Erkut Hero Defense

[deepstrasz]

A credits list in the map description with the names of the authors whose resources you've used is mandatory. That includes models, skins, icons, custom spells, systems. Also, sounds, music and everything outside this site.
This helps you with the models, skins and icons from Hiveworkshop: Resources in use by Erkut Hero Defense v3.16

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.

You've also uploaded a previous version some time ago:

Please, in the future do not delete and make a new map thread with the same map but update the first thread.

Information about Upgradeable Items's icon turns to green when no one is near the shop. I think it does not have a disabled version DISBTN. You can make one with:
Button Manager v1.8.2

Abilities don't have hotkeys mentioned but they seem to be QWERT based.
For some reason Warqent does super damage, like 10 or more times his damage. I was trying the Stone Golem.

Generally, very old school with simple and repetitive gameplay. Optional quests could be much more engaging. Overall feels incomplete and many missed opportunities for creative gameplay.

Approved.

Played it several times and overall map seems kinda meh.

Time between waves is too small, so you can't really explore and do quests. (and in the same time you need to buy items too)
Not a problem for experienced players i guess, but too harsh for the beginners, considering they don't know all the map secrets and they need time to explore.

Ability based heroes seems useless. As a monk i has blizzard-like spell, which did 36x4=144 damage iirc, when creeps had like ~700 hp and it was only normal or easy difficulty. So my gameplay was kinda frustrating. But same actually goes for other spells too, they are too weak too. That makes no point in taking pure spell damage heroes.

Thank you for your comment.

I wanted to make the map as co-op hero defense, no one should one-shot creeps with abilities so the game would be competitive. I'll reconsider the time between two waves, you may right about that. The game will be more balanced if you choose the following difficulty levels according to the number of players.

Very Easy (1-2 players)
Easy (2-3 players)
Normal (4-5 players)
Hard (6-8 players)
Very Hard (8 players)

very nice map, need more powerfull bosess in jungle and i dream about mode for free explore. We played with two friends first time and we dont have so much time to explore or do quest. Nice to have oportunity to stop the waves for a while (not popular opinion) good work, we had great time
