Holy War: Anniversary 1.76a

[zsc2tr]

When set Architecture as enemy to other players, it loses all effects.
When another player sets units to help you, chances are some of your unit will automatically set as ally to help the one who helps you.
Ysera green dragon doesnt attck or action in events. (happened in -hdm random units mode, dont know in common mode)
Iiiidan can transform when in low health but i just saw once, in most cases he dont do that until died.

 

[zsc2tr]

Empire Guard now doesnt use shock wave.
Jaine's frost aura has no effect and even it has, it says: in 280 Aoe, so normally it would be in effect since she's a ranged unit.
Knighting ceremony cost 1 more mana than description. It says you need at least 5/8, actually it costs 6/9.
Sister of elune wastes mana on healing herself even at full health.

 

[zsc2tr]

Dragon ritual in team fight doesn't earn money from kills, dont know if it does in events.
Larva spawn cannot get any upgrade.
Astral Huntress can still be attcked when phased and the cast motion is too long.
Fire Huntress does damage to friendly units.
After defeated by Final boss, player only gets income without any compensation.

 

[zsc2tr]

Lord Xavius doesnt use converse skill to creeps and it says converse elf so it is only useful when dual?
His demonic speed costs 150 mana, i dont know if he is going to use that beacuse it is impossible for him to survive that long. I remember in previous versions he used that a lot to flee and to keep alive but now he doesnt flee at all.
Dragon rituals only gain money on killing creeps in your own and other players battlefield. Killing player's units gains no money, in dual, events (killing creeps no money too) and in battleground.
Tyrande's moon wings makes her a melee and she usually wont do that cause she shoots at the back and wont trigger this skill unless you have no frontline at all which is impossible.
I dont know if is alliance mode (you can build the same hero many times) or -hdm (maybe too many creeps), a lot of heroes dont act in events.
And in alliance mode heros which can upgrade can only exist 1. For example you can have many Ner'zhul but only 1 lich king.
Mediv never uses Raven Form.

 

[zsc2tr]

Architecture doesnt have range upgrade.
Overlord mode no money gained from kills from your boss unit in dual and team fight. Dark Troll casts every skill the same time when you press just one skill.

The kraken is still possible to be killed by lightning spell on 1.61.

How does the Kraken on level 30 work anyway? Does hee need mana to spawn tentacles? Does he spawn them when he kills a unit? I'm trying to figure out the best strategy to kill him especially as a race that doesn't have much chaos like nerubian.

 

[iXeddin]

1.Mediv's skills oocupy the whole place that you cannot sell it and its
2. Larva spawn cannot get any upgrade.
3. Astral Huntress can still be attcked when phased and the cast motion is too long.
4. After defeated by Final boss, player only gets income without any compensation.

1) Mine works fine. Did you use any spells on him at the base?
2) Cobold larva?
3) "Phase Shift" works like Wind Walk without moving. Units with "True Sight" can see them.
4) Sargeras will test your build. There will be no compensation and if you choose reward gold tacktics it will be sad. There are two strategies - stable income(from gold mine upgrade) and playing without defeats (and get reward gold).
Other bugs will be fixed.

Thanks a lot for support!

Sorry, I replaced the old Forgotten One and forgot to add lightning resistance to it)
The Forgotten One uses mana to summon tentacles - so burning mana can reduce its strength.

Have nice game!

 

[zsc2tr]

1) It is fixed now.
2) Lava spawn sorry typo.
3) So Astral Huntress's skill is not invulnerble as it says? But i did saw it dodged the fire damage from Sargeras. And this unit is much weeker than Fire Huntress and the later requires 25 more gold.
4） Overlords mode is imbalanced. I cant really win enemy troll troops and they get upgraded just as AI as time goes. I failed at 5-5 upgrade and later in the same level they become 10-10.

2) Fixed in 1.72b
3) Astral Huntress are almost immune to magic (block 90% of magic damage, Fire Huntress only 60%).
4) This mode needs some work, which I don't have time for right now.

Have nice day!

Just beat the map on survival for the first time ever after about 5 years of playing! Humble brag.

 

[zsc2tr]

Again in a 6 players game, Boss teleported to the sixth player's battleground.
In events, a player's army (1 in 4, -hdm)dont act and then count as dead.

I hope there's a team mode, where 2 players share the same battleground. That could be fun.

hi this is best version bro?

Hi. You made a great map, played it a couple of times now and noticed a few things. 1 thing now:

We found, there seems to be a small mistake with the upload. (I will explain why I even post such small issue at the end)
At the bottom of the main thread in the content section it says:

Filename: HolyWarAnniversary1_72с.w3x

But when we download the map the filename will be without the 'c'! This is only visible in your windows explorer folder, not ingame:

HolyWarAnniversary1_72.w3x (no c)

I post this, because: in the custom lists someone regularly hosts the _72c.w3x version, and we thought that might be a cheat version especially since facing bugs there (sometimes an army is not attacking in a team-event, survival mode). Ingame both map names are the same.
Further clue, you can differentiate them ingame: The hosted _72c has crosses in the thumbnail (see attachment) and someone said it appeared like 1 week after the official release here. Then I checked every small detail on this website and found what I just posted. It's just a small feedback, so no need to answer (of course appreciated . But perhaps you have missed updating that small fix here because those extra crosses in the thumbnail look intended and useful. Anyways it is helpful for us to know if the other is legit and which we should further play and test on.


Thanks for your work,
have a good day!

I rarely visit the site, so sorry if I don't answer right away)

Crosses appear if you do not delete some files from the archive (map). In my versions they do not exist.
Also you can check which version the map you are playing by simply hovering your mouse over the expense item in the upper right corner or tuping "-ver".
Made a small update at the request of a friend, so now the version will be different)

Thanks for your support! Have a nice game!

 

[Axen]

Thanks Indeed, I c now, your official upload is congruent (same version name in upper right corner as in explorer = no c). Then the cheat version was not congruent it has the explorer map name changed but the upper right corner is still without c. So it (and mapname) was a fudge. Thanks for clarifying. The new upload (d) is helping that topic, too. By the way I think the (bug) crosses might be adding some visual help for newer players, as in a hint of how the map will look like which I personally appreciate for any map. Kind of like a hybrid thumbnail. So maybe this "mistake" gave some cool idea.

Best success on your other map. (I have 2 more feedback, but I will think first - if necessary to post - and try around before, and thus leave you be here finished for now )

Very enjoyable map. There are many factions to choose from and they all have lots of variety. Lots of waves with many challanges. Good fun. A staple wc3 custom game map!

Hello everyone!

After the release of the new 1.74a version, I've returned to playing Holy War. I've played about 15 games and encountered some bugs, which I want to list below:
1. While playing on IM, or HDA modes the 20th wave is bugged. Brood mother will spawn alongside her spiders, infinite number of baby behemoths, quickly filling the whole arena. It never stops unless you kill the boss. It's doable because of the amounts of gold that you get from behemoths. It is around 2k per lost wave, so it quickly makes rest of the game quite trivial. During events, the same thing happens. My game crashed once due to 4 queens spawning mobs at the same time. In normal boss mode brood mother works just fine.
2. Idk if it is a bug or not, but while playing classic mode, you are not getting any money for killing enemy units in the duel. This makes this game mode really slow and unfun in my opinion.
3. I've played tournament mode and after one round cycle, the game ended even though it was set to last 3 cycles. I happened to me already twice.
4. Upgraded cannon no longer spawns drenai, and its overall useless.

(While writing this I saw that the new version came out that fixed portal cannon. Maybe some other bugs are also fixed by now.)

Few more remarks and my honest opinion about new 1.74a version:
1. The change that instead of certain units, you now need only value to build units is AWESOME! Previously, I've been playing alliance mode 100+ times and never manged to, for example build an angel, due to its 4 units requirement. Now it's much simpler, more welcoming for the newer players and much more fun. Unfortunately, this change came at a price. No longer you can build infinite number of hero units like before. It was super cool to have like 10 Singradosas and solo Sargeras with them. It's really sad, but if it's the creators will, then so be it. Overall great change.
2. Some special units like for example gryphons, sisters of Elune, or dreadnoughts now can be built infinitely. Idk if it is intended, but I like that change.
3. When I tried new version, I was pleasantly surprised that a lot of new units has been added. For example, Keeper of the grove ---> Cenarius, new hero beetle, lich and few more. Great stuff, but unfortunate that those new units aren't listed in the changelog, and you have to find them all by yourself.
4. Finally, you can build druids in alliance mode! Previously when u got them, you had blank icon instead. Now the bug has been fixed, and they work properly.
5. Mass duel is a complete waste of time. You get almost zero funds form it (not even income gold)! In my opinion is should be reworked somehow or at least buffed so it gives better rewards for the winning team.
I've had so much fun playing the new version. Holy War is one of the greatest mini games ever created for Warcraft 3! It brought even more joy to me and my friends than before. It's so nice to see that after so many years it is still being updated. Much appreciation to the creator iXeddin. You are awesome man, keep doing the holy work!

P.S. Actually manged to play once recently with the creator. It was fun as always, but at that time I wasn't keen on giving feedback and stuff, so I'm doing it now. Thank you for creating such top tier custom map!

Thanks a lot for review!

Some of the problems fixed(point 3) in 1.76a, but I need to test this version in full playtrought.

1) I'll think about less greedy weird thing for this boss)
2) In classic mode there really was no gold for duels.
4) I played the tournament a long time ago and I'm not surprised that after so many patches something broke there). Thank you for your feedback on this matter!

In fact, I would be glad to write longer changelogs, but it requires more time, which I don’t have yet. But I will be glad if you play my other maps it was spent!)

Have nice game!


P.S. And now I've been playing for 2 years from another account that I bought for my wife(Sigrillin199#2544). My friend logs in from my old one, so if he offends you, let me know)

 

[Strop]

The transforming castle model is so cool, is it posted anywhere ?

 

[iXeddin]

The model was removed from hiveworkshop, but I found it HERE.

Have nice day!
