Summary:
Alrighty then, I'm back into wc3 modding with a small and very basic project.
The rules are simple, each player picks one out of four fighting classes with its own unique skill set and fighting-style. Navigation for picking class is made using the arrowkeys. Currently there are only four classes planned, where only one will be made for alpha and two for beta. There will be four different modes where only the one called "Domination" will be made for alpha. All classes has rather low hp(even the melee one) and most skills make rather high damage giving a fast-paced game. Levels does not increase your health and/or damage. It only changes spells cooldown/cost/effect. Therefore a skilled lvl 3 player stand a chance against a lvl 16 player (Of course higher level is somewhat of an advantage).
This game could be called somewhat "Arena-like". The difference though is that it concentrates on making a few number of heroes excellent rather than having 60 crappy heroes. Neither are there any tomes, and the set-up is also of a different type. I'm not even sure about adding items. There's a extremely small chance I might throw in my equipment system someday when it's done, but that's not in my current interests.

Modes:
Modes are selected by the host using the arrowkeys.
- Domination:
Starting Level: 20
Progress: 100%
Each kill made decreases your level by 1. First one to reach level 1 wins. - Rune Carrier:
Starting Level: 20
Progress: 0%
Be the first one to reach level 1. The runecarrier has his movementspeed slightly reduced. Each 15 second he will loose a level. The rune glows lightly and drops upon death increasing the carriers level by 2(Max 20). Every 5 second it'll ping where the carrier were 5 seconds ago for all the other players. - Deathmatch:
Starting Level: 20
Progress: 70%
First one to reach 30 kills wins. Killing 3 players without dying triggers "Tiredness". Each kill made with the Tiredness buff decreases level by one. Level is reset to 20 upon death. - Warlord:
Starting Level: 20
Progress: 0%
One random player is selected as Warlord, the rest of the players are "Rebellions". The Warlord will have his hp slightly increased and his hpreg greatly increased (Making it (almost) impossible to take him on 1 by 1, so teamwork between the rebels will be needed). When either the Warlord or atleast 2 of the rebellions are dead, a new Warlord is selected. When each player has played as a Warlord, it'll start over. First one to winning 10 rounds as either Warlord or Rebel wins.

This site must probably have the stupidest anti-spam system I've ever encountered. I think it recognizes my attached images as spam because of the url length. And so, it marks them as [ url]. So I had to upload them at imageshack to get them working.
Errors like this should immediatly be fixed!
Example: (Short Length)
