~~Vampirism Nightmare~~

by Child_0f_Bodom & lnFlames


I took some time and tried to fix some flaws.



1. Introduction

Vampirism Nightmare is map created on basic Vampirism standards with lots of inovations. There are two teams in the map; the Human team and the Vampire team.

Humans have to run from the Vampires and build their bases to defend themselves from Vampire who's main objective is to kill all Human builders.

Once a Human is killed, he turns to Vampire and becomes an evil's servant. Maybe the largest change in this Vampirism Map are custom Human races and Vampires.

2. Terrain Characteristics:


Map in Vamprisim Nightmare is divided in three parts. First part in upper left corner is Vampire's limb (or Hell). It is a floating landmass in the Void where the Vampires start. There is one large complex in Hell which is called Citadel of Sorrows. In the Citadel, Vampires can heal at the Fountain or buy one of the many items and recipes available.

Second part, a bit East from Hell is Human picking region. There stands the ruined Citadel of Stars.

153325-albums2051-picture25393.jpg


Third part of the Map is the general Battle Field or the World. Humans may build their bases there at one of many base spots. Terrain theme in the World is a ruined Elder city. When exploring the city you will find some beautiful structures which make base spots even more exciting and different. We have managed to greatly increase terrain quality when compared to other Vampirisms because of using custom environment models and large scaled plants to make Ruined City look even more overgrown.

3. Gameplay Introduction


Just like in ordinary Vampirism games, Human team consists of 10 players and Vampire Team consists of 2 players. But, unlike the other Vampirism Maps, team work and role playing is very important for Human Team, as it is almost impossible to win when playing solo base.

This Vampirism has got great replayability value because of many custom races and Vampire classes. Each Human race and Vampire class plays its own role making numerous strategies and combinations. Each round should last about 25 - 45 minutes which is very different from other Vampirisms that last for more than 2 hours making the endgame monotonic and boring.

4. Humans


4.1. Introduction
[TD]
[TD][/TD]
Human players are able to choose one among many available races. When the race is chosen a builder will spawn for Human player. If the builder dies he will be turned into Vampire. Each builder has got blink ability with 1000 range which makes easier to escape from Vampires. Human Races are categorized by difficulty in 4 categories: Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard races.

Easy races are mostly similar to Humans from standard Vampirism Maps and are usually most suitable for the new players.

Medium races introduce some light weighted playing systems which may be good introduction to more difficult races.

Hard and Very Hard races are more difficult to play and involve complex playing systems but may prove stronger than normal races in the hands of the skilled players.

In Vampirism Nightmare there are no "weak" races, as someone may think when first playing this Map. Even the most skilled players may have difficulty when playing solo. This map has meant to be cooperative survival map and each player plays and important role in defending the World from Vampires.
[td][/td]
4.2. Structures and Heroes
Each Human race has its own set of structures available to build. We may put them in three categories; economy, defenes and infrastructure.

Economy structures usually are lumber mills which train workers who harvest wood and Gold Mines which provide a steady Gold Income.

Basic defensive structures are walls and towers. Walls are built on pinch points in Human Bases to prevent Vampires from entering the base. Towers damage Vampires and are built behind walls. Basically, towers must kill Vampires before they break through walls.

Infrastructure buildings provide enhancement for both economy and defense. Ordinary infrastructure buildings are Houses which provide food, Altars which train Heroes and Upgrade Centers which contain upgrades for your Race. Note that not all races are standard so structures may vary greatly.

Heroes in Vampirism Nightmare are called Slayers. Unique Slayers are trained from altars and are available to almost every race. They can increase their level in two ways. First is at idling at Slayer Training Area which is located at the north east and is marked by floating text.


153325-albums2051-picture25397.jpg


Level is given to every Slayer in Training Area once per 45 seconds. Wounded slayer can heal at the Slayer Fountain a bit east from Training Area. Second way to increase you slayer level are Tomes bought from Slayer's Vault (buildable structure). Slayers may also gain Levels from killing Vampires.

Every Slayer can learn 5 spells. First three are standard to all Slayers; Blink with infinite range, Attribute bonus(gives bonus stats) and Web (binds target to the ground rendering it unable to move). The other two spells are specific to each Slayer.
[TD][/TD] [td][/td]
4.3. Races

There are currently 23 custom races in Vampirism Nightmare. Roman, Goblin, Templar, Morphling, Geomancer, Mage, Bandit, Undead, Elemental Spirit, Nord, Firelord, Gnoll, Treefolk, Merchant, Dwarf, Draenei, Nerubian, Troll, Burning Legion, Elf, Bounty Hunter, Tauren and Naga. As the map is developed new Human Races will be added to the list.


153325-albums2051-picture25148.jpg
First race we ever made is Roman. Roman is balanced Human Race which has easy gameplay and no custom playing systems. It is recommended for new players who want to get used to this map.

153325-albums2051-picture25151.jpg
The next race is Goblin. Goblin builder does not have blink ability, but it is able to transform into flying Zeppelin form. He can repair at faster rate, but his walls are weaker than average ones. His towers have very strong damage, but slow refire rate. They have the strongest tower in game: Missile Silo which fires powerful projectiles at enormous range. Their workers cannot detonate themselves to prevent Vampire from feeding. Their Slayer has ability do detonate all player's workers in the map, but he requires higher level to learn it.

153325-albums2051-picture25154.jpg
Templar race uses strong walls which compensate weak damage towers. Their Slayer can Heal player's and allied buildings which makes him a powerful supporter to all players, not just his base. Templar can also train Priests who can heal units at very good rate.

153325-albums2051-picture25152.jpg
Morphling race is quite unique when it comes to spawning workers and building structures. Their "builder" actually can't build anything. He can only spawn harvesters which can build structures and gather lumber. Their walls have chance to banish themselves when attacked to prevent all physical damage done to them giving more time to towers to eliminate the threat. Morphling towers are very weak, but have chance on each attack to gain one of 4 following effect: Attack Speed Increase, Mana Burn, Slowing Attack and 3x Critical Strike.

153325-albums2051-picture25153.jpg
Geomancer race has got interesting gameplay and is part of many possible strategies. Their buildings have ability to burrow making them invisible to Vampire. Their workers do not require drop off point for harvested wood. Maybe the most interesting thing are their towers who gain damage bonus during the day and chance to stun during the night. Their builder is able to change time of the day to day or night, but at high Mana Cost.

153325-albums2051-picture25366.jpg
First Medium race we created is Mage. Mage has got towers which do minimal damage and cannot be upgraded. Instead of upgrading towers player inserts various damage increasing items in tower's inventory.

153325-albums2051-picture25367.jpg
Bandit race has got above average towers. Their workers cannot detonate, but can transform into Militia which can prove good in a fight against the Vampire.

153325-albums2051-picture25368.jpg
Undead race features its own tower system. Towers have low base damage, but have autocast ability that increases their damage. They don't regenerate mana, so you must sacrifice Shallow Graves for their mana. Undead walls are also capable of producing zombies and necromancers. Necromancers can raise zombies back in form of skeletons after they die.

153325-albums2051-picture25369.jpg
Elemental Spirit towers also use items, but they obtain them in the other way. They must sacrifice Spirits of Elements to gain elemental shards. Elemental shard doesn't do anything alone, but creates powerful effects in combinations. Another tower built by this race is Death Tower which provides significant damage output at very high range.

153325-albums2051-picture25370.jpg
Nord has got towers which steal mana on each hit. Mana stolen by tower can be transferred to walls which use it for casting powerful defensive spells.

153325-albums2051-picture25376.jpg
Firelord has got towers without any damage. They have 2 types of items to select: Volcanic Hammers and Volcanic Fire. Volcanic Hammer does extremely high damage, but must be casted manually while Volcanic Fire does reduced damage in exchange for auto firing. Their workers gather above average.

153325-albums2051-picture25381.jpg
Gnoll race is simmilar to mage, but it can customize not only towers, but also walls with items bought at their special shops.

153325-albums2051-picture25379.jpg
Treefolk race is the first hard race we made. They don't use towers as their defense but water elementals. They are the only race that can have 2 Slayers: one ordinary Slayer and one Hero Tower which increases their damage output significantly. They can also train support spellcasters: Druids which increase their combat stats a bit. To compensate high damage output, their walls are extremely weak.

153325-albums2051-picture25378.jpg
Merchant race has got 2 sources of lumber. First are ordinary workers and second are Caravans. Caravans travel between 2 Trading Posts, trading goods among them earning you lumber. Quantity of earned lumber increases with the distance between Trading Posts.

153325-albums2051-picture25377.jpg
Dwarf is the Hardest race in the Vampirism Nightmare. They have only 1 structure availible to build: Workshop. Workshop trains Slayer and Caravans which are used to steal gold from the Gold Mine in the Center of the Map. Their main objective is to level up and gear up their Slayer in Vampire Shops with stolen gold.

153325-albums2051-picture25380.jpg
Draenei are completely invisible race which can't do absolutely no damage. Their only purpose is to disable Vampires and Enchance damage done to them by your teammates.

153325-albums2051-picture25384.jpg
Nerubian are cheapest and fastest race to develop. Their towers can only attack targets that were previously marked by one of their units: builder, Slayer or Nerubian Queen.

153325-albums2051-picture25388.jpg
Troll is the race which uses battle stations in their towers (just like orc burrow), so when you play them you must always be careful and bring your workers in towers in time. Their slayer has ability to repair structures.

153325-albums2051-picture25386.jpg
Burning Legion is the race that uses Lumber Base for their lumber income. Lumber base can be upgraded several times to increase lumber income. They don't use a structure wall, but they use Hero Wall in form of their Slayer. You can buy Special Slayer Tomes at Charm Shop. Every Burning Legion building needs energy to operate, so you have to build pylon near each structure in order to enable it. Their towers can summon Nether Drakes as powerful additions to your defenses.

153325-albums2051-picture25389.jpg
Elves use unique walling system which consists of 3 structures: Walls, Power Plants and Shield Generators. Their walls have only 50 health, but increase mana with every upgrade. Basicaly, Shield Generator, when activated, gives mana shield to nearby buildings. Power Plants decrease mana cost of Shield casted by Shield Generator. Their damage output consists of Archers which gain bonuses while standing near activated Shield. They also have an unique Slayer which is the only flying Slayer in the Map.

153325-albums2051-picture25383.jpg
Bounty Hunter race doesn't use Slayer nor Towers as their damage output. It focuses on their builder which has ability to temporarily transform into powerful combat form. They have more than 15 abilities to apply to their builder.

153325-albums2051-picture25385.jpg
Tauren uses their main worker to mine gold from central mine used for building powerful defensive structures.

153325-albums2051-picture25387.jpg
Naga race doesn't have towers so they use walls which have several abilities like immolation, reincarnation, armor bonus, etc.

This is a very innovating vampirism, featuring a completely new terrain, a lot of races and vampires to choose from - with custom spells and new types of buildings.
The general idea remains the same and it is easy to play.

Nice vamp, not just a cheap copy.. Sadly minions can kill vamps and vice a versa. Hope u fix this very soon!
Edit : Another bug! I dont know why but the game crashed.. Exception 0xC000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F7413AB
The instruction at '0x6F7413AB' referenced memory at '0x088DFFF8'. The memory could not 'read'.

VAMPIRISM nightmare v2.10b is a vampirism map with a few pleasant additions.

The terrain was pretty good, but you could've used the leaves tile a lot better. Normally, it looks a lot better if you put the leaves under the trees. You should also stay away from blizzard cliffs. To create a river, fill it in with shallow water, raise the cliff level once, and then use the lower tool. A recurring typo I saw was 'Incerases', when it shoul've been 'Increases'.

There were several character choices while playing a both a vampire and a human; making the map a lot more replayable than the generic vampirism. I came across a few custom spells, which is more than I can say about Vampirism Fire or Beast. Rather than stealing an existing terrain, you've created your own layout, and done it quite well; you have my respect. While the idea has become quite cliche, you've executed it well and added many original concepts; well done.

Rating: 3.5 and recommended for approval.

What a load of bullshit, how can a Vampirism possibly be ALL THIS?! Lol, Vamp Fire is gay [oops, better change it so that someone can't counter with something like "You're an emo", if you've looked at it in the dictionary, you'll know what I mean] plain bad, Vamp Beast is great, and Crazy's Vampirism is the best Vampirism around. So, not gonna test it, but sounds really, ambitious.

i think that the vampires in this version are pretty, weak, i mean, 2 humans could even beat a vampire, because in other versions, vampires there are too strong and it would take at least 5 humans to beat 1, that's why it is challenging. this is just a suggestion, but i think you should make the vampire stronger (more damage, stats etc.)

Tried this on Battle.net, map seems to play quite nicely. Terrain is good as well, but perhaps you should make the forests less...colorful (tint those heavily contrasting trees perhaps?). The amount of races and heroes is overwhelming at first, too. That is, some hard decisions to medidate on when you're being chased by a vampire! :p

All in all, a very good Vampirism map, up there with, ah...that Vampirism map with the Village tileset.

Whew, this is quite an original game... the most original vampirism I've ever seen to say at least.
The loading screen is the cover of a rather dissapointing album by In Flames, yet I love the artwork of the cover (the guy, giving his heart away), which is - artistically - probably the greatest cover by In Flames.

It took me a while to write this review... I wasn't sure about some things and I tested 16 races and about 8-9 heroes.
Yes: I didn't test them all, I tested the most original races/heroes (and there are quite a lot of them).


General

General:
  • The description on the hive is... perfect, all info has been given, can I have permission to add this as an example in my tutorial?
  • The in-game description can still be improved: I did not see the credits in-game and the general gameplay info.
  • All credits have been given
  • There were some minor typo's / grammar mistakes ("availible", "Wood was first recourse", "Incerases", ...), yet the overall English is very good.

Gameplay:
  • The general gameplay remained the same.
  • You did not use any additional game-modes.
  • You choose the difficulty together with the race, so it somehow has a difficulty-option.
  • The gameplay is simple: you don't need to use any advanced commands to play (which is good)
Terrain/Objects

Terrain:
  • The terrain is great for a vampirism-map.
  • You have a combined a variety standard trees with some really nice custom trees, which made a good impression on me. (Some people don't do that... which often results in an overdone, or weak terrain).
  • You did not overuse blizzard cliffs (I actually don't think you've used it at all).
  • The 'tiles' of the structures somehow look forced, because they overlap eachother.

Objects:
  • I love the option to choose your own race, which is a huge change in the general Vampirism.
  • A lot of races share the same buildings, some of them do not fit (you can simple copy/paste them and change the model/icon...), the "House" for example does not fit for the Elemental Spirit (my favourite race so far).
  • The description of every object (despite the very minor typo's) is great.
  • The custom spells are really nice, it adds a new look to the game.
  • The fact that there are a lot of original races/heroes is very good, you can play this map often without having to do the same thing over and over again.
Triggers

Triggers:
  • Well, the map is protected, but it's a generally known fact that you're a really good triggerer... I do not doubt that the triggers are efficient and leakless.
  • Only the camera-command could've been better, but it isn't really worth mentioning.
Overall

This is a vampirism where the general gameplay hasn't been changed, but there are a lot of new features.
The first thing you notice is the terrain, which isn't a normal vampirism-terrain, instead it's a really good terrain, with some variety.
After that you can choose your own race/hero (with a big selection), though some of those races could've been more advanced, since not all buildings fit the race.

This clearly the most original Vampirism I've seen so far, but it can still be improved.
You have broken the standard lay-out, now go and add even more features, change the buildings that do not fit in their race, game-modes wouldn't be bad, but don't make it too complicated either.
Try to fix all typo's (search and destroy), but I accept that it's hard to find them all, so fix most of them.
I give the map a rating of 3.5/5.

Rating: 4/5 (recommended)
Approved
(this is the first map I approve as a moderator, look at it as an honor... since I've rejected a lot of maps).
Good luck on improving this map, I am sure it can be improved a lot more.

The next race is Goblin. Goblin builder does not have blink ability, but it is able to transform into flying Zeppelin form. He can repair at faster rate, but his walls are weaker than average ones. His towers have very strong damage, but slow refire rate. They have the strongest tower in game: Missile Silo which fires powerful projectiles at enormous range. Their workers cannot detonate themselves to prevent Vampire from feeding. Their Slayer has ability do detonate all player's workers in the map, but he requires higher level to learn it.

Isn't it suppose to be the recoil rate? :p
