Launch the Attack
a Warcraft III Melee Map

The road is laid, ready to launch the attack!
And if you find yourself stuck, pushing back and forth, then look beyond.
The jungles are teemed with dangerous creatures, but through it you might find another path.

Game Information:

  • Enjoy the game

Have Fun

It's a very simplistic altered melee map (mostly due to the ships which don't really offer too much use on this one aside the transport). There is at least one balance issue: too many neutral passive villagers that can be exploited by the undead...

It's a very simplistic altered melee map (mostly due to the ships which don't really offer too much use on this one aside the transport).
There is at least one balance issue: too many neutral passive villagers that can be exploited by the undead players.
The map was not saved on the latest patch since 3 tavern heroes are missing.
Terrain layout pretty much forces aerial attacks since land paths are narrow and cluttered by neutral hostile units.

Simple.

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.

Remarks:
1. For some reason, when I start a 4v4 game with bots, the other 2 always spawn at opposite ends vertically, meaning that when bots want to help me, they have to walk all the way down the middle of the map, to where the center gold mine is, and they will all die to the Granite Golems.
2. I didn't even realize while playing this map that Shipyards exist, you can even destroy them. Because the bodies of water are very confined and provide no shortcut to sneak in enemy bases, I think these are wholly unnecessary and can be removed.
3. The two large creep camps at the center-top and center-bottom contain a Dark Wizard that always drops a Scepter of Healing, one of the most busted items to ever put in a Melee map. Not only can you heal allied non-Undead units and damage enemy Undead units for free, but its passive 2% max health regeneration actually stacks when you kill both camps and give the Scepter of Healing to 2 different heroes, making your army a walking Fountain of Health that is twice more effective, and is basically unkillable.
 
Improved:
The map 'Launch the Attack', has been updated.
  • Make sure to download the newest version: Launch the Attack 0.9.w3x
  • Added 3 lanes with minion waves for each team
  • Added 4 more goldmines
  • Added Quest: Runes
  • Added Gate triggers
  • Change of terrain
  • Edited creeps position and loot
Enjoy!

Good day to you all!
