This map is based from the original version 1.31 by Skamigo. I improved it very well to make it better by focusing on the gameplay. As of version 2.62, I renamed the map to Wintercore HD because it's not just his map now but ours and it can continue motivate me to continue the map. Anyone can download the unprotected version of the map. You can edit, modify it or learn from it. (Note: Loading time is horribly slow that takes a minute <Makes it eat my time developing the map>). The Unprotected version of the file is always attached to my latest comments when a version releases. There will be a time when I will stop releasing updates for a while as to do other important things in life. When that comes I will return someday and add some things that I have learned. |
tks. i waiting next version
maybe i need more training -.-" btw i saw some really crazy items on the lvl 500 boss. is there a way to get these ?
Reasons:
Missing custom preview image: To add a preview image, resize the image to 256x256 or 128x128 using gimp and save it as .tga. Import the image and change its path to 'war3mapPreview.tga'.

Comment: There are some memory leaks not destroyed, like in the hero selection triggers.
Review:
Gameplay:
The map isn't original in any way as far as I know, it uses the generic castle defense formula, however you have spiced things up by adding a complex stats system that really effects your spells and your character.
There is a wide range of heroes to choose from and they all have flashy looking and custom spells.
There are also multiple difficulty levels and the game detects that you're playing in single-player mode, allowing you to adjust some things.
There are recipes for 'ultimate' items, however most of the items are default ones, making them really boring.
It would also be nice if the spell hotkeys were bound to QWER.
Terrain:
The terrain is ok, there's a lot of terrain height variation and also tile variation, along with some special effects used as well to make things more animated. However the grass models don't fit at all and you could have added more environment doodads. The blizzard cliffs make things look really unrealistic along with the trees on top of them.
Other:
The in-game text is colorized and well written, however you should do the same thing for the quest text.
And a custom loading screen image and preview image would also be nice.
*Some heroes have hotkeys, others don't
*Change the music to something more intense (doesn't have to custom)
*Add fog of war
*Add snow weather effect
*flame shower doesnt come from the sky
Overall:
An ok, maybe a bit fresher castle defense map with a unique stats system, the game can be fun, but it still lacks a lot originality and more features.

Hell_Master: Rating changed from 3/5 to 4/5 due to good changes but what's holding me really back on rating it 5/5 is for the potions actually.
Thanks for letting me know. Things are getting a little bit difficult from now on (3rd time failed attempt to fix). I'm not even sure if that problem is within my control.
... Even something like the wave comments, I feel it too and change it often if some of you do notice.
Thanks for the suggestions and bug report. The resurrected bosses will be scaled though [base stats + (75 or 100) x Attribute]. And yes, I am still on the process of improving the waves and bosses on every version released. I will add something like the Bosses will 25% Resistance to Towers and give them more abilities. As for the release, It might take few days to weeks or even months depending on how much time I have.
)
Thanks for the suggestions, here's what I did and may or will be added in the next version:I dunno if I'm supposed to judge the difficulty or not, but I saw some other reviews from other maps that do so, so I will....
-You should probably move the current God difficulty to Nightmare, then make the God difficulty Harder(like make 2-4 of those burning units). Both are too easy to be called that.
-Probably make the Boss resistance to towers increase as the difficulty increase. Bosses feels just almost the same as in easier difficulties. (Gets brutalized by towers, they're already good, but considering it's on nightmare, they should be more tanky)
-Make that box, that gives the core existence item, more durable. I'm breaking way to easy.
-Make a limit on how many divine towers(?), Or make them 80diamonds or something(?)
-the last boss is already Ok
Bug(or need fix)
-the wand Item that gives avatar and a max heal, the max heal doesn't actually max heals. It just heals for a large value.
I'm always playing this on solo(sad I know), so I don't know if it makes things easier (I never read everything). But I was playing on nightmare, with my PC running at 1-2 fps (at best) for the entire game, and I still won. It was very challenging though, almost lost, but the fact that I won WITH that conditions is just.... crazy
Ps; the games isn't laggy, it's just that I got an ultra potato PC
And beating it while being super lag isn't that crazy since I've beaten many maps and games running at bellow 10 fps, sooo... don't worry to much.
- Now the item now has an spell that will cast Finger of Death or Fully Heal depending on who the target is (And is now droppable).
I hope have some event in game : fam money, Diamond, level...... and New Boss, weapon GOD ....... ThanksThanks for the suggestions, here's what I did and may or will be added in the next version:
On Nightmare:
- They will now have a burning unit. And bosses of wave 10 - 40 will now have a 40% Tower Damage Resistance
- and some of their abilities that increase their resistance will be increased.
On Abyssal: (Made that renaming few days ago)
- They will have 3 instead of one burning units. And 4 bosses will now have 55% Tower Damage Resistance
- and their resistance increasing abilities even more than nightmare.
The Wand item. I have remade the spell days ago when I was testing Elite Sniper on that item and realized that the item is too broken. Using Mirror Image on Elite Sniper will unexpectedly turn 1 bear into 9 bears.
The Vault Box now has 4 million HP instead of 2.5 million HP. It also now has 100 Armor instead of 0. As for the Divine Towers, they will now have a max stock of 2 with 180 seconds before it replenishes. The Divine Tower is now priced at 60 Diamonds.
Me too, I also play solo testing this map so you're not alone on this part. (I can only test the multiplayer part through a program that lets you use multiple instances of warcraft which is something called w3l)
If anyone is curious on what will be added in the next version click on the pastebin link below.
Wintercore HD Next Release
Because I From Vietnam then Speak English is bad Sorry but I love your map
Yes, I have confirmed that it is indeed a bug. Thanks for the bug report and it is fixed for the next version.
oh... thanks for telling me, that happened because I changed enemies from computer to neutral in version 2.68 making it not be considered as enemies (I changed it because setting enemies to Computer will make them do things that are not intended like automatically casting spells). I'll just add an enemy player in the next version.
thanks a lot man...but for now, can you enable the player 2? we are hardcore fans of skamigo -> wintercore and we really would like to play the updated version 2.69. we know it'll take time since you'll be busy with other things and it'll take time to finish the next version. oh and btw, did you fix the Beastmaster skill? he cant summon his wolves but other skill works fine and we seem to find some bugs on on version 2.67 as well. hopefully it wont pass to next version. oh and can you add another level as well? we finished abyssal with just 2 players several times and craves more challenge
.
Player 2 or more will probably be enabled alongside adding an enemy cpu player in next version. It's unfortunate that 2.69 can only be played at single player but version 2.70 will be released soon within few days to weeks. I don't see any problems with the Beastmaster (Wolf Whisperer), his 1st skill Q = Wolf and Command, does not summon a wolf, the Wolf is already created at start of the game located at the south of castle and it can't be controlled with mouse and can't be attacked, only through 3 skill commands of 1st skill.thanks a lot man...but for now, can you enable the player 2? we are hardcore fans of skamigo -> wintercore and we really would like to play the updated version 2.69. we know it'll take time since you'll be busy with other things and it'll take time to finish the next version. oh and btw, did you fix the Beastmaster skill? he cant summon his wolves but other skill works fine and we seem to find some bugs on on version 2.67 as well. hopefully it wont pass to next version. oh and can you add another level as well? we finished abyssal with just 2 players several times and craves more challenge

diehard fans
p/s: omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg its the author himself!!!!
On version 2.68, I've done a fix about the wave bugs. Maybe it might make this bug happen more infrequently. As this bug is a bit hard to completely fix.
Not sure if this will be completely fixed as I consider it a rare bug that is hard to replicate, Orange Portal should not be selectable (But in the photo you provided it can be selected). In the next release, One change I made is that spell teleportation will now be canceled when he dies.
Very nice that you provided me a replay. Thanks to that, I gain some insights and seen couple of bugs like the bridge getting destroyed, enemies moving to the dock into the waters, and so on.
