The Dark Colosseum 2

I'm going to make a remake version of my old map. (The Dark Colosseum v1.3+AI)

-When I was playing on Garena. Everyone complained about the random system that sends players to the arena. I fixed it. So it's a lot more fair now.

-Remaked the skills of the heroes.

Thing have to be done

-Add game modes.
-Beta test.

A gladiator map?
Nice! is it finished?!?

Not yet. I need to add more items. Because NO ITEM = NO FUN.

PS : Have you tried the old one?

 

[sonofjay]

First of all, you use Blizz Cliffs too much, by that you already reduce the beauty of your terrain. Remake your terrain and use you blizz Cliff less, and doodad more.Just use your mind then you can make a very beautiful Gladiator Arena by using doodad, (right now I can imagine how I will do it.)

I don't want to import too mush because it will take time to download. If it's too large, no one will want to play because it will take too much time to download.

Ok. What's your idea? What do you want me to add?

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I would suggest a custom battle system. Standard warcraft combat looks unrealistic.

You mean like in "Unholy Invation"? I think that's good. Thank you for the suggestion.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

I haven't played that map. May you link it?
I was just thinking a spell for Attack, a spell for Defend.

 

[Heinvers]

Again blizz cliffs! What's so special about them? I find most of them ugly. Just asking.

You don't need to import models if you don't want to, using what blizz can offer is enough, just use your imagination.

Tip experiment on Dalaran Arc's its great on this kind of map, but if you will use it, remember to change your tileset.

 

[shinji]

@Drunken_Jackal

Unholy Invation

@hain039wilderness

I don't know why they say it's ugly. Looks fine to me...

@sonofjay

Ok. I'll try adding more doodads.

 

[Atticus]

Why I agree more doodads is important, you don't need to add a whole mess of them. I think too many maps overuse doodads to the extent that it looks busy; really busy. Aesthetics is so very important when adding doodads; and if you do it correctly I think you can make a map look really well designed with a medium amount of doodads.

I agree to that. Thank you.

 

[shinji]

Wait... If I add a custom battle system, I have to remake every thing. Sorry drunken_jackal I'm not going to add it.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Its fine if you dont want a better map for me. That custom battle system could have given you more supporters.
But besides, its not my mod.

 

[shinji]

Beta vertion uploaded!!!! Please test it and please tell me what to fix. There is no AI yet. But put AI to make time to go buy at the shop.

Downloading:

I'll leave a review later.

EDIT: Name too long so I can't open it on warcraft, but don't worry I shorten it myself so I can now play it, all I want to say is to rename it yourself then re-attach it here.

EDIT:

Okay here is a little review bro,

Bad:

• You don't have a tutorials in-game(means almost all of the bad things can be removed when you put a tutorial.
• I can't buy items.
• Dual Swordsman is very op with high damage, hp and armor. I swordsman with 8 illus can't even bring him down.
• Terrain is not that good.
• Gameplay wasn't that fun.
• Basic Blizzard spells
• Bad tooltips
• Haven't really used lots of import stuffs

Good:

• Many items(but haven't tested them since I can't buy one
• Nice idea

I can see lots of potential on this map, but try to give more time on it to make it better

Suggestions:
Use custom icons
Use custom/triggered spells
Try to improve your terrain
Improve your tooltips try to use color text

I'll add some tutorials soon. Game play IS FUN if you play with a lot of people. It's balanced when people fight. Fighting AI is boaring.

 

[shinji]

Update!! Thanks to Sonofjay. Added simple tutorial. And fixed some misses that I found.

@Sonofjay

By the way, what version of WC3 are you using?

@Sonofjay

my wc3 version is 1.26

I suggest you to work on spells and improve the terrain later.

 

[shinji]

Ok. When I add a new hero on the new version, the new hero will have triggered spells. I don't want to change the current heroes. Check this replay out. It's 1 v 1.

 

[sonofjay]

Sorry bro, I can't watch this if I don't have the exact version when you played this.

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

Well you shouldn't just make 1 hero with triggered spells.
It would be better if all spells were triggered.

 

[sonofjay]

Well you shouldn't just make 1 hero with triggered spells.
It would be better if all spells were triggered.

This is right, you need to put more effort on this, look on my

other project, got 10 heroes with almost all of their skills are triggered, and I just made it in 3 days of worthy effort work.

 

[shinji]

Really?? I don't want to change the skills of the old heroes. It's balanced and you can use the hero's weakness with it.

Why does it always have to be triggered??? Blizzard spells aren't that bad if you edit the effects.

Why? are triggered spells can't be balanced? I'm telling you're spells are very basic even changing you change the effects. But when you changed your spells to triggers, people will see the effort you putted on the map and have a high chance that it will get a high-mark.

Ok. I'll add it to the now heroes. Not to the old ones. Because some people in Garena already know this map.

EDIT: Small update. Fixed bug that Gladiators can buy from allied shops. Added charged items.

Item discription will be added soon. Started working on the AI (Need help. Just ask me if you want to help)

 

[Drunken_Jackal]

No no no. You should create triggered spells if you want this to be approved.
Look at your old map: Pending.

 

[sonofjay]

even if players on garena already know your name, you still need to improve it on anyways. Refusing to improve things that can be improve is bad.

 

[shinji]

Update!! Added a new hero. Priest. He's going to twist some team battles.

 

[shinji]

Update!! Added a cool ending. Imporved terrain.

 

[shinji]

Uptade again. Fixed a little miss in the ending. Also a relpay of the (Beta 1.2) 2 v 2 (Two humans, two AIs)

 

[eubz]

Nice map. downloading...

 

[shinji]

Nice map. downloading...

The cinematic is still bugged and many other bad things. I will fix it a soon as possible.

 

[shinji]

UPDATE!!!! I played this map on 1 v 1 with UndeadImmortal and I got owned!!! I'm the creator and I lost... LOL Here's the replay and the map when we played it. After playing this I fixed some minor bugs. The newest is in the first page.

 

[shinji]

UPDATE!!! Added a chat floating text system for more fun in multiplayer!!! Added a music system. Pay some gold and time and your favorite music will be played!!!

Shall I post the map in the maps soon???

 

[sonofjay]

@Shinji, its already a fun map, and I think its good enough to be on the map section, but try to add unique spells first.

 

[shinji]

I'll try to add a buy skill system. You can buy 2 skills, one can be bought at any level and the other can be bought at lvl 25 (The hero ability icon is gone.)
