Premise
  • Do you like Diablo?
  • Do you like games with a high skill cap?
  • Do you like MOBAs, but want a cooperative game to play with friends sometimes?
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, this game is for you!

In 30XXX, a crack commando unit was betrayed by a deranged leader out for power. They found the truth and got their revenge, only to be branded as renegades. Today, still wanted by the Imperium, they survive as soldiers of fortune. Mongoose City is beset by the undead, demons, Chaos-tainted soldiers, and all manner of mutants. Their people need help, and the Imperium isn't coming. It's up to you to get in there, wipe out the freaks, save the civilians, and do it in style.


Features
  • Physics system: Aim, dodge and reflect grenades, rockets, bouncing plasma bolts, and more!
  • Revive system: Get knocked out? Your teammates and your own stubborn spirit can bring you back.
  • Save/Load: Save your rank and access up to 26 innate abilities in future games.
  • Director System: Difficulty adjusts for the number of players in game, their status, and current score.
  • Active Environment: Commandeer local resources, like hospitals, tanks, and orbital cannons.
  • NPC AI and Command System: NPCs act intelligently so you can focus on your hero.
  • Quests: Assist various civilians and military NPCs for rewards, bring them with you to bolster your strength, or use them as bait: it's up to you!
  • Game Length: 15-30 minutes per run; 20+ hours for all gameplay

Changelog

Game
Changed the default game mode to Survival.

The level of the starting NPC allies equals the game difficulty.

New quest: Save Civilians. You have 5 minutes to rescue at least 30 Civilians. They'll continually spawn in the city while the quest is active. Completing the quest grants an extra level to all heroes and unlocks the next quest (Assist Convoy/Officer).

More quests to come...

Successfully completing the Convoy assistance or Imperial Officer Assistance quests will now prevent them from recurring later in the game. If you fail, you'll get a new officer or convoy quest after some time.

Added quest info for each quest and feedback on completing or failing the quests.

Added custom lobby music. Credit Bianca Ban.

Supply drop pings are now white, to differentiate from allied NPC spawn pings.


NPCs
Heavy Plating on tanks and vehicles no longer applies to melee attacks.

Changelog

Game
Major optimizations to the projectile system such that it should allow many more projectiles at once without frame lag. (Thanks to those in JASS Benchmarking Results and About Movement).


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the new item auto-pickup system would stop applying to your hero after death.



Changelog

Heroes
Demolitions
Removed knockback from RPG until its bug can be fixed.

Various minor optimizations. Major optimizations to come with the projectile system.

Reworked item auto-pickup to use https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/item-pickup-v-4-0-1-vjass-v-1-0-jass.244610/ for improved performance.

Reduced max Food of reinforcements to 15 from 30.

When dodging AoE effects, a randomly chosen NPC will do floating text:
"Look out!"
"Incoming!"
"Get back!"

The game now automatically tries to -save for all players on defeat and victory instead of telling them to -save.


New location-based events:
Fabricator: Pick up a Firmware Upgrade, bring it to the Fabricator, stand on circle of power for 1 minute.
On quest complete:
+250,000 points
Rename Fabricator to Fabricator++

New model for Scout: Advanced Ghost - Adwanced Ghost

New model for EMP nova: Cyclon Explosion

Heroes start with one fewer starting item.

New model for Immortals: Tormentor

Minion spawning speed timers reset to Slow upon finishing a wave or defeating a megaboss.

Fixed a bug causing megaboss respawning to stop at Erinyes.

A ricochet sound now plays on enemies whose damage reduction reduces your attacks to 25 damage or less.

Game
Merchants now have floating text before you first get to them, and they also now give feedback upon buying/selling.

Adjusted physics system to move projectiles every 0.03 seconds from every 0.02 seconds; made other optimizations. More to come.

The reward for rescuing 10 Civilians is now capped at 1,000,000 points (base).

Re-added a loading screen. Credit Blizzard Entertainment ( https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...V_Cncpt.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20151120022206)

Tweaked ping colors and text colors for events to make it clearer what's what:
Yellow = escort (Imperial Officer, Convoy, etc.)
Blue = location (Satellite Data item, News Station, etc.)
Green = general (Civilian and allied soldier spawns)
Orange = super weapon (Orbital Cannon Designator, Nuke Launcher, etc.)

Fixed a bug where pings for satellite data would instead ping a random item drop location.

The first time you pick up an upgrade, floating text will tell you what it does.

Fixed some bugs with sound caused by recent WC3 patches changing the sound codec. See Warcraft III - Patch 1.30.1 for more info.

Soldiers that spawn in support of a Convoy or Imperial Officer can't be controlled until the Convoy or Officer dies.

If Fattie Supreme is alive for more than 2 minutes, an Orbital Cannon Designator will spawn.




Buildings
Implemented Sniper and Rocket turrets for Fabricator.

Game
When you load a sufficiently high score, you'll get a "Leadership Commands" unit that can use in-game commands like -follow and -callcivs via hotkey instead of text input.
-follow and -callcivs now display floating text by the calling hero.

When players leave the game, their hero drops their acquired upgrades.

Added a sound effect to certain in-game notifications/dialogue.

Increased the timer for enemies to not spawn following a player death from 15 to 20 seconds (max 60).

On mission end, all Spawning Pits, Pit-Born, and normal enemies are removed from the game to minimize lag.

The first event will trigger no more than 2 minutes after waves begin, and it will always be an event with potential to grant lots of points (rather than strong reinforcements with little to no point gain potential via Civilians or quests).

For every 10 Civilians you save, the next allied event timer is reduced by 30 seconds.

There's now a Location-based event that fires after completing an Officer or Convoy quest:

News station:
Drop a data pad item, ping it for 2 minutes or until it's picked up.
Player has to bring data pad to News Station, stand on circle of power for 1 minute. Use its channeling ability to double the speed.
Spawn enemies nearby at 30 seconds left and 15 seconds left.

Regenerators now have a purple tint, now slower than Zombies, have a higher HP total, and spawn 2/3 corpse worms on death.

Corrupted Civilians now have a purple tint (to indicate they spawn stuff on death).

Player Light Blue's gold equals spawned drone count for diagnostic purposes.

Chaos Sappers no longer spawn from the Minion spawn table. Instead, they spawn as a squad via event more frequently.

Spawning Pits now spawn every 500,000 points from 200,000.

Max Spawning Pits capped at 10 at a time.

Increased point value of Spawning Pits from 2,500 to 5,000.

The mandatory Daemon squad now spawns lat 3,500,000 points.

Removed Avatar from the lifestealer; instead it now has Lunger Frenzy and Jump Pack instead. Gather Lungers and Pit-born Lungers to Lifestealer

Re-standardized enemy unit levels by point value:
0 pts = lv0
50 pts = lv1
100 pts = lv3
200 pts = lv4
300 pts = lv5
400 pts = lv6
500 pts = lv7
Miniboss = lv10
Spawning pit = lv13
Boss = lv15

Reduced the increase in enemy food cap while Moonstones are active.

Apparition's AoE zone of pain now has a target indicator before it fires so you can dodge it.

Spawning Pits now spawn 1 enemy at a time from 2.

Spawning Pit energy regeneration reduced from 20 to 10.

Reduced Pit-Born enemy cap on Spawning Pits to spawn Horrors (Giant Bats) from 25 to 12.

Enemy spawning will be reduced for 30 seconds following the start of a Convoy, Imperial Officer, or Refugee event so players have some breathing room to reach them.

Enemy events (zombie swarm, special enemy swarm, etc.) now have their clocks reset upon each wave starting instead of being purely periodic.

Wedjat will now only cast his death ball if the game difficulty is 7 or higher.

Fixed a bug that caused Boss spawning to not be limited by the current score.

Spawning pit auras now gain levels with expanding AoEs per minute; max AoE 3,000.

Slow Minion spawning time interval raised from 5 to 10 seconds.
Minion spawning timer gets reset to slow mode when an event fires.

Damage Upgrades increase damage by 6 from 12.

Erinyes is now the 4th Megaboss.

Minibosses and bosses gather Minions of the same type when they spawn. So when Arrear spawns, it gathers Chiloniaxes not near any heroes.

Bosses are always owned by Player 11 (Dark Green) now.

Minion and Miniboss spawning now alternates between Players 11 and 12 instead of being randomized.

More tweaks to enemy food caps by type (Minion, Miniboss, Boss).

Tweaks to the Minion table.

Fixed a typo on Personal Shield on Projectile's color text formatting


Enemies
Enemy damage block now falls under one ability, which increases with level as difficulty goes up. Different enemies have different starting levels for their level of damage block. The main intent here is to not have hero abilities be obsolete vs. certain enemy types late in the game.

Make damage block min dmg. 10 for lvs. 1, 2, and 3. Min dmg 5 for all other levels.

Gave Rabisu Demonic Summon.

Daemons now have damage block instead of evasion. You'll have to dodge their silence attempts and nail them with an ability to take them down. Or use special Rounds (Explosive Rounds, Tesla Cannon, ELF Mod, Flare Rounds, etc.). Or shred their armor (base 0). Or get massive damage boosts. Or engage with a melee hero (ignores damage block). Or engage with mechanical units (tanks, Heavy Weapons in mechanical mode), etc.

Erinyes now has damage block instead of evasion as well.

Implemented AI for units with Demonic Summon and short range Demonic Summon. Every 8 seconds, units with short range Demonic Summon will attempt to summon a random enemy hero within 3000 range.

Floating text sizes for points from kills now scale at half the previous rate.


NPCs
Reduced the number of allied soldier NPCs at the start of the game from 20 to 12.

For every 10 Civilians you rescue, the bonus base is now 250,000 from 50,000.

Periodic Civilian spawns in the city now changed to occur at the start of each wave, and with 13 Civilians instead of 10.

There are no longer 20 Civilians that spawn in the city at the start of the game. You'll have to rescue the initial set and then rescue Civilians that spawn from rescuing those.

There's now a ping and notification when Civilians spawn in the city area when waves end or when you rescue 10 Civilians.

The first time you rescue 10 Civilians, if Hints are on, the camera will pan to the location of the Civilians that spawned from the rescue.


Enemies
Minibosses now spawn every 50k points from every 30k.

Bosses now spawn every 250k points from every 125k.

Bosses now give a base 10,000 points from 2,000.

Tweaked thresholds for spawning minibosses and bosses such that they'll spawn more regularly, except when megabosses are out.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug preventing Imperial NCOs from automatically learning their Power Fist ability.




Game
The first spawn phase is now fast instead of slow for 60 seconds.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused Megabosses to only drop 1 upgrade on death instead of the intended 10-60 upgrades.

Fixed a bug that prevented Aosoth from spawning.




Game
During hero picking, the camera will stay focused on the helicopter and you'll auto-select the helicopter until you pick a hero.

Friendly events occur about half as often now.

Merchants now only appear in the pre-deployment room if you load a code with rank 17 or higher (previously any code would do it).

Tweaked some terrain in the lower center of the base.


Enemies
Rainshield Sapper range reduced from 1000 to 950.

Rainshield Sniper range reduced from 1500 to 1200.

Rainshield Sniper (hard) range reduced from 2700 to 1800.

At 1,500,000 points, one Daemon will spawn per player. This is mainly to prepare the players for Erinyes' clouds.


Bug Fixes
Enemies now properly increase their acquisition range over time. This should improve the consistency of pacing in the game quite a bit.

Erinyes' new AI now fires silencing clouds properly.

Fixed a bug that would prevent NPC soldiers from spawning if you picked your hero and deployed ASAP.

Fixed a graphical bug for the Fabricator.

Tweaked a few item tooltips to prevent truncation.




Buildings
If you right-click a building while in its corresponding Circle of Power, you'll automatically transfer energy to it.


NPCs
Capped the number of NPC infantry that spawn at the end of each wave, but later in the game they'll spawn at a higher level. This is intended to prevent performance issues.


Enemies
Daemon's Cloud spell now has a 2-second delay, and a graphic indicating where it will land so you can dodge it.

Daemon's Cloud spell now has a 2-second delay, and a graphic indicating where it will land. However, it also now fires upon up to 5 enemies within 351-1200 range at a time.

Improvements/bug fixes to Defiler AI.

Fixed a bug preventing the "Fuel Empty" message from appearing while trying to move a vehicle that's out of Energy.

More attempts at fixing bugs with rezzing in multiplayer following desyncs.




Enemies
Significantly reduced the distance-based damage bonus for enemy charged shots. For players, landing a long range shot is hard, but for the computer, not so much, especially for shots that come from off-screen.

Tweaked enemy caps and spawn rates some more. This should help with pacing/difficulty and performance issues later in the game. More tweaks to come, most likely.

Gave Dreadlords a short-range (1200) version of Gaap Thamuz's Demonic Summon, though they may not use it yet.


Megabosses no longer grant shared vision in Nightmare Mode.


NPCs
Reduced the number of NPCs (mainly tanks and other mech units) that spawn per wave ending and per event.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug with the Spawning Pit Move Speed aura that allowed it to affect enemy projectiles. Resulted in weird projectile speed curves.

Fixed a bug that caused all the Top Score units to become owned by player 12.




Enemies
Imposed a max food count for enemies even when Moonstones are active.

Switched slow spawn phase count back to 5 from 4 second intervals.

Switched normal spawn phase back to 3 from 2 second intervals.


Game
When a player dies, their individual streak is reset (so they can't keep a GODLIKE going after death).


Heroes
Demolitions: Burst Rockets stun duration increased from 2/4 to 3/6.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug (hopefully) with Nightsong Summon and other global rezzes that would sometimes put a player in the Top Scores area, and if it *still* happens, there's a hint on the -unstuck command so you can get back into the game.




Bug Fixes
The new spirit revive sometimes resulted in rezzed heroes landing in the repick spot. That should be fixed now.

Fixed merchants changing their wares every 15 seconds.


Vehicles
You'll get a floating text message when vehicle fuel is low, and when the vehicle is empty.



Heroes
Sniper is now a rank-required class.

Added the rank name for the rank requirements for innates and heroes (Sergeant, Corporal, etc.).


Game
Reduced the floating text size on wave complete from 20 to 14.

Merchant's wares now update upon each wave completion instead of every 5 minutes.


Enemies
Megabosses now drop more upgrades on death, and the drop placement has been tweaked.

Enemy acquisition range now only changes when a hero attacks the enemy.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug with the new Spirit Revive and Salvation that caused hero death tracking to mess up and trigger early Total Party Kills.




Heroes
Desyncs are more rampant due to bugs in the recent WC3 patches, plus desyncs from old widgetized maps. These desyncs result in single-target rezzes breaking. As a workaround, Stubborn Spirit rezzes (from full energy) now rez the whole team.

Repick timer reduced to 60 seconds from 90 seconds.

Heroes now start with just 1 skill point from 5 skill points.

The team no longer levels up to lv10 upon rescuing their first 10 Civilians. Instead, if you load a code, you start at lv10 with 10 skill points.

Hero skills now have a level skip requirement:
Lv1 = 1
Lv2 = 4
Lv3 = 7
Lv4 = 10
Lv5 = 13
Ultimate Lv2 = 12

There's an Engineer ability that causes desyncs. As a temporary workaround, that class now requires nearly max rank to play. If anyone wants to help test which Engineer ability is causing the desyncs, I'll be really grateful (and fix the issue within a few days most likely).

Other classes now have a rank requirement: Drop Trooper, Heavy Weapons, Sciops, Squad Leader, Vanguard. You won't need more than 3,000,000 points to unlock them all.


Buildings
Added a new sentry model: Radar Tower by Mr. Bob.


Events
Removed Half Time in Mercenaries Mode.


Items
Removed the Det Pack from the starting area. If you want one, use the Fabricator, or scavenge a few hidden ones in the City.


Enemies
Some minor AI optimizations.

Decreased volume on all miniboss spawn sounds to 90.
Decreased volume on all boss spawn sounds to 110.




General
Re-branded the game. The new title is more clear about what the game is about, and it's more effective in getting random battle.net players to join, based on observations from running a hosting bot.


Vehicles
Fixed Purger Tank's AoE damage on normal attacks not working.
Added Flame Spray ability. It functions like a lv. 5 Squad Leader flamethrower.


Enemies
All enemy summons (like, when they try to summon YOU) now have a 3 second channel time before the summon occurs. If you're more than 1800 range away when the channeling finishes, the summoning fails.

All summoning enemies have an aura to indicate they can summon.

Tweaked normal enemy spawn times to be a bit faster.

Tweaked messages for zombie swarms and special swarms.


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused Player 11 to have 160 food until facing Aosoth...this bugfix should impact the pacing of the game quite a bit, as this affected what kinds of normal enemies spawned. Hopefully it'll just improve it, but it might be a bit too hard now. More tweaks to come there, probably.




Vehicles
Tank: Increased max Energy from 300 to 500.
Purger: Increased max Energy from 1000 to 2000.
Light Tank: Increased max Energy from 500 to 1000.


Allies
Howitzer max Energy increased from 500 to 2000.

Added a Fabricator building that can exchange energy for consumable items:
  • Barricade
  • MG Turret
  • Flamer Turret
  • Sentry
  • Energy Generator
  • Adrenaline Injection
  • Det Pack
Tweaked timing of floating text for interactive buildings.


Items
When placing a Det Pack, there's a red aura that flashes to indicate its AoE to everyone.


Enemies
Chaos Rift auras get added over time instead of all at once. There's also a message each time the aura gets added, and the model size of the Chaos Rift increases each time.


Endings
Tweaked ending messages.

The Best ending now checks for whether you've defeated each Megaboss at least once.





Enemies
Chaos Rift now spawns at 10,000,000 points from 9,000,000.
Chaos Rift's location gets pinged for 60 seconds from 10.

Increased upgrade drops from Megabosses.

Decreased Medpack/Recovery Pack drop rate from normal enemies and minibosses.

More Zombies will spawn instead of Corrupted Civilians.


Bug Fixes
Fixed some issues causing frame lag later in the game, particularly with lots of units that fire physics-based projectiles.




Game
Tweaked the point thresholds for the endings.
Worst: 0-1,500,000 points
Bad: 1,500,001 - 2,999,999
Okay: 3,000,000 - 5,999,999
Good: 6,000,000 - 9,999,999
Best: 10,000,000+

Tweaked ending hints.

The Worst, Bad, and Good endings spawn Erinyes, Big Momma's Revenge, Defiler, and Aosoth if they haven't been faced yet.

Added Light Tank to Vehicle Bay.

Placed arrow shop marker doodads above all interactive buildings.


Bug Fixes
Fixed auto-rez not working.




Heroes
When a stubborn spirit has max mana, it auto-rezzes its hero immediately

There's now a Vehicle Bay in the upper right corner you can now interact with to get vehicles and vehicle keys. More vehicles to come.
Tank: as the ones that spawn on the map.
Purger Tank: Like the Tank, but an incinerator main gun, Flamethrower instead of Tank Shell, AMARDS, and 1000 Energy.


Enemies
Miniboss spawn interval changed from 75,000 points to 30,000
Boss spawn interval changed from 250,000 points to 125,000


Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused lag while Big Momma's House was attacked while having magic immunity active

Tweaked enemy awareness levels to reduce the incidence of enemies ADDing to go kill civilians while they're being shot at by players




City
There are now two shops in the cities, one selling offensive items and the other defensive items. They each only have 4 items in stock at a time, and their stock changes every 5 minutes.

Removed tanks from the city area.

Added another tank and energy generator in the west side of the outpost.

There will be some more special buildings like the Hospital, News Station, etc. in coming versions, including a vehicle garage.


Enemies
Reduced the cap on the number of Pit-Born enemies by half.
Doubled the HP, regen rate, and base damage of all Pit-Born units.


Bug Fixes
I spent a few hours troubleshooting the post-1.29 bug with Vexorian's optimizer that causes Neutral Passive to become Player 16, etc., to no avail. So until I need more map space, or a new map optimizer comes out that fixes those bugs, this map will be non-optimized.




Items
Medkit heals 150 HP per second for 4 seconds from 100 HP per second for 5 seconds.

Recovery Kits heal 150 HP and Energy/sec for 2 seconds from 100 HP/Energy per second for 3 seconds.

Fixed a bug where you couldn't pick up health/energy pickups if you had a full inventory


General
Reduced Civilian rescue timer from 5 to 3.


Classes
Scout
Heroes with Double Time! active passively fast rescue in a 300 AoE.




Items
Added Recovery Kits to the game. They recover 100 Health/Energy per second for 3 seconds, and remove negative buffs on pickup.

Energy Cells no longer drop from killing enemies. When killing enemies and you need energy, Recovery Kits will drop instead of Medkits.

Medkit/Recovery Kit pickups that drop from slain enemies now have a slight offset to their spawn point so when multiples drop, they don't stack up.

NPCs
Tweaked starting SLAP/Sniper Team spawn points.




Heroes
Stubborn Spirits now have a 2-slot inventory, so they can transport items and pick up Energy Cells. If you pick up any stat upgrades, they'll transfer to your Hero.

On Stunned enemies, melee abilities now deal double knockback and damage.


Items
Medkits and Energy Cells now auto-pickup like stat boosts if the player is not at full health or energy, respectively.

Medkit now heals 100 HP/second for 5 seconds from 50 HP/second for 10 seconds.

Enemies now drop Medkits and Energy Cells randomly. Base chance is:
  • 0% per item for minions and spawning pits
  • 1% for normals
  • 5% for minibosses, per player
  • 10% for bosses, per player
  • 50% for megabosses, per player
So on a team of 6, a megaboss may drop up to 6 Medkits and 6 Energy Cells. The odds are increased based on player status (HP/energy lost, dead players).


General
Max movement speed of projectiles per interval reduced to 45 from 50, to prevent collision issues.

Players who -save for the first time (or otherwise didn't -load) now get a mini-tutorial on how saving and loading benefits them in future games.

Updated game message when you use the "display top scores" ability to point to the Hive Workshop page, etc.




1.38
Innate Abilities
Removed Combat Sword (R)

Moved Remote Mines from R to E

For classes with upgraded innates, they now only show on the ability selectors while playing as that class.

Each row of innate abilities requires more ranks for the next ability than the previous one:
Row 1 = 2 ranks
Row 2 = 3 ranks
Row 3 = 4 ranks


NPCs
Significantly improved -follow AI


Enemies
Minibosses spawn every 75,000 points from 25,000

Increased CAT, SLAP, and NCO acquisition to 900 from 675

1.37

Megabosses dropped 1 upgrade per level on death; now they drop (level + total megabosses killed) x 2.


1.36c
General
Imported UTN Medic and UTN Sniper Team by Cavman

Added command -AI #, where all NPCs within range use the "Hint (NPC)" ability to turn on their automatic AI to patrol the map, take high ground (for long range units), and assist with events.

NPCs affected by the -follow command will now periodically automatically follow your hero until they're subject to a different player's -follow command, or the -call command, or use of their AI activation ability. That way when they do things with their newfound smart AI, they'll go back to following you without needing tedious micro.


NPCs
Friendly NPCs now have basic AI routines to use their abilities and act somewhat intelligently most of the time

Close Assault Troopers now have Assault's Flamethrower, and will use it to reflect projectiles.

Police renamed to Sniper Team; Attack range now 1,800 from 1,000.

Note: APC Squish and APC Squish (Close) apply to all tanks, Reavers, Spawning Pits, Pit Lords, Big Momma's House, Big Momma's Revenge, and Defiler.

Imperial Officer (Orbital Cannon) now has Orbital Strike, so keeping him alive and leveling him is a more viable alternative to completing his quest

Imperial Officer (Aegis) now has Defense Matrix, same reasons

There's a new Imperial Officer (Bombard) that has an Artillery Barrage ability; when you complete his quest, you get an Aerial Bombardment Designator, designed to clear an entire sector (the map is divided into a 3x3 grid of sectors)

Ash: This game works on the premise that you just want to kill things, with little to no story behind it. It's a follow up of Nightsong Operatives, and uses the same systems, spells and items from it.

It gets hard pretty early on, and can leave new players with a 'wtf just happened?' feeling, although that said; the game only lasts 5 minutes without picking up time extensions.

Some classes are pretty useless, such as Assault, whilst others do masses of damage and have the most epic abilities known to man, with that said however, so do the bosses.

It wouldn't surprise me if people complain that they're too hard, one of them ate me. On top of that, it bugs the player. If you are eaten by him and don't get out, you won't be able to revive.

The map is fun to play as a side game in between more 'competitive' ones and provides for an interesting 30 minutes, well done.

4/5

In one word i can describe this map wich is wonderfull, really wonderfull,Its a real
MASTERPIECENo joke, a real masterpiece! Nightsong Operatives was great too but too buggy, this was fine. The ghost idea.. Adrenaline.. the heroes.. I LOVE THE SQUAD LEADER. Hes so .... Epic? Well keep doing some good work! If I would deep review this, then I would give nearly everywhere 3/3 (except balance theres 2/3), It's really graet, enjoyable, action is great, this game never gets boring, cause everytime a new horde of zombies appear.

Thanks Finallegacy! I'm going to be fixing up Nightsong Operatives in the coming weeks.

X-maul, were you using your hero abilities? Most of the bosses and minibosses you can't just go toe to toe with. You have to use your innate abilities (kick, sprint), as well as your hero abilities to do your best. Also, some classes are stronger/weaker vs certain enemies and bosses, so vs a miniboss like Abbadon (which creates the worms), if you're a class that lacks area effect damage abilities, you're going to be at a disadvantage.

Also, 98b has many changes/fixes, which you can see in the changelog -

That's really strange. I've never heard of such an issue in all my years of playing Warcraft III. And I haven't been able to find anything on that issue in Google so far. Nor have I found you talking about it in any of your other posts here. So I'm not sure what I can do about that problem yet. If I find more information I'll see what I can do.

Did you still get that problem after hosting the 2.65 MB version?

This is a great map, even tough you have not got a lot of custom models, it doesn't irritate me like in other maps. The terrain is simple but realistic. And having a difficulty for every amount of players that can be playing, is fantastic as well. This really is a great and original map.

Click to expand...
I've been out of town for the past two weeks but I'll get to work on resolving the issues with the 1.24 patch this week. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

If you and some friends are itching to play before then, you can use Garena and play using Warcraft III with a version earlier than 1.24, with superior net code compared to battle.net.

EDIT: Version 1.07 is out. It's compatible with patch 1.24.

This is one of the best, most fun maps I have ever played.

Wicked update too. The drop trooper's friggin awesome, but it's really hard to pick out the best items for him.

Just one thing. I was playing single-player, and the refugee waves started coming from the north. My "base" was set up in the cliff area to the left near their spawn point, so I was able to rescue just about every one of them.

Then, about 10 minutes later, I got raped by about a hundred pit-born and at least ten bosses. The sudden score influx is kind of a game breaker.

Still got 600k points, though. :wink:

Please Note

This map review set-up is based on that created and used by Tank Commander,

I review maps that look interesting or promising. If you wish for me to review your map, or if notable changes have occured to a map I have already reviewed, then you may message me with a link to your map and I will review it within the next week.

Review Breakdown

(5 marks) - Terraining/Environment
(5 marks) - Triggering
(15 marks) - Gameplay
(10 marks) - Innovation/Originality
(5 marks) - Interface/Object Editor Work
Mark System

1-7 marks = (1) Poor quality map, unfit for the Hive (usually a beginners map)

8-14 marks = (2) The beginnings of a map are there, but it still needs work and is likely unfinished.

15-21 marks = (3) An adequate map, is fun for a game or two and functions.

22-28 marks = (4) Shows promise and has some interesting features; playability is high.

29-35 marks = (5) A fine example of Hive-quality; will keep you entertained for several games at least and updates are looked forward to.

35+ marks = (6) A simply brilliant warcraft map. Features are flawlessly implemented, code is legit, game is fun, and the constraints of
Warcraft 3 are challenged.
Subsection Review

Terraining (1/5) - Environment is plain and uninteresting and little object manipulation is present, but its acceptable I guess...

Triggering (N/A) - Map is protected, thus this section will be discounted.

Gameplay (10/15) - You blow monsters to bits with an assortment of different light and heavy weaponry. While this is awsome for the first block of time you play it, anything past that the game is just boring and uninteresting. No attempt is made to focus on any other aspect of gameplay besides slice n' dice. Although, there are a plethora of custom triggered-abilities and the effects are fairly epic. The idea behind this map was to create an arcade-like shoot-em'-up and it did just that.

EDIT - Side-missions, boss fights, and civilian rescues do add a significant edge to gameplay. These things coupled with the eye-candy-filled custom triggered abilities and great hero models earn this a much higher score than I originally marked.

Innovation/Originality (7/10) - Apocolyptic monster/zombie invasion-type map. Not entirely original but you had your own storyline, cinematics, etc.

Interface/Object Editor Work (2/5) - No loading screen. Many passive abilities do not have passive icons. Some auto-cast abilities have proper auto-cast icons whilst others do not.
Errors and Suggestions

- Improve the environment with a better terraining job and more doodads
- Go over all your icons and make sure they fit the ability
- Add some thing else to gameplay (i.e. side-quests)
Final Review

Final Marking - (25/40)
Rating - (4)
Voted for - Approval
Rep Given? - No, still needs work

I appreciate you taking the time to do an in-depth review. I have a few concerns though.

You said "the environment is plain and uninteresting and little object manipulation is present".
Going by the object manager in the world editor, the map currently has 5622 doodads and 2081 destructibles. There are 8 imported models for doodads and 3 for destructibles. Some of these imported models have been re-tinted to fit the map. Many of the destructibles and doodads in the map have also been resized and/or re-tinted significantly. Could you please give an example of a map that does have an interesting environment, so I can know what to go by for meeting the criteria of sufficient "object manipulation" and having "interesting" terrain?


You also said "No attempt is made to focus on any other aspect of gameplay besides slice n' dice". If you played version 1.13 or higher, you should be aware of the randomized mini-quests that initiate every 5-10 minutes, which have you rescuing civilians, escorting a convoy, or protecting a VIP for a set period of time. Each event has substantial rewards for completion.

You should also be aware that saving civilians is a secondary theme of the map. The game starts with civilians you can rescue for points, and in Mercenaries mode there's an event where no new enemies spawn and lots of civilians appear to be rescued. In Survival mode, there's a lull every 7 minutes where no enemies spawn for a short time and civilians appear.

Those two elements taken together may not still be enough for you, but it seems like you may have missed out on them entirely based on what you've said.

That said, your criticism on the icons I understand completely and I'll address that as best I can in the next version. Thanks again for the review.

Even though I only review a small fraction of the maps submitted to the Hive, I still can't spend ages testing each map. Thus it is inevitable that I will misjudge a map.

After reading what you said concerning your gameplay score and my suggestions, I have re-played your map in more detail and do agree that I missed quite a bit. The civilians, boss fights, and mini-quests do add a sufficient "edge" to gameplay. I have subsequently raised my score for that category.

As far as the environment goes, the best example of object manipulation would be Cloudwolf's "Diablo 3 Warcraft" map. Naturally, one cannot expect every map to have his level of perfection and detail, but your map should atleast do more than simply have some raised and lowered terrain decorated with a few fires and rubble. I guess my main critique would be the lack of detail though. If you play Situ's "Magic Forest" map you'll notice he spams (though strategically) shrubs, flowers, custom effects, etc. Most of which the player barely notices but all together really helps immerse the player in the environment. Best example of this would be the section of your map that appears to be a destroyed city. Adding buildings/burning cars and such would not only really improve the terrain in this section but also positively effect player experience.

More of this here:

Lastly let me say thank you for being polite and constructive instead of flaming and I wish you luck on your future projects.

i found some things in the map that i would like fixed
for vanguard when you pick up strength runes they also go away in 20 secs
game doesnt become easier if there are leavers, you can only make it harder. Me and my friend were alone in a 6 player difficulty in the first 10 mins of game
sometimes if there are leavers game does not end... its fun but you might want to fix in case of people getting on your high score list
i love the map though!

It might be a bit confusing but after the first 7 minutes in Survival Mode, or the first 13 minutes in Mercenaries Mode, you get a break where enemies don't spawn. After that break ends, you can't make the game difficulty easier than the number of people playing plus the difficulty tacked on for a high score. And once that break is over, the game will take the difficulty to that level if it was any lower.

So let's say you have 6 people in game, you don't change the difficulty at all, and the difficulty goes to 7 due to your score. Someone leaves. The difficulty automatically goes to 6 (5 players in game + 1 for score). If you've gone past the first break, then that's as low as it will go. Trying to lower the difficulty further will get you the "You can't make the game any easier..." message. If it's not to that point yet, you can lower the difficulty, but after your first break the difficulty will then set itself to a minimum of (# of players playing + difficulty from score).


Me and my friend were alone in a 6 player difficulty in the first 10 mins of game sometimes if there are leavers game does not end...

I'll need more information to fix this. What modes were you playing on, and what do you mean exactly by the "game does not end"? Were you playing Mercenaries mode and the timer went to 0:00 and nothing happened, or was it something else? If you have any replays showing this issue, please send them to me.

And thank you for the heads up on the Vanguard bug. It should be fixed in 1.16.

well i will post a replay for you if it happens again, and also in survival if the score goes over 1 mil then it goes back down and when you save it does not give you a new code... i have beaten my high of 978000 but it wont give me a code :( oh and also sometimes decimate stays on even if you turn it off... but it doesnt drain mana.. makes heavy weapons way more imba then it already is haha

Thanks for the replays! I'll check out them out and see what I can do. I also released 1.16 on Friday (though I forgot to upload it here). It fixed all the issues you brought up except for the end-of-game bug and the issue with saving codes in survival mode.


Edit: Alright, I checked out the replays and found the cause of the issue. I found that when the game difficulty was set to 1, and a player left the game, the game would think that the player hadn't left. This would lead to the game difficulty being higher than it should be, and it would also lead to Total Party Kills not being triggered.

So version 1.16a should fix all the issues you've found. The changelog has a full list of changes/fixes. Again I really appreciate that you took the time to let me know about those issues and provided replays. If anything else comes up, please let me know.

Yeah it seems like attacking ground with an orb effect item equipped causes the fatal. Going to change the Tank's attack type to Missile (Splash) to avoid that.

As for the strength bonus from cyborg implants, it was severely reduced in 1.16. It's +6/+13 from +15/+40. You sure it's not just that? I tried testing it out and couldn't find any problems at least.

So far I have played there was no bugs that i have encoutered,but the game needs an Agro meter so you know who is strongest fighter and with the most rage towards that player.
IDK how to do it but i have seen one already made into a map.
Overall I give this a solid 5/5

Hmm...well right now about 1/3 of all the enemies on the map will attack any player(s) currently holding a GODLIKE kill streak. Any GODLIKE players get a unique buff graphic overhead, so you'll know who they are even after the individual kill streak announcement. I could further develop how individual kill streaks factor into the game though, like progressively flashier kill streak indicator buffs and enemy AI changes, rather than only seeing a change at the final kill streak milestone.

Otherwise the game AI right now doesn't use aggro or rage for determining who to attack. It uses a combination of scripted unit-type seeking, reaction to being attacked/damaged, and lightly scripted WC3 patrol AI. It's the best solution so far for dealing with the combination of survival tools the players have at their disposal, particularly base building, splitting up/kiting, and stealth.
