Orc Gladiators: Revenge 1.69f

I think it would be pretty freakin cool to have an all out brawl, all CDs reset once you beat the game we have been talking about that hahaha like a giant free for all to see whos the strongest

Give extra rewards for player who deal the final score to boss is a little unfair. There was a game when I play with friends. I used Pickaxe while another friend of mine play bow. I focus my tower to damage bosses just to have the bow player ks them.
And a reward at the end of each round is.... well, ridiculous. Sometime I have "+1 str/agi/int" and "+all stats". That just wao.
And Pickaxe's tower is too op. With Overcharge and Hydra Arrow combo, I can easily clear the achieve the best damage.

1. In the upcoming version, landing the killing blow on a boss no longer rewards gold. Instead, at the end of the wave, the player who did the most damage to the boss, gets the gold.
2. I don't know what you mean? +1 str/agi/int doesn't exist, unless you mean just +1str etc., i could make it more clear that the first option is fixed since not many seem to know it. I could code the reward system to eliminate the fixed choice IF you get an obviously better choice, but it's not worth the effort at the moment.
3. Pickaxe is intended to be like that: if you lose your position and the tower dies, you will struggle to recover and your pickaxe person will suddenly a burden. Defend that tower, and it does lots of damage as intended.
4. I may nerf the amount of bonus duration the Overcharge grants: but Hydra arrows has a long cooldown, and without Drums/Refresh stone, it's not a reliable damage source anyway.

1/Nice.
2/I mean, the reward at the end of each rounds is not good. You should change it like this, 3 options: 1/Stats 2/Gold 3/Exp. Base on the performance of each round, the quality of rewards may increase or decrease. Just that simple


I understand that you give boss spell to make thing interested. But some skills is rather annoying. Like the dis-position skill[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]

I think that kind of model for rewards would probably be better, but it's something i would need to think on. I think the current model is acceptable; it always gives you something you want. With your idea of Stats/Gold/EXP, people will always choose the same reward to suit their build/needs, which is (IMO) boring, and the current system requires you to identify which is best for your current build (which i think is more interesting). I think hybrid choices (e.g. +25 gold & +100 EXP, +1 int & + 50 HP) are a lot more interesting than pure choices (e.g. +2 intelligence). I'm not sure man, it's something i need to get more feedback on to understand where to take it.

What bosses annoy you, and what ones are interesting? I would rather much like to make bosses more fun/interactive than a pain in the butt

ANYWAY, the next version is ready (i think), it has accumulated a lot of changes and i would like to make sure this version functions before i continue changing stuff. The changelog is:

CHANGES:
- Strength, Intelligence and Agility stackables cost 200g per stack.
- You no longer get gold for landing last hits on bosses. Instead, the player who does most damage to the boss gets gold.
- Some monsters now have the "resistant" armour type which reduces spell damage taken by 50%. These are typically caster-type enemies.
- Damage dealt to Player 12 illusions does not count towards player damage done
- Mask of Death nerfed from 50% to 30%.
- Music is now Music rather than Sound
- Players are now revived with Invulnerability at the end of each wave.
- Additionally, players will revive again when the end-of-round reward begins.
- Random now gives 20% more gold per wave instead of 30%.
- Repicking now gives you a 500 EXP penalty.
- End of the game reports your overall score in addition to final grade
- Grade breakdowns added to Quest Log
- Bosses will use their abilities more frequently.
- The HP of bosses 10-17 has been increased.
- The HP of waves 10-17 has been increased by 20%.
- The DPS of zombies on wave 17 has been increased by 100%.
- Difficulties have been added to the game.
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause Boss bonus EXP to not to apply to all heroes
- You can no longer cast innervate on enemies.
- Necroskeletons can kill themselves

Big new thing is Difficulties have been added. Nightmare mode adds 25% HP and 25% speed to all enemies if you like a challenge. I haven't tested this with other people, so i'm hoping the system works without fault.

 

[PhucTH]

1/I don't remember the bosses'names, but spells like Re-positions, Blizzard (damn we can't overcome this boss yet. He is both tough for a quick take down, and can deal tons of damage in a short amount of time. And worse, we can't hole up and def like in other waves.) Bosses don't need to have active spell to be annoying and dangerous. Passive and on-hit effect (stun, cleave, multi, life-steal) can make bosses even more lethal.
2/Yes I think your type of reward is better and more fun. But you should fix it. The options is not reasonable.
3/Stackables shouldn't be that much costly, maybe reduce the cost a bit would be nice, like 150v.
4/Resistant Armor should only for bosses.
5/What is Grade breakdown?
6/Maybe, at the beginning of each game, add something like a game mode (easy, medium, hard, hell...) And number of creeps (X2 , X3 ...creeps and more creeps mean more rewards)
7/Special ending: Outbreak

1. Well.. with ones like Blizzard, Overgrowth (AoE entangle) and Slam (ogre boss) were put in because people didn't like standing in the same spot all game. I personally like them because it requires people to react. Tip: kill bosses first, OR send someone to distract them (like a Great Axe or Katana) before they can cast their spells on the group.
3. The problem i had was for 1250 gold, you could get +40 of your best stat. This was just OP because you're getting lots of attack damage, spell damage and the benefits of that stat. None of the relics come close to that in terms of power; i want people to buy more relics overall, and to really only buy stackables if (a) they're something like pickaxe or scythe or (b) it's end-game and they want to bind them for inventory space.
4. Resistant armour isn't that tricky to handle; send your physical DPS (Katana, Bow, Pickaxe Tower) on the targets. The HP and armour of these mobs might be too high, in which case i'll reduce it.
5. The breakdown of the thresholds required to have a certain grade, e.g. completing a wave between 0-40 seconds after the last mob spawns is an A+ grade.
6. Perhaps, but i don't want to add more layers to this game until i have everything where i want it to be.
7. Special endings is on the list of things to do

You can also find an unprotected version of the map (second latest release) for your learning pleasure. I am still actively developing the map, though!

 

[hypsandar]

Screenshots are broken.

 

[PhucTH]

How about give us some chances/lives to replay when we lost a wave?
Like, when we lose in wave 25, we can challenge that wave again. This make the game more enjoyable.

[PhucTH]

Yes, now Druid Staff can be one of the best weapon available. Btw, can add something like weapon's proficient, make weapons's stats increase through time.

Today we had bug with invisible bandit boss. He stuck in random point and do nothing. He just stand and show no reaction: no attack, no reaction on Taunt. We located him only with floating numbers. It took lots of time to kill him with AoE spells.
Sorry, I forgot to save replay.

And next game one guy got bug with random bonus stats at the end of round. He somehow got bonus twice and "stuck" unable to do anything.

And next game one guy got bug with random bonus stats at the end of round. He somehow got bonus twice and "stuck" unable to do anything.

1) Whereabouts was he stuck? It's rare but some abilities like Mirror Image can displace units into weird spots. Sounds weird he didn't do anything; next version will hopefully improve Boss AI so they're always trying to do something.

2) Did the problem resolve at the start of the next bonus? (i.e. became "unstuck" when next reward started). It's likely due to the Reward System using Integer A which fails frequently; i'll update it and see if it fixes the problem.

 

[BaronF4]

Whereabouts was he stuck?

In the middle of the map. Regular position, nothing special.

2) Did the problem resolve at the start of the next bonus?

He was very upset and left the game before round ended.

The map page for OG:R has been updated here on the hive to version 1.23c from 1.20.

There are quite a lot of changes between this version and 1.20 (which is a month+ old) but you can find the history of changes on the page's discord at: Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers

 

[pick-a-chew]

Map has been updated again to 1.24f, please find the full list of changes on the Discord channel.

Please note: this is a new version and may require hotfixes today.

With this, I do not know how to survive in round 20 :/

 

[pick-a-chew]

Spell-immunity items/effects were removed as it allowed you to ignore any dangerous mechanics in the end-game, which obviously removed any challenge and made it too easy. My plan is to add spell resistance to the game so that, if you struggle against taking damage from Blizzard, Flamestrike, Judgement etc., you will take less and survive easier. For Round 20 specifically the final Boss's abilities scale with player number, and the Bosses he resurrects should die quickly before they become a problem (if you have a good team).

Spell-shield is still available on the caster and tank epic boots, and War Hammer can still tank magic effects with Avatar and Scythe with Golems.

Enchants have been temporarily removed because their design is poor: people only used them for spell-immunity, crit (which was bugged anyway) and corruption (which was an easy DPS increase for anyone). They will be re-introduced once i have reiterated their design.

I understand, I just hope that immunity to magic in the spell shop returns, each of the spells has its use.
Since I met him for the first time, there is not a model that has a poor design, if you compare it with just getting the object and nothing else, this will thank you and accept the added orb effect.
Finding a team that can be organized with its powers is difficult, even in a good game. ( You know that the schedules of the players to play make this equipment not available.)
Also, it's more fun if you win the game with new people and not only play with the ones you always play, It becomes monotonous.
I can not play version 1.24f, because I can not find a strategy for round 20 (without running of bosses), with immunity to magic is difficult, without it, even orcs tanks will die.

Idea:
To Magic Inmunity.

To compensate for the advantages of obtaining immunity to magic, why not combine 3 articles of 850-1000 gold, and the combination costs 500 gold in the Hexes store, adding to the combined object the characteristics of the other 3 objects and immunity to magic.

With this method, you can have the combined objects that give the result of your combined objects in a single object, adding immunity to magic, even with lower-priced objects, you can add resistance to magical damage can Reduce the time you have the spells about of target orc hero, i.e., hex, roots, stun, sleep)

Idea:
To Magic Resistance.

You can configure the time of a negative spell, using for example upgrades of heroes' abilities, using Dummys units.

Spell 1: Normal magic damage and normal duration.
Spell 2: Reduced magical damage and reduced duration.

If the target within the boss's spell area has not "magical damage reduction object"
"Spell 1" is activated on the targets. ("Spell 2" is not activated)
If the target within the boss's spell area if it has "magical damage reduction object"
"Spell 2" is activated on the targets. ("Spell 1" is not activated)

Off-Topic:
There is a lack of an orc support hero who can "burn the mana" of the objectives and objects of this type in order to build new strategies.

Why do you put the changelog in discord? i dont wanna download discord just to see the changelog!

 

[pick-a-chew]

Because most of the people who follow this map are on discord and not the Hive Workshop, which is why it makes sense for me to focus on updating my audience over there and not here.

1.18 is still available on the main body in an unprotected format, any higher than that you'll have to deprotect yourself, though if there is demand i can release more recent versions

If you decide to spew out mods of my mods DO NOT use the same version typing as me (i.e. name your mod something else).

Could it be possible for you to put the changelog in hive please?

When i release an update/fix version for 1.26ra i will (attempt to) publish the full changelog for 1.26ra and 1.26s here

Kind of fun and I love that I can control the ai's heroes but not really new player friendly. As soon as the door opens you go to look at what you can use but as you are reading suddenly it is "You chose this." So when you go to get gear after finding out you got randomly picked as a tank you look at the items then "Fight time!" before you can read them. In less you know what you want right away and know the shop you need and the items you want you are dead in round 1 even on easy. Now you can get around that in single player useing the god mode cheat but in less I all ready beat it without cheats I don't want to cheat.

As it stands if you are going to play this use cheat mode in single player till you know what weapon and gear you want then play without cheats (And at least 2 ai) and you should be good.

Only thing I would recommend is ditch the timer needed or up it to like 5-10 minutes so new people have time to learn. That and let us chose for the ai. I had a grate combo with the scythe claw and hammer but can never regain that combo with it auto giving to the ai.

The weapon picking phase is due for an overhaul, i will be moving it to an integer-based timer rather than a countdown timer which will give me flexibility to add modes like -extratime at game start to allow organised groups or new people all the time they want for deciding their picks or looking at item tooltips.

The AI heroes are actually a relict from early map development (for solo testing) as such it's not really an intended feature, though it is nice to know players actually find it useful. I don't think it's easily possible for me to set up the game for e.g. Player 1 to choose Player 2's hero so at least for now you'll be stuck with random AI weapons.

Cool I can't wait for that add. And I am fine with them getting what ever random item I really only don't like when a random one is chucked at me (unless I pick that) . And it is a good thing there are far too many maps that say "you need at least 4 people." and anyone that can't get that can't play because "Awwww sucks to be you." or they put anti-cheat into single player (no logic there really.) So it is great to have control of the ai so you don't have to cheat to make up for the fact you are alone and it does not laugh at you for not having friends that like the game.

I have re-released 1.29fb as 1.29fc to fix a problem caused by the latest Warcraft 3 patch.

The latest patch caused Neutral Passive to become an unoccupied player slot and not player 26 Neutral Passive. This should fix a number of problems i have had reported to me.

I am currently midway on 1.30 and as such am not really in a position to post specific fixes just yet.

Hey,

I would like to host your map on one of our bots

Version 1.30e has been released. This version is mostly stable, however, there are some issues and i will post a new version sometime later this week. The map now works properly with WC3 patch 1.29.1.

By far the biggest changes on this version are a rework of the Wizard Staff and item costs are now balanced according to a set formula (before their costs were arbitrarily assigned). Because of the item cost changes, the game may now be more difficult, so i will be keeping my eye on this.

New Items + Shops:
- New items and an extra shop have been added. Shops and items have been reorganised to accommodate this change.
Augmentations:
- Augmentations have been redesigned. Rather than upgrading an item directly, augmenting an item will add a permanent stat bonus to your Gladiator. The stats you gain depend on the Augmentation purchased. Augmented items become undroppable, and now affect the first valid item you have (in order of inventory slot). All items below a certain cost threshold will now be augmentable. There are 4 Augmentations:
- Mastery (+12 all stats)
- Clever (+7 intelligence, +4 all stats, +140 Max Mana)
- Combat (+10 agility, +5 armour, +35 damage)
- Stalwart (+10 strength, +6 armour, +650 max HP)
Enchants:
- Earth Enchant now gives +25% Resistance, +10 armour and +0.5% HP regeneration (was +50% Resistance)

Version 1.30fa has been released. It contains multiple bug fixes and balance adjustments.

I would also like to note that version 1.30 requires WC3 1.9.0 and higher as the map now uses the new natives. The map no longer loads for those who play older versions of WC3.

Hey men, i just notice that in the lasted update you don't win gold by doing best damage, healer, tank or nothing.

Version 1.31ed is now available here.

This version is really a "beta test" version for 1.32 but as it has been tested/played extensively on ENT and is an acceptable quality to publish here.

The catalog of changes is so vast that you can find all 1.31 on changes on Discord, but if someone pokes me and actually reads this, i can also publish the changelogs here on request.

Hey men, i just notice that in the lasted update you don't win gold by doing best damage, healer, tank or nothing.

The MVP bonuses lead to a sort of "winmore" condition where overperforming players would rake in some gold. And some weapons were fully capable of getting MVP in all 4 categories (e.g. Great Axe) whilst some like Bow can realistically only get MVP in 2 categories. The MVP bonus gold was also something added to mainly boost economy in fewer-player games, but now the difficulty is directly reduced, i feel like it is excessive.
