Vampire Clan Wars 1.1

[Desktop_General]

Still working on the new version? I'm still looking forward to it, and I know lots of players will try it out.

 

[-Kobas-]

I fixed many things, but a lot of triggers needed to be recreated from start, I cleaned all memory leaks and fixed some doodads that should reduce game lag a lot! Defeat conditions are changed as well, you need to stay alive until end now! But still there are fee bugs and things that look bad, I have time now so I am working on it and 1 new project, maybe will be uploaded today, will see!

EDIT:

Here, I updated map!
You must know that map wasn't tested after optimization so please report any string errors (textual messages and shitz)
Also I was to lazy to fix creep respawn system, there is around 100 trigger actions in form of if then else so I was like wtf now with this!
Still it will be, must be fixed to reduce epic lag created with it in time!

Also another sad thing is user interface, because it was in form of txt file imported inside map it was deleted (dunno how >.>) so I created that part from start -.-

Spells are fixed and optimized, feast should work epic now...

Well just report errors and they will be fixed for sure!

Thanks for playing my map once again!

First Impressions

Wow! For you to have created this map in 35 hours is amazing. I wish I could work that quickly. I have put way more time into my map and haven't completed very much at all. I'm very impressed with your skills.

I played solo right away so I could see what the new map was like. Here are my initial impressions:

There is still a major problem with the map right now (which should be very easy to fix) : you can use a merchant to bribe or convert elite warriors and vampire hunters. I'm sure it's fine to let them bribe or convert lesser units, but these 2 units are extremely powerful.

Vampire Hunter:
health 7500
attack rating 750-751
defense 250

Elite Warrior:
health 4000
attack rating 250-300
defense 250

If you allow the player to bribe these units he can complete these quests very easily: "Kill Vampire Hunter" (reward: 50 skill points (that's huge!) and burning spear (+200 dmg, +10 all stats, 25 immolation)) and "Kill Elite Guard" (reward: 30 skill points (still huge!) and guardian orb (not very powerful)).

If you allow the player to covert those units, he can easily destroy the other players. That is "breaking" your game. Keep in mind it is very easy to get the merchant unit and research the skill levels necessary to do these things. Also, he could then easily do the quest "Kill Ancient Hydra" (reward: 40 skill points and ancient rune (10% chance per attack to gain 50% attack speed and 20% move speed for 3 seconds). For now, this makes it a race to get a merchant and acquire those units. Most players won't even know those units exist, where to find them, or even how critical they are. This will discourage new players who are beaten very easily.

Broken Economy Quests:
#2 "Buy 10 Blood Potions": I bought 10 blood potions and didn't get the reward. Just to make sure it's broken, I bought a couple more, and I bought 11 of the other 2 types of potions. (This didn't work before.)
#5 "Research Level 5 Father Skill": It's not possible to research father skill now. The button is missing. (This used to work.)
#10 "Gain 10 Merchant Scrolls": It's not possible to gain more than 1. After you get the first one, it won't let you get more. (This didn't work before.)

Regarding the "Train 5 Elite Warriors" quest, you may wish to make it clearer which unit is the elite warrior. (As Ventrue I completed the quest by training 5 of my most expensive unit: Possessed Guard.) Also, I think you have to actually HAVE 5 of them. I was low on food, trained 3, killed 2, and trained 2 more. I didn't get credit for that. I only got credit when I had 5.

You burn now even if you're on blighted ground (owned by other people) unless you're at your own base.

I like the map very much, and just making it so vampire hunters and elite guards can't be bribed or converted will make it way more fun and challenging. Thank you very much for creating this map and all the work you have put into it. I look forward to playing it more.

Oh yeah and feast works really well now. With increased stamina you can start fighting the guards pretty early. It makes you feel more powerful to be able to fight these early threats.

 

[-Kobas-]

Well 35 hours will be more like 1 month each day 1 hour or so

Ok then, I will fix those leaks right away!

EDIT:

Ok dude I fixed few things for you, now should work fine!
Still that potion problems looks so funny because triggers are same as in first version and there it worked, I never changed that part actually, so dunno what is wrong about it.
I have idea how to fix it ofc but I will need more time and free time, so far main problems are done!


Fixed Stuff

1. Father Strength
2. Bribe
3. Convert
4. Water (Pathing Ground)
5. Game Interface messages

Added Stuff

1. Extra Fog (Swamp area)

 

[Desktop_General]

I was still able to use merchants to bribe vampire killers and elite guards (to get quest credit) and I was able to convert them as well. The other players didn't have a chance. I know it will probably be awhile before you get more time to work on the map.

 

[-Kobas-]

FU I uploaded wrong version -.-
Sorry dude, here I just re updated map as this version -.-

Sorry this was so unprofessional

 

[Desktop_General]

Really? Cool. That means I can try a new version. That's awesome. No need to apologize. Thanks for being polite, but anything you create is a gift to the community. You don't owe us anything. I'm thrilled that you're making stuff for us! Thanks for being so nice to your fans.

 

[-Kobas-]

Well honestly I don't have time to play my games so if I can spare some free time to make game better for you why not!

The map was pretty fun to play though waiting for the sun to set can be a bit frustrating. Terrains is good! However there are lots of bugs and some minor tinkering to be done. Frenzy sometimes doesn't stop when "blood" levels are restored. You can also chance the icon for the tool tip of "wood" as it is shown in the lumber counter bar (upper right screen). And you can add some more trees for harvesting. Overall 4/5 cause it needs bugs to be fixed. Will replay it soon.

I created them myself, I used blizzard ones like Unholy Strength or Advanced Moon Armor to create them!

Thanks!

so many vampirism games but this one is nice!

 

[HKO2006]

I test your map twice. One solo and one bn.

1. No reward after buying 10 Blood Potions.
2. No father Skill...
3. After killing the vampire hunter, I can't pick the spear up! I can't select it whit a single click. (I killed him in front of the castle)
4. Who are "Elite Warriors"? (Maybe the most expensive one?)
5. Experienced error when I was playing on bn.
6. Sunlight is too weak when I got some levels and good items like Enchanted Mask, Enchanted Magic book etc.

Because I lost map long time ago I can't make any further progress on this.
SotP will soon become stable and I will have some time.
I will deprotect this map, rewrite whole script, fix all bugs related to gameplay and dramatically improve terrain

Dunno when will I start working on this but, expect some news in next few weeks when exams finish and when I see how much free PC time I have.

 

[-Kobas-]

Here you go guys, I was searching for resources all around net.
Empty map with just all resources imported take 3.7 MB.
Final version should not be larger than 5 MB.
As soon as exams finish I will start working on it.

This was such a nice map too.
