v1.81 is here with a new hero and several changes/fixes.
Please make sure to check the changelog if you have played one of the earlier versions before.
Story
After decades of struggle, our heroes were finally able to slay Haydo, the manipulative mastermind of evil forces that has long ravaged the land of Arcadia. Just when they thought the threat was over, it turned out that Haydo was just a puppet of the stronger forces behind him. His death caused a massive portal to open from which the minions of Asmodeus, Haydo's master poured from. It seems like there is no rest for the fighters of justice as they prepare to face the worst.
About the map
Pose is a RPG styled map where you can choose from 15 different and unique heroes that are distinguished by their roles (DPS, Tank, Support) to take on the malicious forces of evil. It can be solo'd or played with up to 2 other players on 4 difficulty settings which are Easy (for solo), Medium (for solo / 2 players), Hard (for 2 players / 3 players) and Nightmare (for 3 players) difficulties.
Pose RPG takes a humorous approach to the ongoing situation with a lot of references to other games and events while making use of cinematics a lot to mix it with the story. Pose RPG includes both vanilla music from Warcraft 3 and custom music from various other artists in its gameplay.
Players can use utility commands such as -roll, -repick, -nuke and -ms. Players can also duel each other on 1v1 combat with the newly added -duel commands. The map also has a damage detection system and any damage dealt by players to enemies and by enemies to players will be shown above characters which can be turned on/off at the start. All usable commands and other useful information can be found under the optional quests tab in game.
All heroes have custom skills, some of them are heavily edited by triggers and custom effects. They are all balanced as much as possible however and none of them is overly exaggerated, meaning that no hero will have huge advantages over the others. Creeps (with the exception of bosses and special mobs) will respawn after a short while. Most boss fights are customized (some more than others) to make them more interesting and challenging.
This map is actually a sequel to my first map "P o s E", where players could play through Haydo's story and witness how he turned to the dark side but the map was pretty much unfinished / lost.

This game causes a fatal error after a pop up asking Damage Detection to be on or off appeared. Patch 1.30 (last version before 1.31).
You might want to look into this first. I will be forced to have this at Awaiting Update to sort out the issue.
It's an OK classic which could use improvements.
Approved.

Ok here is my "small" review for this cute RPG map.(Btw i only played this solo on hard treating the map as a campaign)
- Sometimes the mobs respawn in different places from where they died(their own little group) resulting in creating groups of...
"Pose'" is a Role playing game based on inception and misfortune events of the world cause by havoc and mayhem.
"The game is cool and what's nice about it is that its fast forward and doesn't lead you to the wrong alley of the map mainly it is in a maze-like form where you just sprout your way into the designed horizon of the game, but some of the bad issue about the difficulty of the game is all of the heroes, they all have very strong abilities that can kill the enemy quickly like a pyromancer's second skill it can kill any boss with just 2 hits please balance it, only few items enlisted in the game needs more since this is a team play rpg so the player's need more gears."
Terrain
"Terrain looks too plain because of the maze like area and only filled with trees, I suggest you make up a decent looking terrain than just the ordinary tile set and trees only seen in-game, because the map is a phase by phase story line it will be great if you can come up a good terrain as well."
Management
"Some dull-written dialogues on cinematics, the over-powerful heroes and the lack of textures for the terrain, I still can go on this one its a cool addition to the rpg maps even though this will be accepted as a decent map, please make sure to make some improvements good luck."
I have uploaded new screenshots from v1.1, if the ones you meant are from v1.0. If it still looks empty, I would appreciate your help. Although yes, I do admit terraining is my weak side. Thank you for your opinion !
What you have to do? -Improve your description and get inspire from description expert.
-Put some screenshots/videos.
-Put "Credits to:..."
-Tell us more about the map.
If you do not follow this steps,your resources may no chance to get approve by Resources Moderator.
Think carefully,lad.

I have done / fixed everything which was advised in the message the Moderator has sent me. Besides :
- I do not know what else to add into the description, anything more than what I've provided would be a spoiler.
- There ARE both screenshots for v1.0 and v1.1, and a video would be unecessary at this moment.
- There IS a credits section.
- I will try giving more information, updating soon.
Improve Terrain [I can help, anyone can help]
Removed none wc3 imported sound [that's annoying]
Minimize the files size of your map [to spread very quickly]
Make system that will introduce the uniqueness of this map [ex: pvp with AI]
Explain what "P o s E" stand for? [i'm just asking]

I will ask for help when I am free and making v1.2, but I am really busy with college right now, I could barely edit the Credits part. (although I applied the suggestions and tried to create a better terrain with the new version and made it less empty looking ).
I am not sure which one you referred to, if you are talking about the ambient sound, it did not exist in v1.0 and I think it gives a higher level of atmosphere to the story. Although I will remove it if it starts being an annoyance for most.
I will have to remove the imported songs for that, which I think would decrease the fun atmosphere the map is trying to represent to the players.
I don't know how to create a custom AI yet, I will probably do such a thing in the upcoming versions.
It may sound weird but it actually does not stand for anything
Thanks for your suggestions ~
Important : Please read the note I've put up above in the map description.
Well, the diablo styled text was intriguing, but when i looked screenshots and saw that u call DDs DPS... (Damage Per Second is just a number... Well, hero is just a number in PC memory too, but that isn't what you mean anyway, hero can be Damage Dealer, but not DPS) Anyway am going to try this.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
P.S.:
Well, tryed this... Sorry, but it's borring and unbalanced, w/o any interesting quest or smth. And every item i found except ring of regeneration is useless. Like what would u take, 3% attack speed or 3 hp/sec? Of course NOONE will take AS here, it sould be 10%~ AS at least. Also terrain is not pretty at all, creeps are stupid and they are same... I mean no differense who do u fight, u just need some lvls/items, but no gaming skill is needed.
Also every skill I saw is common wc3 skill with minor changes.
So 1/5.

I think you were expecting something like TKOK, I am sorry you were disappointed, but I never really intended to make this a hardcore RPG map, as I also said in the description.
About the 3% ASPD and 3 HP per second, the items were really OP in the first version, but then I realized that made the map WAY too easy at the point where it wasn't even fun anymore, so I decided to give them a big nerf.
Although, I agree that the terrain still isn't really good looking no matter how much I tried, and I know the skills are just modified versions of the default WC3 ones, but the reason for that is this is my first map, and honestly I don't really know how to implement custom skills yet.
Still, thanks for your criticism, I will definitely try and improve eventually.
It's still too easy I don't expect it to be hardcore, I just prefer well made maps. As example of bad looking map i like - Dark Invasion II, though it is still one of the best maps ever. Well, anyway good luck in development

It is not easy as the first versions, but I guess it's somehow still easy. I will try and improve the AI and remake the items in the upcoming version. Thanks ~
Oh my, first rating that is not 1/5 ! Thank you ~ although I doubt this title will become legendary anytime soon, since it is already made and I can only apply some changes, but maybe I will excel myself with a completely new version or a new map in the future
Edit : There have been some complications such as lag caused by an infinite loop and some customized AI skills not working properly, therefore it will still take some time, but should be ( 90% possibility ) done before the end of this month.
Hey Sercy, I tried your map, and I think it is pretty good. The terrain wasn't stunning, but it was decent. The quests were interesting, but I feel the rewards weren't really worth the trouble. The grammar and spelling in the cinematics and tooltips was nearly perfect, so I congratulate you on that (although I don't approve of profanity in tooltips, and I also found some trans-text errors, and value errors). One grammar error I found was when I killed Jack the Terrible, it said "...and captain Isaac..." I think Captain should be capitalized, since it is his title. The map preview and loading screen were also very nice. The abilities were just tweaked Warcraft 3 spells, but the custom icons you used for them made them feel more... custom. However, I had a couple problems with the abilities. On Nergal, the Spiked Carapace icon doesn't seem right. A mouth representing a spiked back? I'm not sure, but with Death's Touch, it seems as if the damage increases by 40 per level, not by 100. The damage for the first level of it should be higher too, it does only slightly more damage than a regular attack, and the spell takes a half second to cast. Nergal also doesn't have enough mana related spells. I feel like the tooltip for Demonic Understanding should say he takes more damage during his attacks (although I'm not sure if this is the case, it seems like it.) In the buy tooltip for Nergal, the text seems awkward. Maybe use the pronoun "them" less and "demons" more. Shevarash's abilities seem good and unproblematic, although another awkward text moment in her buy tooltip is the last sentence. I think if should say "The demon invasion...", not "Demon Invasion...". I believe for Safran, the research tooltip for Enflame should be "...engulfing him in flames..." not "...engulfing in flames...", but the rest of his abilities seem okay. Lika's abilities seem fine, but for her Exculpate skill, I feel like the "incredible force" part of the tooltip should be taken out. You don't need "incredible force" to throw a dagger. Another thing wrong is that the research ability and ability tooltips don't match up. At level 1, the research ability says the initial damage is 100, whereas the ability and the actual damage say 150 At level 2. it says the initial damage is 150, whereas the ability, and the actual damage is 200. You might want to fix that. Another trans-text error is that the buy tooltip for Lika says for her abilities she has Ignorance for her ultimate, when really she has Silent Trap. Blarsa's, Rasputin's, and Slender's abilities seem fine. A thing I'd like, but not necessairly need is a beginning cinematic. Because the story continues on from another map, I'd like a small cinematic on what had happened. The text did explain the current story well, but I'd have liked to have my hero seem more a part of the storyline. I'm not sure if it is possible, but maybe we could choose our heroes, and once we are done choosing, we see a cinematic of them battling Haydo, or something like that. Another thing I'd like to have would be a potion backpack or something, because at the moment, potions are just things I'll find along the road. I'll never buy them. If a potion drops, I pick it up and drink it. I simply have no space for it, especially since I can only hold one per inventory slot. One last thing I'd like to have is more interactive boss fights. Right now, they are just tanking contests. No cool spells or anything. Don't get me wrong, I really love this map a lot and I think it can be better. That is the only reason why I made this review.
4/5 as of right now. I hope you can think of ways to make this map even more awesome!
EDIT: By the way, do you mind me sending it to a hosting site?

First of all, thank you a lot for pointing out the grammatical mistakes within the conversations / tooltips, I will certainly fix them in the upcoming version. Using proper English was something I intended to do before even starting the creation of Posé, and there shouldn't be even one mistake concerning that.
I've tried making the terrain look less emptier than the previous versions ( as I usually do before releasing a new version ), but as I have stated in my previous posts, that's kind of my weak point. Although, I have uploaded a seperate screenshot for v1.3 from a new quest, and I think that area shows some improvement on my part ... I guess. No ? Okay
Also, thanks for trying out every hero and letting me know about the bugs. I have to admit, I had problems with Nergal's skills as well, and I kept trying to fix them and make them as stable as they could be in v1.3, but it turns out there are still some bugs, and they will be completely fixed as well with the new versions, along with every other skill, there is no doubt of that, and I am aware that some skills don't do much damage, so I may improve their damage a little more in the next versions, since I already fixed some really overpowered skills such as Safran's "Blast" skill, and I will probably change some of the less powerful skills so players can use them more instead of being like "meh, this skill is useless".
About that cinematic, I think that's a really good idea and I never actually thought about that one before, and it could really increase the athmosphere of the story. I will try to implement that as well in the newer versions. Thanks for the tip !
The inventory is limited, because carrying all the items available in the map would make one really overpowered. I am not sure if I can make a seperate inventory just for potions though, that may still take some time.
Boss fights are improved in v1.3, but not all of them. I am thinking about adding custom AI skills for every single boss. ( this time possibly more than one )
About the last thing you asked, you will have to reply to my PM for that ~
I've found a couple more bugs. As Rasputin, I broke down the trees that led to the Pirate base with my Hatred, and then killed all the weeds. After I had done that, I saw a cinematic with a bandit lord named Vaas, and then he got into a Zepplin. The Great Farm gate was broken down, but if I was supposed to fight Vaas, I didn't. There was nothing beyond the Great Farm Gate except for a lot of flowers and an Inn that I could walk through. The real bug I found is that the song "Make It Bun Dem" never stopped playing. It haunted me through the rest of my journey. It is a good song... for the first nine times you hear it. It even played during Gangnam Style and during the Kirov song! A trans-text error I found was that Soap said that we should see "captain Nuri," but when I actually talked to "captain Nuri," his title was "General Nuri." Which is it? One thing I'm not sure about is the neutral hostiles. Are they supposed to be neutral hostile, or are they supposed to be owned by Player 10? The first two Shape Beasts I found were Neutral Hostile, some of the Vicious Spiders in the swamp area north of the witch camp were neutral hostile, and the Ice Trolls were neutral hostile. By the way, you might want to change Player 10's name to something more evil.
I also seem to be stuck at the Dwarf Base. I can't find the Zepplin! Which led me to using the full map vision cheat. Is the mentioned Zepplin the one in the bottom left hand corner, the one which Vaas got into?
Another thing I saw while using the full map vision cheat was that in the Demon area at the top left area, the Circle of Power was called "Chapter 1 To Chapter 2". Although I haven't gotten there, I'm nearly certain the Demon area isn't part of Chapter 1.
EDIT: Okay, I found the reason, and now I've found a new bug! The reason the song kept playing was because I had never accepted the quest from S'kjor. I had just broken down the trees with my Hatred MK5. I'm not really sure why Vaas got into the Zepplin, but that had really screwed up my quest, because I could not continue. Apparently the Zepplin I saw WAS the one mentioned, and it appeared correctly. Also, I like being able to control Player 8's characters, but it can be hard to control them on long journeys due to control not being fully shared. Full shared control as opposed to shared control means that you can build units with them, spend their money, and can control them as your own units, which is the reason I want full shared control. When I make a box around the hero and the units, either my hero or the units don't show up in the control group. I must manually select the units, and shift+left click my hero. It's annoying! I'd really like full shared control for player 8. Also, S'kjor's ability, Highness Overlord requires Shaman Master Training. Either go to Player Properties and research it for Player 8, or change the requirements for the actual ability to none.
EDIT2: Okay, just finished the game on hard with Shevarash. Final boss took about 40 seconds (although he did do quite a lot of damage to me. I was down to about 600 health at the end of the battle, but still.) I think the game should still be a bit more difficult. 40 seconds isn't enough for a final boss fight, especially one with cool music! Perhaps you should reduce the attack rate gained by agility in the gameplay constants. The heroes attack really fast. One other thing I would prefer is that potions should have no cooldown.
Again, I'm only giving these bugs out because this map is awesome, and I believe it can be even better!
I've found a couple more bugs. As Rasputin, I broke down the trees that led to the Pirate base with my Hatred, and then killed all the weeds. After I had done that, I saw a cinematic with a bandit lord named Vaas, and then he got into a Zepplin. The Great Farm gate was broken down, but if I was supposed to fight Vaas, I didn't. There was nothing beyond the Great Farm Gate except for a lot of flowers and an Inn that I could walk through. The real bug I found is that the song "Make It Bun Dem" never stopped playing. It haunted me through the rest of my journey. It is a good song... for the first nine times you hear it. It even played during Gangnam Style and during the Kirov song! A trans-text error I found was that Soap said that we should see "captain Nuri," but when I actually talked to "captain Nuri," his title was "General Nuri." Which is it? One thing I'm not sure about is the neutral hostiles. Are they supposed to be neutral hostile, or are they supposed to be owned by Player 10? The first two Shape Beasts I found were Neutral Hostile, some of the Vicious Spiders in the swamp area north of the witch camp were neutral hostile, and the Ice Trolls were neutral hostile. By the way, you might want to change Player 10's name to something more evil.

The bugs you have mentioned, they all occured because you have cut down the trees with your Hatred in the beggining of the game, and tried to proceed with the quest before even talking to S'kjor. That area is normally not supposed to be reached until the end of Chapter 2, and even if you DID reach the end of Chapter 2, it is still not supposed to activate until you have done S'kjor's first quest until that point. You have kind of reached a special quest area without doing those two things, that's why Vaas wasn't there, and that's also why the music didn't stop. That's a bug though, I didn't know Hatred could cut down the trees, and right now I fixed it, and Hatred will not be able to attack destructibles again. I now also gave full shared control to Player 8 units, and now it should be easier to control them along with your own units. I also fixed S'kjor's skills, they won't need any requirements anymore, because that wasn't intended, that was also a bug.
About the difficulty, I may increase the difficulty of "Hard", because it is not much harder than the "Medium" difficulty at the moment. Though I am not thinking about reducing the attack speeds of the heroes. Potions also will not have any cooldowns anymore.
Also, as you mentioned in your previous post, all enemies are actually supposed to belong to Player 10, and only SOME of the critters are supposed to be Neutral Passive. That has also been fixed now, although it doesn't really make much difference. Also, the warping circle in Chapter 3 did warp you to the right area, but it was named wrong, and that has also been fixed.
I am also changing the Arena song, Gangnam Style is becoming old p:
Those will all be applied with v1.31 ~
Thank you for pointing out a critical bug, you've been the most helpful
I'm very happy to help you Sercy, and I'll continue playing Pose RPG to find new bugs. And also... Pose v1.3 had been uploaded to MakeMeHost! Now my friends can try it too!
(Do I get any +rep for being the most helpful? )

Hey Sercy, I just tried out 1.31. Great job with the bugfixing and the new hero. His ultimate, Serenity, seems like a very polished spell, and I quite like it. One thing I noticed is that he can hit many of the enemies with his Radiance spell, some of which he shouldn't be able to. I don't think Ice Trolls, Fallout Scorpions, or Political Polar Bears are Undead! A thing I liked was that you had increased the difficulty and given us a Nightmare difficulty. In Version 1.30, 'hard' was really easy, and the other difficulties were cakewalks. Now, 'Hard' is really hard. You need skill to beat the game now. You should also make a Hall of Fame for people who can prove they beat the game on Nightmare difficulty. I saw that you didn't add my cinematic idea, but if you went against it in the end, or if it was too much work, I find that perfectly fine. I know save/load systems are really hard, but maybe you could make an achievement system, where if a player completes a certain difficult (unstated) task, they recieve a code which gives a small amount of resources or a tome, just something minor. It could bring about cheating in the game, so that's why the tasks would be unstated. (You could also put in an anti-cheating system!)
Again, great job with 1.31 Sercy!
(If you want to put in the anti-cheat system and don't know how, PM me, I know one.)

The thing is, I had to change the race of every enemy to Undead in order for Radiance ( originally Holy Light ) to be able to hit them, because it was hard-coded and there was no other way ( I tried using triggers, but it didn't work as intended ). I wanted that skill to hit every enemy, not just Undead ones, so yeah.
I did intend to make the game harder on the Hard difficulty, good to see it's working. I also wanted to make the game even harder by adding the Nightmare difficulty, and I think it's ideal for people who like to play with their friends. Playing solo in Nightmare difficulty may prove quite difficult though.
I want to implement the beginning cinematic in v1.4, not in the middle versions such as this one or v1.32, because it's a big addition.
I thought about adding a save / load system, but then again, Posé isn't too long, and it takes approximately 1-2 hours to finish ( or less ). I may make an achievement system though, and I could PM you if I can't handle disabling the cheats myself. I am also thinking about letting the players know about all the references in Posé, since they are too many references to other games as I've stated before, but then I don't want to give spoilers before people actually finish the map.
I really enojoyed playing your map, but after ~ 15 minutes it gets kind of repetitive and boring. Instead of making only a couple of spells you can either improve the spell amount - maybe add more active skills for assasin or passive skills for mage, etc.(havent played all chars). Furthermore it needs something special that makes it different than ANY other RPG - dont get me wrong i liked the custom spells and so, but thats all. The amount of characters is perfect, but make them more individual, more exciting and variable to play. Another point i want to mention is the amount/sort of items you have. Again nothing special. You have different sorts of weapons, different rare types, but its no achievment when you get a nice weapon. Secret weapons you can only achieve through a hard quest, or forging and combining things would be nice. I know i know i expect a lot again, but if you compare it to other RPG's you are having the worser card. To put in a nutshell:
Terrain: 3/5 It seems there was no love behind this. It has variety, but its just for decoration.
Heroes: 3/5: Custom abilitys? Awesome! Boring spells? BUUUUH
Quest and Gameplay 3/5: There is a nice story, but its repetitive. Slash creeps and kill bosses - maybe they drop something, which is a quest ... well its still slashing and killing
All in All: 3/5: I really would like to see some improvment. It is a well rounded playable and enyoable map. But nothin i would play more then once. (I know i played it more than once - wanted to see more heroes^^)

Hey Sercy, I was wondering, do you use triggers for item drops, or just item tables? Potions don't seem to drop from creeps which you kill for a second time, and I would think that would be caused from item tables.

They are just item tables at the moment. I guess I will trigger the item drops in the next version ( it is really easy to do, I just totally overlooked it ), along with the changes currently in my mind that I am going to make. I have really had limited time to improve Posé lately due to my studies though. Thanks for the reminder ~
Hey Sercy, more people are noticing your map now! It's becoming more popular!
Also, thanks for making it so potions drop from creeps you kill for a second time. I'll keep trying your map to find things I think need improving and bugs.
EDITBy the way, I think I found one reference. I'm not sure if you meant this, but the land of Arcadia was the land ruled by Lycaon, the guy who Zeus turned into a werewolf.)
EDIT2:Also, if you don't like the Undead classification showing up on every unit but want them to still be hit by Radiance, go to the Gameplay Interface under Advanced. Then go to the bottom and look for Text-Unit Classification-Undead, and change it to whatever you want.

It's not just potions, they also drop other items time to time.
Arcadia is not really a reference. It's just a name of a place in Dreamfall : The Longest Journey, a game I have played years ago. Although it's a name that is used often in other games, so it is easy to come across.
Hmm, I don't think it's a big deal at the moment, but sure, I will do that in the next version. Thanks for your advice ~
Edit : I am not sure if I can make the beginning cinematic anymore, there is literally no space left in the map to do that.
Edit 2 : Managed to do it anyways ~ next version will be 1.4, it might take a while.
It was a bit too hack-and-slash and linear for my taste...
Too many 'orb' items at start that were not working with my archer's flaming arrows.
The spells were the same old Warcraft spells and, at least for the archer hero, not fitting the hero profile.
I didn't like the terrain either.
I played until after the witches and got bored.
