Dark Ritual: Westfall
(formerly known as Westfall: Apocalypse)

A cat vs mouse scenario where humans must use upgraded units and heroes with powerful items to vanquish the forces of evil.


Forces of Evil

  • Blood Warrior - A whirlwind of steel death, able to ressurect foes as an undead army, counterattack melee attacks, and teleport with deadly strikes.
  • Death Knight - The corrupted counterpart to the Human Paladin, the Death Knight is able to heal ally undead, dominate the minds of human units, and Metamorphosis into a horrifying demon.
  • Gluttony - A fearsome monstrosity, able to steal extra gold from pillaging structures and spread filth to enemy units before erupting enemy corpses in deadly explosions.
  • Dark Ranger - An agile ranged hero, able to heal from corpses of the dead, to cause enemy units to miss ranged attacks, and able to descend into a shadow trance to deal deadly damage with a barrage of arrows.
  • Lich - A fallen wizard hero, adept at icy magic. He is able to shield himself with a shield of mana, recover mana by channeling, slow enemies with Frost Nova and conduct mass annihilation with Death and Decay.
  • Revenant - A furious storm elemental, able to shock multiple enemies with chain lightning, to combust mana from casters with ranged attacks, and to summon a Helstorm of immense lightning power in a small area.
  • Warlock - A summoner who is adept at controlling combat, the warlock is able to teleport short distances, project burst damage, and summon spirits for scouting. Higher level warlocks are able to call down an Infernal with fire armor to damage all nearby enemies.


Forces of Humanity

  • Use your peasant to construct a Farm House to recruit a "Hopeful Apprentice" hero and farmhands.
  • The Lumbermill can be used to construct Goblin Shredders who help cut lumber and can ensnare enemy units in nets.
  • Farmhands can be used to hunt and slay critters for bonus gold. This also denies gold and exp from the Evil to delay their powerful transformation.
  • When a Hopeful Apprentice reaches level 3 they are able to upgrade into one of three more powerful heroes: Archangel, Paladin, or Templar.
  • The Temple of War can train battle units including Footmen, Archers and Commanders.
  • Coinsmiths can be built to provide a passive gold income over time but they must be carefully protected as they are a significant investment.
  • The Chapel of Faith trains Priests and Druids of Hope , powerful support units to empower your forces
  • The Arcane Sanctuary trains Sorceresses and Spell Breakers with powerful spells to help overcome more powerful evil foes.
  • The Goblin Laboratory specialized in siege engines to help destroy the Evil Sacrificial Pits to attain victory



Secret Shop

The shop 'Hope's Frontier' has powerful upgrade items for humans to purchase. Once you have plenty of gold, use this shop to empower your hero to help in the final fights against the forces of evil.

---

A new spin on Vampirism, a band of peasants must create hidden bases on a flat farmland. There are no good bases to wall off, so luckily the Death (Vampires) start the game very weak. The Death players must kill creeps and critters scattered around the map to gain experience to reach level 6. Once they do, they can Evolve into an all-powerful Demi-god, and choose from one of 6 unique custom heroes.

By the time the Death heroes arrive, the humans should have harvested enough trees and critters (harvesting critters gives gold) in order to build a small defense perimeter with towers and archers. Some may be able to hold off Death but others will fall. As the humans grow stronger, so too does Death.

Before the time limit ends, the Humans must destroy the Death Pits in the center of the map, the altar that allows the Death to infinitely respawn when killed. If the Humans can destroy this in time, they are victorious. If the time limit to apocalypse is reached or all the humans are eradicated, Death is victorious.


-- Background Story --

A strange cloud looms over Westfall. The farmers have heard rumors that a horrible demon camp lie somewhere near the Howling Mines, and it has rumored that some of the neighboring peasants have gone mad. Distrust spreads through Westfall, evil is here.

  • Hopeful Initiate is now trained at the farmhouse to make it the most obvious
  • Goblin shredder is now trained at the Lumber Mill to free up space at the farmhouse
  • When a Farmer dies, he can now be ressurected at the Farmhouse. It does not mean defeat.
  • The humans have a new unit: The Druid of Hope.

That's great. Approved.
Read full review...
  1. It's a nice touch on hybridizing vampirism with other types of maps like Founders of the North. However, I feel it's missing some things. Maybe you could learn and implement more from those types of maps and others.
  2. Animals might appear between trees where you can't reach them.
  3. You can buy items from the Death shops with the farmers if you're fast enough (using hotkeys). Maybe, you should use different players for shops which are allied with each faction separately. The other way around too.
  4. Farmer's units are pretty much Warcraft III material. A bit more variety/difference would not hurt. Try not using the exact same Warcraft units. Even items are regular ones.
  5. Maybe you should use a different model for farmhands or the farmer hero.
  6. Terrain is totally flat by the way.
  7. Not sure there should be spaces between trees for units to move through, heroes included.
Awaiting Update.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

EDIT:
for some reason the map is not being seen by the game both in 1.30.4 and 1.31.1.

EDIIT2:
Same issue as above.
What game/patch version did you save this on?
