Critter Rampage
Author: AmIAnnoyingNow?
Map Stage: Beta 5.3b, Unprotected

Summary:
The objective of this map is to choose a hero and survive longer than your opponents Vs an endless assault of weak critters. Every critter you kill gives you gold, which can be used to buy items to help you survive or upgrade your opponents critters so they fall faster. People who have played this map will find a great similarity to Rabbits vs Sheep.

Main Features
-40 Heroes to choose from
-Powerups drop from critters
-Automatic Team Shuffle between rounds, and the ability to set the teams
-Single Player mode to mess around in
-Offensive abilities to hinder your opponents
-Support sorceresses, which can support your side or disrupt the other.
-The ability to toggle almost every gameplay feature added into the map

Heres a couple screenshots of me playing around in single player mode.

Super Necro Post!
Yup, I'm still working on it. (Will update first post soon)
I could really use some input for balancing and new features. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from people online.

Most importantly, I need to know what you found confusing when you first started playing, and any suggestions on how to make it more clear for newbies.

Anyways I have released 31 updates to this map since i last posted and have moved up to V5.3b
Heres a mini changelog, the full changelog is in the quests menu.
-New heros (now 8 per tavern) (4 more in the works)
-Offensive skills on sorceress and heros
-Shared control of creeps when you die
-Fixed a few really nasty bugs (Infinate heros, scoreboard dissappearing forever, ect...)
-Added more host commands
-Added offensive items shop and moved the fountain to the middle.
