Map Info/Gameplay

Playable by up to 10 players on the same team, start off by picking a hero. Enter the arena with your allies and defend yourself against Illidan's endless number of minions. Successfully finishing a level will net you bonus gold and a trip to the shopping area - where you can heal up, buy tomes and items to aid you in your endeavor. Each arena presents stronger and higher number of foes - some levels will even have unique bosses with special abilities to challenge your teamwork and skills. Survive your way up to level 16 and defeat Illidan and his new, scaly friends to win. Avoid dying at all costs - dying will exclude you from the arena until the next level, making it harder for your team to advance.

Each hero plays specific roles - auto attack, spell nuker, tank, healer/support, disabler/bosser, and mobber/utility. Auto attackers are generally good for quick killing/flanking, also very mobile but fragile. Spellcasters/nukers are good for taking out mobs, as well as single target dps, but are fragile and slow. Tanks are somewhat good at mob controlling and can withstand heavy damage. Healer/supports are fragile, slow and unable to attack, but provide teammates with much needed buffs and life/mana boosting spells. Disabler/bossers are somewhat good at mob controling, but specialize in dealing % damage and cc/disabling units. Utility/mobbing heroes are good at crowd controlling and have good mobility, but are bad at killing in general.

Currently 12 playable heroes.

Agility gives .5 damage, and 1 aspd
Str gives 15 hp
Int gives 15 mp
Leveling gives + 1 to all stats
Max level is 100
800 Vision at all times
Base regen of .5 hp/mp for all heroes
Base armor, ms, damage, aspd, health, mana, and starting stats will vary from hero to hero

All heroes have agility as their primary stat. But only a few heroes, benefit from having high agility. Some heroes' attacks have been replaced by a skill more fitting for their role. For example, a healer will have their attack replaced by a healing spell - that heals based on the unit's int. While agility is still their primary stat - int will be more beneficial in increasing that hero's output. Obviously, this is to prevent every hero from becoming auto attacking type heroes. Skills that have replaced attack for some heroes will scale as the game progresses.

Many spells will benefit from having bonus stats. For example, some nukes will do % int damage.

Armor can be upgraded via tome in shop (+50 armor max) 1 armor ea, 40 gold

Extras

This is probably my 2nd or 3rd map that I actually spend some time into. I think its been completed up to the point where I can open up and ask people for help. Although there are still many things I can definitely spot by myself as of now - I really need some public opinions on stuff like balancing, lore, and ideas. Numbers are bound to change in order to suit balance needs.

If I can get players willing to test the game with me - it would be great. I would be more than willing to play with you guys as well. You can message me on hive since I rarely do anything on the computer besides modding and work. You can add me on aim - [email protected] The game needs a bit more work until its finished, got long ways to go before its decent, and will probably never be truly 'completed'. I'd consider the mod currently to be in its beta state. Comments and feedback are more than welcome - please keep them relevant and constructive.

Thanks for your time.

- Bribe's DDS, IsUnitMoving, UnitIndexer
- Cohadar's TT and ABC
- Maker's ArcingTextTag
- Blizzard
- Hive's community
- People who's models and icons I'ved used
- You

Some history behind the map - The mod is edited ontop of another arena/gladiator style mod called 'The Matrix Reloaded' in RoC. Playable by up to 10 players on the same team, in The Matrix Reloaded, you start off by picking one hero. Each hero is named after characters in the Matrix and has a random combination of ladder hero skills. The objective of the game is to survive each level in the arena, a closed, circular shaped battle field where you are pitted against a high number of enemy units. In between levels, you can buy tomes, consumables, combat items, and summoning type items to help you in your struggle. As levels get higher, monsters get stronger and you get to fight bosses. Eventually, you fight Agent Smith and Architect. After defeating them, you win. Night Elves follows a similar concept, but only a little bit of the terrain and cinematic stays true to the original. EVERYTHING except some parts of the terrain has been made completely from scratch by me.

Some things you should know about the mod is that, surviving is the biggest priority because dying is the end for the player.

Now, I want to give credit to the original owner, but the truth is, I have NO IDEA who the owner is. Back when I played this map - there were multiple versions of the map due to lack of the map optimizer. It doesn't seem to be a very well known map either since there aren't topics about the mod on WEH sites.

Working on next - Boss AI/Skills, New Items, Mini-games, More Levels, Better Codes and Ingame vids/heroes. I'm prioritizing stability/functionality over new content.
