Mercenary Call V50.9
Created by: TheSilverHand
Map Decorated/Redesigned by: GenoHacker
Helped with the map: Arcane, Exotuma
Music made by: MelNefys
[Map History]
This map was created by me, "TheSilverHand" aka "DanassanyKat", I have worked on this map since 2018, got inspired by a another friend's map that used to be based around waves of creeps and you could buy abilities, but these abilities would be based on your hero level and cap at max level. This map started off as a small 4 lane arena map, which later grew into what it is now. a 4 lane hero defense map, originally the map used Lives, then it had a castle in the middle, then it moved back to lives again, castle was a good idea, but I wanted to make it a bit more punishing for not being there to protect your lane. Bosses where added as a challenge for players, a powerful guy with massive DMG/HEALTH! but in return, if you let him reach your lives, you lose 10.
The map once again uses a Castle in the middle.
[Map Info]
Mercenary Call is a deep, system-driven Hero Defense map where players survive 10 progressively harder waves of enemies while customizing their hero through spells, passives, orbs, summons, and talents/glyphs.
Each wave will throw random creeps from Wc3 into your match, randomization is a good feature because you Never know what kind of match you will face against, will it be a simple push of 400 footmen? a push of 400 MORTARS!? who knows, because it is purely randomized. For the first wave, you're against 3 random bosses which are different, an ORC, a DARK KNIGHT, or even a Necromancer? each wave set is unique, if you got a Captain, your against footmen and bandits, if you're against a necromancer, SKELETONS?!?! if you're against ORC... oh no.. is that.. a gnoll?? what?? because its randomized.
Every wave spawn, there is a 70% chance for an Elite, a mob that has a bit more health, bonus dmg, and slightly different than the others. they reward you with more gold on death.
40% chance for a Miniboss to spawn, he has even more health and damage, a bit of a bigger threat, but that's not the worst of it
10% chance for a TITAN, they have a LARGE health pool and damage output, they are LARGE and can be in large numbers if the spawner decides it wants chaos.
[How do you Lose?]
- Lifes: At the start of the map, players get to vote for how many lives your team will get, you can also buy more lives at the Power merchant in spawn.
::Lose Life:: You will only lose lives if all towers, barracks, and castles are gone.
Castle - The castle is invulnerable unless all barracks have been destroyed. Castle will heal allies overtime and has access to a few special perks, "Reinforcements Upgrade" which allows players to upgrade the backup reinforcements. As you upgrade this, your allied towers will get stronger overtime and the Healing ability that the castle has will upgrade as well.
Barracks - The Barracks are connected to a tower, if your tower is destroyed then the barracks will go vulnerable. Losing the barracks will stop the lane reinforcements from spawning. They are permanently gone if destroyed. The Barracks can be upgraded to have more units spawn for the backup wave, it has a max tier of 4. Tier 2 will allow Footmen, Tier 3 will allow Archers, and Tier 4 will allow Captains.
Towers - Once a tower has been destroyed it can be repaired, the barracks will be 100% Restored of lost health, towers can be upgraded to a stronger variant, tower upgrades will reward the upgrader with gold income.
[How do you Win?]
There is a total of 10 waves once you have completed the final wave on 10, you will take the fight to the final boss, however, if the final boss enters the circle, you will instantly lose. there is no redo's for the final boss fight.
This map has respawning mobs as well, once you get a kill the mob will respawn over a 30 second time period, grind for gold when you can to get strong gear. To the north (Top) in the shop center you have access to strong expensive items, to the east (Right) you have access to your spells, that's right, you build with your own spell choices, some spells are very unique on how they work, as you use them, some spells will combo with others. to the South (Bottom) you have starting or cheap items, where you can upgrade or get some unique buffed starting gear. to the West (Left) you have glyphs that appear as tomes next to a black smith, and below you have the power shops. the glyphs are sort of level capped required, you can refund them by buying them again. Black Smith has access to Upgrades for things such as "Gold Pouch" or upgrading a max upgraded item to a legendary variant. Power shops grant you the ability to upgrade your [Modifiers].
The map has a group system, Tank / Healer / DPS
as you level up your hero will get bonus stats based on your choice.
Tanks will get bonus to Item Modifier along with Versatility, as they are meant to tank the hits. The tank will get no major bonus to spirit to prevent them from healing themselves.
Healer will get bigger bonus to Item Modifier, Spirit. Healers are not big DPS Dealers, therefore they do not deal as much spell damage or conjuration than the DPS heroes. As a healer you unlock the ability to damage allies and heal them for the damage they take, you are not hurting your allies. there is a glyph which can be unlocked for a high level. which will allow the user to attack allies to heal them.
DPS will get a nice bonus to Spell Power and Conjuration, they hardly get any bonus to Spirit, they are DPS not healers.
"A-What are Glyphs?" / "B-Can you get as many of them as you like?"
A: Glyphs are a sort of power up which are permanent once you have unlocked them, you can get a nice permanent bonus to spell power / Spirit, or you can get a passive range upgrade which constantly cycles.
B: Yes, you can unlock as many Glyphs as you please, buying them more than once will refund you total cost as well.
[Modifiers]
Conjuration - With summons you use your Mob Health x Conjuration.
Spell Power - Spell DMG x Spell Power
Spirit - Healing Spell DMG x Spirit
Versatility - Every 3/sec, you will heal based on your versatility, half for your mana. When someone heals you, your versatility is added to your hero.
Item Modifier - Certain items get enhanced effects based on your Modifier, However this is available later in game depending on Difficulty.
[Map Heroes]
There is a grand total of 18 Heroes, all of which are unique in how they act, you choose spells during game play, and anyone can build how they want, but I recommend you build based on what your role was selected, not having a TANK to take blows for your team will lead to a wipe, or having no healer will mean more leaves or angry chatters. DPS is a good thing to have, but without someone to take the blows. you're destined to fall.
How does one Fall? If your towers in the middle are destroyed your lives become vulnerable. Depending on your live count, you are given a chance, chances will let you try again and again until you are all out of chances, your lives reset after each wave.
you are against a POWERFUL boss at the end of the map, which you will need DPS in order to kill him.
Will you survive the 10 waves of chaos? Guess its time to find out?
Gameplay from the past, these are from this map, though they are from older versions.

"What does [DD] stand for?"
DD stands for Damage Detection. I am trying to see how well the map can hold under heavy fire. For example, I want to make it where the map has a backstab dmg. Using the Damage Detection system made by Bribe. I want to see how well I can use it and how well the map can hold it. (If you know anyone who can help out with Damage Dealing and etc.. let me know!)

12/18/2025
Removed Hero Special(s) // Ressing your hero is no longer available on Normal+ Difficulty // Removed Long Shop Ranges // Sell at 70% // Players can get 8 Spells Now // Thunder Clap / War Stomp now only affect units and Nonhero // Bosses are TOUGH. // Removed Gambling Options // Infinite Gold Coin now has a 3 sec cd // Removed Attributes from being added to your Spell DMG. Changed Tank Armor to be NOT so tanky, it only has 10% Reduction that Hero armor has. Damage Types have changed from being pure Chaos or Hero to bieng Magic, Pierce, Normal, Chaos, Hero for different hero types.
12/21/2025
Nerfed a few Hero Specials, Nerfed a few Items, Upgraded Bosses to make them Stronger, Added an Huge Health Pool / Damage Pool for mobs when they first spawn, decreases after 5 seconds, Added back Unique Lanes, Nerfed Critical Strike.
12/22/2025
Tooltip Error / Bugs / Unique Lanes / Creeps spawn doing tons of DMG which fades overtime / Crit was nerfed / Few Item abilities nerfed / Bosses Upgraded / Wandering Creeps are back / Coming soon: Events / Added Unique modifiers for Roles (Tank/Dps/Healer)
12/24/2025
Fixed Arcane Hunter and MS not working together, Added Easter Eggs, Added Presents back, Barrels, and Crates, Added back the Item Modifier (Costs wood now), Added new Bounty system, when you get a Kill, 5% of your Income is added to the Bounty, Killer's Income is used and reward is given to everyone. Income has been changed to every 10 seconds, and Bosses are Nerfed, removed their Rage abilities. Changed Icon for the Spell book to that of an original spell book. Added a terrible event that occurs when you break 4 levers. (Wont tell you which.) If player 12 (AI) gets a kill, the bonus wont be applied, only Players can get the Kill and will be rewarded. Reward is equal to: Bounty + Income, RTD: If the roll is higher than your Luck, then player will get base bounty, IF the roll was UNDER, they will get 2x the bounty amount, IF the Roll was EQUAL to your Luck, you will get 3x Bounty. This will only be possible once again players. Added Tank Belt to the Item Modifier, Item Mod has been reimplemented, however, it no longer needs gold to be upgraded but instead 400 Lumber. Lumber is only gained from Kills which does count if u grind at Maroon or NH creeps. Since Item mod is pretty broken, the price for lumber is fair IMO. More lanes = more lumber = more profit. GOLD coin was rebuffed from 3 seconds to 1 second, which instead of doing /2 the value, it will now give full gold instead. So now all players will be happy together. Changed some other things around the map, GOLD INCOME has been changed to 10 seconds. The Mirrage Axe changes: You can now do Illusions of any mob including hostile mobs, the Illusion will ONLY do 70% DMG and will take 30% more damage. I have added in 5 new mobs to the mob spawner, I added Arcane Vault as a hostile mob, Scout which is just a doggo, I also added in Karen and Kyle, Karens will have the ability to throw boulders, but their dmg is very low so it wont do much of an impact, it will be funny to see people react to this, hope it ok.

Map Decorated/Redesigned by: GenoHacker
Helped with the map: Arcane, Exotuma
Music made by: MelNefys
[Map History]
This map was created by me, "TheSilverHand" aka "DanassanyKat", I have worked on this map since 2018, got inspired by a another friend's map that used to be based around waves of creeps and you could buy abilities, but these abilities would be based on your hero level and cap at max level. This map started off as a small 4 lane arena map, which later grew into what it is now. a 4 lane hero defense map, originally the map used Lives, then it had a castle in the middle, then it moved back to lives again, castle was a good idea, but I wanted to make it a bit more punishing for not being there to protect your lane. Bosses where added as a challenge for players, a powerful guy with massive DMG/HEALTH! but in return, if you let him reach your lives, you lose 10.
The map once again uses a Castle in the middle.
[Map Info]
Mercenary Call is a deep, system-driven Hero Defense map where players survive 10 progressively harder waves of enemies while customizing their hero through spells, passives, orbs, summons, and talents/glyphs.
Each wave will throw random creeps from Wc3 into your match, randomization is a good feature because you Never know what kind of match you will face against, will it be a simple push of 400 footmen? a push of 400 MORTARS!? who knows, because it is purely randomized. For the first wave, you're against 3 random bosses which are different, an ORC, a DARK KNIGHT, or even a Necromancer? each wave set is unique, if you got a Captain, your against footmen and bandits, if you're against a necromancer, SKELETONS?!?! if you're against ORC... oh no.. is that.. a gnoll?? what?? because its randomized.
Every wave spawn, there is a 70% chance for an Elite, a mob that has a bit more health, bonus dmg, and slightly different than the others. they reward you with more gold on death.
40% chance for a Miniboss to spawn, he has even more health and damage, a bit of a bigger threat, but that's not the worst of it
10% chance for a TITAN, they have a LARGE health pool and damage output, they are LARGE and can be in large numbers if the spawner decides it wants chaos.
[How do you Lose?]
- Lifes: At the start of the map, players get to vote for how many lives your team will get, you can also buy more lives at the Power merchant in spawn.
::Lose Life:: You will only lose lives if all towers, barracks, and castles are gone.
Castle - The castle is invulnerable unless all barracks have been destroyed. Castle will heal allies overtime and has access to a few special perks, "Reinforcements Upgrade" which allows players to upgrade the backup reinforcements. As you upgrade this, your allied towers will get stronger overtime and the Healing ability that the castle has will upgrade as well.
Barracks - The Barracks are connected to a tower, if your tower is destroyed then the barracks will go vulnerable. Losing the barracks will stop the lane reinforcements from spawning. They are permanently gone if destroyed. The Barracks can be upgraded to have more units spawn for the backup wave, it has a max tier of 4. Tier 2 will allow Footmen, Tier 3 will allow Archers, and Tier 4 will allow Captains.
Towers - Once a tower has been destroyed it can be repaired, the barracks will be 100% Restored of lost health, towers can be upgraded to a stronger variant, tower upgrades will reward the upgrader with gold income.
[How do you Win?]
There is a total of 10 waves once you have completed the final wave on 10, you will take the fight to the final boss, however, if the final boss enters the circle, you will instantly lose. there is no redo's for the final boss fight.
This map has respawning mobs as well, once you get a kill the mob will respawn over a 30 second time period, grind for gold when you can to get strong gear. To the north (Top) in the shop center you have access to strong expensive items, to the east (Right) you have access to your spells, that's right, you build with your own spell choices, some spells are very unique on how they work, as you use them, some spells will combo with others. to the South (Bottom) you have starting or cheap items, where you can upgrade or get some unique buffed starting gear. to the West (Left) you have glyphs that appear as tomes next to a black smith, and below you have the power shops. the glyphs are sort of level capped required, you can refund them by buying them again. Black Smith has access to Upgrades for things such as "Gold Pouch" or upgrading a max upgraded item to a legendary variant. Power shops grant you the ability to upgrade your [Modifiers].
The map has a group system, Tank / Healer / DPS
as you level up your hero will get bonus stats based on your choice.
Tanks will get bonus to Item Modifier along with Versatility, as they are meant to tank the hits. The tank will get no major bonus to spirit to prevent them from healing themselves.
Healer will get bigger bonus to Item Modifier, Spirit. Healers are not big DPS Dealers, therefore they do not deal as much spell damage or conjuration than the DPS heroes. As a healer you unlock the ability to damage allies and heal them for the damage they take, you are not hurting your allies. there is a glyph which can be unlocked for a high level. which will allow the user to attack allies to heal them.
DPS will get a nice bonus to Spell Power and Conjuration, they hardly get any bonus to Spirit, they are DPS not healers.
"A-What are Glyphs?" / "B-Can you get as many of them as you like?"
A: Glyphs are a sort of power up which are permanent once you have unlocked them, you can get a nice permanent bonus to spell power / Spirit, or you can get a passive range upgrade which constantly cycles.
B: Yes, you can unlock as many Glyphs as you please, buying them more than once will refund you total cost as well.
[Modifiers]
Conjuration - With summons you use your Mob Health x Conjuration.
Spell Power - Spell DMG x Spell Power
Spirit - Healing Spell DMG x Spirit
Versatility - Every 3/sec, you will heal based on your versatility, half for your mana. When someone heals you, your versatility is added to your hero.
Item Modifier - Certain items get enhanced effects based on your Modifier, However this is available later in game depending on Difficulty.
[Map Heroes]
There is a grand total of 18 Heroes, all of which are unique in how they act, you choose spells during game play, and anyone can build how they want, but I recommend you build based on what your role was selected, not having a TANK to take blows for your team will lead to a wipe, or having no healer will mean more leaves or angry chatters. DPS is a good thing to have, but without someone to take the blows. you're destined to fall.
How does one Fall? If your towers in the middle are destroyed your lives become vulnerable. Depending on your live count, you are given a chance, chances will let you try again and again until you are all out of chances, your lives reset after each wave.
you are against a POWERFUL boss at the end of the map, which you will need DPS in order to kill him.
Will you survive the 10 waves of chaos? Guess its time to find out?
Gameplay from the past, these are from this map, though they are from older versions.

"What does [DD] stand for?"
DD stands for Damage Detection. I am trying to see how well the map can hold under heavy fire. For example, I want to make it where the map has a backstab dmg. Using the Damage Detection system made by Bribe. I want to see how well I can use it and how well the map can hold it. (If you know anyone who can help out with Damage Dealing and etc.. let me know!)
In this version of the game, you'll find fewer leaks, fewer lag spikes, but you'll take quite the beating from huge mobs when turning your back. (DO NOT turn your back to them..)

Changed Tank Armor to be NOT so tanky, it only has 10% Reduction that Hero armor has. Damage Types have changed from being pure Chaos or Hero to bieng Magic, Pierce, Normal, Chaos, Hero for different hero types.
12/21/2025
Nerfed a few Hero Specials, Nerfed a few Items, Upgraded Bosses to make them Stronger, Added an Huge Health Pool / Damage Pool for mobs when they first spawn, decreases after 5 seconds, Added back Unique Lanes, Nerfed Critical Strike.
12/22/2025
Tooltip Error / Bugs / Unique Lanes / Creeps spawn doing tons of DMG which fades overtime / Crit was nerfed / Few Item abilities nerfed / Bosses Upgraded / Wandering Creeps are back / Coming soon: Events / Added Unique modifiers for Roles (Tank/Dps/Healer)
12/24/2025
Fixed Arcane Hunter and MS not working together, Added Easter Eggs, Added Presents back, Barrels, and Crates, Added back the Item Modifier (Costs wood now), Added new Bounty system, when you get a Kill, 5% of your Income is added to the Bounty, Killer's Income is used and reward is given to everyone. Income has been changed to every 10 seconds, and Bosses are Nerfed, removed their Rage abilities. Changed Icon for the Spell book to that of an original spell book. Added a terrible event that occurs when you break 4 levers. (Wont tell you which.) If player 12 (AI) gets a kill, the bonus wont be applied, only Players can get the Kill and will be rewarded. Reward is equal to: Bounty + Income, RTD: If the roll is higher than your Luck, then player will get base bounty, IF the roll was UNDER, they will get 2x the bounty amount, IF the Roll was EQUAL to your Luck, you will get 3x Bounty. This will only be possible once again players. Added Tank Belt to the Item Modifier, Item Mod has been reimplemented, however, it no longer needs gold to be upgraded but instead 400 Lumber. Lumber is only gained from Kills which does count if u grind at Maroon or NH creeps. Since Item mod is pretty broken, the price for lumber is fair IMO. More lanes = more lumber = more profit. GOLD coin was rebuffed from 3 seconds to 1 second, which instead of doing /2 the value, it will now give full gold instead. So now all players will be happy together.
Changed some other things around the map, GOLD INCOME has been changed to 10 seconds. The Mirrage Axe changes: You can now do Illusions of any mob including hostile mobs, the Illusion will ONLY do 70% DMG and will take 30% more damage. I have added in 5 new mobs to the mob spawner, I added Arcane Vault as a hostile mob, Scout which is just a doggo, I also added in Karen and Kyle, Karens will have the ability to throw boulders, but their dmg is very low so it wont do much of an impact, it will be funny to see people react to this, hope it ok.1/31/2026

- Pack dog / pack dragon collision has been changed to being the same as Pack Horse.

Be sure to complete the credits list: Resources in Use by Custom Hero Defense[TSH].18.8C | HIVE Names are missing.
Not sure how this will play out in 21 players, hopefully not lagging.
So while this could be fun, it's buggy.

- Some heroes have a native ability, some don't?
- Mostly Warcraft III material was used.
- When learned, Critical Strike has an active ability icon. Other spells in the shops even though passive should look active like when you learn them and look passive after they are learnt.
- Since everyone can choose whichever spells they want, there isn't that much diversity or uniqueness between heroes.
- Not sure if intended but the unselectable people are hunting neutral hostile units around the map.
- What does [T] mean before or in enemy names?
- Never heard of * for the temperature sign. Must be this map universe's scale.
- Not sure if spamming [Elite] multiple times in the murloc's name is a good idea.
- The gnoll boss came from the west and went somewhere to the north and then came from there. It didn't shoot any Shadow Strike.
- Not sure if it was necessary to replace the command card icons especially as they look passive now. Could make them active with: Button Manager v1.8.2
- Some times enemy waves don't come together. Some elites go over the map for some time before deciding to come to the center. Talking about the orange [Elite] [Elite] units or even more [Elite] [Elite] etc. units. They go to the northeastern camp where there are some tents and a small circle of power, try to get out of there passing the bridge but they return again to the circle multiple times. Because of that, they always get an additional [Elite] in their name until the whole name can't be read anymore. Same with bosses for some reason.
- The Sea Elemental boss has the same abilities as the gnoll boss?
- Then a harpy elite appeared and started doing the same only it came as soon as going once to the circle.
- The Sea Elemental boss came, attacked the castle two times, went a little towards the left and stopped.
- A gnoll elite went trough the north path and almost got killed by the Locust/unselectable allied units. One was killed in the southeast.
Not sure how this will play out in 21 players, hopefully not lagging.

O - When it comes to 21 players, I have played it with a few people. The map didn't have any lag and no one got upset with it.
O - I gave credits to the stuff I used, Not the ones that aren't used. And even if I missed some1, I will need to find out what I missed. ( A lot of the models also come from Blizzard entertainment, like 90% of the Icons. )
O - I used button manager for the Intelligence / Strength / Agility Icons on players.
O - Yeah... I'm not sure why but a few of the units are ordered to attack the Dwarven Hunter Camp, I fixed it when I last used WE, but I'm trying to figure out what is causing all the bugs...
O - I use to give all heroes a special perk, but I removed most since it was kind of hard to find a good perk for them. The ones who still have it make them unique compared to others. Like for instance, Necromancer on Kill gets a ghoul, dark ranger gets a minion, and mage has spalsh.. etc... It's just for a more unique pick.
O - [T] = Tank,
As I have said above.
O - I know there is a few more bugs such as the Barrage, And others. Idk how it got bugged since it was using standard abilities. Maybe it's just my luck?
--
If you find any more bugs and etc.. Please alert me, I'm trying to fix the map, but damn these bugs are annoying af.

Mention that. Anything used that's not in the original game should be credited.
That's like totally something unrelated, except for the program thing?
Well, use your imagination. Also, the necromancer and dark ranger basically have the same trait.
For bug fixing, you have to test, test and test.

I didn't really liked spell shops. It is overwhelming and adds complexity where it's not needed. Any classes can picks up any spells making the game
If a player with a large hitbox stays on top of a NPC, the NPC is not accessible any more.
There is a typo in the command help menu, see screenshot.
But the map is very cool to play.

Hi,
Tome of Retraining is bugged. It gave me 250 lumber at the start of the game (had like 3 skills learnt all level 1).
Highly reproducible. Definitely a bug.

I'm done working on maps. I've spent years developing stuff, and now blizzard won't let me have fun making them. If anyone wants to work on the map feel free to continue it off where it was.
(I've asked Geno if he can fix the map before I update the map. I've no longer got Battle.net launcher or the game installed. Anyways we'll see if anyone can fix the map.)
(And I lied, I love wc3 too much to just leave it... even if blizzard is the gateway to the Abyss.)

The most recent patch is at the bottom, the top one is the past. If people prefer for it to be broken as can be and have no damage detection system involved they can use that patch.
Edit: LOL, I just realize I messaged the wrong person, sorry. I meant to @ the person who asked the question.

Great you appreciate my short review.
Well I'm thinking "I should rate something for what it is not what I like or dislike", like food or books critic, they rate by the effort and talent, even if a judge don't like tomato and a cook did a surprising mix of tomato in a cake, he can put a good rating.
So that's what I did
If you have maps in the same type optimized with solo don't hesitate to tell me

Review:
Gameplay : spell shops are overwhelming and adds complexity where it's not needed. But other gameplay aspects are fine and make the map fun to play for me.
Map Layout (eg terrain): The terrain is beautiful, you have skillfully used different terrain brushes of WE to create amazing landscapes. Doodads/props are also placed in a skillful way.
Conclusion: Its a good map overall, but there is still room for improvement. 5 out of 5 stars.

hmmmm I don't get all this good reviews. With 4 Players tested 2 lanes and got heavy steamrolled... You just even as tank die almost instant to wave at second wave.
current state unplayable due to difficult
tested the 45.5 map version (when you download you get 3 different maps???
gonna change rating when changes are made.
EDIT 28.05.2024: Added screenshot from 45.6 versions, see yourself, unbalance and performance isn't that great
First boss has 120k hitpoints (while your basic attack deals like 500 dmg)

Thanks for another interesting map. Three small suggestions:
1. Game Difficulty: Could a lower game difficulty have longer attack intervals or weaker monster strength? (Retry attempts are mostly useless because once the defense towers are destroyed, they cannot be restored.)
2. Can defense towers be upgraded? If so, where to upgrade?
3. The initial skill "Mage Armor" of Hero Lieutenant causes the hero to be knocked back for a long time after being attacked, making it impossible to respond to any actions for a period. Could this feature be removed?

1. Game Difficulty: Could a lower game difficulty have longer attack intervals or weaker monster strength? (Retry attempts are mostly useless because once the defense towers are destroyed, they cannot be restored.)
2. Can defense towers be upgraded? If so, where to upgrade?

1. I can add in some sort of Difficulty Vote to the map, monster attack speed was set to being lower back in older versions, their movement speed is reduced but will get faster as they enter the Circle (you lose lives) and so fourth, but yeah I can reintroduce those options, maybe if you want, I can add in a vote for the spawn length of the mosnters, they are usually set to 8 second spawn intervals by default.Thanks for another interesting map. Three small suggestions:

2. I will reintroduce the system where you can upgrade towers, you used to be able to upgrade them in once again older versions, you can also get a repair wrench and repair the towers to keep them around. The map isnt EXACTLY designed for solo play as I recommend at least 4 players, but if you prefer solo, that's up to you.
3. Yeah I witnessed someone playing the Lieutenant before with Mage Armor, but i thought it was their abilities breaking or something. I'll remove that from his arsenal though. thanks for the heads up.
Any other suggestions are 100% welcomed, I will update the map later and add them into the upcoming version of the map. Currently I introduced 2 new items, Shovel & Pickaxe, shovel costs 1250 Gold and will give you a 1/10 chance to get items, 6/10 chance to get a level 1, 3/10 chance for a level 2, and 1/10 chance to get a level 3 item. I pushed for gold upgrade changes to the Rings and the pickaxe will be used later to allow players to craft certain items or unique things later on. we'll see what the future has in store for the pickaxe
Thanks for playing my map!

Been playing this for the last couple days, have found some things that do not work in my playthroughs, Incinerate seems to not do damage to certain mobs, but will do damage to other's such as zombie etc but won't work on a bandit spearthrower
Burning Oil will not destroy the barrels inside the starting zone, i believe it might not even work against the crates inside the base
Pack Dogs model will not fit in the west side defensive position where a mortar team and archers are, same goes for flame keeper.
Gallen Blackthorn will mind control the Militia hero and spawn millions of COA Peasants and crash your game
Another thing, does boosting team or private income matter at all? it seems to me that it doesn't do anything at all
Buying the Upgrade for Conjuration does not work at all

- I will look into Incinerate / Burning Oil
I have fixed Pack Dog model collision being the same as Pack Horse.
I have updated Gallen in latest patch. I will do some testing W/ Incinerate and Burning Oil, There was a bug with his Trigger that I forgot to remove, it would constantly repeat the cycle and I fixed to only happen once. He does Mind control heroes in general, but its only for 10 seconds.
Boosting yourself will grant +2 Gold income per 10 seconds, Doing it as a team will reward everyone w/ bonus to their attributes as you use it. When you kill a mob, 5% of your gold income is added to the bounty kills given to all players.
Example: Unit dies
5% of Gold Income + Random# 6-12 = Bounty, it is given to everyone.
It depended on what role you play, if you are a Tank, your conjuration is 0.85 (In latest patch which I am working on atm, Everyone will start @ 1.0 on all stats instead of having unique modifiers, I wanted to see how much of an impact this has done, and having below 1.0 on conjuration causes this bug, since you can NOT multiply health by 0.08 because its equals to 0. Therefore, I am working on a solution and I have decided to revert this modifier.
If you have any other issues, please let me know and I will actively make changes as I go. Thanks!
Ps. If there is any changes you would like, please let me know. K Thanks!

Dark Summon was made to only affect nonhero units, its states it on the tooltip as well, it was changed this way because it would bug out your hero if they died and you tried to use the summon on your hero, it would permanently freeze them. you would not be able to resurrect at all.
