Flaccid Assist v1.60a

[deepstrasz]

While the AI is nice and all, the gameplay is a bit pointless considering you could do this in a regular melee match but also have control over your troops.

Approved.

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.

Tried this and I like this idea, however, this being very melee-ish while only having one hero to control feels very lackluster. I think utilizing custom heroes, as well as having AI support for playable one hero would add a lot to the immersion. Adding more playable race option is also one way to work with it, but making sure the new races are balanced is going to be a very delicate matter.

As for me, I played with Firelord with Human as the race. It takes some time to get the hang of things, but once you do the snowball effect rapidly improves. I find Goblin Merchant useless besides the reveal, but probably that is because of the food.

Thanks for taking the time to play and leave a review.

You're right — the gameplay can feel a bit limited. It’s essentially a melee match with less control, focused on just one hero, which may come off as underwhelming.


The design choice here was intentional: to create a low-pressure experience for players coming from games like LoL, Dota, or WoW. Something simple and relaxing — one-hand-on-the-mouse, tea-sipping kind of play — where decisions revolve around a single hero, keeping it accessible.


That said, we know the current version (1.60) has issues with immersion and pacing. Here's what's coming up:

Upcoming Features:

• Reign of Chaos Event – At 20 minutes, Infernals drop. Defeat them to earn powerful Artifacts inspired by Rexxar’s Campaign.
• Goblin Laboratory Integration – Adds Shredders and Sappers, plus the option to trade gold for AI-controlled lumber to boost your economy.
• Quest System Overhaul – New structured quests tied to AI ally progression and tech-tree rewards.
• Expanded Map Info – All mechanics and tweaks will be clearly visible in-game for easier understanding.

Appreciate the feedback — it's being taken into account for future updates!

Hello, I would like to know if the upcoming features are coming soon or will have to wait for a while? I'm interested to give this another go
