Should the map perhaps be smaller? [EDIT] what do you mean by "dry"? The major criticism I've had of it in previous versions is that its been "too chaotic", and chaotic is pretty much the polar opposite of dry. [/EDIT] The map has been through quite a number of versions so far... it evolved from the idea of "Lets make a map where the players are BOTH allied to the one creep wave type, and BOTH enemy to the other creep wave type" then I had to implement some way of scoring so that teams had a clear objective and a way to win. As for graphics - do you mean that I should add more flair to spells?
All in all, thanks again for the constructive criticism - this is the first that I have received
