I found a buggy, Phoenix's Disengage can make you get stuck in the terrain...

CommunityAuthor's Note
(5-30-2010) - V2.14 is here and includes some important bug fixes, several new items, and a new hero stat. Please report any problems you may have and enjoy <(^-^)^
(5-26-2010) - I am in the process of re-creating Strife of the Elves. When I first started this project I was much less skilled then I am now and therefore the base of this game is not made well while the rest is. The new version (that will come somewhere between this weekend and the next) will include all the same heroes and items (most likely I will even add a few) and have the same general set-up. It will, however, have completely re-done coding (in order to maximize efficiency and take away some of the problems people have been having) and terrain (in order to make the map more even and balanced between the two sides).
The following is a list of resources or general help needed for the project (rep and credit will be given):
- An icon for the Shadowmistress
- A more detailed icon for the Phoenix Marksman
- A more war3-looking icon for the Archangel
- Specific help balancing heroes
- Error and glitch reports
- Any cool screenshots or videos you may take
General FaQ
Q: Which of my spells can crit?
A: Any spell that deals damage or heal is capable of a critical strike
Q: One of my spells is a damage over time, can it crit?
A: Yes! The die are rolled for each time damage is dealt. Additionally, crit die are rolled for each unit affected by an AoE ability.
Q: How is spellpower added to my abilities and how do I get it?
A: Spellpower is simply added to direct-damage/heal spells (i.e. a spell that normally deals 40 damage is being used by a hero with 18 spellpower so the spell will actually deal 58 damage). If the spell is a DoT ability, then spellpower is divided by the number of times damage or healing will be dealt and added each time. Spellpower can be obtained through items or abilities.
Q: Are items effected by my spellpower and crit?
A: Yes! Any non-consumable item with a usable ability is modified by both the users spellpower and critical strike rating.
Q: How is magic defense calculated into abilities and how do I get it?
A: Magic defense operates pretty much the opposite of spellpower. The damage of any ability cast agaisn't you will be reduced by your magic defense. If it is a 12-second dot spell, then, just like spellpower, it will be reduced each tick but also divided by the number of ticks. You can get magic defense via items or abilities.
Q: I am playing the Death Guard, and I am curious if my Dark Empowerment ability will adapt to fit any health I obtain while it is active.
A: Negative, the 30% health increase obtained from Dark Empowerement is simply added and then subtracted after the time is up.
Q: I find this game boring and think it is alot like DotA and other generic AoS-type maps.
A: You're doing it wrong
Special Thanks

- JetfangInferno (for the many effects of his that have been used in this project)
Your primary objective is to slay your enemy's Demi-God. The Demi-God is kept in a deep slumber in which they cannot attack and are invulnerable. In order to awaken the Demi-God you must slaughter each of the 4 warlocks surrounding him. The 4 warlocks can be attacked after all the towers have been destroyed on any of the 3 paths leading to your enemies base.
Sanctuaries
If you destroy your enemy's sanctuary on either the top or bottom path, a guardian will spawn on that path for the rest of the game. Guardians are powerful entish-warriors that deal chaos damage and cannot be upgraded. Most spells that refer to "creeps" exclude guardians from there respective effects
Wells
There are 2 magic wells located in each base. If the enemy team destroys both wells, your team will lose access to creep upgrades and the tranquility ability
Nodes
Nodes are capturable buildings located in the center of the map. If captured, nodes will give stat bonuses to your team. Nodes are VITAL to winning a match and should not be ignored. There is a "no node" option for those who do not wish to play a node match.
Node bonuses are as follows:
Graveyard - 10% damage increase
Sacrificial Alter - 150% mana regeneration boost
Spirit Tree - 4 armor increase
Moonwell - Notable health regeneration and movement speed bonus
Ranging from slaughtering enemy creeps to venturing to the hostile murloc village, 7 quests are available in the Strife of the Elves.
Quests do not need to be picked up by a player, however they must be turned into their respective NPC. Walking near a quest NPC will trigger text that gives a quest description, requirement, and reward.
Rewards vary and include:
- Gold
- Insignias
- Experience
- Items
Demi-Gods are the main focus of this game. In order to win, you must slay the enemy factions Demi-God. This is made difficult by the fact that Cenarius and Martok have high armor, health, and mana and furthermore have abilities that display unprecendented power.
Cenarius (NE)
Gift of Cenarius: Sanctifies an area with holy magic. After a short period, all friendly units within the area will receive a large heal
Demi-Cleave: Cenarius's attacks cleave enemy units, allowing him to deal damage to multiple creeps at once.
Starfall: Calls down a flurry of stars at a random point around the Demi-God, dealing high damage to enemy units nearby the barraged point.
Martok (DE)
Reign of Fire: Encases the area around Martok in fire, causing nearby units to be trapped with Martok and keeping units outside the circle out.
Demi-Cleave: Martok's attacks cleave enemy units, allowing him to deal damage to multiple creeps at once.
Wrath: Conjures a fiery eruption at a random point around the Demi-God, dealing high damage to enemy units nearby.
Upgrades are available at your circle of power (located within the Sanctuary). If you level an upgrade it will automatically level for all other players on your team. Upgrades are a vital part of game-play and should not be ignored. AI players will choose one of 3 random upgrades to purchase every few levels. Upgrades can be purchased 5-10 times depending on which.
Insignias are small trinkets that can be used to purchase special items/bonuses from the insignia vendor within the Sanctuary.
Insignias are obtained by:
- killing enemy heroes
- completing quests
- slaying creep bosses (only 1 currently)
Insignias can be used to purchase:
- Permanent state bonuses (str, int, agi, health, etc)
- Bonus experience
- Bonus levels
- An Ankh
- Or traded in for gold

I think there are too many special effects especially on units.
After the game ends spawned computers are not invulnerable and wander the map until the last command it was ordered is if not completed at least tried.
