Chose one of 35 unique, well balanced and new-themed heroes, pick up your weapons and get ready to dance in the swirling gaze of war. Cause devastation within the enemies, destroy their outposts, dare to challenge extreme Bosses, lay a hand on power-ups and pick several of many various items to complete your fighting absence. With your dying breath, drive the achievements to your own side while preventing the enemies to do that first, and then crush their base to stop their economy progresses. And for the grand finale: Do it as you wish, because this map contains various customizations that will allow you and your friends to change almost every aspect of the game, in order to create your visions of perfect balance! |

-Achievements; -Two bases for each faction; -Three side bosses; -Outposts instead of single towers; -Custom and personalized waves; -Game aspects customization; -Incoming system; -Waves upgrade system; -Item Recipe system; -Item Set system; -Item Evolution system; -Item stack and split systems; -Runes and Power-Ups systems; and more...
Create your own balance for the game! Customize many aspects of the map to the way you want. Scars of War allows you to change several game aspects, such as, experience rate, damage of the waves, level cap of power-ups, turn off the achievements and more. You can make it easier, harder, faster, customize for 2 players only or play with the default values. -achi/-achievements: Turns on/off the achievements. -sb/-subbase: Turns on/off the Secondary Bases. If turned off, the bases will remain invulnerable for the rest of the game. -wu: Turns on/off the level upgrade of the waves. -wd#: Sets the level of the damage upgrade of the waves. # is a number from 0 to 25. -wl#: Sets the level of the waves. # is a number from 1 to 3. -sw: Turns on/off the Super Waves at game start. -sx#: Sets the percentage of experience gained by the heroes. # is a number from 1 to 100. Default is 65. -npu: Turns on/off the Power-Ups. -pu#: Sets the level limit of the Power-Ups. # is a number from 1 to 10. -wt#: Sets the delay time between the spawn of the waves. # is a number from 20 to 50. Default is 35 seconds. -speed#: Increases the movement speed and/or attack speed of everything on the map (heroes, units, buildings, neutral creeps, etc). # is a number from 1 to 3. -ban: Allows the host to ban up to 5 heroes. 
The map includes more than 10 Achievements. Some are individual, to one player only, others affect the entire team. Each one are vital and can make a huge difference. Try to complete them before the other team and recieve unique rewards. 
Pick up Power-Ups that may drop every time a player kills an enemy wave unit. They can increase primary attribute, gold income and even decrease how long it takes to resurrect your hero, but be carefull, because if your hero dies, it will lose all the collected power-ups. 
Each faction has 2 bases, a main and a secondary. Protect the secondary base of yours while you try to destroy the enemy's one. These bases provide the gold used to upgrade the waves units and your free income. If your faction loses the secondary base, its waves will upgrade slower and you will lose your free gold income giving a great advantage to the other team. 
The damage of the waves upgrades automaticaly every 10 minutes, but you can increase their level buying upgrades on the market in your main base. Use it to your advantage by upgrading the waves before your opponents and make pressure on the other team. 
Fight against powerfull bosses that require team work to be defeated and gain powerfull items. 
Each lane has a themed wave and outpost. Instead of a single tower in the middle of a lane, you will fight amid more elaborated outposts, each one with a theme and its own pros and cons. 
Beatiful and strategic terrain with various fog points, hidden passages between the forests and tall grass that blocks the line of sight, resulting in many points to ambush your enemies or flee. 
Very detailed tooltips for all skills, allowing you to know every single detail and take maximum advantage of them. 
A complete in-game manual(F9) with valuable information.

Tired of heroes with 4 or 5 skills all the time? If your answer is yes, you will find in this map some heroes with a lot more than just 4 skills. But if your answer is no, this is still a map for you, because there are heroes with the good old 4 skills formula.
The map has 35 heroes with different gameplays from the normal ones that everybody knows from other AoS maps to heroes with a more complex style. Play with heroes with the old 4 skills formula, heroes with more than 10 skills, heroes with no ultimates, heroes with 3 ultimates and many more, each one with its own and unique theme. And all carefully balanced. Use the spells wisely, find combos to increase their effects and cause massive damage. Try combos with other heroes, some of them has good synergies with others and can be very dangerous together.

After picking a hero, it is time to choose how you want to customize it with the array of item types the map offers. Each one with its own caracteristics, pros and cons.
They are divided in the markets by "function", for example: starting items are all placed in the same market, the same with the items that increases attack damage, armor, consumables, evolution, etc. There are 5 different kinds of items, check the in game menu (F9) for a more detailed description: Commons: the normal ones. No secrets here. They are cheap, but not that powerfull, however some of them have useful abilities. Recipes: the same of others AoS maps, just buy all the listed items and they will form a new one. Recipes are supportive items and can help a lot. Sets: buy all the listed items to form the whole set and recieve additional bonus. Check the base's fountains for the lists of the sets with the full description. They may be expensive, but a sure of power. They are very powerfull and have unique effects, however they will take some space in your inventory. Evolutions: fight for your item. You buy a weak one, then, if you fulfill the evolve condition, it will become a more powerfull one, but every time you die, they lose a part of its evolutional condition and some of them may drop! Click one of these items to display its information. Not recomended for beginners. Cursed: they are powerfull, but... cursed. At the same time they boosts your hero, they will decrease something. Cheap, but dangerous... Use at your own risk.

To explain even more:
It's not easy to make an AoS becomes famous nowadays, but thanks, I glad you enjoyed the map. ^^The terrain could get some improvements
The heroes are well, items too.
Was pretty cool to play, though it's kind of unknown.
By the way, great to see the full credit list.
Ok, now I get it.To explain even more:
In dota there is hero named King Leoric - Skeleton King
His ultimate is simple resurrection with mana cost!
My opinion is that this hero, because of his model should have different ability for his ultimate instead of current one!
Point was to show users that your heroes have nice organized abilities, Phenix ultimate when he change into egg is awesome
Thanks, dude. ^^
Wow, thanks for rep!
Thanks dude, but I use the default zoom of WC3. I didn't change the camera, except for the smooth effect. You are probably having this feeling because of the size of the buildings, they are bigger than the normal. ^^
lease read all your spells and buffs, because you have a lot of grammar mistakes (nivel,thorns aura,surplus letters etc.)!
Once I was playing and the damage rune appear 5 times at the left side. I will try to improve the rune system to prevent repetitions.Use this for Marine : http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...marine-163906/?prev=search=marine&d=list&r=20
xD
Yeah runes are random (I know now) but I swear in 1 game every time invisibility was on the right side!
EDIT
Thanks, the Shaman was a really interesting idea.
I make the buildings bigger than normal to create a more realistic feeling in the bases and outposts, so I don't have plans to make them smaller. Maybe I can create a second camera that is zoomed out.Okay. The buildings are really big, so that must be why I keep thinking the map is very zoomed in (will you make the buildings normal sized, or keep them looking huge?). Anyway, I've tried to host this map a few times, without much success, mainly because there were some heroes whose spells caused huge lag in the game when used. Not just me, but everyone that was playing in the game had lag when those spells were used. If you could fix these lag issues, that would be great.
Other than that, this is a great map and I can't wait for the next version to come out. I like this map even better than DotA already.
Rating: 5/5. +Rep as well.
Thanks Vardix. +rep for you.The Shaman character (guy that looks like Strygwyr from DotA), causes major lag when he uses one of his spells. Also the Pit Lord has a skill that causes lag. I'm not sure exactly what these skills are since I haven't used the heroes, but a skill from those two heroes cause some major lag. If I notice lag from any other heroes, I will post of it here.
One more thing: In the games that I've hosted, whenever I select -ap mode, I start out with something like 700-800 gold, and I am able to choose a hero. Everyone else in the game is unable to choose a hero however, because they do not have any cash? Any idea why this is?
Other than those two issues, I love this map. I'm also fine with the big buildings, it just looked unusual when I first tried out the map.
If I find any more problems, I will make sure to let you know.
I will continue to try out more heroes.
Nah everything so far was Skar work!
Hehe, I can't wait to see your load screen once you make it Kobas.
Also, did you make that avatar? It looks awesome!
Tried out a few more heroes today, and I haven't seen any lag from them, so that's good news.
I am so happy to hear that.
The loadscreen is a little pixelized because I am using a low quality LS to save some space. I could increase the quality a lot, but it will increase the map size in 1MB.That's great news. Can't wait to see the upcoming versions! ^^
Just wondering, but how do you make a loading screen for a WC3 map?
This is not a bad start. These evo items at level 3 have some nice effects.
This part sounds very interesting! The cursed items are the ones in the shops that are in the middle of the forests right?After some time, when you feel you are playing better, you can try start with the Begginer Cap of Learning. It's a cursed item that makes you weaker, but increases your experience gain.
The Caos Emerald has blink.
No, the cursed item market (aka Helgrum the Forgotten One) is hidden in 2 spots of the map. Both on top lanes, one for each side of the map. They don't appear on the mini map, but you can see one of them in the screenshots of the description.
Wow, thanks Narrat0r! I think I care too much about the description.
And it never stops, I already finished one of the new features for the next version, something simple that only helps new players to host the map.
Thanks for the great update, and looking forward to version number 1.
This will depend on the player. If he/she master the hero, then yes.
Thanks a lot for hunting bugs, this is very nice and helpful.Hey! So I am currently doing some bug-hunting.
1. -nhl/-noherolimit and assuming -AP: after you pick 1 hero, you can't pick another hero from the other faction.
2. For Paladin, the United We Stand aura doesn't properly update the tooltip as it is leveled up. Like for me right now, it still displays the level 1 tooltip when level 4 is researched. Check into this when you have the time? I used -level to level up Paladin to 20 to check this.
3. For Sorceress: For Telekinesis(through Lightning), the tooltip says Nivel 7. I assume Nivel is supposed to Level?
Let me know if this is helpful. If it is, it would be pleasurable for me to help more
