Greetings, people. I am Rumplestiltskin, best known as Stiltskin or Steelskin. I'm not new in the mapmaking community, but I am new to this site. Well I always enjoyed makeing custom maps and stuff, but I never did something good. The thing is a have an idea of what can be a good gaming experience at an altered melee warcraft 3 map.
As a former player of warcraft 3, and an actual player of DotA; I must admit both controlling only a hero and controlling a full army, is a ton of fun. So, my idea is to mix them, creating a melee map with this characteristics:
-2 opposing factions.
-1 neutral faction.
-One player raises and controls only an army, the other one levels and controls only a (customized) hero
For the custom heroes I want to focus on the AoE spells and something like dota, with the objective of destroying one special building/thing, with a super powerful ancient like Roshan, and neutral creeps that spawn every minute.
The neutral faction represents a non-hero based player, that can't harvest gold and earns it per second and form selling items and mercenaries to the other factions.
It's still a virgin and fresh incomplete idea. I hope you can help me a bit with what the f""k I can put to this map.
I'm really not good at the World Editor, but wisdom comes with time. To start I want to make a melee map with the gameplay of heroes separated from armies, with the regular warcraft 3 heroes, just to try out if the project is even viable or fun to play.
I'd love to hear your opinions. Dammit I nedd a pic
