Reign of War v1.9

Gilles: Map works well. Fairly unique and fun map. The beginning was slow though, and I thought that 25 gold wasn't enough. -Approved-

Terrain looks nice looks a bit like China except of the little island in the middle

Well, interesting strategy map, but it seemed a little imbalanced to me. The elven starfall was just.. meh.. pewpew bam psschk and my whole army was dead.

For me the Crusaders that red would send at me would destroy my entire army of Abominations with full upgrades. You might want to try to balance those out.

You might want to reveal the whole map at the beginning because the players that played with me didn't know where anything was. Lucky i saw this map preview here on Hive. Also, try to take out the Goblin Zeppelins and connect light blues base to the mainland.


Overall it was very fun to play and at times a bit dull. The Tech tree is a bit confusing at first but I eventually overcame that. I'll give it a 7/10

Can we get the option to not play with upgrades ?

Balance issues, stagnant gameplay while upgrading, and balance issues are caused by this... I don't wanna so NO UPGRADES FOR ANYONE but at least no upgrades when I'M playing would be cool.

And who doesn't love it when X player charges out with fully upgraded abomination/knights ! "I thought you quit" you say, but no ! And all your men get roflstomped.

I usually don't spam attack/armor upgrades until the very end of the game (I stay at like maybe 3-3 most of the game) and I can still handle ppl coming at me with 5-5 or even 10-10. You just have to be smart about what types of units you get (there are lots of hard counters)...don't mass archers against grunts or something, get hunts instead...stuff like that.

And I can tell you with confidence that you don't even need to tier up to stay in the game. I successfully fought off 3 guys attacking me and all I had were the two standard tier 1 units at 0-0, unupgraded tier 2 casters, my hero, one city, and one farm (NOTHING else). I stayed alive for well over an hour and won the game in the end (I think red left cuz he got pissed he couldn't kill me with his horde of 7-7 tier 4 melee, lol).

But if you just completely hate the downtime when everybody is fast teching to tier 5 (happens every single game, I know) just get tier 1 units/tier 2 casters and start harrassing people. If theyre fast teching they have no units. Even if you don't kill them its some action and xp for your hero

It didnt work for me
I really want to play it
When I try to play it, it dosent show what teams you can be. I dont know why. Looks fun.

I'll look into it. It was working when I was testing...maybe optimizer screwed it up but that's unlikely.

EDIT: Confirmed that it's map optimizer. Debugging now...going to post a hotfix soon.

the changelog makes me sick, haven't tested the map

 

[Blooboom]

[aznricepuff]

It's currently in beta. You can get it by logging onto the Westfall server.

but, when i try to go back to another realm, it wont let me use that patch... How do I play this game with other players?

Very nice map, 5/5. Since I love RTS maps and I appreciate most of them I can give a good critic about your map.

But the elven starfall is unbalanced I guess, make it weaker.
