[Miscellanous / Other] Project Ahn'Qiraj

[HungryHusky]

Project Ahn'Qiraj

This is a small introduction of my current project. I postponed my RPG project due to a trip I have to make to China for one year. I will continue working on it when I get back. Instead I resumed my dungeon crawler project which at least I can manage to finish before I go.

This map takes you back into the infamous raid, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. At the start of the map you may choose up to seven heroes, which takes on the objective of defeating the bosses that resides in the temple.
When your heroes have died a total of 20 deaths, they will no longer resurrect and you have to restart. You have completed the map when all main quest objectives are completed.

Update:
Demo map attached: View attachment (1)Wc3AQOpt.rar
Note: Demo ends after Battleguard Sartura.
This map is not your average dungeon crawler. Dedication, focus and good strategy is essential to progress through the map.
If you still think it's too hard, watch my youtube video and look how I myself manage to defeat the enemies.

Features:

• Singleplayer Dungeon crawler.
• Atmospheric terrain.
• Custom Enemy AI.
• WoW-like enemy and boss abilities.
• MUI spells.
• Custom damage system.
• Anti-cheat system (only for certain cheats).

Woo, looks awesome! Will be tracking the progress of this map

Gives a wow lie feeling
Will the mounts drop? ^^

Controlling seven heroes in singleplayer? I hope they've all got a good mix of autocasts and auras!

Just a small typo I think you may want to correct.

Don't worry, I will soon post a video demonstrating that controlling 7 heroes is possible . This isn't your average dungeon crawler map, it's meant to be difficult.

EDIT: Video added.

Hmmm.........interesting......where do you get those models?...i would like if you can give some links..

 

[sonofjay]

Neat environment you got there. Love to try this one soon.
Subscribing.

The style you do terrain reminds me of APproject.... if you know him. Your terrain is so neat and good to look at. I will be glad if your releasing Demo maps for this. +REP bro.

 

[HungryHusky]

Bump. Update. Demo map now available.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Haha this looks pretty awesome. It takes a while to get used to micromanaging the party though.

Also, Skeram's god mode mind control thing is scary (I guess this means you achieved the true feel of the boss fight ).

A few things.

1) Whats the point of CC anyway, theres not a single enemy that can be polymorphed. Roots and hex can only target 1- 2 unit types on the map, both of which are insignificant mobs that you wouldnt want to waste CC on anyway.

2) Healer out of combat mana regen is atrocious.

3) Simmilarly to polymorph, mortal strike has next to no use. Beside the initial melee mobs, nothing else heals anyway.

All that being said, theres only really big thing I love about this map.
Of all the WoW maps ever done, this is the first that actually doesnt copy abilities wholesale without recognising the implications of having Wow abiltities in wc3.

I like how you did away with mechanics such as cast time + no cooldown abilties which serve no purpose in wc3 other than to complicate things.
By selectively chosing skills from each class, you managed to give each class the feel of its wow counterpart without the clutter of having tons of abilties. Those class skills you selected also go very well with wc3 mechanics.

Thank you for your good feedback. Hope you enjoyed the map.

1. The point of CC is to counter enemy mind controlling your units. Instead of killing them, you can CC them and make sure none of your units attack them.

2. Good point, but for that I would have to make a triggered mana system, I will see if I can get time when I continue on the map.

3. Mortal Strike makes it easier to kill Anubisath Sentinels which have Rejuvenation, and the "Great Heal Ability" of Princess Yauj in the Three Bugs, and will also affect other enemy healing abilities in the later bosses and enemies which I haven't made yet.

In WoW you can drink water out of combat. Hence a consumable flask that restores mana but requires the caster to channel does the job fine IMO.

It would be nice if you just make the file W3X instead of putting in Archives :>
