28. Added a random hero alter.

V5.2.2

33. Balanced more abilities and edited some bad tooltips
34. Put in creep kills in multiboard and put up messages for creep hero kills as who killed him and for how much gold and lumber


Concept of the map and mechanics:
  • The object of the game is to destroy the other player’s Orc Warlord and to defend your own. Creeps spawn in the center of the map every 310 seconds and you can get ALOT of gold from them. In addition There are 3 boss creeps that I added and these bosses are obvious (becuase of thier size) and when you kill them you not only get a good sized gold bonus but you get 15 lumber (per boss kill). The Lumber is used to buy the best item in the game (costs 20 lumber) and you can buy 1 lumber for 500 so this will dramatically reduce the cost of this item! With every kill of units or hero’s you get gold (more gold for hero's than for units.
  • The hero’s max level is 50, all ability's have 5 skill levels, ultimate has 2 skills levels, Attribute bonus has 25 skill levels. I have many custom spells and custom skins in my map to make gameplay more exciting.
  • There are 48 different items that you can buy. Charged items can be stacked.
  • There are 3 researchable units and upgrades for those units go up to level 25. The exeption is Berserker Strength upgrade which only goes up to level 15 (due to them being too imbalanced if they get any more than 1000 health.
  • Commands are Repick hero's (just type –repick) You can Random your hero by Selecting Random Hero Alter However you cannot repick (but randomed hero's get a special item).
  • This is a map was inspired by 12 Way Grunt Wars, Footmen Frenzy Style maps, and my love of orcs!
AI: I made the AI work (upgrade, Random Hero's, attack, Target enemy Hero's, and cast spells).

Credits For Custom Skins And Spells: Tauer, BerZeKeR, Cyberkid, Dionesiist, Estar, Frostwolf, General Frank, Hell_Kn, Zack1996 (If I forgot anybody please let me know and I'll put the credits on here!).

Protecting the map really slows down the review process, if you post an unprotected map we can look through the code and give you tips. Not only that but we can get a sneak peak of what we are going to play.
This is a respectful community and we won't steal your map. :p
If you feel uncomfortable with posting an unprotected version I would at least post the triggers.
I'll be sure to give this a full review tomorrow :)

It was fun to play.
Bad things I have faced are:
bug when both orc nerds used ultimate, 1 of them got bugged, he was vulnerable, couldnt move and had only aura skill left.
Heroes skills are too powerful?
Only later in game units became usefull. note - if you upgrade health to 1000+ and enemy have low damage you can just skip enemy units and just atack their warchief what is realy annoying.

That random creep spawn was fun and good gold bonus.

glad you had fun zeus. And about Grunt Nerd's Special, I just changed his special ability and his other ability scattershot and gave him 2 new abilities (since the old 2 abilities leaked sometimes causing the game to crash). So that will not b a problem once I put up V5.1.2 .
What suggestions do you have for
note - if you upgrade health to 1000+ and enemy have low damage you can just skip enemy units and just atack their warchief what is realy annoying.
And thanx for reviewing my map.
