This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
REGION
Created by rulerofiron99
Map Info:
Build an army. Every round, your army spawns to fight either against randomised creep waves, or against another player's army. You have no direct control over your army after it spawns; your role is to build the right units in the right formation. Victory is achieved by acquiring a set number of Victory Points, gained by beating other players' armies.
Suggested players: 2-6.
Playable in single player, but not recommended (balance is for 2+ players)
*** Strictly speaking, this map is in WIP, which as per the rules is not allowed. HOWEVER: it is already in a very playable and polished state (aside from minor balance tweaks and unforeseen bugs that are to be expected), and due to its replayable nature I feel it is enough for at least being taken a look at. I have much more content planned, which I plan to update as time goes by. ***
Similar to (and drawing inspiration from):
- Legion TD
- Blood Tournament
Apparently also similar to Pokemon Defense.

Screenshots:
Features:
- Unique TD-ish gameplay, combining the low-APM requirement of Tower Defense with the glorious battles of melee Warcraft.
- Set your army in a formation to maximise its damage and survivability.
- Seven (and counting) different races to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.
- Use global-range spells to influence battles, improve your army, or slow down another player's progress.
- Powerful bosses, each with special abilities designed to plow through your tanks and engage all elements of your army.
- Randomised creep waves, ensuring that each game is different to the last.
- Failing a level doesn't mean it's over for you; you get to fight it again next round. Although this might slow down your progress (and thus army size), you will never find yourself out of the running.
- Many options and army styles to choose from, and designed to all be viable. Region isn't a game where the winning strategy is to simply spam a powerful unit; every build and every strategy has a counter.
- Set custom behaviours on your units; e.g. to have them perform a tactical retreat when near death, or flank your enemy's army.
- Multiple game modes: Survival (leak X amount of waves to lose, last player wins), Classic (as described above) and Tournament (you fight against players each round); each of which can be customised with Short/Medium/Long and Allpick/Draft/Allrandom
Planned Content and Features:
- More races.
- More units for each existing race.
- More unit behaviour settings.
- More spells.
- Random terrain generator.

played this with a friend a few rounds, its really good! =)
however -endround seems to be bugged, in duel 0 (only duels) a round bugged where an upgraded sniper didnt attack a mountainking, then he died, and no one got gold. so i -endround and suddenly my mate has won the game and got like 500gold =/. apart from the lack of units imo(per race and races but that will come i guess^^) this has a bright future if you put your head into it

Thanks for the feedback!
Do you maybe have a replay of that instance when the sniper didn't attack the mountain king, causing the duel to end improperly? I've only seen that bug once before and haven't been able to reproduce it.
EDIT: Found a flaw in one of the triggers, hopefully that solves it

Simple, yet entertaining. I think it could use some polishing though. The grey dirt isn't the most visually pleasing sight to behold.

I'm working on a terrain generator that will randomise each player's terrain every few rounds, along with some trees and bushes.
Which other areas do you think need more polishing?

For example when you win the game the winning team disappears from the podium and a round starts after that and the camera stops in a weird angle. It should have a real victory condition triggered.

I used a combination of GIMP, Microsoft Word (WordPad can also work), WorldEdit, and Paint.
1. Take a screenshot of the terrain in worldedit.
2. Edit the screenshot in paint, removing the ground below the cliff (just paint black).
3. Download a nice font from dafonts.com, install it to your Word, and type your title. In the newer MS Word, you can do special font effects. For this one, I used an effect that adds an inner shadow (to make it look like the text has been carved out)
4. Put both images in gimp, and use the Perspective Tool to make the text the same shape as the cliff area. Then just drag it over and you're done!

Me and some good lads have been playing this map and we LOVE it.
No bugs and glitches so far, the castle part was downright impossible for us.
Also will you consider putting Faceless Ones as a race?

You got to the castle? I CALL BS LIES
I'll definitely include Faceless Ones, thanks for the suggestion!
The roadmap for the next races:
1. Trolls
2. Naga
3. Nature/ancients
... with Hybrid and Creep somewhere in the middle.

This guy Possessed one of his units then upgraded it, here's what it shows:
Apparently it works for all units aswell

Also after the Castle level I don't know if it's intended but nothing shows up?

The possess-upgrade is a consequence of the upgrade system, thanks for pointing that out. Fixing it now.
I haven't made any more levels after the castle... yet.
EDIT: New version up! Includes fixes, and minor balance tweaks.
I'm currently working on a new random creep generator, so it will be a while before the next version, as I'll have to retest balance several times over.
On that topic, feel free to PM me if you'd like to participate in aforementioned balancing test.

Whoops, meant it goes up to 30, so level 29 is the last one that has creeps.
Still need to make the next boss ;p

Findings so far:
After a duel round, one of my Troll Doctors left a Healing Ward, I won the round, but when the Ward expired, the screen showed that my enemy won the round, and we both got gold from it.
Also Slayer is OP xL

You might want to take a look at this, it's an older version but it might have some unforeseen bugs.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/w3g5td4dw6ibs4e/Bug_Report.w3g
Things to notice:
Castle doesn't attack air
Castle can be abused with Fear
A duel bug (it isn't the healing ward one)
And some more units to take notice, either buff or nerf.

1 - 2. on it
3. Please be more specific; I've rarely encountered a bug where some players would be excluded in duels - I've attempted another fix for this in 0.36c. This the one you're talking of, or another?
4. Please be specific, I don't play much.

May have found a bug. During the duel, after a person has killed the other persons creeps, the duel still doesnt end. No one has won and the game doesnt continue. The creeps of the supposed winner are standing at one side of the arena.

Thanks for reporting.
Could you maybe send me a replay?
Which version did you play?
Which races were involved in the duel?

Version 0.36e
If I'm not mistaken it was trolls vs orcs. The trolls were supposed to win.
Unfortunately I didn't save a replay.
Btw, why do units like the troll witch doctor and wizard (the two i've seen so far) sometimes walk away from the battle and afk somewhere at the edge of the arena? Is it a bug?

I think the duel bug might have to do with healing ward, thanks for pointing that out.
The Witch Doctor and Wizard - that's definitely also a bug, probably to do with their autocasting triggers. I'll look into it.
Thanks again for the feedback!

Sure no problem. This game has become one of my favourites. Hope to see it blossom into one of the most played custom maps. Could have more spells, units per race and unit upgrades though. Awesome map. Keep up the good work

You should pick a better name, at first I thought it was a trigger system or something lol.
Concerning the map, it seems interesting. When you add more races I think it could be better than Legion TD

Thanks. The name is based on Legion TD, I just like it.
I'm open to ideas, though.

The locust units are extremely weak, you should try a buff on them:
- They deal extremely low magic damage
- They have extremely low hit points
- They have so high collision size that they block themselves
- They cost so much and can be shut down with many aoe without effort
- Improvements do almost nothing on them
- They don't even apply a buff-debuff
- They can't attack golems
- They cost too much food
In conclusion, locust is weak as hell, they do need aoe resistance, magic resistance, or something, they are not worth what they cost.
