Reasons: Other: If you have any complaints or questions directed towards a moderator, make a thread here: Map Resource Moderation If you think the moderator's judging is unfair or you have overall complaints, make a thread here: Admin Contact Please read the rules thoroughly: Rules Comment: Review: Gameplay: As far as this goes, there's no originality and the description really is yelling 'Dota clone'. It uses the generic aos formula with 3 lanes. There is a wide variety of heroes, all of them with custom spells that do fit the classes. The spell special effects are really neat and fitting, however the icons are not. For example, 'Meteor' and 'Quasar' don't have fitting icons. You should use as many custom icons as you can to make the UI look fresh and also to give spells fitting icons. The spell tooltips are ok, but it would be better if the hotkeys were bound to QWER. Terrain: The terrain isn't flat, although there are some areas in the map that are really flat and you've overused blizzard cliffs at some points. If you're going to use blizzard cliffs, then make very small cliffs, not gigantic ones. The environment also lacks custom animated grass models, water plants, flowers, etc. Other: *Show the stats when the game is over *Crypt and Graveyard don't get vulnerable when you've destroyed the third tower *clear multiboard players when some of them aren't even in-game *Add quests for tips, objectives, etc. Overall: A well executed AOS map, but not really original and not something you would pick over other AOS maps. However it works and it does have neat spells and can be fun for some people. Also I suggest you use a different preview, the current one's a bit too dark and boring looking.

Few bad things:
- No gold on start
- Creeps are there from first second, I picked that star sorcerers spawned meteor and leveled up to lvl 3 before 1st creeps spawned.
- Meteors/Infernals are way to strong
- Hero spells have small cooldown (even ultimate one)

Please fix map description, don't spam with colors, post some screenshots, and list credits here as well.

Ok I will do this speaking about creeps and gold ... well creeps first spawn have a timer of 2:00 when that timer expires first spawn starts so players have 2:00 to prepare themselves ... about the money I've heard alot of people in DotA complaining that should be correct if there were 0 money on the beggining much more fair for everyone so I decided to do this in the map ... about the heroes i know the cd and mana cost and stats are not permanent i need help from people balancing all the heroes but for starters i can balance by eye ( sorry for my english is not my mother-tonquer ) Your comment is well apreciated Thanks !

I was speaking about neutral creeps
Just hide and then when 2 min expire unhide them

 

[switchtotems]

right now im working on the map i improved a little the terrain now i remake all the cd and all the mana cost of the spells as well as casting range casting time and all these i hope it will end up as a good job ... can you please tell me how i make the towers and the creeps not hit the lowest hp target that is in theyr range ? i wanna make the towers hit like dota and creeps the same ...

Review:

Gameplay:

As far as this goes, there's no originality and the description really is yelling 'Dota clone'.
It uses the generic aos formula with 3 lanes.
There is a wide variety of heroes, all of them with custom spells that do fit the classes.
The spell special effects are really neat and fitting, however the icons are not. For example, 'Meteor' and 'Quasar' don't have fitting icons. You should use as many custom icons as you can to make the UI look fresh and also to give spells fitting icons.
The spell tooltips are ok, but it would be better if the hotkeys were bound to QWER.

Terrain:

The terrain isn't flat, although there are some areas in the map that are really flat and you've overused blizzard cliffs at some points. If you're going to use blizzard cliffs, then make very small cliffs, not gigantic ones. The environment also lacks custom animated grass models, water plants, flowers, etc.

Other:

*Show the stats when the game is over
*Crypt and Graveyard don't get vulnerable when you've destroyed the third tower
*clear multiboard players when some of them aren't even in-game
*Add quests for tips, objectives, etc.

Overall:

A well executed AOS map, but not really original and not something you would pick over other AOS maps. However it works and it does have neat spells and can be fun for some people.

Didn't know mass imports are "standard" for guys here. Btanks for example was very fine off until the "new crew" decided to start messing around using vJass and a mass of imports.
