Reign of the Horde
Aeon of Strife


Imporant Information
This map was an idea of my brother 1989-2011
He was a large fan of Humans vs Orcs 4.0 (I can't remember the exact version)
A Franchise passed down to me 5 years ago by Pointsharp(Clan Log) a Franchise I never bothered to continue and my brother was mad that I earned.

As far as I know, I am the only remaining person who owns the Humans vs Orcs (Save/Load).


GamePlay
This game is based on an players skill more then his items, a feature not really known in AOS games, but you know what deal with it. Bring the Pro's Not the tax collecters. The game consists of a very special balance, no unit or hero has the same stats, everything is balances in new way, every unit/hero has a rival, a max and a minium limit, they also take into consiteration the unit they dominate on the field and the unit they dominates them, to produce a balance perfectly between all of the conditions. In the gameplay of this map, ambushes, ganking, teamwork are ideal for success, even if you have a noob, the pro's can still rise above people who are a higher level then them, for the balance is based on the execution of strategy and spells. Spells are not a nuke and forget, these spells are complex and require learning how usefull the spell can be in many situations, the idea of this game is to bring out the best in players and show what true skill is.

This game will bring in some of the most hilarious situations the gameplay is very serious but the things that can happen will be rather funny.

Example: You are pushed into the trees and he jumps over the trees and the cliff side to safty, he takes two steps and a lane unit archer takes a single shot at him and he dies.

This game is an intense fighting game you have no time to relax in this game, no time to leave a lane and go kill "Creeps" You are constantly fighting and thanks to the complex spells, you have almost no chance of a battle to be the same every time.

This map is a rebirth of the Humans Vs Orc's map but with so much new life, it has no rights to the old name anymore. It is now Reign of the Horde.

This game has features that will reach into uncharted territory directly for entertainment and balance capabilities, the balance for this game alone is harder then coding the game and more time consuming.

This map has a grand feature to improve the concept and overall entertainment in something no one really though could be more enjoyable. The Horde has many clans in this map, so I came up with a feature to give a special lane unit % Chance Spawn, that would replace the same class type of one of the default lane units. This feature allows people to not only pick smart with heroes, but see that heroes clan join the fight real time. Balance is not an issue, every unit is ment to be one of a kind and have it's own strategy as well, you can't just dismiss every unit as obsolete, it would be false.

Other Features of the Game

> Rebalance System that lets a player re-pick to join the opposite force and keep his level money and items.
> Bounty system - You make gold off of dealing damage to units not by killing them.
> Backdooring - Lanes will stay invul so long as enemy lane units are not within 1000 AOE from tower unsportly players are forced to play professionally (If you are a sore loser, this is not a game for you)
> You will not Gain EXP from enemies who are 2 levels lower then you, but you can make extra money off of killing them, you do get the kill (Anti Noob feed)
> The Lowest Level Player gains has 120% EXP after 10 minutes of the game
> Items still have a role in the game just not supreme role

30-40 Heroes Total
4 Lanes
Lanes are 40% Wider then DotA's
In Game Camera is zoomed out so you can micro better and move your screen way less (also makes the game look better)
Every Hero has 6 spells
Max Hero Level is 20
20 Different Item Shops (not all of them are going to be filled)

The Story:
Short Version is to say that the story is an alternate history of warcraft that prevents the Reign of chaos and the lich king. These events lead up to the horde becoming the super power and many legendary heroes breathing again. Some are heroes never known to be played or seen. All will be revealed.

Maim and Rend took him hostage, Orgrim Doomhammer came back and killed
Gul'dan.





Thrall - With
Cho'gall alive Thrall refused to join the horde for belief he had part in the
slaughter of his parents.





Orgrim
DoomHammer - Orgrim slaughered Gul'dan before he could ever
trick orgrim to get captured in Azeroth. Orgim Doomhammer lives to this day and
has joined a even larger horde together to whipe out the last of the humans and
night elves from exsistance.

of Thrall and the events of Rexxar's aid towards the Horde he forever followed

Homeland and found one surviver, A Thunder Lizard named Kradon a beast from Dark
Scar.

why did u need to compare the kill/death ratio to call of duty when it is not a cod unique thing at all

and not to be harsh but ur features seem like some cheesy 90s advertisement. "ur noobs become pros in no time" wtf

and lastly i find it odd u remove backdooring and stuns/slows, they r big tactical players and are not cheap tactics at all (except backdooring maybe)

the lore seems interesting and there are some unique changes but some what you specifically altered from the timeline dosn't make much sense. there are many 2nd war heroes here, yet you never clarify who won the 2nd war. yet there are also things from warcraft 3 here, such as the fountain of blood grom claims, but this dosn't make much sense because if the orcs won the 2nd war there'd be no fountain of blood, and if they didn't win half these heroes wouldnt exist

Well then that is a fine suggestion on the lore. I have changed Groms Story.

The Stun/Slows are frowned on, still there but because stuns are primarily used in games that have little micro use unlike this one, those 3 seconds could determind if you die to not. hence it being hardcore meaning Stuns and Slows are watched dramatically and frowned on if 3 seconds or above. Damages are rather high as well, its mainly about how you will be using the spells along with your items. If you don't know how to use a hero, your items are useless, if you use your hero well and have no items, your hero is useless. The game Centers around Both.

I absolutely understand what you mean about the Second war. The Goal is to make a hybrid between Warcraft 2 & 3. I do believe I will have to remove that Fountain of Chaos like you have said.

There is one thing im interested in:

do u have some landscape pictures ?

Mounts are creatures you see many units riding, like Wyvrns, Kodo beasts, Wolves, Horses, You gotta catch them and bring them to the base and they buff your lane units. allowing you to plan a stronger creep wave assault.

Some Mounts might be coming for the heroes like Nazgrel, he will be off of his wolf at the start of the game, he may mount one if he so wishes in the wild. :p

I do not have landscape pictures yet for I am not done polishing the terrain.

Terrain is only 60% complete

Like the idea of mounts didnt see this in many maps at all. But if some heroes can have a mount and some not i guess it get inbalanced.

alright first things first....

The idea can't wait to play this map

Good things
- Intresting background story for everyone
- Very complex playing style and very unique relying on skill not items my type of map.
- Love the bounty system... helps auto attackers make more money. Don't need to try to last hit.


Needs to fix/things I notice)
- You don't include everyone from Frozen throne... like what about that jerk Lord Garithos that jerk what happens to him? He does have an impact on the story of Warcraft... okay not really got back stabbed and died :p
- Don't get the rival system u said but, I guess that's for later then?
- Dumb question how many spells per character for me, if i see a character having a lot of spells more than 5 then it would be more appealing to me.

Thats all from me for now.... Good luck with the map making!:ogre_hurrhurr:

Ahhh yes, very true, I forgot all about Jaina's father and Garithos. lol.

The problem with Garithos is that a horseman with so few animations has no real place with complex spells. he lacks animations for entertaining spells.

Jaina's father however I will have to plot something for.

@MasterTrainer

I would like to see an example I will make a copy of my current terrain and send it to you, I want to see you improve a general location.

lol you really want me to put everyones alternate story in don't you? I can do that if you want.

> I do not Model anything
> I do not make Custom Skins
> I do not make do any kind of textureing unless I am doing minor add-on's
> I strictly only do Triggers, Balances, Concepts, Storylines, Terrain.
> Terrain is my weakpoint, I'm color blind, which is the main reason I can not texture
> Also, I lost interest fast if I don't have a reason to make something

well its just my opinion thats all :) i think more characters is better because there is a more variety to the game in terms of strategy. If u had the same 25 characters then u can expect some of the same things to keep happening. But, if u had 35 characters then there is more flavor to the mix new things happens.

Oh yeah about the the other two metioned earlier well they both had an impact on the story of warcraft. never played WOW so don't know anything about it. But, IMO u should add them since they had a major story unlike garithos :p and (those characters will be sad cuz u left them out of the party lol)

oh yeah i'm not sure if i saw it but, how many players are there? and will there be AI so that people can play with coms?

:ogre_hurrhurr: lol just like to have it here

Total of nearly 30-40 Heroes when game is completed (Depends on how the warcraft Engine limits the spells, and creativity to keep every spell one of a kind)

Every Hero has 6 spells.

Spell 1: A start off spell that doesn't level at all the entire game yet it grows on it's own or is usefull the entire game.

Spell 2: A ability for primarily targeting out a single unit but can compliment or have a minor AOE.

Spell 3: Primarily for crowd control this spell is made for taking on multiple heroes or farming lane units for gold, so no unit is left in the dust just because of the spells they have to gather gold.

Spell 4: Every Hero has a Passive ability for this slot, these passive abilities are not allowed to be So effective they are as strong as any spell, instead they are only allowed to be 1/5th effective as a spell.

Spell 5: Ultimate Ability, these abilities are not just made to show off a heroes concept but they put fear into the enemy ranks, these spells are sometimes made to drive off group attacks or simply hold people, these are the abilities that will make your foes rage, yet they are not allowed to be OP, they simply aid you put people in a situation they do not want to be in.

Spell 6: These abilities are given to players who are max level after 1 hour, if the game lasts over an hour these True Potental abilities unleash havik on the battle field, these final level abilities are activated only paste the estimated time a game would end, meaning is your reaching a stale mate, you are going get a special treat.



I suppose these should be listed above.

Many current heroes won't even exsist, you must think, Arthas died, his father died, Jaina died. Countless others died in that battle too. Many are missing and new Heroes will rise up to join the Alliance.

Well, you do have a very creative mind, I do believe you could be of a worthy mind to plot spells with me. Of course I might enhance your ideas but they do provide me with a fine idea.


I have learned so much jass, I have lost my touch with GUI, so I have motivation at all to finish spells in my workshop that are GUI lol.

However, since you are a very creative mind, I will be willing to recruit you to my project as a concept creator.

Depends on what type of idea you are coming up with weather it is a spell or an hero.


Heroes need a deep, deep description far more then stats.

Spells should be what enspire an hero rather then the hero enspiring the spells. Because you can have a fine hero but then his model is garbage for his powers that was given to him. So we work in a reverse way.

Hero Class: Heavy Melee

Combat Type:
=> Strong Melee Hits
=> Strategical Bursts of Speed
=> Throwing Objects to disorient foes
=> Area Attacker
=> Ability Combo's Crazy enuf to make people fear tanking him
=> Slow Moving has a hard time running down enemies if he doesn't have his strategical burst of speed to catch them.
=> Can throw objects to hopefully final hit or annoy targets

Note: you can constantly keep adding to this

Powers List:
=> Super Strength
=> Super Sized
=> Is spiritually connected to a rock, he can call for his rock and it rolls to him (note this rock is a boulder and he holds it with one hand and throws it at people not to mention smacks you with it)
=> Most Snares and traps wont hold a Gigas for long.
=> He can Jump very far using his leg strength.

Note: you can constantly keep adding to this

Strengths:
=> Units with little armor will be devastated if taking damage from Gigas
=> Gigas is dumb and isn't affected by fear of death, he will always save his teammates for it gives him strength (Litterally)
=> puts enuf fear in people that they try to avoid him from hitting them at all costs

Note: you can constantly keep adding to this

Weakness:
=> Can never catch a runner but you can use abilities to catch ones of your choice.
=> Has no body armor making him more vulnerable for physical ranged projectiles (Non magic)
=> He is dumb and has bad eyesight he often travels with a teammate to lead the way for him to crush people
=> His mind makes him not fear death or pain but instead he fears fire.


Note: you can constantly keep adding to this

Story: (Doesn't matter as long as they fit the concept and are believable)
=> A titan banished beyond redemption the old gods chained him down in the red ridge mountains sealed away for eternity until now, illidan has released him to give him the opportunity to redeem himself to the new gods by showing his worth against evil, all he had for all those years was a pet rock named kimak, kimak is just a ordinary bolder that gigas has established a magical connection to, the bolder has a disturbing smile face on the rock with blood.

Playing Style:
=> An Aggressive Support and Beserker that is ideal for catching people off guard or easily taking them down from stratigical rock throws (Rolling a rock that hits people and rebounds with a knockback)

=-=-=-=-=


That is your example.


As for Spells:

Complex, Easy to explain, NO freeze hero up to cast spell, all spells are able to walk away from or cancel at any period of a spell.

I do not favor stun spells because knockbacks are basically stuns on their own, I'd rather not combine the two, so stuns are very short 2.5 max (and that's a OP standard)

I don't care how Overpowered a spell might sound when you explain it for I will have a way to balance it mathematically.

I have no problem in the following spells:
=> Reflection Spells (Morph into any unit in the game have the units items and abilities for a period of time, yada yada)
=> Reflect Shields (Rebound knockbacks directed at you at the person who casted it)
=> Deminish Projectiles (Block Custom Spell Projectiles killing them or bouncing them back towards the orginal caster
=> Stealing others spells


=> I like to hold a Min-Max concept on some spells allowing people to control their own chaos on the field by using spells correctly or with more skill then other players allowing stronger effects.

Anyway. Lets see what you have gumx

Good ideas.. very nice.. about the mounts make everyone can get those..

About the Damage Gold gain.. how about those supports?..

Did you know that Supports makes the Victory not the Killer?.. without the support killer wont get a kill...

So i think its harsh for the supports to gain a money.. and how do they support in game very well if they cant buy items?..

And how about those heroes who have a lot of CC but low on Burst damage?..

Very Good Questions Neo_Sluf.

The reason I have added this damaged based gold system and only particular heroes can use mounts is because you can kill the mount with ease.

The Gold Income is based on Damage. Well The idea is that no hero is pure support or pure crowd control.

You see Neo, to balance a game you must give everyone the ability to control the 3 primary situations in an AOS game.

1. Hero Vs Hero
2. Income
3. Crowd Control


Support is a matter of teamwork, regardless if you are a support hero or not as long as you are there you are of worth.


You see I have a very Strict Structure to Spells.

Each hero has this:

Innate: An Ability that is used for special situations the spell is one you start with but is more powerful as you gain stats or levels so it is useful the entire game with out ever leveling the spell.

Active 1: An Hero targeting Ability, a spell that is primarly used to single out a target while allowing you to damage extra units, the goal is to go after heroes with these spells, allowing every hero to have a good Hero Vs Hero fight.

Active 2: These are the Farming Gold/ Crowd Control Spells, These help you fend off Ganks, kill groups of units and ccan often help you against a hero vs hero fight.

Passive: Every Hero is required to have a passive to make them stand different from all the other heroes in different combat situations.

Ultimate: The ultimate abilities allow fearful spells that can often make people who are new consitor them rigged or what ever when infact if you understand the spell you know how uch you can take, resist or avoid to ensure you get the kill.

Mastery: A final level spell that opens the strongest spells in the game (Still very balanced) These spells are pretty for the eyes and very functional for gameplay. They are to entertain and show off a heroes true concept of Power.



You see no matter what hero you are you have a strong field of crowd control and single targeting damages, a fine balance between Damage Dealers and Crowd Controllers, You never have to favor a hero because of your play style for every hero is perfect for any kind of player, your favorites are picked on the hero concept.


As for support heroes my twist to them is to make them never only heal a unit instead they must damage enemies and heal allies at the same time so a 50/50 deal. takes strategy and timing.

okay I got it. So, for spells it needs to look its part of a hero right? not somehow he/she learned it. So, I looked at your hero description and basing two of the spells from the hero Gromash... oh and u can change the name cuz my names for spells are usually funny.:ogre_haosis:

Name: Battle instincts
Target Type: passive
Levels: 1
Ability Type: hero

Description: The hero has been on the battlefield a long time giving him the edge in battle. Gives him 20% evasion. But, when an enemy unit strikes/attacks him if the enemy unit misses then he counters with a devastating blow dealing 500 pure damage.

Extra:
- the hero is attacked
- 20% chance if the enemy misses
- hero strikes back (use a effect like the stampede effect the bloody one)

I am not sure for this one if its better to make it that u click on it... it drains your mana overtime and gives u the effect or leave as is... up to u.

Name: Battle Me Forever
Target Type: one enemy hero unit
Levels: 1
Ability Type: hero

Description: The hero loves a good bloody fight he chooses a enemy hero(random or u select) cast range 2000(or u choose) the two will charge at each other and any enemy unit gets in the way of the caster will be damaged 1000. And any ally unit that the enemy hero touches will be damaged 500. When the two meet they both fight both unable to cast spells but, can use passives. Who ever wins the fight gains bonus gold (or something).

Extra:
- Hero selects a enemy hero
- Both hero charges at the same time to each other. Dealing damage to their enemies. I guess use Impale dust as the charging.
- Both hero fights with only passive skills and strength.
- Winner gets bonus (something)


As always any questions ask :ogre_hurrhurr: If u dislike or want to add something just ask me :ogre_hurrhurr: Also for these spells should I test them out in case there is a bug when u make them?

Well, no and no, an no.

I already finished Grom's entire spell concept.

You don't see some of the problems with that passive. and how annoying that battle me forever spell is.


You seem to like spells that disable your control to be used. You will never lose control for a spell casting in this game.



Concept Info on your Passive Choice:
> If the hero himself is the person who will be responding to him being hit, the problem with that is if you are in a fight with someone and/or chasing someone all someone has to do is keep hitting you a bunch to divert your hero off the path you want. That's a problem and unfair to the person who is playing Grom. Especially if you are trying to run then your hero auto counter dashes at someone, lol.... so much for running to heal.

Future Solutions you could make:
=> it could be a mirror image that shows up on them to damage them.
=> Grom could click on the unit that just hit him to have that counter strike chance like a very small time window to click and activate the chance to do it

as for the ultimate. No duels, the best fights are with spells, not to mention forcing another player of choice to be dragged to instantly by your own picking is unfair.

All Grapples, Knockbacks, Stuns, holds, dragging, pushing, massive damages. Must have a way for the opponent to counter it and the user of the spell must have a strategy to use the spell.

Note: I am not busting your balls, I am showing you the path of a strong imagination, most spells you might see in other spells are strait forward thinking people.

Let me show you how I think and how some spell makers think:

He wants to make a spell that makes him evade an attack every X amount of seconds.

Most people would think of these Ideas:
>Phase Shift for most lazy thinkers
>Timer then add a 100% evasion for the lazy trigger men
>Timer, damage system, floating text. for people who don't particularly care what damages are hitting, This is the most experienced spell makers giving a result based on what is asked.
to go the extra mile is what I think:
>Click Unit about to attack you, you ither use a dodge effect or a counter strike effect (Smack a target before he hits you very fast he is minorly knocked back and doesn't get to hit you, or you simply slide away or fade out of sight and take no damage at all and come back in.

The Creativity Is strong when you think of going the extra mile, Improve, Improve and Improve!

Just give me your Skype account in a private message.


Spider Web Idea:

To simple, I would think of something more like this> Spider channels for x secs as he jumps to several locations every x seconds during the channel looking like he is setting up a web. after channeling he will hoists himself upside down inside his web and every x seconds he will use a web to reach over and drag a random foe towards him over x seconds tha unit is held infront of him for x seconds and takes x damage intervals each second then is released. Meaning you can set the web up in the shadows where people cant see you then WAM they get dragged suddenly into the darkness and end up in a web.

But yeah you are getting there my friend lol.


Thrall: Thrall is dead in this game he doesn't exsist.

Voljin is the leader of the darkspear tribe, he isn't in this fight, Rohkan is however but rohkan holds powers of necromancy and manipulation of voodoo and souls.

Mediev's shadow ability is rather interesting only she honestly doesn't have those kind of powers.


Perhaps I should explain the list of powers these heroes have already.


Rend - Rend is using the Blade Master model, range of spells invole him pushing his sword in a stab motion infront of him, he has a jumping animation, a spin animation and he is good at running.

Rend - Powers, Rend is just a ordinary Orc with a lot of skill. He has very swift attacks but only in a single strike, he is good at countering, rend is for people with very good clicking accuracy for he can block and counter attacks using his innate allowing him to parry attacks, the best micro players would be gods at upclose combat with this hero.

Grom Hellscream - He is very brutal yet fast for a blademaster he is good at taking on more then one foe at a time with brute force.

Illidan - He is fast and able to take on multiple people and confuse the enemy with a fear of where he will strike next. He often uses portals to strike foes and portaling away, his high sense of hearing allows him to sense invisible units he is able to dodge and strike using dark magic.

Mediev - Though she is a warden she is not a dark warden her powers allow her to travel, she uses daggers to throw and often uses poisons. her abilities allow her to hunt people own like dogs she is a very good hunter, how else did she find illidan.

Mannoroth - He uses the Burning Legion as his will he is the creator of orcs, he is very large and can make the ground tremble with stomps or smashing his spear into the ground, he is able to give chaos to nearby orcs improving them while he is so strong he literally devastates people with brute force.

Gigas - I am sure you understand him alreadly he is basically Hulk with a love for a pet rock. Sorta like Wilson from the Movie Castaway. lol


Rexxar - He can throw his axes, but they have to get stuck into the ground or into a unit, he has to pick them up again. He is very strong and he can call forth creatures of the wild to aid him.

High General Turalyon - As a Paladin he is well known for holy powers but not in the way most would expect, his holy powers don't heal, they destroy, the only paladin to optain a holy power that works like a dark magic. (Arthas Model)

Ner'zul - The lich king in his orc form, before he was ever known as the lich king, nerzul is a able to control the dead, demons and immense spells that reign hell on a field.

Furion - Able to control nature at his will he isa ble to call forth many different nature based spells.

Carine BloodMane - HE has the power of his fallen race, he is a possession tauren of pure vengeance driven by blood he is able to take down many people with brute force.

The Ancient One - What you don't know is that this one is a Night Elf Building uprooted, This building is strong and can devour nature to rejuvenate however his powers come from nature so when the landscape seems dead he too will be dead. His body is made of wood and he is able to bring other objects to life.

Rokhan - He has a newly found power of necromancy, but only to manipulate the souls, he harvests them and uses them for improving his voodoo powers he can uses the souls of the dead to cast spells, these souls are also able to protect him.

Azshara - not many people know her powers but in this game she is a in her naga form, her beauty can distract people making it hard to go all out on her, even as a naga her beauty can make even the most defiled creature feel love, moments before she shoots a nero toxic arrow into his heart and stopping it withing 2 minutes.

Zul'jin - A Forest Troll General he has 2 axes and he is one nasty troll he is well known for throwing his axes at people who run away from him with deadly accuracy, but he is also well known for for using ancient troll magic that decends farther then voodoo. He uses berserker powers.

Tryande Whisperwind - She can leap into the air and shoot arrows at people, snipe, rebound off of trees with her cat to tackle foes, she is ideal for the kiting hero, her powers improve during the night as she glows her warrior instinces are improved by elune. She is able to be a in your face ranger thanks to her kitten.

Deathwing - Ability to fly and has a insane ability to tank, he is unable to go after towers for they devastate him, he is one to run from, he uses fire and lava to desvastage the earth.

Magnus Medivh - Lets just say His true powers will be revealed, untold powers able to make the might deathwing piss himself making a flashflood on the field.

Drek'Thar - Taking place of Thrall he holds lighting and ice powers he can even control the weather.

Sylvanas Windrunner - Able to use nature to aid her shoot people around curvs and arcs she can do many strange things with her Bow made from The World Tree.

Nazgrel - Unmounted he literally shreads units to a slices, he is able to tame wild wolves to aid him and sometimes even ride them, he is very good at trapping and taking on groups of units with his massive sword.

Kael - He now controls cosmic powers, he can call down metorites from the sky and reign hell on units and shift gravity, his powers are from gravity and the universe.

Cho'gall - a very deadly magi ogre with one hell of a lust for blood, he uses sick and forbidden magic to dominate a field.

Atomus - Also known as a SpellBreaker, he stands out from the rest of his people, he is not only able to steal magic and feed on magic, his body has mutated into a beast made of pure energy, he feeds on energy to live and produce spells, he can even change shapes.

Khan - Well known for his deadly acts against Taurens, centaur Khan is not your normal Centaur, he was born with an appotite for flesh, he feeds on flesh and will do anything to eat.

Centarius - able to harness the absolute full power of nature he is feared by horde for he was thought to only be a myth to most.

Kradon - one of the most masterious thunder lizards, this lizard doesn't just control lightning, he makes storms, terriable ones at that...

Urthane - born from a dwarven king was born as a normal sized human, who eventually became a paladin, one that controlled shockwaves.



anyway. Most heroes are needed. so you can work on those. just gime your Skype though it will be easier to chat.

Spider web makes the spider channel a web in one location, the web itself reaching a lighting effect out that then grabs a unit then pulls them in, when they are in the web thy are attacked.

To increase a persons sight is a problem sometimes, you have a fine idea of hunting people.

I think the poision you might be looking for is a poision that has a increasingly effective poison, you can have a poision that has a duriation that is added to be longer the more hits you have on them. When you decrease someones speed, keep in mind, you should never increase your own speed when others are decreased. Items should be used for those situations my friend.

The sight given from a poision doesn't seem believable, I mean if she could smell the blood trail and such that would be different (but she cant) I unfortunately can't see her having a poision track a person. I do think however should could throw an item that could track them, but that would need to be another spell.


Master Trainer:
Yes a lot has happened here. Because I have decided to focus on my game.


=============================
Spells I am looking for in these heroes
=============================

Illidan - Portal away dodging and counterstrike warping, able to swift strike and disorient enemies.



Mediev - Blink attacks and daggers, very interesting kinds of poisons that aren't seen often at all.



Mannoroth - very destructive and chaotic physical powers




Rexxar - throwing axes, calling animals to help him without them being summons, able to go nuts



High General Turalyon - using holy owers to deal damage rather then heal anyone, supreme might



Ner'zul - evil powers that are border line between undead and orc.



Furion - able to control nature, such as roots, trees, spirits, animals, and such.



Carine BloodMane - smacking a person and swining him around on the end of his axe. pushing them away, stomp attacks.



The Ancient One - ways to give life to doodads, trees, statues, strong ways to manipulate earth as weapons.



Rokhan - gathering souls from the dead to give him abilities, using souls to block things, using voodoo on people, reanimating himself using souls.



Azshara - perhaps a way to lure people with her beauty, turn them into stone, interesting arrows to shoot at people, ways to slither around fast.



Zul'jin - ways to set up ambushes, able to throw axes at people, but he is melee, ways to go beserk to give himself regeration or improved speed but normally makes him way more vulnerable.



Tryande Whisperwind - ways to jump over people and use her cat to trample or pounce people while she cans till manage to shoot arrows. Very cool ways to rebound off of objects trees or people to shoot more people, very special kinds of arrows, insane marksmenship


Deathwing - able to land and take flight, spit fire, raise lava from the earth, fireballs that brig forth explosions but also raise lava for after effects.



Magnus Medivh - Insane powers that are just strait out amazing


Drek'Thar - able to control winter and lightning, his mount is very good at tracking people.



Sylvanas Windrunner - ways to have arrows that can curv around objects towards people, able to shoot arrows into the ground and have effects raise up in another location, very strange and nature based spells.



Nazgrel - ways to devastate groups of enemies and control packs of wolves at his will, however he must collect them around the map and has spells that involve these wolves.



Kael - powers to shift gravity, open blackholes, wormholes, reign down meteorites produce cosmic explosions.



Cho'gall - magic that comes from the most very gore based magic locations.



Atomus - ways to diminish magic, absorb it, control it, rebound it, reflect it, convert it, total manipulation of others spells and such.



Khan - very aggressive and borderline undead centaur that will feast on people his energy and powers come from being feeding on people. So he will absolutely be strong so long as he is feasting.



Centarius - ways to produce and harness mother nature



Kradon - super storms, insane lightning, rain, wind, the super storm lizard



Urthane - using shockwaves from hitting objects or sending procussive waves at people he is great at knocking people back.

Permanently blocks X damage from each attack (hardened skin), but permanently reduces Deathwing's armor. Damage reduction and armor lowered increases with each level.

Extra:
-Provides heavy defense versus many small attacks
-Reduces armor, so Powerful physical attacks will deal more damage
-This ability is passive
-In the air, this ability remains the same.

Rexxar:

-each time a marked target is attacked by Rexxar or his summons, that unit gains a bonus to attack damage and speed.

Gameplay suggestions:
Just some suggestions about the gameplay, if these have already been discussed just ignore them XD. These could make the game more tactical and less DotA.

sounds nice!
general hint on making spells with high skill cap:
try to make spells that lead to decisions like
"everytime the victim of this curse attacks it will receive damage and a stack of slow"
or
"roots yourself in place to get armor and more range/damage on autoattacks, toggleable"

making the best decision in situations like this shows who has true skill

Illidan
Name: Double Assualt
Target Type: instant sort of(requires timing)
Ability Type: hero

Description: Illidan uses his quickness to attack the target once that is in front of him dealing X1.5 critical strike. The enemy is pushed back at that unit regular moving speed/current the unit is also invulnerable to any other attacks or spells just like Illidan, then Illidan fades 50% moves in the same line as the unit that he damaged and gets bonus maximum speed for the duration of this spell. He must move behind the enemy then u have to press the ability button again for him to attack with a lethal 3X critical strike. Getting pushed back for both units lasts 3 seconds

Extra:
- Illidan damages one target with the spell in front of him 1.5Crit
- both him and target gets pushed back on the same line with target unit moving at current speed and Illidan at maximum
- when Illidan is behind the enemy unit u press the ability button again he deals 3XCrit and stays in that position

This ability I'm not sure how to explain better but, lets see if u see what I see.:ogre_hurrhurr:
