[Footmen Wars / Frenzy] Footmen Vs Grunts Elite

[millzy]

Footmen Vs Grunts Elite introduction Footmen Vs Grunts is a old map originally created by newbie-wc3. With many different versions of it being released i decided to create my own with the intent for it to be 1 of the most balanced in the past my version was quite successful and very popular with the Footmen Vs Grunts clan i was in. its been a long time since iv been active but now iv decided to update this map Game Play Footmen Vs Grunts is a footmen frenzy type map where units will periodically spawn for you. The map consists of 2 teams one being human/night elf and the other being orc/undying. generally played with 5 players for each team. The idea of the game is to siege the enemys base and destroy their hart(a building in their base) by massing and microing large army and heros. Features units Firstly there are 24 units you can buy to periodically spawn for you for each team. list of units Footmen human units Rifleman Priest Sorceress Spell Breaker Mortar Team Knight Gryphon Rider Dragonhawk Rider Flying Machine Siege Tank Noble Knight Bronze Dragon Night Elf units Archer Huntress Dryad Druid of the Talon Druid of the claw Mountain Giant Chimaeara Hippogryph Rider Glaive Thrower Faerie Dragon Ancient Protector Green Dragon Grunt Orc Units Troll Head Hunter Shaman Troll Witch Doctor Warlock Wind Rider Tauren Demolisher Raider Troll Batrider Kobo Beast Orgre Lord Red Dragon Undead Units Ghoul Crypt Fiend Banshee Necromancer Meat Wagon Abomination Frost Wyrm Destroyer Obsidian Statue Gargoyle Frost Archer Black Dragon some of the spell casters have extra abilitys added from what they would normally have. All units have 6 levels of defense and attack damage upgrades. The footmen and Grunts also have hit point upgrades. some units can get a unique passive if reaserched depenting on what race they are orcs - critical strike human - bash night elf - evasion undead - cleave Heros Heros max level is 25 with them having the standard 3 basic spells and 1 ultimate also the attribute ability adding 3 to all stats with each level, the basic spells have 5 levels, the ultimate has 3 levels and the attribute ability has 7 levels. There are a total of 51 heros available. 23 of them are the standard heros your familiar with with their abilitys altered slightly to suit this map. 12 of them are heros every 1 that plays Footmen Vs Grunts are familiar with. pic and the other 16 heros are unique heros created by myself Hero Selection There are 2 different modes to hero selection 1 being all random and the other being all pick. these modes are selected by the players by vote at the beginning of the game Hero Kill Bounty Hero kills are highly rewarded with decent gold bounty. The bounty of a heros death is determined by its level and the players current hero kill streak. the formula is 160 + (level of hero x15) + (kill streak x 60. Also Every 10 hero kills by the Team combined they are rewarded 500 gold Hero revival heros will be revived on death with a timer the time to be revived is determined by their level. heros are revived in 8 +(level of hero x 4) seconds Items There are alot of different items to buy most of them being items every 1 is familiar with. although i have added more and also item recipes meaning certain items combine into 1. few of the item shops View attachment 292240 Bladebane Armour the Bladebane Armour are legendary items in all footmen vs Grunt maps witch can be hard to obtain. to get it you must kill the golem that drops it on death. The Bladebane armour provides your hero with 25+ attack 10+ armour and +50 in the Atribute of your choice (toggle between them by using the item) unit control there are 2 mass sending commands you can use by using the ability on your chaos tower Mass attack - using this ability will force your units to attack/move to the location u cast it retreat - orders your units to retreat back to your upgrade center there is also a Auto send toggle witch turns auto sending to attack on and off NOTE THESE COMMANDS DONT WORK ON HEROS Multiboard The multiboard displays your teams: -your hero kills/deaths -unit kills pic Development well the map is complete im just looking at updating it will alot of new features and adding of heros/items maybe a change of terrain tile set im also after some 1 that could possible help me with a new loading screen? Loading screen (simple) the request has been complete by Maks4225 Thank you Alright so what im working on at the moment on this map is: I need to fix mass unit control commands (when there are to manny units its very buggy units dont move and just stand around. mass retreat has a delay before they actually start moving back). im not sure how to fix this Q-W-E-R hot keys and more descriptive spell info ill be adding Q-W-E-R hot keys for the hero spells and also adding more info to the spells descriptions telling you if the spell is a target/passive/summon/ect. also AoE it has if its a AoE spell and cast range/mana costs/cool downs of the spells. 75% done all the standard heros are finished 5 new heros there are 5 new heros im working on (will add more info later) (about 30% though this most the heros have 2-3 spells) hero revial by timer heros will be revived by a timer and no longer have to be revived by the alter 100% this has been done heros will revive in 8 + (level of hero x 4) seconds items will be addding more item recipies mainly and will also be cleaning up the item shops 85% all Shops have been cleaned up exept for the Recipie shops AoE spells nerf alot of the AoE spells are well over powerd and these will be reduced (75% I believe most of the big nerfs that were required has been done) other maybes/idea's: feedback on these would be nice -possible unit changes -Im also thinking of adding lumber gathering to the map but i havent got any plans for its use or how to gain it -unit hire building -increasing gold income to a team when a team player leaves im open for any suggestions you have Change log although there was alot of changes when the map was being played with in the clan i cant remember them. so there is no info on the versions previous 1.00 aka the beta stages 1.00 First Release 1.01 unit: -added attack to scout towers and lowed their defense -increased collision size on rifle men and archers 1.02 Hero: -fixxed a bug causing tinker and alchemist to become un reviveable -changed smoke bomb abilitty on the ninja hero(now a burst that adds miss chance buff to those initially hit -forgoten 1 ulti no long kills him when the spell is finished 1.03 hero: -fixxed a issue causing the wolf and Demon hunter unable to be revived if they die when morphed looking for any kind of feedback/suggestions on this map[/color]

UPDATE

iv decided to add Shared bounty for tower kills


Tower bounty
when a player kills a tower they will receive the gold for the killing blow and a additional 120 for each player on thier team

iv also started work on the hero revial system
hero revival time will be based at 12 seconds and each level will add 4 seconds

Leaving players
leaving players gold properly spread to allies. leaving players will cause the remaining players gold income to increase(amount not determined yet) to condensate the loss of a player

-alters removed
-hero taverns added with the heros that were in the alters
-few more hero spell descriptions updated

 

[SeedinAethyr]

This looks really good and has a lot of potential, I hope you don't lose motivation to keep updating it.

 

[millzy]

Thanks comments like that keep me motivated

update

-i have implemented the hero revival system heros will revive 8 + (level of hero x 4) seconds
-edited the leaving players code to give all their allies the gold they have split between them and increase thier gold income when a player leaves

im not quite sure what i want to do with these spaces to wither just have them as pree much wasted space with doodads blocking them or add alliance/horde buildings that actually do something but that something is ??... i could use this for my shops location although im not 100% sure

new camps that replace the sea hunters im not sure if i want them all to be the same or not or the rewards for killing the units at these camps

The original is one of the few wc3 maps I have played and actually enjoyed the gameplay.

High hopes

 

[millzy]

alright so i admit i havent been working on the map but im now back and working on it again

UPDATE:
i have finished the Gul'dan Hero

gul'dan's spells

Soul Leach - gul'dan drains hp from nearby units of the target dealing damage or healing the unit = to the hp that is drained

fel fire bursts - bursts random areas around gul'dan with fel fire periodicly. the fel fire will focus nearby units so units on their own will take high damage

Added Pushback to the Bladebane Golems slam ability

decided to have 2 different set of creeps for the side creeps (the red box on my previous post). Killing these creeps will give the players great bounty rewards and drop a tome of knowledge giving +15 to all attributes

done a heap more ability tool tips (this is the real killer of my time and motivation on the map sadly )

 

[millzy]

UPDATE:alright so addmitedly i havent been working on the map much but latley i have added a few more things to the map. so yes the map is still progressing but very slow :/
heres a few things iv added since the last update.

HERO KILL BOUNTY REWORK - originally the bounty for hero kills were set to the heros in the object editor and very basic. the bounty of hero kills now depends on the level of the dying hero and the kill streak the hero is currently on.
the formula is 160 + (kill streak x 60) + (hero level x 15)
meaning if you kill a level 6 hero that has a kill streak of 2 for example the bounty will be 160+ (2x60) + (6x15) = 370

hero QWER hotkeys and tool tips - i have gone ahead and done more tooltips and hot keys for the hero spells im about 80% though them now

Hero Nerfs - i have begun nerfing a few hero abilitys that i believe to be over powered
just to name a few
curse master - no longer has silance the it has been replace with banish and also no longer has finger of death and this has been replaced with rain of chaos (power full rain of fire ability)
Frozen witch - Greatly reduced the damage of frost nova and decreased the freezing time and damage of freezing death
AoE and damage of all star fall type abilitys has been decreased - (starfall/ suffering) also Rage of god has been removed from the holly knight and been replaced with Holly Blessing a spell witch heals nearby units and grants armour to them for a period of time.
Sniper - reduced the chance to crit to 10%. reduced The armour reduction on Target sat.
Marine - FireBat morph no longer perm and attack range is reduced. marines crit is replaced with head shot witch is a 35% chance to mini bash (0.2 seconds)

BLADE BANE ITEM - the bonus of the Bladebane armour has been increased and given a ability to change bonus attribute stats. originally the bladebane armour would give the hero +20 damage +10 armour + 20 Strength
it now gives the hero +25 damage +10 armour + 50 to the atribute of your choice by switching between them with the active ability

shops - i have started to deal with the items within the shops moving them into better organisation

Hidden

Hello! I am also working on footman frenzy type of map, but I am more interested in writing jass code. I already wrote an AI for the map and can easily adapt it for your map as well. Let me know if you are still working on the map / interested in continue working on it.

 

[millzy]

thats awesome man, but i havent messed with editing maps in a few years now. i dont see the need for AI in this map since its mainly players what kind of AI is it? iv always thought of doing a hero only mode where u can only control heros and the units u buy are auto sent kinda thing.
