Ahh at least, you uploaded your map on a real forum .

He dudes test it, because there're many innovativ spells. An Piranha spends a lot of time to improve it... But it isn't perfect, because of that he needs your feedback.

Check the link bellow:

I want you,Piranha89 to work together with me with Orc Trilogy!Check that link again!

 

[Piranha89]

I started my map to create a unique AOS map and want it to be a stand-alone project. In addition, FotH does not fit into your idea of an AOS for your trilogy since it is a fight between orcs. You demanded a fight between orcs and all other races.

I realy like the AWESOME spells!
I tested the map and searched for unbalanced stuff, didn't find anything.
Hope other will test it cause this map is incredible.

This is my review of Fall of the Horde v0.17c

Pros:
-Acceptable number of heroes.
-Good use of custom abilities.
-The terrain was quite well done, with much tile, doodad, and height variation.
-Good use of commands and game modes.
-Item combinations were done well (and so was the system used for displaying them).

Cons:
-Hero selection system was done quite strangely. It could have been done better.
-Doesn't bring anything new to the AoS genre.
-Having human vendors didn't fit in well with the orc theme.

Rating: 3.1 (converted to 3.0) and recommended for approval.

well this map needs some improvements but all in all i would rate it 3/5 for now keep up the good work and ill rate it higher!

Review Time!

-Amount of Heroes was very good and there abilities ranged from boring as piss to excellent, so good work there. The tool tips could use some work though. I don't think that the heroes had spells that synergize very well though, you might want to consider this for future hero remakes.

-Terrain was average, maybe you could stylize it to create more defined lanes, but it was ok. I personally hate random bumps in AoS lanes but some people think it look more "natural". And the teleporter at base either doesn't work(?), or you need to add some description of how it works for players.

-Loved the demolisher construction thing, great idea.

-I don't really agree with having the recipes bound to the escape key. It's not a bad idea but when looking for items to buy I want all the information as close to hand as possible so it makes sense to have recipes in nearby shops. Items were a bit boring as well.

-The map gives lots of feedback about what is going on, which is excellent.

I'd say in a couple of releases this would be good for a lan bash, 2.5/5 (I'll round up )

Answering some basic critics:

Review Time!

-The tool tips could use some work though. I don't think that the heroes had spells that synergize very well though, you might want to consider this for future hero remakes.
I will try to find better ways to make the hero's skills fit properly. Most of their spells are supposed to be used in combos to gain greater advantages, thats why the mix of their spells may not be fitting well with each hero's theme.

-Terrain was average, maybe you could stylize it to create more defined lanes, but it was ok. I personally hate random bumps in AoS lanes but some people think it look more "natural". And the teleporter at base either doesn't work(?), or you need to add some description of how it works for players.
I used to be a very bad terrainer, I'm already happy if the terrain looks sort of "natural" without blocking lanes.
Somehow, i will give it a try and ask some mates whether they like the improvements I'm doing.


-I don't really agree with having the recipes bound to the escape key. It's not a bad idea but when looking for items to buy I want all the information as close to hand as possible so it makes sense to have recipes in nearby shops. Items were a bit boring as well.
I guess it depends on how much you are used to it. Me and the betatesters believe its far better than the usual, boring recipe shops, especially known from DotA (FotH is not planned to be another clone in any way!).
The lack of special items is already wellknown. On one hand, a lot of new ones are planned to improve the gameplay, but on the other hand too many very special items may weaken the focus on the hero's spells. Balancing this fact will be quite a hard thing to do.

I'd say in a couple of releases this would be good for a lan bash, 2.5/5 (I'll round up )
Erm, thanks

i em on 1.23 version for garena pleas make some version vor garena ?

 

[Piranha89]

Hi Watson, thanks for your comment.

I could make a version for Garena (requires just one small fix because of my wrapped custom system), but the question is:
Will Garena be updated to match the Warcraft 3 Patch soon?
I do not use Garena myself

Running 2 versions of the same map on hive to fit in Garena's Warcraft version may be sort of senseless, so I will add a link to the version that is (hopefully) compatible to 1.23.
I cannot test this, so I will just replace the GetHandleId(h) function, hoping this will allow Garena users to play it.

//Edit: I got some more information about Garena now. You will simply need to patch your Warcraft to the actual 1.24 patch and it will work for those with the actual version. Seems like no special version is needed.

 

[WatsoN]

thanks man am? but is there gona be survers then becose i em on version 1.23 so if i go on 1.24 i'm not shure can i play garena then but i risk and tell .. thanks agen great map !!!

Suggested Players:Balanced

Change this to like "1-5" and put the spells in your description into hidden tags and also add a category.

Version 19a

Feel free to comment about issues you found

 

[Menag]

[gerbal_warfare]

This is not a 'single-player' map.

 

[raisen]

want some help on this map? pm me

 

[deepstrasz]

Seems a rather good AoS. The lanes are too close to each other though.
