Complexity

A buff-based missile map

viu1195143518q.png

Story:
Deep in a forest heroes have arranged a magical tournament. This tournament consists of magics that have been teached for ages now:

Mastered the conjuring and creation of magical missiles, they are ready to fight: Fire, Ice, Blood, Fog and Corruption their are called,
the dreaded elements. Those being used wisely may arrange a horrible destruction...


Gameplay and Features

It is a kind of easy to learn Gameplay:
Choose a hero, learn 2 different skills and fight.

There are 2 types of missiles: An elite-spell and normal missiles.

The elite-spell is a special missile with special abilitys and effects. It causes damage and leaves behind a buff that is typical for the used missile On contact or impact in the target area.

Now it´s the normal missiles´turn:
Those normal missiles have a dice such as every Warcraft Unit, but they can additionally influence the buffs of a unit.And this is how it works:

If a unit burns and is hit by a frost missile, the burn buff will be removed. If that was an Frost Elite Spell, the unit will have its burn buff removed and will be frozen and the other way around with fire hitting a frozen unit. Therefore elements influence each other.

Normal missiles were made to support the elite spells and can be cast on allies, too.
For example if an enemy unit burns and you hit it with a normal fire missile, the burn buff duration is increased, if it is frozen the freeze buff will be removed.

From this it follows that you can improve your teamplay by dispelling negative buffs from your allies.


Element overview:


Fire:

Fire deals damage over time and reduces armor by 1.

Ice:
BTNFreezingBreath.JPG

Ice freezes the target unit and makes it unable to move or attack.

Blood:

Blood deals heavy damage over time and slows the movement speed of the target.

Fog:
BTNEarthquake.JPG

Fog confuses the target so much that it misses all its normal missiles while fogged.

Corruption:
BTNOrbOfCorruption.JPG

Corruption heavily reduces the target´s armor by 6 for a long duration.

These buffs have to be removable even without counter-missile-usage so there is a special anti-mixture-item for every buff. You can see them here:

Coke:
BTNPotionOfDivinity.JPG

Removes a burn buff.

Melt Essence:
BTNGreaterInvisibility.JPG

Removes a freeze buff.

Plaster:
BTNSpy.JPG

Removes a bleed buff.

Protection Goggles:
BTNTelescope.JPG

Removes a fog buff.

Essence of Virginity:
BTNPotionOfOmniscience.JPG

Removes a corruption buff.

Warper:
BTNStaffOfNegation.JPG

Teleports the hero and all his allied units around him to the target location.

Protector:
BTNStaffOfSanctuary.JPG

Activates a shield which absorbs up to 200 damage for a maximum of 10 seconds.

The missiles and items can be bought at the traders that are positioned at every team´s starting location.


Screenshots:

Fireball Elite Spell will impact soon.

Chainnova Elite Spell shortly after cast. It will automatically search a new enemy in the AoE after impact.

Twisting Axes Elite Spell shortly after cast. They will cause all units hit to bleed.

well top-mapper might be a bit exxaggerated, but he's one of the more experienced mappers. He introduced his map some weeks ago at inwarcraft and already had a closed beta test.

So you can trust him
The link is also the same at inwarcraft

I didnt mention an important thingy:

There arent any win conditions yet so it might be an endless game and there are some bugs with the multiboard displaying but that doesnt influence the gameplay.

Pls do not mention this in your feedback, thx :)

Edit: I will upload a new ver soon on THW, just be patient.
