Orcnet: One of the most fast AoS ever made right now, cons of the game are the heroes' spawning time and those killing streaks, it somehow spoofs 2 soundsets at a time please them all.

@DemonFace and @IamFootman061 you can't vote for approval here, map is unfinished.

Sadly at this point map is far from approval.
- Empty terrain (Missing doodads of all kind, environment, lightning, special effect etc).
- Map type is more AOS (ex. Dota like gameplay) than Hero Arena (ex. Angel Arena like gameplay).
- Missing game: modes, difficulties, special conditions and setup.
- Heroes are default ones with few extra spells.
- Almost no items (Those cool looking potions are expensive and not so good for such map type).

Those are very basic things still need to be created just to get that 2/5 Lacking rating and approval.

Hello,

I tested out your map. I think you have a start to a project but essentially it lacks content.

Here are my thoughts -

• The following camera is very annoying and serves no actual use for gameplay. I suggest removing it or at least enabling players to disable it.
• Having a stupid AI is better than no AI at all, but I think it could use some work. At least make AI use their abilities.
• Having heroes locked to a player slot is not very intuitive. You should make a hero selection system.
• The terrain is very simple, and for a map without much scripted/data related content, you should at least improve it a little.
• Abilities available are very simple, although at least they're not 100% copied from wc3. I suggest taking a look at the spells section and adding some custom abilities if you don't code them yourself.
• The fountain of power makes games stagnant, and the decision process behind attacking a unit near the fountain or ignoring him is sort of mundane. Just remove the fountain and think of a different way to regenerate life/mana.
• The immediate hero resurrection process is also unintuitive and just slows the game down.

Above all though, your game needs original content to be worth playing. You triggered some game rules like a win condition and the game is playable, but you severely lack any reason for players to want to come back.

Good luck.

* now the camera can be unlocked.
* the AI learns and uses abilities now.
* The heroes are no longer locked to game slot.
* There are serious changes in some abilities and heroes. And as you can see the terrain is extended.
* The fountain of power's aura is reduced and it sells potions for gold which is received from killing enemy heroes.
* How does it slow the game down? Now the respawn is 6 seconds up from 5.

The alerts when someone or your group kills someone is too Dota-like, too bad, you aren't updating it anymore. Well you are going to start updating it once the moderators notice something.

New review!
Good points:
terrain is good
description is good
interesting gameplay (its like hero arena and AoS at the same time)
Bad points:
respawn time is too fast
dont make the way to shops soo small because the enemys spawned too fast and the entrance was blocked by my teamates and they were just sitting there and killing and i couldnt get out of there
Suggestions:
fix the things said in bad points
4/5

 

[stan0033]

Good points:
sorry, but there is none
Bad points:
terrain could be improved
computers wont use spells
there are no shops to buy items
Suggestions:
fix the things said in bad points.
Right now the map is 1/5

I suggest you play the map before saying there are no shops to buy items and "the terrain is bad". Also read all the info for the map before playing it! I said they learn passive abilities only. I think the terrain is good enough, but if you know how to improve it, it is good to share instead of just noticing . Second, learn how to write reviews. You don't appreciate my work and disrespect me.

Okay i checked the map again and you should also add other items not just consumables and the problem with the terrain is that most of it is just the sand and the brick road.

The Battle for Sunken Island Good Points Bad Points Gameplay. The Gameplay was not that nice but still can be considered. I like the way you put AI. But it could be better if you can make them a gameplay they want like they will pick a round and how many heroes they will kill each round. I don't like the fountain because you will just run there if you're run out of life or you're fighting with them and the enemy will run because they know that they can't win against their enemy with the fountain. Try to put a main base for them where they will buy an items and make the fountain attack too. Tips. I like it too that you put some tips. It can make the player play it easier. Terrain. The Terrain for me is too bad. Lack of doodad and terrain tile. Especially the water terrain. You didn't put some corals in there. Intro. The Intro was odd for me. I don't like the way you lock the camera on the ship. In-game text will be better. Spell. Most of the spells is not MUI and that's the reason it make the game quite boring. And some special effects too will be cool! Suggestions Try to make a custom spells for the map to make it nicer and some special effects too. Make the terrain not empty. It doesn't look good because it's empty. Make a main base as I mention above. Make the intro better to make it look good. Rating 3/5 and Vote for Approval. [tr]

Check the review above me.
But, I like the gameplay, you know. It reminds me of an old friend (Jas.per) and his maps.
A small map with FFA.

sorry, I didn't know that it's not done

-the pink brewmaster just goes near the enemy fountain... instead of attacking
-the AI does not protect their ship
-grunts don't attack heroes if footmen are dead
-grunts might also return to their base only to come back to the human base (regions need to be closer to the ship)
-grunts might not even attack the ship and just walk around it
-footmen can be stopped
-double kill is heard even with first blood and then even at the third kill
-battles near fountains are very slow paced as regeneration is high (+mana for healing)

Not much variety.

2/5.
