[Aeon of Strife] WARCRAFT LEGENDS: Path of War

WARCRAFT LEGENDS
Path of War



WHAT IS WCL_POW?


The best AoS like map that I've ever had the pleasure to develop
that is actually realistically coming out. Its a mix of two aos concepts.
The proving grounds concept from LoL + Dota like playing concept.

Why not all from LoL?
Don't take me wrong, lol has fun in proving grounds. I just don't like
the balance of it. Plus its full of people who hate their life.

Why Dota?
Dota has a randomness mojo in it. It has no leveling stats like in LoL
like ability power, damage but still has the fun concept of it. So I base
the heroes on dota concept but bring the map template from lol.



THE MAP


The map is a single lane 5v5 hero trashing arena.

- Heroes and items are based on the Warcraft Lore
- Push the lane with creeps
- Destroy enemy towers, workshop and castle to win
- Hide in brushes to ambush enemies
- You cannot go back to buy and heal once you leave the shopping area until you die

BASE



Destroy the castle to win.



CLASH AREA



Where most of the ambushing and fighting is taking place.

you take an action or an enemy comes inside the brush.

hmm, your terrain could be improved.. i know it's in progress, but maybe adding some height variation and more lanes should make it cooler
if you could make a warcraft-ish terrain and environment because it is pretty cool

 

[sentrywiz]

You are welcome to tinker around with the terrain and what not.
I wouldn't add any heights because its a straight line and is ok like that.

Other lanes? This is a one lane map. There are no other lanes.

If you feel like you can improve the ambience however, do your magic

 

[Rheiko]

add something to the water wouldn't you?
make an island or something

 

[sentrywiz]

The water is just a blank slate that I used to make the map symmetrical.

Islands are gonna be used for hero pick, shop area.
But adding random islands for no reason...
