Coming of the Horde 23.9

Coming of the Horde 23.9

Designed and built entirely by TheBronzeKnee (USeast)

A protected, multiplayer only map that blends elements of DOTA, Warcraft 3 Ladder, and siege maps (Helm's Deep), Coming of the Horde allows players to rewrite the history of the 1st and 2nd wars in Azeroth and Lordaeron.

Quite unique, addictive and refreshing in the current land of quickly made maps, Coming of the Horde was an idea that took two years to reach 1.0, built totally in secret. The map doesn't load slow or lag ingame, is fairly simple to play and has huge replay value. It takes about an hour to play a full game.

Enjoy.

12:58, 16th May 2015 StoPCampinGn00b: Despite its average looking terrain, it's balanced and innovative (at the time before others have mimicked this classic) nature helps earn this map four stars. Sure, the geography is a little off and sure...

Really great map you done here Bronze, i keep hosting it weekly :)

A few things if I may, I think Rhonin need to be seriously nerfed since his mana bomb (which u buffed for unknown reason) can deal unreasonnable damages to orc canon fodder and heroes alike. Its fine if he remains as tanky as now but this ability is completely abusive.

Also you might want to rework heroes based on high attackspeed and lifesteal as they can broke the game quite quickly (Tich, Maim, Rend, Daelin) and shouldnt be able to carry on for so long.

Last game we had we thought about how useless were Footmen for most Alliance players (except Dalaran). What about giving them ALL the defense ability, while keeping the other uniques research. You could also think about making it a free unit (limited in number) or to lower their price.
As for now, I dont see any point in producing them else if I have tons and tons of money to waste.
And even though, I would rather buy navy by then.

Anyway thank you for the map and hope to see you on the battlefield once !

So what about the next version ? ^^
Im really addicted to your map I must say, always craving to test out new strategies and build ! :p

I was wondering if you were planning to add Lord Crowley to Gilneas as a hero since he was the one who persuaded Genn to enter the Alliance at first.
Also because he is kind of a badass !

Still didnt see you sadly :( I host it mostly during week ends but that can be at any time of the week too.

Hi, Me and my friends are trying to host a game in Garena LAN servers, but apparantely this latest version is pretty big and it denies us access to host one. soooo can I get an older and lighter version of this? Maybe a version with 10mb or less
Thank you, appreciate it
