TSoL_EoTh (Exodus of the Horde)
Whats this?
You can guess this version is all about the good old horde.
It will feature gameplay improvements but on the other hand it will feature a lot of new techs and units.
Features
-Base management: Tier 2 towers, all towers will have upgrades available this also includes upgrades for base defenses. As you have noticed when a building hits 2000 hp guards come out. You will be able to upgrade the amount of guards spawns. You will also be able to upgrade repair ability repairing buildings this also allows the restocking of guards.
Bases will also be able to upgrade auras, mana regen & life regen aura.
This is due the fact you have a lot of unused income late game.
-Unit experience system: units will get small boosts to their stats whenever they make a kill, this will stack 5 times. So people who keep their troops alive will be rewarded for this.
-Horde events:
Echo Isle:
This event can occur on 2 different ways.
Orcs can either kill soutshore, then a boat will appear leading to the echo ilse from soutshore. They will get improved Ranged units aka the darkspear beserker instead of their weak spearthrower.
They will also get a small shadow hunter spawn whom provide excellent support spells.
This also means vol'jin to be among the units. He wont be a caster but he will be a hardcore ranged unit.
Now if the orcs haven't gotten echo isle and they die, that will be their second chance. They will automatically ally the amani trolls, if they die for balance reasons.
Then a zepelin will appear and depending on what bases the trolls have left the path will lead to jin'talor or zul aman.
Tol Barad
Now if the warsong clan loses it spawns they will unally thrall and will ally the burning legion. They will turn into fel orcs with the shadow council on Tol barad and gain Jubeitos. Yes this isn't lorewise but its the only option available. If grom is allive you will lose him to the burning legion. Drek'tar will join the horde.
Stromgarde
Will play a major role in the version. Orcs can capture it to get insane strong orgres (limited spawn) or alliance can capture it gaining galen trollbane a strong hero with elite guards (that wont spawn you will have 6 but they are very good)
This depends on who captures it first.
Lesser notifications
Alterac will be scarlet when start dies.
Quel-thalas will be slightly changed.
Scourge will get a small nerf

TSoL_RoC_1
After a long time of inactivity I am picking up this project once more doing an overhaul.
Gameplay and units are redone completely, balancing the overpoweredness that was pointed out by the moderators.
-12 factions:
Spawn System: How Does it work?
You basicly upgrade your spawns in your Main Base (like in Lordaeron Tactics)
You can upgrade spawns 3 times.
First Spawn upgrades Tier 1 - 2 number of spawns + adds tier 3 units.
First Spawn upgrades Tier 3 number of spawns + adds tier 4 units.
First Spawn upgrades Tier 4 number of spawns + adds tier 5 units.
You wont spawn unless your food is below 100 (foodcap)
There are more units/heroes available through events.
Income System: How does it work?
Gold is used for upgrading spawns and the armor of your units.
It is also used for building towers on tower plots.
How to get gold? Simple capture tactical points, like gold mines farmlands & towns.
Lumber is gained over time.
My plan is to stay basic for now, and dont get the map too complicated yet, if there is enough demand I will increase the availability of construction.
Heroes
Heroes have high hit points to prevent one shot hero targeting.
But the downside their spells aren't "too" strong.
They can go till level 15 max, heroes will have items that suit their character.
E.G. Uther having the lightbringer as his hammer.
If they die, they stay dead unless with an Event
E.G. Arthas Dies, resurrected as a deathknight
What I am planning for the future
Masteries
Offensive
This will increase the damage of units (adding an other "dice" upgrade to the units)
This will also increase the damage and proc chance of offensive abilities.
E.G. Bash will have 3% more chance to occur & will deal 4 extra damage.
Defensive
This will increase the armor of all your units.
This wil also increase the effects of defensive abilities.
E.G. Parry of a footmen will have 3% more chance to occur & will block 3 additional damage
Utility
This will increase the mana regeneration of all your mana users.
This will also reduce cooldowns & duration of abilities.
E.G. Inner Fire cooldown will be 5 seconds instead of 7 & will last 10 seconds longer.
Unit Experience System
After each kill a unit upgrades its' stats whether depending on which type.
This effect stacks up 5 times.
Ranged Upgrades: Attack Speed, Attack Damage
Melee Upgrades: Health, Armor
Casters Upgrades: Mana, Mana Regen

Yeah i had to redo everything from scratch since i lost the map so it doesn't have much events yet.
The balance has been tested by clan hoar and myself and its very balanced, alliance is very team dependent so you have to work together to beat the scourge.
Most of the games alliance has the upperhand, while scourge is the underdog.

New version is up.
And you go to the dalaran sewers for the book.
I made it a risk map, not a hero map. I designed heroes to be a bonus, so they will keep having low dmg output.

i played it a couple of times with other people now i noticed a couple of things:
1.the orcs didnt get echo isles after taking south shore
2.dwarf hero doesnt have special items along with all the other heroes a player can get after any event (i dont know if this is on purpose but im just saying
3.the dreadlord heroes should have demonic damage type becuase the dreadlord nemesis does a lot more damage
4.the undead base near quelthalas is so easy to beat if the high elves didnt get completely destroyed after the undead player's first attack (i think its because of the base bad position since it hard just to send units there)
other than that great update just a couple of set backs

The flying dalaran is planned for futur version.
Is the multishot too op? I reckoned with warsong joing bl horde needs all the help they can get.
And yeah there is an issue with the spawn i noticed. Its mostly just one extra spawn. Ill get into it.

Yes multishot too op. Red can easily turtle against the entire alliance in echo isles because of the shadow hunters. They're just too much to handle, it's not exactly just the multishot but also the layout of echo isles. Perhaps if u re-terrain echo isles it may solve problem, and if it still persists the removal of multishot wud be a must.

The only thing I really don't like in this map is the teleporter, there is no clue if a teleporter is active or not, they should only be visible when they could be used.

Terrain:
Before i'll post some screenshots, some theory to explain where its coming from.
At the moment the map consists of bottleneck after choke after bottleneck.
Now this might be concidered as a tactical choice, but in my opinion it destroys the
posibility of micro and tactics. If you add some more open ground places full food army
fights will become alot more intresting because there is the option to micro. Also fights
which concists of more then 2 players (1v1) will have more room to fight. Its will also a be improvements for players who havent got the micro or are to lazy to micro because they will be blocking themselves and allies alot less, and thus annoy there beter allies less.
Even for the smaller armies larger battlefields have benifits. Example: Gray's army is rather small but very powerfull, with room to manouver you can find the stronger units (or the weaker, which ever you prefer) first and use micro to take an advantage over a swarming enemy.
Its important to note that i dont mean for all bottlenecks to be removed, because if bottlenecks can ofcourse also be very effectively in defence where is needed. I personaly think a bottleneck in the base, one or two somewhere close by and one or two in forward positions are needed. For defence and defencive offence.
I also strongely recommend increasing collision size on all units, to make blocking, surrounding and tactical movement more effective. An argument against would be that it creates 'Hero Aiming', in my opinion Heros are decent tanks and this should give you free kills because your units can kill his units. Further more you can also shield your heros easier if you got a large collision size.
I also suggest to add some more 'neutral ground' between player their bases. If bases are right besides eachother that mean the person who defends will always have the advantage, by either towers or the regeneration. Ofcourse with this neutral ground players can still choose to just sit and turtle in their base. But if they have two bases who are connected by the neutral ground, they will be giving away one of their bases to be raided. In this set up you will encourage players to keep the neutral ground to keep their bases safe.
Heros and units:
General:
I really like the unit rank idea, but it might be a bit to strong. I've already told you ingame but i'll just repeat myself here; In battles archers mostely survive the battle and make the kills, meaning that they get all the rank bonuses. With the current system that means they get loads of HP and more damage and virtualy become unkillable with anything less than a 30 food battle advantage.

Its important to note that i dont mean for all bottlenecks to be removed, because if bottlenecks can ofcourse also be very effectively in defence where is needed. I personaly think a bottleneck in the base, one or two somewhere close by and one or two in forward positions are needed. For defence and defencive offence.
I also strongely recommend increasing collision size on all units, to make blocking, surrounding and tactical movement more effective. An argument against would be that it creates 'Hero Aiming', in my opinion Heros are decent tanks and this should give you free kills because your units can kill his units. Further more you can also shield your heros easier if you got a large collision size.
I also suggest to add some more 'neutral ground' between player their bases. If bases are right besides eachother that mean the person who defends will always have the advantage, by either towers or the regeneration. Ofcourse with this neutral ground players can still choose to just sit and turtle in their base. But if they have two bases who are connected by the neutral ground, they will be giving away one of their bases to be raided. In this set up you will encourage players to keep the neutral ground to keep their bases safe.
Heros and units:
General:
I really like the unit rank idea, but it might be a bit to strong. I've already told you ingame but i'll just repeat myself here; In battles archers mostely survive the battle and make the kills, meaning that they get all the rank bonuses. With the current system that means they get loads of HP and more damage and virtualy become unkillable with anything less than a 30 food battle advantage.

as HQ posted, remove a couple of chokes but keep the vital ones.
but a game is about attacking, and defending only when needed.

I like that map ,it is very good. The skins and models are awesome. Where did you get the skin of Jaina and the model for the Silverhand Paladin. but where do i train units and how do i get team?
I suggest to increase the HPs of the units because i thinks it is a bit low (especially the Orc's, and raiders die too quickly. ).
I rate that map 5/5 and +rep.

Unit hp increases with every armor upgrade so its rather high.
You spawn units, you don't train them. You increase spawn in your main buildings like Tyrshand, Lights Hope chappel etc.
You dont get teams, they are locked from the start and are changed only by events.
I got the jaina skin here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ome-blp-139417/?prev=search=jaina&d=list&r=20
Glad you like the map.

You unlock them with masteries, but masteries are disabled at this point due it making the game imbalanced. We will add them as soon they are balanced.
Thanks for your feedback

And Arthas_King you can add me Cr33d[HoA] on north or east.
And yeah I find the imbalances needed as well to a certain point.
+ with all the second bases balance can easily be turned around.
