Southfury Banks

[Moderator]

VGsatomi: Approved. Excellent map. Very much attention detailed, very well terrained, and involving gameplay. Players build their classes up from their peons/peasents and assault eachother's bases. Great work.

Excellent map. Very beautiful terrain, abilities, spell effects and audio effects fit to the classes. Game mode is very similar to WoW's Alterac Valley: you have to kill the enemy side's general, burn down their towers and, of course, kill enemy players. Very broad and fair gameplay and strategy options for both sides.

Unbalanced game... A certain class has a 10 second stun, you get a lot of cash, if you're skilled you don't die (except cuz of 10 sec stun ofcourse), so you always have plenty of cash... And the list goes on... The team that gets the upgrades the fastest wins...

Hunters counter Stalker stealth and thus prevent stuns, try playing in a team and you won't have any problems.

There are plenty of uses for "all your cash". Upgrade your guards, respawn book vendors, downgrade to peasant and repick your class to adapt to the current situation (like pesky stalkers), etc...

And just because you have all upgades (btw: what do you mean? class advancement or guard upgrades?) you don't win automatically... try some strategy...

Dear "Ultimate_MapCreator",

I am sorry that you could not yet find the enjoyment and awesomeness of Southfury Banks in your early game experiences. To alleviate your judgement, please let me share a few tips on how to deal with the problems you adressed:

.: STUN :.
A rogue / death stalker can only stun you for 10 seconds, when this unit is stealthed. There are several ways to deal with rogue stealth. One, have a lv3 hunter with you (6 tomes of wind). He has an ability named "Flare" which unstealthes rogues. Second, the Warrior's Thunder Clap ability and the hunter's and priest's DoTs prevent a rogue of re-stealthing.

.: MONEY :.
With gold, you can:
- repick your class
- buy tomes for yourself or teammates to upgrade your unit
- buy tomes for yourself or teammates to adjust to the current tactical situation
- upgrade your graveyard guards
- revive slain tome seller NPCs

.: EARLY UPGRADE = WIN :.
There are several and easy ways to catch up in Southfury Banks. One, you can butcher swine and sheep as a peon unit for 100g/each. You can creep monsters close to your starting area. You can sell tomes of slain enemies. Capturing a graveyard grants a steady stream of income plus the reward of killing the enemy NPCs. Slaying an enemy faction officer grants a few thousand gold. You never have to worry, however, that your enemy team will greatly outnumber you in terms of stats, as there are no items within this game and as the maximum number of levels you can obtain is 3. Overall, I can assure you from various Southfury Banks gameplay sessions, that the formula "early upgrade = win" applies comparably much less than the formula "good teamplay = win (and fun!)"

(Same of course accounts for "Capture the Egg", where this formula is brought to the next level.)

Can someone please give me instructions on how to install this to my game? Every time I put it in my folders be it WC3 Frozen Throne maps, Campaigns, or Scenario, it doesn't show up in-game. I have installed other maps on my game however, and this is the first time I've experienced this problem.

Sure, here you go: in order to be able to play this map, you need to have Warcraft III TFT v1.23 installed.

Unfortunately, the map does not work with the current Warcraft III TFT version, as a few changes were made to the editor in patch 1.24 that made this map's version incompatible with the game.

So again: if you set your game version to 1.23, you'll be able to play some awesome team PvP (3v3 and more recommended) matches with your friends via LAN.
