skamigo's hero defense 1.31

Revamped my old skamigos hero defense, having cleaner triggers, better gameplay options, nicer terrain and more heroes with more custom spells to enjoy.

Gameplay:

The game is easy, pick a hero, and defend the castle against 40 waves of creeps with a boss each 10 waves. Or is it?

Damage and spell detection
Recipes for better items
95% Custom Spells (triggered)
Single Player mode: allows you to increase the amount of creeps that spawn, and play heroes too laggy for multiplayer.
Omega spell: each hero can learn his strongest spell, to learn it the hero has to reach level 20 and defeat the omega boss, paying 5000 gold to challenge him in the arena (Shop north-west corner)

Crafts: there are 4 crafts that you can increase with certain items or by leveling
->spellcraft (only for spellcraft heroes): the more spellcraft you have, the more damage your spells do, the longer your summons last, or just in general improve your spells. Spellcraft increases your intelligence by 1 for each 100% after each wave.
->weaponcraft (only for weaponcraft heroes): the more weaponcraft you have, the more damage your abilities do, and in general improve your abilities. Weaponcraft increases your strenght by 1 for each 100% after each wave.
->capitalism: gives you bonus gold after each wave, amount increases per wave, the more capitalism you have, the more gold you receive. Effects abilities for certain heroes.
->Wisdom: gives you bonus exp after each wave. Effects abilities for certain heroes.

Personal items: Each hero has a personal item that he/she can unlock

Gonna test it.

Edit: Okay, not a bad map.

-Good things
-Leakless spells
-Various items
-Interesting things (weapon craft etc...)
-Various Hero
-Funny comments when a wave spawns
-Item mixing
-Bosses


-Bad things
-Spells are leakless, however, there are still memory leaks like Hero revival
-Quite boring
-Some tool-tips are not clear
-Not balanced - Some hero got cool abilities while some only have a few


Overall- This is a recommended map.
4/5 There are always space for improvements!
Voting for Approval.

Yeah excatly... checked it with friend... and battle mager spell is a bit overpowered for first wawes, aren't it?

Yea first waves are supposed to be easy, especially if u play on easy, don't know what you played on? The waves get harder and harder to the end, and it really depends which items u buy as in how strong your hero becomes.

Also the right combination of heroes can make some heroes more imba (heroes with auras that increase crafts for instance)

If you find some heroes TOO underpowered or overpowered let me know and I'll see if it's really the case

Edit: the map is ideal for 4 players, but you can play with more or less, also if you want the amount of creeps spawned in multiplayer you can put computers on your team

memory leaks like Hero revival and a lot of lagging , it is fun , can you put really easy , very easy , super easy i am playing easy , as a trader , it is hard to reach 35
wave + lagg and etc

more recipe , like 2 trader necklance + 1000 gold = merchant necklance + 10 %gold aura and 6 cap per lv up
 
Really nice map :)
Still I would like to see some things improved :)
-Multiboard
-Difficulty systems (instead of reducing units hit points, just edit handicap for that player)
-Hero Selection systems (improve taverns :p)
-Item recipe systems (Instead of recipe show item icon :), when hero buy item with normal icon, replace item with same item but with scroll icon...)

A little more polishing all around :)

Fix this and it will be 4/5 from me :thumbs_up:

Found some bugs:
1. Trigger Editor -> Item classification -> Beastmaster C: the condition is checking if its not beastmaster OR not beastmaster (omega) it should be not beastermaster AND no beastmaster (omega)
2. Object Editor -> Units -> Custom Units -> Human -> Melee -> Heroes -> Text - Tooltip - Extended: the robot has exactly the same discription like weaponsmith
3. you have created a new hero called "Lightning Mage" but i think you've forgot to create a "personal item" (because couldnt find)

i like this map its very interesting but still couldnt finish the boss at lvl 40

i liked that game alot 5/5 !!!! but unbalanced, if you choose the shaman you could get up to wave 47 i think, but i found a bug with the ultimate spell, when i get money and become the required level to go and attack a boss to get the ultimate spell, when i kill him i won't get back to the base again this needs to be Fixed and i got up to wave 37 but the shaman could kill almost everything and i was doing it solo, though and it makes you tired after wave 30 :)

Saying you can't play the map, and not telling us exactly what happens, hinders the fixing of map development.... What I find hilarious, this is the SECOND map you can not play, you made a post on my map saying the same thing.

the map is good, but needs to be more balanced. in the wave of orcs lords, they did their slam all the time and when revived kill you in seconds if you had no magic damage reduction

rate this game as a 3 / 5

Yet another map that fails on items.
The moment I see Slippers Of Agility, Mantle Of Intelligence and Gauntlets of Ogre strength I know the map sux.

Can't you people make anything except stupid recipe based items?
