This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This is Shadow Wars 2 Test Version.
For more information about the game, check out the original Shadow Wars.
NEW February 10th, 2010 - Shadow Wars II v.41
New Stuff
- Added a third base, Ruined Ship, to the southeast.
- For the new base, included a weak village, medium village, strong village, and lumber mill.
- Up to 3 players can now play.
Changes
- Skeletal Mage's Fel Fire ability now doesn't cost mana, but has a 4 second cooldown.
- Burning Zombies now have slightly more health and damage.
- Assassin's now have the Slow Poison ability.
- Increased the casting range of Web Spinner's Web ability, and made it autocast by default.
- Redid scoreboard and dominance triggers in JASS, making them smoother and more efficient.
- Dominances now give less/more score based on their difficulty level. For example, Research Dominance I gives only 1 score while Research Dominance III gives 3 score.
- When a player earns a dominance, it also says how much +score they get as well.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a bug where destroying a Northwood Company Lumber Mill wouldn't corrupt into a graveyard.
- Fixed a soundset bug with Rogues and Assassins.
- Seemingly fixed the bug in which a hoard a villagers would spawn randomly, which I still think was funny.
- Fixed a bug where players would desync on hero selection.
- Fixed a bug where players score would constantly set to 0.
- Fixed a bug where players who owned a Halls of the Dead would still have a vulnerable base.
- Fixed a bug involving some dominances not working.
- Fixed a bug where the level cap wouldn't raise when upgrading to Halls of the Dead/Black Citadel.
- Fixed a bug where a player's food used would be lower/higher than it should be.
After some speculation, it doesn't seem like I will be able to reach my ideal 10 player count for this map, since I've already hit max map size. I'm expecting this map to be an 8 player map like the first one, unless I decide to make 2 players able to play as a human faction or such. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
These are all of the bugs I've run across, and will be happy to fix any additional ones found when reported!
Additionally, a lot of the game's triggers have been redone in JASS, and the result should be a much smoother game with less crashes.
Upgrade Chart Showing all the Combinations
I'm posting this up for 3 reasons:
1. To appease anybody who wants to play it (I know there's at least a few out there)
2. To test the game for bugs since currently my free time is VERY limited.
3. To give people a chance to make it into the credits (anybody who's tried knows its hard).
Please keep in mind that an enormous chunk of the game map is still a work in progress, which is why this test version is so small (the map, not the file size). Due to the size of the map as it is, this is a 1v1 only version. The full version will be a 10 player game.
Anyhow, please tell me of any bug reports, suggestions, and all that fun stuff.
And as always, I will fix any bugs as quickly as I can!
Feb 4th, 2010 - Shadow Wars II v.40
Changes
(New Stuff)
- Arcane Towers will now change into Shrines when corrupted.
- Human Barracks will now change into Summoning Gates when corrupted.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed just about every bug I came across that involved heroes, including hero selection, getting gold, and higher lvl upgrades not being available due to hero level.
- Hero spells should all work correctly, this means Dark Conversion and Soul Preservation will benefit from upgrades, Heroes can now correctly learn base spells, etc.

- Random Base selection works correctly now.
- Perks (both random and picked) should work properly as well.
- Heroes can now correctly pickup gold coins.
- All unlockable heroes should now be correctly selectable.

- Added nifty gun sound-effects for human Riflemen.
- JASS'd some more triggers, increasing map quality.
Test Ver.36a
I discovered the mighty power of JASS, and used my new found power to fix/optimize a few things.
- Converting Villagers, both Hero and Tower, should no longer have any bugs whatsoever. Or at least none of the bugs I knew about previously.
- Change about 20+ GUI triggers into JASS 2 triggers and 4 functions, fixing a ton of memory leaks, increasing game speed, fixing some bugs, and likely reducing the game's crash rate.
However, I did accidentally leave out the floating text "Villager Zombified!" but will add that later.
Test Ver.36
- Fixed a ton of bugs for Player 9 Gray, including a food bug, a level research bug, and dominance bugs.

Problems
I think you should remove the snowing, or reduce it, really hard to see.
- Well I loaded my code, and I couldn't choose other heroes, only the dreadlord.
- I choose random bases, but it still says "You have 5 minutes to claim a base"
- My hero at the start wasn't in my base, he was at some random point
- Hero Selection timer doesn't go away.
- What you do with the gold coins? You should write information about that.

It's a great game, if it had been with more players (at least 6) I'd host it a lot on Bnet...
A couple of cons, though...
= Bugged:
- I did not have the 'Level 3' requirement when I was level 5 (I assume I didn't get it at level 3)
- When I died I gained -15 food, and because Warcraft 3 does not accept that, I ended up with something like 500000... I could not upgrade any of my units because of this.
- I did not get the resource dominance, but my enemy did, while I had 33 souls and he had 20. I didn't get it when I reached 20 souls...
- Note: I was gray (the 2nd player) and played with observers ON, but nobody was in the observer slots.
= The arcane base is almost entirely useless... Yes it might be a good location to regenerate your mana, but it's in the corners of the map, also, it does not use the chain lightning spell out of itself. I suggest you move this outpost to the center of the map, it would be much more useful there...
= Gold doesn't have a lot of uses, yes, you can buy an outpost with it, but that's really all...
= Gold is hard to get, I suggest you make the creeps respawn and make humans drop small coins as well, if you increase what you can do with gold... I suggest maybe some outpost where you can scout any location on the map? (goblin observatory-like) Units you can hire? Items you can buy?

@Ultimate_MapCreator
In all honesty I didn't really work too much on Player 9 Gray. In the original Shadow Wars, Gray was a human faction, and thus most triggers weren't designed to work with that player. Don't be surprised if lots of things go wrong while playing Gray.
The map was intended to be a 10 player game, with the map being much bigger, but as I said above, I pretty much stopped working on this game.
Northwood Company was to have a lot more opportunities to spend and earn the gold, also including a reputation system, but I never got around to completing the map.
The Arcane Tower was to serve as an observation structure, revealing a portion of map with its line of sight, but I didn't see much point of worrying about that until later in the game creation stages.
I recommend playing the original version (Shadow Wars v1.4). There's somewhat less quality in that version, but its much more playable.
EDIT:
In this newer version v.36, the food bug, the level bug, and all the dominance bugs (there were a ton) for Player 9 Gray should now be fixed.
