Fortress Defence

[deepstrasz]

The concept is nice however too simple and haphazard for now, few custom stuff, not too nice terrain. The balance seems quite off. Yes, the 4 separate players have to first get through the bandit base to reach the red defender but even so, they only need to kill the summoners in a specific zone which might give them quite an advantage opposed to needing to eliminate the red player. Moreover, the 4 also can train units up until 160 food while they act separately and can train more heroes than the defender who acts alone with 4 bases which is a pain to control. The undead do not have a Haunted Gold mine by the way (red player).

Simple.

• 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.

"- Maybe change map for a 2v4 or 4v4 to reduce challenge for the defending player (awaiting feedback on that)"

Thank you for the feedback! I thought that might've been the case. Next version will have more players, make it all fair. I'll drop the max-food too.

What are your thoughts on the summoner time? Less than 1.5h? Also, it wouldn't be "end" game if the summoners are defeated, as the red player can still fight, they'd just lose a big boost but I see your point. I'll think of something.

Good Map but it is really hard for red player to manage all 4 bases at the same time ,I agree with you that change the map to 4v4,it will be much more fun and much easier to play (as the red player,I fell quite lonely).!!!

Thank you for the feedback! I'll make it a 4v4 next version.

Oh btw,can you somehow make it harder to kill 4 summoners in the middle of red base (you need to destroy the gate first or sth like that in order to kill 4 summoners) ,because they can just mass air and go straight for that !! Thank youu
