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

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. Screenshot: 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.

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. Race Introduction 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Gnoll race is simmilar to mage, but it can customize not only towers, but also walls with items bought at their special shops. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Tauren uses their main worker to mine gold from central mine used for building powerful defensive structures. Naga race doesn't have towers so they use walls which have several abilities like immolation, reincarnation, armor bonus, etc.

nice. just nice. =))))

 

[Slaydon]

Looks nice, just one question, why did you use Oblivion Icons on the Overview ? ;D

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

They look very nice.

 

[baltross]

What happend to murloc? Anyway cool

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

There is naga race (the last one in race description) which uses murloc as their builder.

 

[baltross]

Cool but murlocs is more than a man and more than a fish xD Anyway Is it a final version yet or beta or so?

 

[Slaydon]

you could make an Escape Menu instead of the Commands (Skips a cinematic)

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Cool but murlocs is more than a man and more than a fish xD Anyway Is it a final version yet or beta or so?

This is final version, but 3.01 is in development which will add even more diversity to gameplay.

you could make an Escape Menu instead of the Commands (Skips a cinematic)

That's a good idea. Ill add it to my top priorities.

 

[Water_Bender]

Will the players turn into one vampire minion hero? Or will there be a different one for each class of vampire?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It is only 1 vampire minion for now, nut we have already planned to add them more.

 

[Velmarshal]

This might be as well as the first Vampirism map I'm starting to like.
Anyway gj on the terrain.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

I updated to new version. Thanks for your comments.

 

[xvarts]

Sounds good. will it work?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

How do you mean? The map works if you ask that. If you refer to return bug, I have only 1 trigger which uses H2I and it is changed easily.

 

[NoAmmoSrry]

im a totaly downlaod this a play it later today. looks epic

 

[Dragonson]

I WERE a hardcore vampirism player, until i got hit by a rp shock and then... [long story about how i ended up spending most of my time on hive workshop and worldeditor and not on battlenet] ... and this looks AWESOME! When i saw this map on the developing forums i thought "Lets hope they finally allow the the humans to choose races and classes", and i can say that i werent disappointed! The word awesome kinda doesent work for this map... i need a better one... awesomesaucewithdemonbeefandepicspice?

Anyways i cant wait to play this one =) it seems alot awesomer than my last fave: Vampirism Fire.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Update: Finished complete items list. Again, thanks for all comments!

 

[Dragonson]

Nice =)
"The one Ring" (i can even see where in the movie the clip is from... not that hard ;P) doesent seem to have a name on the list. Also, you should give it a active ability that turns you "Permanently" invisible for a liminited time. That would be cool =)

I like that there are no items that destroy a building completely, or makes you able to teleport a small distance. Those things were always seriously imba in vamp fire. You should also make it so "The One Ring"'s ability to damage random units does not target buildings or the human builder, but only human heroes, human summons, humain repairers and other such stuff. That would balance it abit =)

Keep on the awesome work!

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Warlock ring cannot damage buildings .

 

[Dragonson]

Oh, its called warlock ring?
coolio =) can it damage builder?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It can damage builders, but deals only minor damage to him.

 

[Dragonson]

Ah. thats a good solution =)

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Do you have any suggestions for next versions?

 

[chilla_killa]

Wow, this is so awesome.
Terrain is perfect, many interesting races.
Just perfect 5/5 +rep

 

[Dragonson]

Do you have any suggestions for next versions?

Hmm... well, im not sure =S
This vampirism seems to have almost everything it needs already, but il give you a call if i get idea =)

 

[Dragonson]

Okay... Il do a lil review on the current races/classes and come with some suggestions =)

A Vampirism Fan's Review:

Human races:

Click here!

Roman: Nothing to complain about here =)
Goblin: I like the idea with the ability to detonate all player's workers in the map, but it could be used by the goblin player to blackmail the others into giving him resources, wich is bad. Perhaps it should only detotate workers that only uses food, and not the ones that cost gold, and that you would try to move away from your base instead of detonating.
Templar: Da defence dude: hes almost obligatory right?
Morphling: I like this one. The chance for the wall to go banish should be a a %5 or something, and it should be on all of their buildings =)
Geomancer: Once again: a nice idea. But be carefull. Burrow screws up alot of stuff, and do for f**** sake not give it to a unit with mana! When the unit burrows its mana will be set to 0 when it surfaces again, and its mana reg will be gone. permanently.
Mage: Using items to increase tower damage is a thing that works awesomely. Trust me. I played eve! td.
Bandit: I must say that i am ABIT sceptical about this one. It is a cool idea, and it should work in theory. BUT... balancing units so that they will aid the combat, and not be imba, is hard, but if you can make it work, itl be cool =)
Undead: Nihce. Niche. This one will be interesting to play =) Give the walls a small chance (about 2½%) to generate a abomination instead.
Elemental Spirit: This sounds cool too =) Make sure the items are stronger than the ones the mage got.
Nord: This one reminds me of power towers, but well, power towers were a awesome concept =) Your should make it so that the mana transfered heals the walls instead of letting them cast spells. That would be neater =)
Firelord: Great idea =) Hope you can make it work without the player stressing out
Gnoll: Another great idea =) Rmb to weaken the items abit.
Treefolk: So... they use units as towers? Im sorry but this one confused me abit =(
Merchant: Now THIS is a awesome idea! You should make the caravans upgradeable, and make sum triggers that make them keep taking the rute without the player having to order them around all the time. Make them slow, so that the vamps got a chance to destroy them, but give the trade route outpost big =)
Dwarf: This is the one for players that think that vampirism is too easy. Its gonna be tough as hell. You could make it so that the hero learns to build towers as he levels up. That would be cool =)
Draenei: This one COULD get abit boring. You should make the workers able to build traps and stuff around the map, and other stuff that will irritate the vamps as hell. Also make sure that there can only be one of each race, else it would screw game balance totally.
Nerubian: Okay, the fast dev race. Im not sure i got the thing about marking and attacking though... does it mean that the towers can only attack targets marked by theese units???
Troll: A nice addition to the map =) Not really more to say im afraid.
Burning Legion: Rename it to demons please Normal units as towers is a idea i cant get myself to like =( give the hero a uproot/root ability. that could work =)
Elves: Again this reminds me of power towers, and is a awesome idea. Your should make the power plants regenerate mana to nearby buildings intsead. would be alot easyer and probably work nicely =)
Bounty Hunter: Cool idea. They do use towers right?
Tauren: I like this one =) Give the worker alot of defence abilities.
Naga: Sounds great =D

Okay now... il give you the vamp class review later.
MAN that lil hub of text were tiring. dunno why.

oh and... have i even given you rep for this yet? O.ô guess i got a lil something to do!

 

[Dragonson]

A Vampirism Fan's Review
Part 2

Okay.... time for da vamps!

Vampire Classes

Click Here!

Demon Vampire: should be called demonic vampire
Mage: The healer: its the kind of vamp not many wants to be, but everyone wants someone else to be.
Undead: The tank. Obligatory =)
Demigod: Like the skills on this one =) Nice icon you got for it!
Eredar: I think this one will be popular. Do you make those icons yourself? the blurr once is awesome! I know demonic swipes is a ulti, but make sure it doesent last too long. Else it would be like demonic remains in vamp fire O.ô
Lich: Yay! Go liches! Nice skills again for this one. Im gonna play that if im ever gonna be a vamp =)
Gargoyle: Nice idea! Make sure it isnt imba though.
Ghoul: I also think this one will be popular. =)
Assasin Vampire: I think id play this one too. Gonna be popular 100%.
Warlock: As soon as i saw the minion i were about to write "Make sure it cant be summoned inside bases!", but then i saw you had already taken care of it it would be cool if you could choose between diffirent minions when you first learn the skill.
Satyr: Make sure this one is tougher than the other assasin.
Revenant: Had to be there somewhere
Infernal: Nice idea! But, make sure that the minions doesent spawn inside the human base if the infernal is attacking a wall.
Aerial: Nice =) make sure the aerial grab is unable to target workers!
Starborn: Cool one =)

Finished =)
Man those icons are really awesome! I could actually use that flame walk icon in my own map! So eh... is it a published icon on hive? for i would really like to borrow that one!

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

That icon is made by lnFlames who unfortunately doesn't have acc here at hive. But, I know him IRL and he says:

lnFlames: "You can use icon, but put me in credits, pls pls! C0B will attach it if needed."

C0B: "Creating a sub account is funny... lol"

 

[Dragonson]

Heh =P Well i think il need a attach. =(

Okay... Item Reveiw time!

A Vampirism Fan's Reveiw
Part 3

This reveiw will mostly be a "status check" on the items.
Green: Needs more coffee.
Yellow: Balanced.
Red: Needs nerfing.
Dark Red: OMG! IMBA!

But OFC i will also be posting comments, if i can think of something to post =P
And eh... if you want a REAL detailed item reveiw, post pricing and how much gold vamp gets from killing stuf.

Click here!

Circlet of Nobility: Fine.
Divinity Grem: 200 hp = about three shots from a lv 1 tower.
Health Gem: Nothing to write home about here.
Energy Gem: I dont know how much mana a vamp usually usees/has, but i think this is reasonably balanced.
Mantle of Intelligence: Same as above.
Ring of Health: Okay... what kind of 15+ health reg? 15 hp per sec or 15+ health reg? If it is just 15+ health reg watchout, since it is in percent, and just writing 1 means 100%. If it is 15 hp per sec, this should be pretty expensive.
Slipper os Agility: Fine too.
Sobi Mask: Nothing wrong here.
Stout Shield: Give it abit extra armor. From what ive seen in your map, 40 dmg isnt much.
Oracle's Gem: Pretty nice idea =) raise the chance abit though.
Warding Gem: Spell shield every 30 seconds? thats gonna be REAL IMBA against some races.
Axe of Slaying: All ordinary.
Axe of the Titans: Woweth. You do know that along with other stuff, this thing is gonna give about 1500 hp? this things gonna be X-PENSIVE!
Blades of Attack: This one is almost a waste of bagspace unless its REAL cheap.
Bloodstone Ring: FLACK! Thats ALOT of damage, hp, mana, armor, attack speed, etc! Gonna be XXX-PENSIVE!
Hellion Ring: Should be a recepie...
Hurricane: Like Axe of the Titans, this is gonna be a money eater. Even though its gonna be ultra damage dealing when you get it...
Longsword: Balanced.
Mithril Hammer: Balanced id say.
Moebiu's Gloves: I dont really see how this is of any use since youl be attacking walls most of the time.
Mystic Staff: Like the Other two with +75.
Plate Mail: De Balancê
Testalos Gloves: Balanced.
Unholy Claws: Balanced.
Unholy Hood: I THINK its balanced...
Unholy Shield: Nice one =) Dont make it too expensive.
Warglaive of Zida'Ya: Just on the border of basic items.
Wooden Staff: More coffee!
Zaborg's Gloves: Like this one =D
Amulet of Spell Shield: MORE COOLDOWN! ARGH!
Shard of Immortallity: Give it ABIT more cooldown.
Staff of Teleportation: Only allied ones right?
Massive Grave: The horror of the human player.
Tome of Experiance: Has to be there somewhere.

OK... that should be it.
Il do the recepies, another time.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Thanks for your in-depth reviews. But, you should know that one main attribute point gives 0,25 damage. All other stat gains are greatly reduced too, so item giving +60 to all stats doesn't add that much.

Anyway, I am planning to do something with those items like change them and put in some recipes. Amulet of Spell Shield's cooldown will be increased. For the warding gem; I have tested it a lot and it seems that it's cooldown is in place.

Thanks, again.

 

[Dragonson]

No problem =)

 

[Dragonson]

No problem =)

Oh and... do you have anything specefic youd like reveiwed? I can do the recepies, but i just wanted to know.

 

[Dragonson]

*silence*

 

[.Ragnaros]

finally! A DECENT version of the old concept Vampirism... In my opinion it will be ultra great, probably a map that will be a lot played and critiqued.

Simply love it. Keep it up +rep

 

[Dragonson]

Dude... Just wait til' ya try it =P Its Awesome. With capital A.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

so this is 1.24 compatible, right?

 

[Sheephunter]

+rep for In Flames DDD

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It isn't 1.24 compatible as I have some unfinished features. Due to school and some other private problems I'll be forced to delay my work on Vampirism. I hope the delay won't be too long...

 

[Zack1996]

I hope it's compatible soon! My friend really loves Vampirism and this looks very much better than the original.

The terrain and everything else is awesome! Good luck!

 

[Shanghai]

Realy cool dude ur great terrainer shows ur skillz U gaved me some ideas for other maps + rep

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

just wondering, is it inspired at all by island defense?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

just wondering, is it inspired at all by island defense?

I never liked Island Defence and if there are similarities between it and my map it wasn't done intentionally.

 

[Dragonson]

There is abit of similarities with all the races and the diffirent building systems.
I dont know what youre working on right now, but if youre making more races: Dont. Just add more content to the old ones. =) Theyre all awesome, but in my opinion simply needs more content. (Also in my opinion: THAT is where Island Defence failed.)

 

[sebbestuffa]

haha, hell yeah xD great map! you have make me loove vampirism again! <3
I'm soo happy for the results of the map (I have tested one of the first versions of the game) and i must say. This is skills. +rep to you for the perfect vampirism ;P

 

[Dragonson]

So... wassah happening CoB? =)

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

I am very busy with school lately so I'm missing some updates.

 

[zolga]

man i like it when i first saw it two months ago but one thing bugs me
WHY THE FU*K ARE SOME ICONS GREEN FIX IT madaFUCKA

sry i like green but it annoys me sometimes
seriously fix it

 

[Dragonson]

Green Icons do suck. But hell... if you don't know the cause, it can be hellish to fix.
I'm not the superviser of this, and technically not even on the team, but i know that this will be a very prized information if theese icon's are to be fixed: Wich ones?
No really... looking through every icon in the game, every unit, every item, every building, IS TIRESOME! There's alot of stuff yaknow =P So please, post a list of icon's that go green. If that information is available, it is much easier to fix.

 

[Dragonson]

This... this DEAD?! D:
