Thx for people who have already download it and who tell me some suggestions.
If you have some ones too please post here.

 

[chilla_killa]

Sounds interesting.
I always care a a lot of terrain.
In my opinion the terrain lacks of ground doodads like grass, rocks etc.
A nice fog waether effect would make the atmosphere more exciting.
chilla_killa +rep

 

[magIc_seeKer]

looks interesting
terrain looks kinda ok...but it could use some small improvements

keep up to good work

 

[Gaisler]

Hmm, sounds interesting

 

[Yan]

thx for your comment, I will see what i can do and talk about it with the terrain helper.

 

[Velmarshal]

Terrain needs work it's too ... how to say warcraftish.
And flat.

 

[Yan]

ok, just a question : why a terrain "warcraftish" is bad? it's a warcraft III map.

 

[Velmarshal]

Well you know there are nice custom trees at the hive of warcraft3campaigns and the warcraft ones look bad. Also try avoiding the large square and circle brushes (i recommend size 1 or 2).
There are also nice terraining tutorials here on hive these might prove useful:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/general-mapping-tutorials-278/terrain-forest-cliffs-33441/

 

[Yan]

thx for the recommendations and links +REP you will can see the improvement when i will upload the next version.

 

[Yan]

I have a bad news for everyone follow the project (if there are): The terrainer(VampireofBlood)'s computer is broken so The four horsemen can be upload for the moment.
(ps : I can make the terrain myself but he is a better terrainer than me)

Sry, for that and for the lack of news.

Other things : I will attach the map on the main post 1 week before I upload it on the site.

 

[Jsprat100]

If you want some ideas for the horsemen:

War
Blade of War - halves a target units health
War Taunt - taunts nearby units, restores the horseman's health
Rampage - Increases speed and attackspeed for a few seconds

Famine
Plagues of Famine - stops nearby units from restoring health and mana and deals damage to them.
Scales of Plenty - Deals damage to a unit based on its health regeneration
Locusts - conjures a swarm of locusts that follow a target around, dealing damage to it and nearby units over time.

Disease
Disease - Slows a unit and makes it take damage over time.
Goblet of poison - poisons all nearby enemies
Immunity - Restores the horseman's health over time and gives him spell imunity

Death
Doom - kills a target unit and reaps his soul, gaining strength. Only works on units and heroes under 200 health.
Scyth of Death - opens a portal that spawns evil creatures
Skull shield - Gains physical damage immunity

 

[Yan]

Very good idea +REP I thought to have finished the four horsemen spells but now i see that not. thx

 

[Jsprat100]

Thanks for REP. If you need inspiration, you could always read the bible, new testament, revelations. Its near the back. The horsemen are there.

Cheers, Jsprat100

 

[Diamondeye]

I know of a Mod for another game where the four horsemen are in aswell. There, they are named Ars, Buboes, Yersinia and Stephanos. Just a suggestion, if you were in need of names.

 

[Yan]

thx, it can be useful +REP

 

[Yan]

Hi everyone, I'm making 2 new heroes : the Demon and the Angel
The demon appear when you sacrifice your acolyte (you can sacrifice your acolyte if your horseman have been exorcized because your horseman become acolyte when he is exorcized)
The angel have chance to appear when your priest die against the horsemen or a demon.
More details on the main post soon.

 

[Asomath]

Famine and pestilence are actually combined, and the fourth hourseman is "Conquest", who rides the white horse. I havent played the map yet, so im not sure if the horseman are bosses or somthing along those lines:

You either did this purposely or made a mistake. However, if these guys are bosses, it might be better to have conquest in there. Conquest would be one of two of the horseman who would be able to attack from long range (the other being famine), and he would also be the only one who could use light healing spells. It could make the game more interesting, as he is also one of the horseman who could be temporarily good.

At least, thats my thinking, you might be too deep into the game to change anything now

~Asomath

 

[Yan]

In the oldest version there aren't the horsemen.
When I did Pestilence's spells i thought it can be either for Famine or for him, it was a little weird so I will try to see what can be interesting with Conquest but i have difficulties to find spells.
The horsemen aren't bosses they are controlled by players* (*i don't know if it's a real explanation)

thx for your comments which give me some difficulties to answer.

New Mode

Pros or cons adding a new mode?
if you are in favor tell me what kind of mode do you expect?

Villagers flee the devasted world by a portal.
Villagers take differents paths.
Heroes can be catch in an orb (like Thrall who catch Chaos Grom).
No Creep camp.
Dead heroes revive automatically

The Catholic Church must protect the villagers until 300* of them are saved.
Players control the four Paladins.
Each villager saved give 1 points in all stats and exp points to each hero who composed the team.
If the Portal is destroyed players must rebuild it.

The Satan Sect must kill 300* villagers before 300* villagers are saved.
Player control the four horsemen.
Kill a villager give 1 points in all stats and exp points.
Destroy the portal to gain time.

*: this is an exemple

What do you think about it?

Don't hesitate to give your ideas
Thx for reading
