Hello folks. I made an AoS style map some time ago, The Dawn of Battle (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/dawn-battle-aos-v2-2-a-129642/) and posted it both here and on some other WC3 map sites, and have since that time received a great deal of mail with people asking for AI. I love the idea, but the map is admittedly not wildly popular on Battle Net, like many worthy maps. A fair number of people (upwards of 50 somewhere) have contacted me requesting this change, with the general consensus that it would enable a small group of friends to fill out a team for bigger battles (for which the map is intended) or to play an at least mildly engaging round by themselves when no one was around.
Obviously, the problem with this request is that I never delved into creating AI, and the task does seem quite daunting, particularly as I have been far too busy to put more development time into the map for quite some time. Still, I would really like to add this final feature to the map, for those who do enjoy it. I played a one-man team in the development of the map, so all things considered I am quite proud of how it came out - but the lack of AI and its low popularity on Battle Net mean that you have to wait for your friends to be on, or sit around in an open game hoping there are some adventurous people on within the next several hours (which is often times unlikely).
I also know that with the release of games like Legends of Norrath and League of Legends that AoS maps for WC3 probably aren't knocking a lot of socks off these days, but I am posting here due to the fair number of requests I have had, simply to see if anyone with experience is even so much as bored enough to take up the task.
Again, the map can be found at the following link: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/dawn-battle-aos-v2-2-a-129642/
I will be thankful to anyone who does so find it worthy of their time and efforts, and of course full credit will be given as it is with all original testers, custom icon contributions, etc.
Thanks for your time, folks. Cheers!
