Review: Gameplay: The map isn't original in any way as far as I know, it uses the generic castle defense formula, however you have spiced things up by adding a complex stats system that really effects your spells and your character. There is a wide range of heroes to choose from and they all have flashy looking and custom spells. There are also multiple difficulty levels and the game detects that you're playing in single-player mode, allowing you to adjust some things. There are recipes for 'ultimate' items, however most of the items are default ones, making them really boring. It would also be nice if the spell hotkeys were bound to QWER. Terrain: The terrain is ok, there's a lot of terrain height variation and also tile variation, along with some special effects used as well to make things more animated. However the grass models don't fit at all and you could have added more environment doodads. The blizzard cliffs make things look really unrealistic along with the trees on top of them. Other: The in-game text is colorized and well written, however you should do the same thing for the quest text. And a custom loading screen image and preview image would also be nice. *Some heroes have hotkeys, others don't *Change the music to something more intense (doesn't have to custom) *Add fog of war *Add snow weather effect *flame shower doesnt come from the sky Overall: An ok, maybe a bit fresher castle defense map with a unique stats system, the game can be fun, but it still lacks a lot originality and more features.

Hell_Master: Rating changed from 3/5 to 4/5 due to good changes but what's holding me really back on rating it 5/5 is for the potions actually.

Gameplay:

Terrain:

The terrain is ok, there's a lot of terrain height variation and also tile variation, along with some special effects used as well to make things more animated. However the grass models don't fit at all and you could have added more environment doodads. The blizzard cliffs make things look really unrealistic along with the trees on top of them.

*Some heroes have hotkeys, others don't
*Change the music to something more intense (doesn't have to custom)
*Add fog of war
*Add snow weather effect
*flame shower doesnt come from the sky

Overall:

An ok, maybe a bit fresher castle defense map with a unique stats system, the game can be fun, but it still lacks a lot originality and more features.

I tried making a black dagger and it doesn't work. It says Eye of Scorge 3, which probably meant 3 Eye of Scourges. But that didn't work. It also said (Upgrade shop/Recipe 3), so I got the eye from the recipe shop, but that didn't work either. There is no upgrade shop in the game. How do you make a black dagger? Fix this please.

Also, this is 99% similar to Skamigo's Hero Defense...Did you ask him for permission to make this map? All you did was add a new hero or 2 and more waves, as well as a boss. Everything else is the same.

 

[Bluegreen891]

This map is originally created by skamigos and i edited it and added many features and i ask permission to make this map and i forgot to write skamigos in special thanks. but i really give it a credit.

That's great. Make note of my bug report too.

EDIT: Wait nvm. Darn I feel stupid. I know how to make Eye of Scorge 3 now -.-

 

[Bluegreen891]

For oldmilk

You can upgrade your eye in upgrade shop
you need to follow the recipes to make it work.
I tried it and it work.

 

[dragoon431]

it's ok, but you still did better than i have lol

 

[maniawar3]

hello try to create the map but does not create and sends me to the local area network when I try. I have Warcraft 3 1.24e vercion and I have no idea why that happens

 

[Vengeancekael]

^Shorten the map's file name.

 

[Firgon]

I have the same problem, cant host with bot and the map doesnt appear on the list of maps on wc3.

Fix this!

 

[Bluegreen891]

Ok i will try.

 

[Schamanu]

As others mentioned earlier, map doesn't work. Unable to start the map, you keep ending up at the map selection screen.

 

[Bluegreen891]

Okay now for those who commented earlier i already fixed it now.

 

[akheny]

its a nice map

 

[Naman]

Well the map plays exactly like skamigo's, but I like skamigo's so its good. I found a bunch of bugs though (played as phoenix since he is new from skamigo's): the ult would trigger if you tried to cast firebolt, firebolt would do major dmg to every enemy near you (if thats on purpose you should put it in tooltip) and i couldnt find what i needed to get my hero's ultimate item, but i may have just missed that one. also, some bugs with upgrading eye of apocalypse: level 3 eye is worth more than u pay for it (pay 44k, sells for 50k) and clicking upgrade eye of apocalypse without an eye gives you 20k gold for each time you click it. we ended up losing cuz the heroes went there and were getting the free gold while units blew up our castle haha

 

[091846]

after lv 30 i have - cap............ that make me lose 60k per wave like this how to win lol

 

[Bluegreen891]

The Upgrade eye or Eye of Apocalypse bug is now Fixed.

 

[rcshaggy]

I'll try it out and see if I like it mostly, but still I'm not a big fan of Winter.

 

[091846]

the bug found 1st boss kill ppl the ppl cant revive themselves

 

[091846]

once you died , you cant reivive bug ,, please fix it before you do anything

 

[maniawar3]

the map is really good but i find one problem.
i die and never resurrect!
the count stay in 0 and never resurrect again!!
please fix these!


my english is bad please sorry for that

 

[Eiswolf_cool]

same problem as maniawar3, every hero stays dead.
When someone buys a Ticket to the Undead Central or the Arena with the 5 heroes and is not lvl 80, you get a Message that you are not lvl 80, lost against theses Enemies and that you can never enter this again.
The Archer gets many kills in the Round with zombies and Abomination (i think because of the pest)

But this Map is great , hope you can fix the Bugs and that you add some content

 

[gorillabull]

i'd stick to x hero

 

[Bluegreen891]

Sorry, i only play single play. but i will try to fix this bug.

 

[Bluegreen891]

Please give this map a rating.

 

[crazyshort]

may i ask where can choose the trader?
and also pandaren brewmaster ulti is too laggy
and still pandaren own item got a skill but y i cant use it!!!!!!!!

hope this all can solve quickly

 

[Bluegreen891]

To choose trader you must have many players to play this hero because it only supports other heroes.

 

[Bluegreen891]

In Version 1.09 i reduced the lag of Ultimate of Pandaren brewmaster but i did not fix the bug when the hero dies.

 

[Dr Super Good]

There appears to be bugged tags in the map description. By this I mean that the termination tags are appearing through the publication process.

The Retirement of this map

All can now use my resources but please give a comment and a rating to me because i quit editing this map.


Edit:
My Game is fixed now so i will protect this map again.

 

[13lackAce]

i and my friend really loves the game but we think u should balance the heroes more, especially the support hero trader.(look at link from me, thats a "normal" trader in our game) we think some heros are unbalanced from he dmg from gamestart, as example battlemage kills every unit in wave 1 and axemasteronly 10... otherwise it should be more lvl 5 recipes in the shop, if u want i can give u few items if u dont know some.
http://i42.tinypic.com/714fnm.jpg

the terrain is godd i think, but maybe put a few more objects in the ways. last endboss(lich) is truly to weak, 1 divine tower can kill him nearly solo.

100k gold exchange for 12 diamonds is bugged, u lose 100k gold but dont get anything.
workers cant repair divine tower, but he can repair normal tower, plz fix this

all in all 4/5
good work and i enjoy the next versions

 

[Bluegreen891]

Resuming of this map

Okay my game is now fixed and i will resume the map and i will fix this map now.

 

[Bluegreen891]

I will release the next version on next 3 Days or more. and vote this map please.

 

[Bluegreen891]

Thank you for those who commented earlier to know what is the bug.

 

[TheDownloader]

Try this latahh

 

[orchius]

Well, I love every map that I can play on single player mode. This map is great, but also really bad. The things that I feel unhappy with are:
>The starting money is way too much and make it kinda easy, in the original one I feel the intense right in the first wave.
>There are many items but a few of them are so unbalanced(that what I think), like the one that gives u 1000 damage(too easy to get), the orc that give u 2000+ defense/attack,...
>The defense increases too fast(or the monsters too lame) make it a little boring, u don't need to be so cautious buying the potions...
>Monsters stun for too long, I can barely get conscious when being beaten like a puppet, they're weak but invincible to kill...
>From the 40th wave above, killing the monsters give u too little money, 47-55 gold per one. I can just wait for the Capitalism to give me bonus.
>One last thing, the boss is nothing special, they all are sissies, killing them way too boring. You should build a boss with special tricks to kill, like they can be invincible for a short time, can multiple(what the map had), can make your slow as hell, block your skills, has some sidekicks, manashield... and it can have skills that have huge damage, can make u immediately lose 30% health/mana,...
This map can really be good, hope you modify it soon, wish you luck.

 

[orchius]

Btw, I can't vote yet, but I give this 4 for the possibility of becoming a great map. See yah.

Thank you for your comment and I'll fix it as soon as possible.

 

[orchius]

Btw, can u fix the 100000gold builder, he fixes the castle too fast (and invincible too). When I upgrade the castle full 50 times, no way it can be destroyed with that builder. Thanks and good luck.

Thank you again.

 

[trolly056]

You wrote RED BARON 2 times in Credits - Models. Just saying .. Hehe

 

[orchius]

I see you change the map, but it seems a lot easier. You decreased the gold required to many items a half, this makes thing so not challenging. I played GOD mode x6 spawn alone and yet still too easy, just difficult for a few starting waves. I think u need to turn the prize back, and the wood items (items bought by wood) I suggest wood can only get from the boss of each 10 waves and the 5bosses area, this makes you spend more cautious. For more challenges, I think from Hard mode above, you should increase the monsters' damage a bit, more monsters more damage increases chronologically(if u spawn x4,x5,x6 mob it harder but more money, so u soon get strong items), the castle requires gold to get fixed, About the heroes, they have some... uhm...well...superb skills...
Sorry if I typed too much and that may upset you. Good luck!

 

[Bluegreen891]

As long as you tell me about the problem.

 

[gorillabull]

have you guys played that siege of northrend or whatever something with northrend and lich king it has a a lot of good work put into it and still somewhat the castle def genre just is not here anymore now its all rpg's

 

[LordJoker]

I kill 2nd boss, and it gave me essense of darkness. How can I use it?

 

[LordJoker]

btw, diamond that must give +300 capitalism doesn't work too
