Langrisser Tribute
Defense of Castle Edengard

Hero Defense/Survival/RPG
--------------------------
Langrisser Tribute is a map largely based on the games Langrisser and Growlanser, with some others you might recognize. It draws on those ideas for the characters/skills, but the content of the game itself should be somewhat familiar to you even if you haven't played either game before. :) The object of the game is to protect the king located near the throne in the center of the map from the waves of enemies that are assaulting the castle.

This map is my first, and I've learned a lot from it. It was originally intended only to be released to a small group of friends, but to pay back to the community for the maps I've used over the years, I've uploaded it to the Hive!

There are many things that set this map apart from others:
Game Features

- Custom Heroes with custom skills! Many of them are triggered or manipulated creatively in unique ways. They also work well with other skills to provide synergy. Hero skills are not just seemingly randomly assigned, as in most games.
- RPG elements - The game requires teamwork, especially to succeed in the higher difficulties. While the heroes are built so that they can be somewhat flexible, to fight efficiently, a team should consider specializing roles for tank, healer, aoe damage, cc and the like to build a balanced team.
- Difficulty levels to help adjust when you want to practice or have fewer players. Each difficulty level unlocks a whole new set of waves, including new enemies, bosses, and item drops!
- Special creeps! The enemies don't just autoattack, they have special abilities (especially later waves). In addition, in most waves, more than one type of creep spawns. There are also commander creeps for each wave, with increased stats/skills.
- Bosses with their own custom skill sets! Each boss uses a combination of the knowledge you know from melee warcraft as well as something new and surprising. Each of the fights require strategy, and the last few boss fights will be memorable. Bosses also drop loot from a random drop table, so each time the items you receive can be different!
- Hero Upgrades that stack exponentially to improve your offensive and defensive capabilties. They provide a permanent alternative to items that will never be replaced and are in fact essential to survive. Casters are not left out, as there is also a spirit/vitality upgrade! Summons can also be upgraded so they are not left behind in power.
- Unique mercenaries that can fill in the ranks of your army. These mercenaries can also be upgraded and are not the "just send off to take hits and die" type.
- Champions that can be hired are improved mercenaries that are said to be able to exceed the abilities of heroes in certain situations. They can also be upgraded. Each of the champions has 4-5 unique skills and 1-2 regular skills.
- Custom items from custom potions to ethereal shields to dual blades of the betrayer. Whether they be obtained from the shops or from bosses, they will surely be of great use to your party.
- Custom graphics: from custom icons to custom skins/models, even enhanced colored font. There are also special effects for some skills!
- The helpful Status board keeps track of your group's HP/Max HP, MP/Max HP, and revival time ala RPG style, updating frequently. They are also displayed with character name and portrait.
- More that I've forgot because the website deleted my description!

btw this map could need some more custom items
its a bit boring with nearly only wc3 standard items D=

but beside that,its a very unique hero defense with alot potential =)

EDIT: well i played it a copuple of times and i have to say...its fucking uberhard =O
even on the lowest difficulty we never beat the 2nd boss =/
please reduce at least the mana and hp reg of the bosses so they cant heal themself so extremely fast X_x

Thanks for the comments and for playing the game.
-As for the art, the game's art is indeed done by Satoshi Urushihara.
-I'm very poor at terraining, but I tried somewhat...maybe I just need more creativity.
-Some of the items are based on the basic versions of regular WC3 items, but like I said, this was my first map so I included some of the stuff I created when I was first learning. The later stuff (in particular the items dropped by the later bosses) are more complicated/unique. ;)
-The game shouldn't be thatdifficult. You just need to know basic warcraft knowledge: For the first boss, focus fire or aoe, for the second boss, note that spells generally have lesser effects on heroes...that means that on units that aren't heroes they have longer/normal durations. As for the 4th boss and on, things get much more complicated! I can tell you its completely beatable with 4 players on the last difficulty, at least up until the 2nd to last boss.

oh didnt know its your first map.. nice job =P

well the bosses arent that hard but its their fucking uber-regeneration...it takes very long to kill them, even on easy >_> please reduce it.. ( at least on easy mode...)
oh and yes i have to admit that the 3rd boss is extremely easy compared to the first and the 2nd bosses.

Alright, I will crack down and work on it some during this next week.
- Yes, each difficulty level increases the number of waves and bosses. I'll attempt to make that more clear in the game and in the description.
- I knew there was a slight regeneration issue, but I found that on easy I didn't think there was enough, but on hard since the battles were drawn out, it was much more painful. I will probably tone it down at least a little, then!
- Oh, the 3rd boss is intended to be easier physically, but I guess he doesn't pose much of a threat if you have interrupts. Well, I will buff him up a bit and perhaps change his casting time.

Thanks for the comments again,

You have some bugs here and there. One of the heaing staff tooltips says 7 int but the staff only gives 5int when bought. Also, creeps got stuck on the left side somehow and were unreachable without spells or ranged one round. Precision Sniper's ultimate when cast on boss, the image of the boss dies and the game triggers the next round despite the boss not dying. Overall, though hard...haven't made it past boss 4 with 5 epople but we've only been playing for a couple hours.

Made it past the guy with the big sword (using that term to avoid spoiler) on Emperor difficulty, and the next wave of creeps seems impossible?!?! The shadowy things are giving about 200hp/sec regen aura, no clue how to stop this. My group has enjoyed this map very much, the challenge is great, but I think sometimes it really should be toned down. Toned down a lot, especially since it takes almost an hour just to get that far.
Quite frankly, the difficulty of that set of waves is such a huge wall that we will treat it as the end of the game for us. Extremely enjoyable due to the challenge up until that stage =) Thanks for your effort into this map!

Thanks for the comments/replies!

I apologize for the tardiness of this comment. I haven't had as much free time as I suspected, much less any to work on the map, but I appreciate your comments. I'm sure you all (well, maybe) have been busy as well! I hope you can relax at least a bit during the summer. I'm glad some of you have enjoyed the map.

- Anyhow, I was unable to produce the boss 4 bug that was mentioned earlier. The trigger checks out to be fine as well. As a precaution, I've modified the skill stats to make it unlikely to occur.
- Thank you for the item correction. Angel wand has been fixed.
- I was also unable to produce the creeps getting stuck bug, but I have an idea that might prevent that, so thank you for the comment.
- About the regeneration - yes, I agree it needed to be fixed. ;) That said, the total only came to 35-50hp regen/sec on that wave [although with rejuv that would be pushed near 100 if you didn't dispel] depending on the unit/difficulty, not 200. In any case, I reduced the regeneration by about half plus a fixed value, so it should be much more forgiving.

This update was so small I didn't think it deserved a new version, but if I find some more free time, I will definitely consider adding more content.

Mirror shield is undroppable for some reason. That's all I found so far for bugs.
