Conflicts: BattlefieldsMap Size decreased by 1.08 MB!
This Map is previously known as Medieval Conflicts. I decided to change the name to enable more versatility on the gameplay.
-
Conflicts: Battlefields
Use overwhelming assaults along with cunning tactics to destroy your enemies' base and use extensive planning when laying out your defenses.
Overview:
This game is a medieval builder map. This map is different from other builder maps because here, you can have an unlimited number of warriors as long as you have the time to make them. Aside from the mass production warriors, you can also train specialized units that can be used to counter other kinds of units. The income system is based on the amount of certain units owned by a player. Each villager, market, or lumbermill will provide a certain amount of gold and lumber every 10 seconds. Aside from those, you can also capture mines which are located throughout the map and harvest lumber direct from the trees.
Heroes:
Instead of races, this game relies on the heroes for exclusive access to certain units. Most heroes will enable the usage of a special ability, unit, or upgrade. Every special unit, upgrade, or ability will require a different strategy both from the controller of the unit, and
the enemy who would face these units.
There is a wide variety of heroes trainable in this map. All of which are invaluable pieces to
gain victory as one hero can almost be treated as a demi-god when he reaches his maximum potential. These heroes have varied abilities which will also greatly influence how
an army would fight.
Conflicts: Battlefields focuses on large scale combats which will require proper unit match
ups, strategic movements, and superior technology.
During the starting phases of the game, players would need to build up their economy.
While doing so, they must also expand their reaches by clearing up paths and gaining
footholds. A player that advances their units early to the front lines will gain the upper
hand since they will be able to move their units much more freely. Aside from that, early
raids against the enemy might also prove worthy of your time and resources so that the
enemy development would be hindered from developing.
Once economy and territories are stabilized, it would be most wise to do either of the two strategies available. You can either bolster a large army capable of overwhelming enemies, or establish your grasp on your territories by building up walls and other defenses on your borders. Building up an army or a strong defense will require a lot of resources to be used.
The final goal always remains to be the destruction of the enemy base before they destroy
yours. There are lots of ways towards victory and it would always be up to you.
Includes:
50 custom units
25 heroes (4 heroes from Blizzard's Human Faction, 2 customized Blizzard's campaign
heroes, 15 Fully Customized Heroes, and 1 sub-hero)
A wide variety of buildings, defenses, and support structures
4 Grand Structures
The game was tested many times already in 1 hour and 4 hour games of 2v2 and 1v1, respectively.
ETC.

April 26, 2011 update
-New Signal Fire building
Signal Fire
A building that provides a 1800 radius of line of sight at night.
Due to the addition of this building to your arsenal,
drastic changes in gameplay will be experienced since
information gathering will now become one of the key goals
to help you win. It is needed to find out where your enemies
will move next and also an invaluable tool to use as spotters

May 2, 2011 update

-NEW HERO!
Shadow Hunter
A well capable hero in terms of dealing damage from afar.
Highly emphasizes in dealing out damage which makes him
very vulnerable to close range combat. This made him adapt
to attack over large stretches of land using his bow and
arrow. However, being engaged in close ranged combat
cannot be avoided which made him adapt a few of his
abilities to become more versatile. This allows him to be
exceptionally powerful from afar and still combat worthy in
terms of close combat.
Artisan
A crafty hero capable in optimizing and destroying buildings.
His uniques abilities allow him to speed up the building of
structures, strengthen the armor of structures, stopping
and destroying enemy structures. You'll be able to gain
an upperhand during the early and middle phases of the
game due to his speedy building and you'll even become
stronger later on once you acquire the Artisan's Masonry
upgrade which optimizes the defenses of your buildings.
-renamed and remodeled the Altar of Kings as Tavern and enabled
the viewing of more heroes
May 5, 2011 update
-Large amount of changes and lots of New Heroes (Too many to
mention)
May 8, 2011
-NEW HERO!
Sorceress
A hero with a unique fighting style incorporating several
abilities which breaks some rules of the game.
Rules broken by the Sorceress:
-Only 1 Hero Allowed (She can summon her own Hero
called Servant. Servant has no ability other than Attribute
Bonus. Aside from that,she can control another hero to
do her bidding for a moment allowing a player to get at
most 3 heroes at a time.)
-Warcraft made Charm unable to be casted upon heroes.
Her ability allows her to control a hero for 6 seconds.
She will forcibly control the hero and gives you full use of
the hero including its abilities.
This deceitful hero is perfect for people capable of
micromanaging armies. Perfect also for people that would
want to control a hero controlled by your enemy, but you
could also forcibly control an allied hero if you find the
need to do so.
-Dotted the map with creeps and shop selling items

(deemed necessary due to the common problem which was found
on all previous games, slow and lengthy siege warfares against
walls)
-added Arsonists and Mounted Arsonists to provide light siege
units to hasten the siege warfare a bit
-added Horse Archers
-due to unknown reasons a bug has occurred which causes the
map to crash when a completed and unclicked Hall of Warriors
is clicked. The map will be reverted back to the May 17, 2011
update as long as this is not yet fixed
*I am desperate for help on this one
May 20, 2011
-The Quick Update above is now effective
-The source of the bug was the Juggernaut unit. The reason for
why it caused the crash is still not known. Due to this, I had no
other choice but to purge the juggernaut. I don't think this will
change the gameplay and strategies. I even think of this change
as a chance to form new strategies with the new light siege units
that replaced the heavy melee siege unit. As an alternative for
the juggernaut, why not use the Battering Ram available at the
Keep.
May 26, 2011

Deployment to set up a Light Barracks instantaneously.
