Author'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
- Naro (for continued feedback and support)
- 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

Reviews
11:08, 27th Mar 2010 ap0calypse: Approved
Well I tried it out and I can't say much cause I played it only once... First thing I noticed was the terrain - seriously epic. The concept is original not another dota-like map or not completely. Theres this thing I noticed in the Upkeep area it says - Kingdom of dreams beta you might want to fix that. Will update my comment when I play it a few more times.

Lol you have stolen the Logo and name from the accual "Demigod" game :p

Well the logo was a result of the name which was a result of the objective of the game. So really I just took their logo. Regardless, however, I didn't "steal" anything.

lol i thought this map based on the real game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZG4x...eature=related
the terrain,units and gameplay..and i see this model odinhttp://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/project-odin-anarchianbedlam-137414/?prev=mmr%3D6 looks like the demigod rook in real game...^^

You know its funny, when pregomal said he thought it was the RTS Demigod game I actually thought that the Odin model looks similar to the rook as well. :0

I know it took me a while to get used to the archer looking like traxex too :). Also i'm thinking about adding more abilities to the Demi-Gods so the fights are more diverse.

Thanks for the comment mate!

Does it have AI? I don't have battle.net and Garena players commonly play DoTA and some other stuff, they stick on old maps and never advance -_-

This has alot of features etc, and I don't feel like writing something big - sorry.
But it's a nice map overall, but the problem with the AoS genre is people need to add difficult things to make it original which makes the maps very complicated for new players. OKAY! enough with the obviousness

Thats alright mate, just glad to get a review. I'll add a set of objectives and directions in the description so people know what to do to win the game. I'll also explain the quest/item/node systems.

Thanks for the feedback :thumbs_up:

Here's a review P:

Well I was recently saw this map and as it looked good, so I decided to give it a review.

So here is the review, Hope you enjoy and use my ideas and criticism to help improve your map.

*NOTE I played Night Elves - normal mode - normal mode - normal pick With Hero Shadow*



  • Epic loading screen
  • Nice number of custom heroes
  • Awesome custom spells/icons/items
  • Epic terrain
  • Nice number of game modes
  • Nice number of item recipes
  • like how you can Upgrade units creeps and buildings.
  • Like the side quests for those that want to do them
  • Match Statistics
  • How the enemy hero that we have to kill comes onto the field when freed



  • No Bugs
  • No Glitches
  • All of the game worked


  • Hard to get to the shops/quest area


  • Could add an upcoming updates log so we know what you are working on fixing/adding


  • You need to add more teleporters to get to shops/quest area (Read Suggestions Teleporters)


Okay I was recently playing you map and got really annoyed how I had to walk a mile just to get back to the shop/quest area of the map.

I was thinking maybe you could add a few more teleporters spread throughout the map so it isn't as hard to get back to base. (Although don't put too many in plane sight or enemy heroes will just use them to avoid being killed)


Overall, the map is a fun and enjoyable map which requires lots of strategy to win. The map also has many different game modes which makes for hours of fun and enjoyable play. Also as there are no glitches/bugs/errors in the stuff that I tested I would suggest this map to friends and people who like dota styled maps with a twist. I would also suggest this map to people who have an interest in custom icons/models/spells game-play and that map is also worth playing just for the scoreboard at the very end of the game.

I Vote for Approval and would give it a 4.5/5 It doesn't get 5 as there is still 1 con that I found and I didn't have a month to test all the different game-modes/items/heroes.


All in all hope you liked my review as much as I enjoyed playing your map,
Lag_Reviews P:

PS: I'd love to here your feedback on my review and can't wait to see what you can bring to this map and many others!

Serious review man. Critiques like your allow me to fix glitches, adapt the map to popular demand, and improve overall gameplay. Ty and +rep

I'll take the portal thing into consideration. One of the aspects of the game is that you have to weigh the pros and cons of going back for items (new items vs. time wasted and experience lost). However I do understand the frustration that may arise from this and I may decide to implement additional portals later on (maybe have portals on each path but have a 5-min. CD to use them).

Glad you liked my review P: Hope it helped. Thank-you for taking item to read through it and I am much appreciative. Also glad to hear you liked the portal suggestion P:

I like the idea of having a portal on each path that has a 5-min Cooldown although you still need to make sure heroes can't easily use them otherwise when you go to kill an enemy hero they would just run through the portals and avoid death.

Although to fix the avoid death issue you could some how make it that heroes have to be on full health to use the portals on the paths.

Thanks for reading my review, liking it and giving me rep,
Lag_Reviews!

PS: Can't wait to see what you come up with, with the portals and the future of the game. Keep up the good work!

Good idea, must have 75%+ health or some such (or I could implement a system which detects when they attack/are attacked and say they can't use the portal within 15 seconds of combat or some such.

Well obviously the details of the system need to worked out, but I think between a health catch and well-placed portals it could work.

Btw update coming that will include new heroes, quests, and items, a revamped in-game multiboard, a new creep boss, and several spells will have leak-fixes.

I haven't played your map because i stop playing warcraft but about the teleport thing. You can make it so if the player target the teleport with right click the game to check if the hero is in 100 or less range of the teleport and pause the unit for 10 seconds (teleportation time) before the unit is teleported to the base. Some effects u can make the unit transparent each 1 second by 10% and reset it's properties when it's teleported. I have find 2 maps (this and one more) that i wanna test maybe i will download warcraft to test them next week :wink:

Nice idea, I think i'll be implementing a portal system in 1.3

everytime i try to host this on my bot it seems to disconnect people for no reason as the load screen finishes sometimes the whole game sometimes just a few people

Thanks for the report, i'll look into it and see if I can't find the problem



Also, update to V1.2 which will fix a few minor glitches

Criteria

For a high Terrain mark the map must look beautiful/amazing, the terrain needs to make the game more enjoyable for the player as well as suit the game type.

For a high Triggering mark there must be no leaks and be efficiant.

For a high Origionallity mark, there needs to be as few of the same game type/genre as well as game style along with unique systems and suchlike.

For a high Difficulty mark the game very simply must be as balanced as possible.

For a high Inventivity mark the game should get around problems that other games may have faced before and achieved it well.

For a high Replayability mark the game should be able to be played many many times and still give something new to the player as well for them to enjoy it over and over again.

For a high Object data mark the map should have used custom resources/standard resources well, such as fitting icons, good descriptions and tooltips.

This map - Island Genesis v6.3

Terrain: 5/5 - beautiful and magnificent, really great work

Triggering: 1/6 - I hate having to do this, but this map is full of leaks, also check out this bug that you'll need to iron out:
Demi%20god%20bug.jpg


Origionality: 3/10 - there are way way way too many Aos maps out there, give this one something to spicen it up a bit more than all those otehrs

Difficulty: 10/10 - pvp basis, It's a AOS everybody already knows how to play.

Inventivity: 4/5 - I do like that little safe heaven as it were in the bottom left.

Replayablity: 9/10 - AOS, they are all 'replayble' like some find dota replayable, but ofc you have the haters who might not like it.

Object data: 5/5 - excellent use of object data, a great map.

Final mark

Mark - 37/51 (4/5)

Vote - approval (doesn't matter as it is already approved)
+rep - no, with more work yes.
Beta Notice
As this is a beta, The mark shall not be counted as a rating, however all +reps if a 5/5 or higher achieved by a beta will not be given again if the mark is improved once the map has come out of beta. If they get a 5/5 higher in a beta the creator will still recieve +rep.
Please inform me when the map has come out of beta so that this review will be updated to match the map out of beta, if however you are proud of this review with this mark achieved in beta you can request another copy in either just below this one, just above this one, or in another post later on in the comments.

Ty for the review mate, very well done.

I've now made it so if Demi-gods are attacked by an enemy tower they will instantly be teleported back to their base.

Also i'll get right to work on going through my triggers one by one patching up leaks.

Thanks again mate :)

ok, haven't played it yet, but from what i read, it seems incredibly complicated. I like having a not-everyday concept, but i think this would be just too much

edit : Ok, even more complicated than i thought.
I have no doubt at all that the gameplay is going to be awesome, and that the spells and triggering are awesome too, but after i started the game, i chose a hero, and it summoned my hero in a big area with a huge amount of items and some units and some quests and this and that... just too many things. In theory, the map should be awesome. But you should have started small, and then progress the map over some time. I mean, that's what happened to dota - it started small with dumb heroes, and then over the course of time, they added heroes and crap and now it's popular.
I'm not saying you need dumb heroes to have a good map, but if you force people to start learning all of those items and heroes at once, they are gonna give up.

still, gets a 5/5 for the awesomeness that i could see from the few, rather short, times i played.

That is actually a pretty nice tip to all aos map makers :O

Thanks for your input mate, I am actually in the progress of creating a tutorial video for this game where i will explain each aspect of the map for new players. It's approximately 20% complete or so.
