Hell Hounds V_Beta0.2.8.3

[deepstrasz]

Spoiler: here's a little something

1. A lot of units with the same icons (e.g: Soldier Camp).
2. Some heroes are just normal units? (e.g: Naga Royal Guard).
3. Don't force players to shut their sound. Play music using the other trigger.
4. Items need better descriptions: values, duration, etc. Units too (what exactly they do and so on).
   
5. Creatures don't arrive all at the same time on the lanes.
6. Mostly Warcraft III content and no remarkable custom stuff.
   
7. Battleship bash is kind of imbalanced but considering the main building can be repaired and they are not mechanical thus you can steal life from them.
   
8. Workers are too resistant. You can have a multitude of them repairing all the time and repairing themselves of course for resources.
   
9. So, how many ability levels are there? 3? 4? More?
   
10. A next wave will start even if the previous one spammed Animate Dead.
11. On the Revenant: Thunder Clap and Death Coil both have the hotkey C...

The map is pretty simple. It's basically the same thing on repeat.
Try making it more variable somehow, implement some other things to do, mini-games or I don't know.

Awaiting Update.

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.

EDIT:
-hero ability descriptions are not explicit or they're incomplete. Mantus' for example. Some descriptions don't mention any values or anything at all but the ability name and don't say the max level the spell can reach.
-the same for many items. Learn about writing a proper description/tooltip:
Tooltip Tutorial
Creating Good Descriptions
-that music cannot be turned off without turning all sound off. Use the other play music trigger maybe.
-you could make WERT hot keys for abilities for easier and faster use.

Honestly, it's still unpolished and pretty much lacking a good presentation. There are way better maps of this type. I don't see this fit the standard.

1. You should make a way for the spells to be known before choosing the hero, so you'd know if you'd like that hero. Either when stepping near that hero a text message to appear or by sharing the heroes to all players and they could just look through their ability panel.
2. Why do some heroes have chaos attack type and others do not, and why some have hero armour and others heavy? How's that balanced? Also, some start with a lot of HP compared to others.
3. For instance The Dark Ranger doesn't have proper ability descriptions (no values/damage etc. or how many levels the spells have; see these: Tooltip Tutorial and Creating Good Descriptions). The first spell has an icon which looks like it can be autocast but it cannot and it also has the hotkey S which is used by the command Stop.
4. You don't gain experience if the towers kill the enemy.

It's still too simple and unpolished. Play some defense maps and learn from them.
