Nyne's S&A Special Edition

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
The_Nyne's Swords & Armor is my completely revamped version of the classic Swords & Armor(note that I made this completely from scratch). And, there are many new features, such as ranking up, different game modes, unit spawner, and you can pick your race.

So once the game mode is chosen by vote, you pick your race(orc or human), and begin upgrading yourself at your Blacksmith, and fighting creeps in the creep lanes. Items are purchaseable at the stores in the town.

The 3 game modes are Duels, Countdown, and Free mode. In Duels, after a certain amount of time is up, one person from each team will be placed in the arena to fight each other. First team to 10 kills in the arena wins the game. This mode is recommended if you play.

In Countdown, there is a timer of 40 minutes that ticks away, and as it goes down, you level up your hero, upgrade it, and as well as equip it with some very rewarding items. Once the timer runs out, everybody is taken to the middle, for a team on team battle, whichever team is left standing, wins.

And Free Mode is pretty self explanatory, do whatever you want, challenge people to a duel at any time by entering the arena.

The first map I made. Pretty outdated now, but, maybe some will have fun.

Wow, I've played a very, very old version of this map a long time ago...
I must say: the map has improved a lot since then ^^ (I think the old map had 4-5 spawnable enemies, you could only fight with a footman and it had only a few items xD).
Unfortunately, I think I don't have that map anymore (or it's on my old PC, I'll check that later).

You should work on these points, though:
  • The terrain is too flat
  • The button Positions (the medals, for example, are confusing)
  • you might want to increase the MS of the heroes...
  • The orcish weapon (skill) says it gives +4 damage, but it gives +4 Str (main attribute is agi).
  • The Medium axe says it gives agi, while it gives damage ;)
  • Well, in general... fix all the tooltips, add some colors, say exactly what it gives (+10 damage for novice, +20 damage for ... something like that - make something nice from it).
  • Increase the turn rate for the Creep Spawners
  • You might make your hive description look better (with screeny's, hidden/box tags, titles, colors, everything you can think of).
  • Add more variety, just killing units is rather boring (mini-games for example?)

Well, I like some ideas a lot, it's good to see such an old map being restored.
I hope you've fixed the leaks...

I know I haven't given you a full review, but I just pointed out some important things.
I'll rate this map 3/5, vote for approval.
The lack of proper tooltips (which is very important) made it a 3/5.

Don't be dissapointed, though... 3/5 is a good rating

good luck with this project.

Thanks for the review! I based my version on the original, which I believe is what you mentioned. I would gladly do all those things you mentioned, this is an old map though lol. My first work(so many years ago!) like I said. I don't have the unprotected copy anymore. :(

I just wanted to throw it up on the site before I shipped off. :)

I've just found your even older map (made by orange tang or whatever?)
Well, I don't know... but if I look at it, I thinks it's the oldest version :p
The triggers are crappy and filled with leaks, the objects aren't correct and it doesn't have spells :p

Can't you use some sort of a deprotector? :s
Too bad you lost the map, it's actually fun to just slash enemies, even though it's repetitive...

The orange tang one isn't me at all lol. I made my own version of it from the ground up. I think somewhere in a quest dialog I mention who's map it's based off. Or, the original author is unknown, there's quite a few different versions of the basic concept of the map with the same name, all by different people.

I tried a few different deprotecters actually. I could get it opened, but I could never restore trigger data. I bet there are some leaks though, and probably not the most efficient coding at times. I made this before any deleaking and even JASS were widely known/as popular as they are today. Years ago lol.

If anyone can deprotect this, and restore everything, I'm more than okay with that, just give me a copy of it. :)
