Royal Arena v0.91p

Royal Arena

Inspired by Spellcraft, Orc Gladiators, Heroic Town, The Arena and Impossible Bosses

Gameplay
The objective is simple: you and your teammates survive in the arena for 30-50 (depending on difficulty) rounds.
The special? You craft your own spells out of the random elements which drop each round.

Description
Four normal creep rounds and every 5th is a boss level.
Boss fights are inspired (as listed before) by Heroic Town, The Arena and Impossible Bosses.
They are meant to be hard and challenging, in order for you & your team to work together.

Specifications
The map is playable from 1 to 8 players (difficulty scales with players). But I recommend 4-6 (without leavers).

The map is playable in both, classic and reforged (as you can see from the videos below). Props to xWizardOnYT for hosting & streaming my map 😉.


Credit list is not complete. I might do so when I find the motivation for it. Keep the map as substandard if you'd like.

Additional Info
My english hasn't been very good when I've started developping this map. So some of the descriptions are a bit off. Nontheless I have never met anyone not understanding what should be understood.
It's also not a final version. There are still a few flaws and unbalanced abilities. Also I still got plenty of ideas of what to change or add (but not the time to do so). Yet it's far from being a beta version. Thought, the later levels (which are only available on the hardest difficulties) aren't tested really. But I doubt there is a need to do so, as I haven't seen anyone beating the map above average without cheating.

The map is unprotected and I do not care if you edit it. As long as you improve the map. If you don't see me doing any changes on it for over a year, I grant permission to continue/edit the map under the same name. Otherwise publish the map under a different name.

I'm open for feedback and suggestions but please, don't be too harsh with me. This is neither my job nor do I earn any money by doing so (as most of us don't), and if you criticize me too much I might just lose any motivation to provide good content.

Anyway have fun playing! 😌:vw_love:

Stuff like Just another ****** Crit should have passive looking icons since they're not active spells or anything. Could make them with: Button Manager v1.8.2
Healing Wave and Berserk were both on hotkey E although the first was on the first spell spot and the second right under Hold Position. Played with the Monk.
Can't have more than 5 abilities at a time but then there remains an empty spot.

A regular hero-arena defense map with some nice systems.

Approved.

ADDITIONAL NECESSARY INFORMATION
  • A credits list in the map thread description is required where the names of the resource (models, skins, icons, spells, sound etc.) authors are mentioned along with the specific resource. It would be a luxury to have links leading to the used resources. Credits in the Quest Log would be appreciated too.
  • A detailed changelog in the first post would be helpful to reviewers and notify fans about the newest implementations to your map.
  • Map thread tags are important. Please use those that fit and not more or none.

Hey, thank you for your review!

To your points
  • I agree with the icons, they should (and will) be passive.
  • Colliding hotkeys: I didn't find a proper way to avoid this since I cannot predict which abilities you'll pick.
    A solution would be to make 5 different abilities (each with different hotkeys) for each ability. Which seems like too much work.
    I'm still hoping that blizzard will implement a way to alter the hotkeys.
  • Why 5 abilities: because the amount of rounds is 5 * n, where n is the max. ability level. With 6 abilities you could either not max all your abilities or I could change the amount of rounds per difficulty to something like 30/36/42/48/54. But then there are too many creep rounds and bosses every 6th is meh. Maybe i'll find a propoer solution for this.
Ty for your feedback!
