My Map: "Bloodfang Arena"

[Wrathblade]

Hi guys,

I'm working on my first Arena Map. I'd like to put also some special things in this arena, like Elevators, Gates, etc. in it. It should be a bit like Angel Arena, but a bit more special. A little mix of Arena and DotA

First, I'm using some Models and Icons, I think, every good Arena Map will look, with something like that, good. But what for a Hero-Choosing system is good for a Arena Map? A system with Whisps, Runes and Circles (Warchasers-like), or Taverns? And then, is it good to use elevators to get into special places? Is it good to make hidden Shops in the arena?

I hope you can give me some tips.
Thanks for the upcoming help.
greez, Wrathblade.

Your game idea is exactly what I was working on awhile back, i think the circle of power with wisp pick is a go system to good by for hero picking, you dont wanna make a map thats too much like dota...

Hidden shops, elevators and gates placed right would make a good game.
For a real good game you want to have LOTS of different items and item combinations, like crafting type stuff(makes more interesting).

I thought about a Item crafting system, but my skill in making good triggers is not so good. Don't you have a idea how to make this system. I would give you credits then, in my map.
