First of all; No CAPS in your map name, i dont care if it's rampage or not.. remove it.
Second; when you do a terrain, atleast make it fully colored, not two different outlooks on each base :/, and use some BB codes to improve your description

ok.. do you have any suggestions how to make it fully colored?

 

[Bugz]

Make the dark green

 

[KuWe]

Make the dark green

you want me to make the whole terrain dark green? 2 Colours make it easier to notice where the mid line is. Have you even tested the map?

 

[Bugz]

Ahh dont bother then..

 

[Vengeancekael]

Hmm, interesting, I'll need to find a partner to help me test this one. If you yourself can host, let me know.

 

[Bugz]

I test it with Vengeancekael, tomorrow

This looks a pretty fun map. Can't rate yet but I'll try, comment and rate after download.

A suggestion: instead of using like bugz said, a lame ass all around terrain, make the undead side darker. You can use Felwood Grass and Northrend Grass for this. The house also can be one of those infected barns/house models. Just saying, this is for looks, but you will atleast have a decent split terrain based looks.

EDIT: A really fun map, I give it a 4/5. I played versus an AI twice, beat both normal and hard. Hard has more gold than me, that makes it bit unfair. He started with a Pudge when I had money just for a militia which sucks. But the AI is pretty good, can't say if he was researching but it was good.

Few suggestions:

- Instead of achievement, write something everyone can recognize like "Good Defence, Most Kills, Most Buildings etc" instead of fancy names, or just put fancy names in brackets for fun like "Best Defence: WorldEdit (Home Defender)"
- Upgrades seem really cool, but after mid-game I noticed that my gold skyrocketed and I could upgrade anything I want. Which isn't bad, but once I had all the upgrades researched and couldn't upgrade no more, I was just spamming troops and laying few turrets here and there. I would suggest you reduce the gold somehow, because after both teams reach a stale match and its a matter of who spams most troops, gold gain is huge and there aren't things on what to spend like upgrades level 2 or something
-While undead regenerate at night and human at day, its not really balanced, because if you get a good head start later on you will trample them, because your units regenerated and theirs didn't. I would change that to normal regeneration to all units, no matter day or night.

Heres an idea, add an ability to the battle standard you drop (at night undead get +5% move speed?) and human's standard (at day gives them bonus +1 armor?)... both standards should keep their original damage boost, this will kind of extra

Overall its a fun map and I would gladly give it a 5/5. I just think you need a little bit more work on it, not a huge one but a bit work here, bit work there. Voting for approval!

Overview:

Gameplay

Absolutely amazing! such brilliant work of the game that it also reminded me of plant vs zombies with the mix of angry birds
had nothing to say but how I would rate it in its best.

Terrain

Terrain is randomized and shown in good quality, interesting and useful to be implemented in the game for players not to get bored and null with the main terrain.

Managing

To my observation with the game, I felt this had to be a good piece for the mini-game resources, that it should deserved a best hit because of how it was released and managed with great characters and wonderful strategies to come while in-game, no bugs were found but only 2 players can play, but nonetheless, awesome map.

[Dogzo]

wow, sounds cool, will play it with my cousin/ on battle net

 

[KuWe]

Update with new season and a new game mode is coming out soon! Stay tuned.

 

[Dogzo]

i played, and it isnt that good, i would give it 2.5/5, mostly its fun to play with ai when your at campging, and they pretty much stupid, at the start there good, at the mid game there challenging, and at the end, garvage. i hope you improve the ai in the next version

 

[KuWe]

Well it's my first AI and it's kinda hard to make AI that is better than a human player. In fact I made the AI just for testing purposes and decided to leave it there. This map is much better when played with a real human player.

 

[Dogzo]

mayby. enyway, good map, but requires much more special units and units

 

[ZeusLT]

Fix memory leaks, canon tower is seriously overpowered :O,
rename "energy" its missleading >_> understood only in middle of game
and another cons is that this map is PROTECTED

But overall looks good 4/5

 

[KuWe]

v1.10 is out!

 

[magerox]

How come for human peasant cost more than militia?
Militia - 20 hp, 2-2 dmg
Peasant - 15 hp, 2-2 dmg
Militia cost 5 gold
Peasant cost 10 gold

Is it cause peasant walk faster?

 

[KuWe]

Is it cause peasant walk faster?

that and the fact that it can be upgraded to be the best dps of normal units, especially in v1.11 where i am going add 2nd level to his upgrade.

 

[cleavinghammer]

A bug: Upgrading the Madrat does nothing, you can't use it as a unit.

The game works well, I only have a few nitpicks (so far, I'll need to try it again a few more times):

You should make the human's strong fast unit use the bandit model, I was wondering why a ranged unit wasn't shooting.

Make the undead farm look different from the human one. As for the terrain, I liked the randomizing, but maybe a few more doodads wouldn't hurt, maybe some height variation on the outside.

Perhaps you could put a countdown over the neutral unit's heads showing when they'll die?

Other than that, great map.

 

[KuWe]

A bug: Upgrading the Madrat does nothing, you can't use it as a unit.

What? It works just fine. Are you sure you tried to summon it from HQ after upgrading it?

Which unit do you mean? Spearman?

 

[cleavinghammer]

Yes, I kept clicking on the icon in the upgrades menu but nothing happened. The summon menu kept the faded question mark. The Rampager worked fine though.

And yes, I meant the spearman.

 

[Tanasren]

i played it yesterday v1.06 vs the AI
i chose Easy mode and it was very easy lol
second game i chose Hard mode and i got beaten so i tried normal i won
Then i tried hard mode again like 8 times (i restarted very early) then i understood and i beat it it was pretty hard i ended up with 5% and the Ai had 100% but then i got him 100 to 0% hehe
maybe the Ai should vary his strategy

anyway it's very very fun but there are not enough possibilities of units and upgrades, you should focus on this it will increase a lot the replayability

anyway it's very good but what's the point of "mines" instead of bombs ?

 

[Tanasren]

hmm we can demolish units now ? well so the game will be to destroy every unit before it dies (one last hit before) to avoid the other player gaining gold (woot i hope this sentence is correct)

 

[Atideva]

first time air strike does 20 dmg. But then it do much more, about 50 or more. For 30 gold it's to much, with fast cd you can clean all the line from any type of HQ and buildings.

 

[vdainiusv]

wow ! great map 4,5/5

 

[Tanasren]

ah yes air strike made me win againt a guy who had 6 gold coins and me 0 and lot of towers everywhere
but i guess it's part of the strategy but it needs a counter too

 

[KuWe]

Uploaded v1.12! About upcoming updates: v1.20 brings a new game mode and possibly a new season.

 

[Tanasren]

YEAH a new season !! -_-' what's the point of this ?

and the AI is very tough but i guess it never changes its strategy
the replayability is not so huge after having played 10 times

you could also add an upgrade like the Air strike which would increase the owner's units damage by 50% during 10 sec

 

[KuWe]

YEAH a new season !! -_-' what's the point of this ?

Well I originally planned to do 4 seasons and each season has its own random events.

you could also add an upgrade like the Air strike which would increase the owner's units damage by 50% during 10 sec

I don't quite get it. You want a new explosive or a bonus damage effect to Airstrike?

 

[Tanasren]

no i mean something u buy which would cost 30 g or more and would increase unit's damge during 10 sec, then if u need it once again, you buy it another time (with cooldown)

 

[KuWe]

no i mean something u buy which would cost 30 g or more and would increase unit's damge during 10 sec, then if u need it once again, you buy it another time (with cooldown)

Demolish has the same effect so I don't see the point of adding another damage boost.

 

[Tanasren]

o_0
demolish isn't the spell where u can demolish ur own tower or unit ? lol i missed something

 

[IronTaker56]

WOOT! This Map 100% Percent to me!!.

 

[KuWe]

v1.21 is out now. Feel free to leave a comment.

 

[kevlamin]

Brilliant game
I am using my bot to autohost this on bnet and the general responses to it are that they love it

 

[Tanasren]

what's ur botname ?

 

[kevlamin]

Kevlamin, but it's down at the moment. Probably will be for a while, we used 55 GB of internet in 5 days although I'll host it for you in say 8-10 hours from when i post this?

 

[Darkfang]

Try to add a multiplayer team gameplay and this can be a blast!

 

[kevlamin]

Well Just Pm me if you want me to host then

 

[KuWe]

v1.30 is currently under work and it will feature a new season, explosive system revamp (+ new explosive(s)), rebuyable temporary buffs and many other changes...

Try to add a multiplayer team gameplay and this can be a blast!

I'm not quite sure how would multiplayer team gameplay fit into a map like this but I'll consider it.

 

[Dogzo]

the seasons are boring, add more units etc....

 

[IronTaker56]

the seasons are boring, add more units etc....

New version he added units and upgrades next time...

 

[KuWe]

New version is out! I've planned to add new unit(s) in v1.40.
