Main things that you couldn't find at any other survive maps:
-You may capture neutral vehicles
-you may call for reinforcements
-you have a primary objective "survive" and a secondsry "defend building"
-you have 13 different proffessions to choose
-you have excellent maded multiboard .
-you have 50 levels of skills(some skills have less levels) and 446 levels for heroes
-beautiful save\load that save not a proffession with exp (as at others survive maps) but only exp,so you may test all of professions.
-random startup proffessions
-singleplay mode with it's own save (game cache)
10 waves
4 bosses
3 loose cinematics
1 win cinematic(may be at new versions will be more)

Interesting this map have 1st place in a russian map contest.(first place for gameplay and balancing).But from european friends i could hear nothing about it No reaction at all :\

 

[VGsatomi]

I think thats because you are one of, what, a dozen Russain map makers....?

[VampireKB]

not one, but not a bad one,as not a good one.
Just here i have no comments about this map...

of course i may understand that it will be like with battlefield map that becomes favorite at b.net only 3 months later.......

 

[VampireKB]

About new version people say(russians)
:This game really kick ass for Notd and Dotd ,becaurse it's a first action survive map where you really need to be quick.

 

[VGsatomi]

Vampire, don't expect people to comment about your maps in the forums...thats what the map comments sections are for. Expect them there before expecting them here.

hmm... about that secondary mission "defend building" it isnt listed in the quests. though i think i may have found it - is it the far top left building? the one near the water? (i say this because i've noticed items just popping outta nowhere if ya stay on the building for so long)

on another note i've had a few instances where the map just kicks me as soon as i load my level 11 code. i dont have any special symbols in my name so i don't know what could be causing this. also had a few times where the entire map would decide to "stripe" itself. thick black and bright green horizontal stripes, which i've personally never seen in ANY map.

I'd recommend that instead of placing x units on the spawns, just upgrde the health/armor/move&attack speed on the units to be placed for the different difficulties... or people like me actually type 9999999999999 (13 9's as stated as max level) which is automatically dropped to 1316236531 or w/e it is, and then spawns that many zombies in each spawn point... needless to say that's an instant WC3 drop-out. even setting it to 20 causes massive lag after only 4-5 minutes. so i would recommend either removing or a heavy change to the "pick my level" option for difficulty.

give some form of arrangement to the unit selecting at the start. i played about 18 games in a row yesterday just to find that people are "accidently" picking the wrong units just because they didnt realize they are more or less randomly thrown into the picking area. maybe even making it so that more than one person can pick the same thing. (had over 20 people just leave because they couldnt be flamethrower or sniper after the first 2-3 people picked them)

other than that its a GREAT game. and the exact xp save code is perfect for the difficulty of play.

btw if you want help translating everything to full english just ask, it really wouldnt bother me at all to help. then again, up to you and is ok as is.

Oh, that's something to do with fog of war. I can't remember exactly what it is, but sometimes it occurs in maps with fog of war.

ok
1) save code is working properly with names (i made tests with names from 2 till 20 symbols)
If it have an error you may see this in a dialog form ( acsess granted or denied at 1nd or 2nd security level)
2)Yes there is a "white house" at top-down of a map.
At version 1.1 that objective have been deleted course ppl wanna "camp" at different locations like it was at meat 2 so i delete loose condition. but if building will die noone will gain +5 levels after winning map
3) About green fog of war.. Hmm noone say me about this errors but several ppl really want me to take it off the map.(Meat 2 was red,now green or will be none)
4) i remove any lags by blocking of creating additional units (food limit).
So ppl have an effect of "a lot of monsters from everywhere" .
5) difficulty level have been creating because ppl at high levels could easily won this game.
(You may look the same situation at Dotd ,where monster levels are leasted.)
6) About upgrading. That's interesting of course but there are different monster spawn. That means not only ground or air, but bosses,explotion monsters and ,of course, invisible units.
7)random preffession chosing have beeb made for a better gameplay, Of course Cyborg+ Flamethrower + 1 Engineer + Demolisher + Medic + Drive is a great "dream team" that have everything thay want...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

P.S. all ideas about "how to advance this map" write here (credits will be)

At other versions will be increase number of abilities for other proffessons and increase number of items.

 

[VampireKB]

And nothing.. silence :\ Pity that noone wanna to test it..
Interesting would be it the same opinion for this map if i'll say that it's a combination of:
Dotd+Re+Notd+Aftermath+Meat 2 ?

WoW
at battle.net saw ppl that [i know how much need to play to gain levels,and i saw their levels] play more than 10 games. And several of them say that they make "remake" more than 20 per "night".
That's better than Notd [ max saw 13 remakes by 1 way] but not enough for DotD 3 [2-3 hosts with the same number of remakes as NotD
